We stayed for two nights. There were no shampoo or conditioner. Also, they do not provide daily service, so if you need more toilet paper, coffee, cups, etc. you must request it. We just walked to the office and asked for what we needed. The key didn’t work in the deadbolt! Also, the peep hole was just a hole in the door! 2nd night we ate at the restaurant, I had wedge salad with salmon on the side. It was delicious. I probably won’t stay there again, but I definitely would eat there.

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!!

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.
