Top Tuolumne County Museum Hotel Reviews

Heritage Inn Yosemite/Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"Would recommend this to others"

Hotel Lumberjack

10/10 Excellent

"Best value for the money"

The Inn on Knowles Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing decor, incredible comfortable bed. The staff is attentive and friendly. But best of all is the incredible delicious breakfast cooked by the proprietor. Not enough words express how delicious and beautifully prepared and presented it all was. Highly recommended."

Beautiful Updated Home in Downtown Sonora

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great house. Exactly as described, clean, spacious with a beautiful backyard. Host was very nice and responsive to questions we asked ahead of time. The house was perfect for our needs."

Historic Home in Downtown Sonora!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic place to stay if you are visiting the Sonora area. Pros: - Location: right on Sonora's main drag (at the upper end); it's about a half mile walk downhill to the furthest downtown thing. - Space: This is a conversion of a pair of 2-1.5 apartments - the space is huge!- Water Pressure: Unusual for a house of this vintage to have great water pressure, but this one did. - My boys loved the Larger than usual bunk beds - Host: fantastic friendly host who made sure to let us know that if we needed- Four (!) separate A/C controls - I'm sure this is clutch in the summertime when it's hot in Sonora.Cons: - Location: Highway 49 [Sonora's Main Drag] is busier than we expected, and vehicles traveling it were louder than expected - this may not be a great spot for light sleepers or "early to bed" types. - As a side sleeper, King Bed was a little firmer than I like.Other notes: - Layout is quirky, with two staircases heading to the top floor. There is a pass-thru from side to side on the upper floor, but you have to also pass thru bedrooms to use it. Verdict: This is a fun place to stay if you're in the area, which makes it feel like you're a part of the downtown. We'd stay here again if we are re-visiting the area."
