"Not a lot of options here, but the Majestic is grossly overpriced so the Lodge is your only option for a traditional hotel experience. Staff is hit or miss - some were great, some were very disinterested. Restaurant was decent but again, great busboy, lousy waitress. Rooms are comfortable but nothing special. Location is excellent for access to Valley activities."

"Serene cabin with a balcony in the woods. Enjoyed our morning coffee with the view and sounds of nature. The room was clean with a super comfortable bed, mini fridge, coffee maker and a fireplace. The main hotel was not too far and had beautifully maintained grounds. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The deli/coffee shop had great coffee and ample choices of snacks and breakfast items to go! After a long day of hiking I wish the sauna was open till later! Did not get to use!"
Inside Yosemite National Park near Wawona Village, California, USA. Sleeps 6.
10/10 Excellent
"We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. This was our first ever visit to Yosemite, and this was a perfect place to meet our needs. We brought our 18 and 20 yo kids with us, and we had plenty of room and lots to look at. We cooked almost all our meals in the well stocked kitchen and spent some time perusing all the collections. We truly felt like we were visiting family at their home. It was convenient to be inside the park and super close to the Mariposa Grove. It was generally an hour to Yosemite Valley or Glacier Point, which was a favorite spot! The property manager was very responsive to the few questions we had. I would absolutely stay here again if I return to Yosemite. Thank you!"
Charming Newer Cabin In Yosemite Sleeps 6 - Close To River and Pet Friendly
10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was an absolutely perfect choice and experience. It is inside the park so you can skip all the daily long lines in traffic to get in. We arrived at night and could just breeze right into the park. The location is a bit of a drive (50 min) from the valley but that alone is a beautiful drive through some of the most amazing forest areas. The kitchen was fully ready for any kind of meal prep and the deck was nice. Plenty of parking in front of the cabin. The host was gracious and provided all the necessary information to make the stay easy and fun. There is even a small general store a 2 minute walk from the cabin."
