Yosemite View Lodge

Great location right on the river and the closest property to the Yosemite Park. We are a family of 4 adults and had 2 rooms for 4 nights in Maple block first floor. We are on a 3 week fly drive holiday. Rooms are spacious with a balcony with 2 chairs and a kitchen area consisting of microwave, small fridge, 2 hob and coffee machine and crockery etc. Very comfy bed but found pillows squiggy with little support. Plenty of toiletries and washing up liquid and sponge provided. Nice size bathroom. Plenty of parking, great pizzeria on site and nice restaurant (soup and salad bar included in main meal price). Breakfast costs nearly $20 per person but good choice. One indoor pool and 3 outside pools, great to relax by after a long day. Plenty of sunbeds around pool. Communal lounge, and shop with basics (although expensive). If you require wifi this costs $10 per day for 2 devices (although we only managed to connect to one device as it wouldnt allow a second). Enjoyed our stay, but expensive so bring provisions with you if possible. Read less

Our family of 4 with 2 young kids stayed in the Black Oak building on the 2nd level. The room was large with a small microwave, fridge, coffeemaker (coffee provided was terrible), and a nice porch off the back overlooking the white water of the Merced River. The room had a massive jetted tub with 2 showerheads but was dated a bit. The bathroom was huge also. There are 4 or 5 pools on the property and they have hot tubs as well. If you want wifi then you have to pay $10/day. Phone service was basically non existent. The location was the closest to Yosemite and cheaper than the options we found in the park. Read less

We stayed in the "River View Family Suite," with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The roaring river was right below our third-floor suite with a balcony, making for wonderful white noise at night. The breakfast buffet is not cheap ($17.95 per adult) but high-quality. We had pizza one night and it was delicious. Note: the housekeeping service will make the beds and freshen towels, but not clean up kitchen dishes. There is dish detergent and a sponge so you can do it yourself. Also, we had virtually no cell service for our AT&T phones, though my daughter could get "one bar" on her Verizon phone. Oddly, there was decent cell service inside the restaurant. Read less

We got a king room with a river view. Yes there was a river right there. So loud you couldn’t keep the slider open. Ok that’s Mother Nature she wins. We could even hear boulders crashing jj once and awhile. Room is large enough,dark, and stuffy. We turn on the in room AC and it works like a champ. Ok it looks like a low rent room for $318 a night. Huge jacuzzi tub right in the middle of the room. A nice touch. We didn’t use it. The walk In double headed shower was nice but it almost flowed on to the ground after a very short shower. Another romantic touch. Little fridge. Little cook area with stuff to cook light meals with. For the comfort of the bed I should have given them a 2. How much did those huge tubs cost to put in the room? I think it would be better for a sleeping establishment to go crazy and buy comfortable beds with nice linen. Squishy pillows. 3 weren’t enough they were so soft. Again it’s in a beautiful place and they have you. Some advice bring your own cooler with food. There is no restaurant coverage between 11 am and 530. I asked and was told to go to Mariposa 45 minutes away for lunch or go in to the park to eat. With the other 100,000 people there that day, I think the park was out of question. I will look for a different place to stay next time. Our backs are barking fro that bed! Read less
