We had a lovely stay last week! The property is very family- and dog-friendly, with clean rooms, well-maintained grounds, friendly staff, and all the amenities we needed. The on-site restaurant offered good food, and the location was great. Nice and close to the park. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises!
The room had been updated and was very comfortable, great bed, nice bathroom, great restaurant right next to our room that was quick and easy and decent food.
Clean and comfortable room. We liked being able to walk to the cafe for dinner. Quaint and charming place. Great place to stay before your Yosemite adventure, but there isn’t anything else around.
Enjoyed my stay, the restaurant was nice as well. The lady at front desk was very nice and friendly. Had laundry area with 3 machines, but 2 of the washing machines were out of order. Hot tub was not working as well. We stayed in cabin 610. At first no hot water, but they turneded up hot water tank the next day for us. I would stay there again if I return to Yosmite.
Loved this place! Our favorite by far. Been on a 2 week trip and I have noticed (everywhere we stayed), we get the worst room. I think they put the worst room on Expedia. Buck Lodge was clean and cute and charming. Lots of parking, nice facilities and great restaurant/bar next door.
Awesome lodge! Close to Yosemite. Rooms were really nice and had a lot of room. Lucky Buck restaurant is located on site and had wonderful food. Also had washer and dryers on site, outdoor pool, and swingset and cornhole. Would definitely go back!!

Bed was not super comfortable. Room was reasonably clean. Just stayed overnight - it was convenient - next day head to Yosemite. Nothing really stood out at this place.
We liked having a restaurant on site. We liked the covered porch. The bathroom door needs oiled as it squeaked and woke up others when using it at night. Also, the toilet seat needed tightened. Convenient to Yosemite
Curly blonde desk clerk at check-in was about as rude and passive aggressive as they come. Cabin in the back was at least quiet until the road traffic picked up or the trash pick up comes at 7:30 am. LOL! Thank goodness they had black out curtains. That was a plus. Fridge wasn’t working, threw out about $50 in food because of it. Bed and pillows were decent but TBH we were exhausted after hiking all day. Space was small but clean to the eye. Towels were crusty and one was permanently stained so we used that as our shower mat. It was definitely overpriced but was good for what we needed, which was a place to land after day hiking in the park.
Great stay. The restaurant lucky buck cafe is the best, good food and staff. Good selection of beers on tap. Spacious clean rooms and overall great value for money.
This hotel is a great location just outside the park. The rooms are fine. I gave 3 stars because the staff is kinda rude and I booked this hotel for the laundry. There was 1 working washer which was in use. It was only open til 9 pm. And did not open til 10 am
We got there at 8 pm and we're leaving in the morning. They told me too badok that's their policy. Got it
Anyway there were more issues. the hotel is fine. Good luck if you want a washer or dryer. anytime I asked a question I was met with a rude answer.
Property was welcoming to pets, we brought our dog with us. The restaurant served good food, we ate dinner and breakfast. It was a little to cold when we visited to use the pool, but hot tub was nice.
Nice quaint place. Small but comfortable rooms. Ice machine is at the property next door so the only minor negative

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
We stayed 2 nights in Room 611, which is apparently the only queen room with an attached patio/deck. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was hard for my back. The outside patio/deck was nice, but the table and chairs had not been cleaned in some time. You have minimal interaction with the staff. It's in a nice location, pretty close to the park entrance. The Lucky Dollar Cafe next door is a decent place to eat (and the only place to eat). Overall, a nice play to stay.
