"Gorgeous location. Excellent food. Comfy beds. Sturdy but soft pillows. Wonderful water pressure in the shower. The grounds are soooo beautiful. Like it’s been built right into the surrounding nature. Quiet. The food was delish. Bar at the Tavern is so fun. The staff are incredibly sweet. And knowledgeable about everything. Only negative: we called twice for them to come clean our room, even though we had declined room service earlier. They said we could call if we wanted it at any time. But no one ever showed. "

"I will be honest, I was a little hesitant to book a stay at this property due to the outdated looking pictures online. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived with my family. The rooms do need a little refresh and really just new comforters and curtains would make a huge difference in the overall look and feel. Also, if the pictures online were updated and taken by a professional photographer with better lighting it would be more appealing to potential customers. Anyway- for the positives … the room was clean, check in was easy. Proximity to Yosemite was perfect and made for an easy drive to and from the park. What I was most impressed with though were the outdoor areas on the property. They have a nice area along the Merced River with picnic tables, swings and even a little beach area with chairs to sit in. The pool area (which isn’t even pictured online) was super cute and well put together, as well. My family and I could have spent an entire day just lounging around the pool! Things do improve on - the restaurant breakfast options there weren’t that great and they were out of a lot of things despite showing up pretty early and our bathroom sink only had had cold water. Despite those negatives I would definitely stay at this property again and will recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to rest near Yosemite."

"Second stay this time at the cottages only issue indoor pool being renovated so out of use. The complex is getting a renovation across all rooms so some were out of action but nearly done. "
