Top Nature Center at Happy Isles Hotel Reviews

Cedar Lodge

8/10 Good

"A great location to Yosemite about a 20min drive to the entrance through the beautiful valley. The room itself was in good order, with plenty of facilities. TV was an issue and not working for the first night. Bar was open for food and was adequate for our needs. We ate there 2 nights the second night was a rowdy one as it was full of bikers! No trouble kind just a contrast front eh previous night! Would I stay again absolutely yeah!"

Tenaya at Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was excellent. We visited during the off-season, so it was hardly crowded. The amenities and extras included with the room were impressive to enjoy, such as archery. The food was outstanding. We upgraded to the garden room, which was remarkable. The staff were genuinely helpful. We were quite close to the Yosemite gate; I would recommend it 10/10."

Storybook Chalet inside Yosemite National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Eric was very responsive from the minute we started the booking process. The house was clean and stocked with all the essentials ! Beds were comfy and the hot tub and pool table were a plus! So happy we stayed inside Yosemite as it is a hike to all the sites, and well worth it. Would highly recommend this house."

Indian Flat RV Park - Tent Cabins & Cottages

8/10 Good

"We are on a cross country road trip and saw this RV park with a “heated cabin” just outside Yosemite. Sounded charming. It is primarily an RV/Safari tent venue. Our cabin was roomy and well stocked, but it was also drafty and quite cool …even with a heater. Wi-Fi worked for tablets and phones, but not computers. Not a big deal for just one night. We would have been more comfortable in the lodge next door….if we had known."

FALL SPECIAL Gorgeous Designer Cabin Inside Yosemite WITH LUXURIOUS Jacuzzi

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay with this spacious home in a good location with privacy, access to Wi-Fi, and lots of hot water. The kids loved the hot tub. Would give this place a 10/10 as The electricity went out and we had power the entire time due to a propane generator. Would stay here again."

Yosemite Valley Lodge

8/10 Good

"It was nice staying IN the park. Keeping in mind that’s a national park and not a luxury resort I expected less in that respect. The room had cobwebs which is okay but the bathroom smelled of urine, not okay. The shower curtain was about 6-8 inches too long and had a terrible odor to it. The front desk staff just seemed tired and worn out. Not as helpful as they could’ve been. The sports bar/lounge was nice with friendly wait staff. But the beauty of being in such an amazing place seemed to outweigh all the negative. Definitely worth staying there but you need to plan WAY in advance for reservations. I made ours 5 months ago and was told at that time that it was the last available."

🌄 Luxe A-Frame Panoramic View Yosemite West Cabin - NEW AC and EV Charger🌄

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay when visiting the Yosemite Valley. About a 20 minute drive to the village. Comfortable lodging, including bears outside! (O: Host(s) were excellent and accommodating. Great living room area to hang with your family."
