Stayed here for a few days as a homebase for a trip into Yosemite. Location was absolutely ideal as it is just outside the park. We stayed in a family apartment with four adults that was incredibly spacious restaurant was nice and the staff was very helpful. Would stay here again for sure the next time I’m around.

We were so happy with our stay. Its proximity to Yosemite was fantastic and the restaurant was great. The room had a balcony with a table and chairs that overlooked the Merced River. We were pleasantly surprised by how it had a jacuzzi tub and a fireplace too!

We fell in love with this place! The patio river view was the best, but they also have huge jacuzzi tubs, multiple pools and an indoor pool, a game room, and a cute gift shop/grocery store. The only thing I feel they need to improve is the dinning experience. It was very expensive and the quality was lacking, and so was the service. Other than that it was a great stay with wonderful memories made!

Very nice property, location, amenities. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because their WiFi is extremely frustrating: constantly losing connection. May as well list it as w/o WiFi - and the worst is that cell phone signal is 0 bars. So, (almost) no internet - keep that in mind if you ever need to take a zoom call or anything like that while there. You’d need to drive up to the Yosemite Village for closest decent internet (cellular and WiFi) connection. Otherwise, wonderful property.
