26 miles downstream from Yosemite Valley , we are located on a small valley under a grove of oaks in a former scouts camp. We are best known for our authentic old-style mountain resort character and social atmosphere. We have everyone from backpackers to young families who enjoy this place. The June Bug Cafe focuses on sustainable, local and fresh, in a daily changing menu with excellent vegan and vegetarian options as well as standard meats and seafood. The Cafe is considered to be one of the five best in the Yosemite Region. The Yosemite Health Spa is social and busy with herbal soaks, H2O2 Hot Tub and a hot rocks sauna. We have yoga on weekends. The private rooms are decorated well but all are different in style. Our family cabins and dorms are very popular. We align with the Hostelling International brand for our backpacker dorms. All accommodations are in stilted cabins. Tent Cabins are all well appointed and can be heated or regular for budget travellers.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I was at the resort a few days ago and I was assigned a room for that allow dogs. The room was pretty nice. I have three star quality. The only thing was that it looked like no one had use that room for a very long time and there were leaves and mold on the deck. I just want to let people know that I had dog with me that I had to carry a suitcase, my computer and another bag of groceries I had to walk up and down the stairs four or five times and then I had to move my car, which was a long ways away in the designated parking area. I am in pretty good condition, so I went up and down the stairs a total of about 10 times and I want to let people know that if you are elderly or have a handicap it would not be advisable to stay here if you have a dog , the dog room is a long ways away although I saw a lot of people with dogs that were not staying in that area. Other than that the hotel room was OK but pricey they charged me $70 for my dog and $99 for the room and it wasn’t anything special. The restaurant, as usual, was excellent. Also, the lady at the front desk was not very friendly.

THIS PLACE WAS WONDERFUL, BUT NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT WALK STAIRS OR UP AND DOWN STEEP HILLS. MY GROUP LOVED THE FOOD SOLD AT THE CANTEEN THE BEST! PRICES WERE GREAT FOR WHAT YOU GOT! THE ROOMS WERE FUN. EACH WITH THEIR OWN FLAVOR. WE LOOK FORWARD TO GOING AGAIN NEXT YEAR AT THE "GODDESS FESTIVAL" IN MARIPOSA.

I wasn't exactly sure how to rate this place. I stayed for one night after a short visit to Yosemite national Park. We had a tent cabin with two twin beds. It was a little weird for my husband and I so I'll freely admit that we ended up pushing the beds together :) Anywhoo...our cabin had a little swamp cooler that worked remarkably well. It cools off nicely in the evenings anyway, but the cooler helped. Check in was easy enough..we had a little trouble finding our cabin, but it worked. We had to share a potty but it was always available when we wanted it. Oh and the wifi was pretty good. Two suggestions for you readers: 1... Bring a flashlight. They have adequate path lighting, but I carried a flashlight on a midnight potty visit and it helped. 2. I always carry a 3 prong powerstrip with me. Usually at hotels I don't need it. I needed it for this place.

Me and my wife had a very lovely stay. The staff was very kind and helpful and the meals in the June Bug Cafe were delicious. Plenty of variety to choose from. The room was very clean and cozy with a comfortable bed. The only issue is the parking but since we went mid September we were always able to find a spot in the lower parking lot. Didn't really mind the walk up the hill. We loved that one morning we woke up with a couple of deer outside our back window. Would definitely come back again.

Rooms were lovely. Bathrooms clean. Restaurant onsite and their staff pleasant and helpful. However parking is a nightmare. If some park poorly you are out of luck. I did not appreciate losing my spot to others because they do not know how to park. Threstened with towing if I left my car by charger when only spot left. Allowed to park in lower lot in handicapped which i appreciated however its a tough walk up the hill to cabin. I had asked for a lower cabin but that message was not received and not sure where that fell through. If you cant handle walking up steep hills and steps dont stay here.

We had a great stay here. Booked a tent with beds in it for the family so we could visit Yosemite. Although it was August it wasn’t too hot at night & the beds were comfy. The facilities were clean and the June bug cafe served fantastic food. Really tasty home cooked food with a lot of veggie choices, which was a welcome relief for my vegetarian daughter who struggled to find many veggie options elsewhere in America. About 45 minutes drive to Yosemite entrance.

I was really excited about bringing my family here and had high hopes for this place and this completely exceeded them all. We stayed for 2 nights. Our family room (double and 2 singles) was big and the beds were big and comfy (we stayed in 7 different accomodations on our trip and these beds were the best by far) we all had great night's sleep. Aided by the extremely quiet air conditioning. Everything was clean and the bathroom was we'll equipped. The actual location was lovely. We love being in the open (normally campers) so this was fantastic. The food in the restaurant was amazing so tasty and HUGE portions. Really interesting choices too. The first night we had 3 meals between 4 the second we had 2 and 1 pudding! I really can't wait to return and spend longer here.

Absolutely perfect spot for those doing any exploration of yosemite. Stayed in a 6 bunk room with like minded hikers and visitors. Great restaurant on side ... food is exceptional. Accommodations were sparse but just what you needed. Comfortable bunk....well appointed bathroom. Nice trail with a great swimming hole nearby the property. Spa facilities and a wonderful masseuse on site to ease your hiking pain. Would stay here again in a minute.

This is my first and last stay of two nights at a badly maintained facility located on a road to excellent Yosemite. The wall heater had a lit pilot, but did not heat. Part of the mattress of the queen size bed fell to the floor during the second night. Their advertised ‘Superior private rooms with baths’ are also advertised with refrigerators. It had a small ‘beverage cooler’, non-working without electricity, and secured in a bathroom closet without a way to even find the electrical connection. The front door light was such a dim glow that a flashlight was needed to see the stairs located four feet from the door. The management is practiced in the avoidance of dealing with issues. Those young people work for owners who ap’parently’ set the pace for their hired ‘children’. Here is the full breakdown, literally. Early June 2023, I arrived about 10:15 PM. It was cold. The room was cold. The wall heater pilot was on, but the wall thermostat did not activate it. There is a wall heat pump. It was on but I did not get heat. The desk person came with me to look. She could not work the wall heater. She did get the heat pump to begin giving heat. Good. Oh, by the way, if arriving later as I did, you might be parking at an overflow lot about 1,000 feet beyond regular parking, up a steep drive at a 200 foot elevation gain. It is a hike. Do not forget anything in your car. I found parking the second night. She said ‘maintenance’ would look at the wall heater tomorrow. The heat from the pump was okay, but seemed like sleeping by a diesel truck-stop. In the morning, the man at the desk said they turn off wall heaters about this time of year and depend on heat pumps. So, why was the pilot on full blast? At the end of ‘tomorrow’ I purchased food to put in what I thought was a small refrigerator. But it was a beverage cooler and was dead and unmovable. I told the woman at the desk, the same one who was there the first night. She was hostile to my coming in the door because she said the office was closed and she was finishing helping some new arrivals. Come tomorrow. She listened when I said thank you for helping with the heat last night. Her attitude changed. “By the way, the small ‘fridge’ does not work. Can someone look at it tomorrow?” What could she say, due to arrivals? She had been hostile. There is a hostel there, too, [a play on words] and a large cooler is in the dining area for them. I suggested that I use it. She agreed. Wow. So, up the hill - to the ‘Superior private room with bath and refrigerator {sic}’ that was dead, and back downhill to the dining area, and up to bed. The bed - about 4 AM, it went ‘plop’. My feet were at floor level. The slightly undersize plywood sheet under the springs had come off the side rails. I was glad to be leaving that morning. I thought, if the owner does poor management and maintenance, then what else is inconsistent? So, I decided to take pictures and give a report. Note the picture of the wall notice PLEASE HELP US CONSERVE – Water & Septic, Gas, Electricity. The glass is cracked like their activity in the program. The next picture shows the toilet tank is old high flow, not low flow. The furnace pilot is full on, but the heater burner cannot be activated. A standing pilot uses about 1/3 of the total gas for a furnace that is fully operational. So, why is it not turned off? Note the carpet in the picture of the bed breakdown. It is worn, and I wonder what it holds from over the years. Some furniture is real retro and some is faux. When leaving in the morning, I mentioned to the man that a bed partially collapsed onto the floor, at ‘Sentinel Dome – B’. He remarked, “Was it the queen bed?” I said, “That’s the one.” A-mazed.
