Mariposa Grove Tours

Conveniently located near Yosemite’s south entrance in Fish Camp, this rustic yet cozy hotel offers easy access to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias and peaceful forest- or mountain-view rooms. My forest-view room made it easy to reconnect with nature as I listened to the nighttime sounds from its patio. The room and bathroom were spacious, although the shower stall was quite small and seemed to meet only the minimum size requirements. Compared with the crowded, pricey hotels inside the park in Yosemite Valley, this felt like a true hidden gem. After a tiring hike, a great meal at the on-site restaurant was especially welcome, and both the front desk and restaurant staff were very hospitable.
