This is our second stay - it’s a very convenient location to the Valley. Rooms are condo and all rooms have a balcony overlooking the river…so peaceful (we left our window open and loved listening to the flowing Merced). The staff are very nice and we will always come back here!

Room overlooked a running stream - beautiful and peaceful. Staff was super nice and helpful. Lodge was suitably located for things we wanted to do. Food at the restaurant was terrible. Chose to eat pizza for three meals in a row, presuming they couldn't mess that up. Happy to have the small kitchenette to warm up leftover pizza for lunch. Small grocery store was very helpful for snack options. Cleaned two wads of hair out of our tub before we used it. If that wasn't cleaned, what else wasn't cleaned? Other than that, the room was "fine". Overall, it was okay, but I wouldn't choose to stay there again. If you do choose to stay there, plan accordingly and bring groceries and cleaning wipes for a quick touchup.
View from our balcony. Beautiful and serene!

Overall enjoyed our stay. The little kitchenette was a plus. Laundry facilities were good. We were facing the road so a little extra noise, but not bad. Our biggest problem was the almost transparent curtains that let in a lot of light.

We stayed in a double queen room with a river front view, and I highly recommend staying in a room with that view. The room was spacious, clean and had a little kitchenette and a balcony right on the river, with a stunning view. There are several pools and hot tubs on the property and a large game room. There are two restaurants on site. Both are only open for dinner, but there is a market in the lobby that has some options for food as well. Would definitely stay again in the riverfront room. Housekeeping also did a great job cleaning our room although you do have to request it. Great property a few miles from Yosemite national park entrance.
