Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property out in the mountains! Our room was nice and clean upon arrival. We had a little trouble figuring out the heater system but staff was very helpful able to help us right away so we wouldn't freeze in our room. It was also a nice surprise to find this place has a charger for electric vehicles and being able to utilize it during our stay. Keep in mind there is only one charger available. I would love to come back in the future when my child is a little older to enjoy more of this beautiful property! Thank you for accommodating my little family!"
