"Relaxing and convenient to two Yosemite entrances (El Portal and Mariposa Grove). Six rooms in three separate buildings. Private deck area for each room. Modern bathrooms and great AC/heat. Satisfying breakfast. Quiet rural location. Highly recommend! "

"Great place in the heart of Mariposa, walking distance to coffee, restaurants, supermarket, bars. Clean, quiet comfortable setting, friendly helpful staff, a winner!"
"Rush Creek Lodge offers clean, comfortable rooms set in beautiful natural surroundings, with friendly staff and good service that make you feel welcome. The location is perfect for exploring Yosemite, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Unfortunately, the gym is a disappointment - tiny, poorly equipped, and not up to the same standard as the rest of the hotel."
"We had such an amazing time at Wildhaven! The tents were spacious, clean, and super comfortable—even better than we expected. Waking up to mountain views and birdsong felt surreal. We especially appreciated the little touches like the cozy beds, warm showers, and fire pits that made the whole experience feel both close to nature and still very comfortable.
The location was perfect—close enough to explore Yosemite during the day but tucked away enough to enjoy peaceful, quiet evenings under the stars. The staff was friendly and helpful, and check-in was easy. We originally booked a tent but ended up upgrading to a cabin because of the heat, and we’re so glad we did. It was the perfect mix of rustic and comfortable.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing Yosemite experience. We’d definitely come back!"
"Staff was welcoming. Free upgrade from tent to airstream which was super exciting!! Beautiful property. Lobby was neat! Had indoor and outdoor game options. Pool area was nice! "
