“So much more than we expected!”

Our family of 4 stayed here one night before heading into Yosemite. It was such a great experience - we would like to go back and stay longer. We had booked a "one room family cabin" but it actually had 2 bedrooms separated by sliding "barn"doors from a central sitting area. The cabin came equipped with games, books, and a Sirius satellite radio. It also had a little frig and a coffee/tea maker. We had a lovely little porch with 2 chairs. The location is beautiful - just outside of the HetchyHetchy entrance of YNP. Probably lots of good hiking but we didn't have time for that. There is a very nice restaurant and cozy tavern. Our kids loved the rec room with shuffleboard, foos ball, ping pong and pool. Also a lovely lounge hall with a nice fireplace where they had smores at night. Internet access was in the lounge hall and rec room. I just can't say enough good things and the kids loved it!

“Perfect base for exploring Yosemite National Park”

Spent four nights here in early May 2011 as part of our honeymoon. We were more than satisfied with our Vintage Cabin, which was advertised as the most basic. All staff were outstanding. Food in the bar/restaurant was of an excellent quality, the bar staff worked very, very hard and the live entertainment was great. Maintainence were exceptionally fast to respond to a problem with our heater and fixed it straightaway. When we had snow overnight the roads throughout the complex were ploughed and cleared very quickly indeed. It takes approx. 60 mins to drive to Yosemite Valley/Village but the benefits of being just outside the park (i.e. price) and the facilities at the Evergreen Lodge far outweigh the longer drive into the valley. We had an amazing time at the Evergreen Lodge and we recommend it highly. Lauren and Chris, Retford, Notts., England.

“Amazing!”

We loved this hotel! The location was great and the food was very high quality. This hotel really went the extra mile in providing guided tours and evening entertainment

“A real gem”

I loved it. No TV or internet available in the room. Cozy and comfortable. I hope to go back again soon.

“Fantastic stay.”

Had a fantastic stay at Evergreen Lodge.Appreciated the range of accommodation to cater for different nos. guests - we were able to have a cabin that had plenty of room for our family of five, instead of needing the usual 2 hotel rooms Our kids enjoyed the rec room with pool, table tennis and internet access and we liked the other facilities- outdoor sitting areas, shop and availability of park information. All loved the great food in restaurant! Staff were welcoming and helpful- arrived cold and tired first evening but immediately served a fantastic meal in restaurant by friendly staff. 20 min. drive to Yosemite National Park so great location. Would definitely recommend for your Yosemite visit!

“Amazing food, wine and company”

Really surprised at the quality of the food and the wine selection. We got snowed in and had a blast working our way through the menu and the reds and playing games in front of the fire.

“A beautiful place to stay near Yosemite”

Though the lodge is listed in Groveland, it is about 30 miles away and far back into the woods, on the same road as the Hetch Hetchy Yosemite National Park entrance. The lodge is an approx. 35 mile beautiful drive to the Yosemite valley. The lodge has a wide assortment of activities on site including an excellent restaurant, bar and general store. My room did not include a TV, but Sirius satellite radio was available. The location is VERY quiet and rustic - perfect for anyone wanting to get away from it all. The drive up to the lodge after dark is gorgeous. Low lighting on the cottages and roads that wind through the village. With some snow on the ground it made for a dramatic view. The staff was excellent and attentive, even using plastic/magnets to cover my car door window when I forgot to put it up on the night of a rain storm (they did not register car license plates on check in so might not have known which cottage it belonged to). It was a wonderful trip to Yosemite and the Evergreen Lodge contributed greatly to it. Will definitely consider it if I get back to Yosemite again!

“Forest stay”

Evergreen lodge is set in the forest and very comfortable cabins. The restaurant is well run with excellent menus. Just outside the park boundary so a little drive each day.

“Great place to start your Yosemite visit”

Location is about 5 miles off the main road, don't turn back it's a beautiful place. Cabins are nice, some are newer, ask if you want more or less rustic. Thoughtful placement of games, satalitte radio, granola bars, books, etc. Cabins have porch chairs. Lodge has many aminities, you could stay and never run out of things to do. Nice Tavern and Restaurant. Food is good but prices a bit steep. Numerous fireplaces and smores at 6:30! The front desk, restaurant, and grounds staff are all friendly and helpful. If cost is not an issue eat your meals at the restaurant. The prepared food at the General store was low quality and the store staff a bit odd so bring picnic foods in with you for day trips into Yosemite. My Family and I will visit again.

“We were disappointed”

Had we known they were having a wedding there on Saturday that went until 10:00p.m. and later, we probably wouldn't have stayed there. They had dancing and very LOUD rock music playing and it ruined the place for us. It was a beautiful setting and should have been quiet so we could enjoy it. Even if they had played the music a little softer it would have been better. Another thing that bothered us was that we couldn't cook any food in our cabin or outside of the cabin. They had sandwiches we could buy to take with us and we did buy a sandwich, but it was rather stale. They would only give us a small baggie of ice or we could buy a large bag of ice, which was too big. The prices at the restaurant were rather high. The cabin itself was very expensive for what we got.
