Stayed for 5 nights while visiting the parks near by. Although it can be a treacherous drive to the parks that is unavoidable. Located within a couple hour drive of Yosemite, kings canyon and sequoia national parks. The property is on a hillside but easily drivable . I would not call the included breakfast your typical of hotel breakfast. It’s a full buffet every morning with lots of hot options. It was so much we did not eat lunch all week. Would definitely stay here when back in the area. Beds and pillows were great. Had a balcony overlooking a wooded area. Great for drinking your morning coffee. Thank you for the great stay!

Privately situated rooms, spread out over several acres of natural landscape, indoor and outdoor pools both well maintained, and the included breakfast bar was unexpectedly good with a surprising number of choices.

We had an awesome stay here! The location is super convenient, close to Yosemite and plenty of restaurants nearby. The staff was really friendly and made everything easy. Our room was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed. The property itself is nice and has a relaxing vibe. The breakfast was a highlight way better than your standard hotel breakfast, with hot eggs, sausage, waffles, fruit, and good coffee. Perfect way to fuel up before heading out to explore. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Yosemite. We’ll definitely stay here again!
