Simple mountain lodge hotel room but with great staff and amazing outdoor amenities. My favorite part might have been the comfy rockers on the balcony that overlooks the mountains and nearby stream but there were lots of other outdoor areas for gathering to relax and enjoy the mountains. Very friendly staff that are super helpful and knowledgeable for exploring the area.

The location to the train depot was the selling point for our getaway. The room was spacious enough for four adults with a nice forest view balcony. There's no light so make sure you bring a small lamp to enjoy the balcony at night. The drive to Yosemite is about a 45 minute drive of beauty!!

The location and proximity to the national park was great. The rustic feel and quant size added charm to the stay, which was way too short for use to really enjoy the setting.

Beautiful room with classic furniture and a lovely balcony. The inn is/had obviously been loved by someone who put a lot of effort into details. We were welcomed with coffee and other comforts. The room was comfortable. The gift shop was cute. Only issue was the loud fan on the AC/heater, which woke me up a couple of times when it turned on through the night.

This property is so cute and relaxing. Simple room but very comfortable, we rode the sugar pine railroad while we were there, a must do! Short drive to Yosemite and much more reasonable than staying in the park. If you stay here, make plans to eat at their onsite restaurant, once you do you won’t want to eat anywhere else!
