The staff at the property was extremely welcoming and it felt very homelike. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Would absolutely stay here again.
Cosy, comfortable and spacious B&B half an hour's drive from Yosemite southern gate - and 90 minutes from Yosemite Village, a much cheaper option than some park accomodation if not camping. Also minutes from Lake Bass and gourmet Elderberry House restaurant. Staff super knowledgeable and helpful with planning Yosemite visits.
This bed & breakfast is all you need. Tucked away in this beautiful surroundings. The charm with this place you don’t get anywhere else. The entire staff delivers excellence
We had a wonderful three days at the Hounds Tooth Inn. The facility had a great comfortable, low-key vibe. Tammy and Melinda were friendly and very helpful. And in addition to a great room, the breakfast was tasty, the evening wine tasting was enjoyable, and the location was very close to not only Yosemite, but Bass Lake and the cool Yosemite Jazz Train.
Great stay at Hounds tooth inn. We were greeted upon check in with wine and snacks. The room was nice and clean. Everything was very organized. Amazing breakfast with lots of options. About 20 minutes from the entrance of Yosemite National Park.
An excellent and quiet place. Staffs are kind and friendly. Beddings and baths are maintained cleanly. A couple of destination chargers are provided for guests who come with EVs.
The made to order hot breakfast was plenty fulfilling. It was a lot of food and I enjoyed it all. Thank you for an outstanding service and a memorable stay that we will remember forever. Beautiful and Classy. A must see.
We stayed at this boutique inn for two noughts while visiting Yosemite. It’s a real gem. Very helpful staff. Our room was a good size, clean and well maintained. Wine and snacks are served each evening. Breakfast was good. Conveniently located for Yosemite. Full marks all round.
The stay at the Tooth In was great overall great experience. Service was great food was great. The room was spotless when arrived. The only thing is that the hot tub that came with the room took hours to fill due to the pressure of the water being so low. Maybe some maintenance is needed to be done. Other then that I highly recommend staying here
We were in dire need of a place to stay at nighttime since we have two littles and were having car problems. I believe we had to pay $50 for a rollout bed which I think is a little ridiculous, but they were very accommodating otherwise.
The woman at the front desk was so kind, and in the morning had the handy-man come over to help us. He fixed our car issue which was a blessing, and the breakfast was delicious!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
comfortable, quiet,clean, and friendly service, I would give this B&B 6 stars but the well water was undrinkable and the pressure so low the shower just dribbled. They offered bottled water but didn't mention at check-in their water problem.
The picture of the room with our reservation link isn’t the room we received, but was still comfortable. The broken chair in the room should be replaced at this price point and there wasn’t a table in the room, so the only place to sit and read was on the bed. At this price point and for the size of the room, there should be a comfortable place place to sit and read with good lighting. Very friendly staff.
The property is very nice. I got the queen suite with a “jet” tub but unfortunately the tub did not have jets and the water pressure was so low that it took about 40 minutes to fill 1/3 of the way and by then the hot water ran out. We made the best of it and enjoyed it the best we could. The staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast served was okay which was served 7 to 9 am. It’s very peaceful there and although the tub was a bit of a disappointment we had a relaxing and peaceful weekend. The next time we want a quick and close to home getaway we will definitely revisit the Hounds Tooth Inn.
We booked a room to celebrate our anniversary. We were greeted by a very friendly lady who checked us in and told us that charging our EV was free to their guests. She then explained our three breakfast options of an omelette, eggs cooked to order or biscuits and gravy, each with sides of potatoes and sausages. Milk or orange juice were other choices.
The room (#3) was large with a king sized bed and a large jacuzzi tub in the room. The bathroom was also larger than average with a walk in shower that had 2 shower heads. The room was air conditioned and had a coffee maker and a refrigerator.
Unfortunately, we arrived late after spending a long day at Yosemite National Park, so we were not able to fully enjoy everything this property had to offer.
