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.

Great Location! Great Staff! Great Stay!

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.

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.

Tooth Inn

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

A perfect turn off Hwy.41

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!

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.

Good but not great

My boyfriend and I stayed at Houndstooth Inn while we were traveling to Yosemite. Overall, our experience was good, but I wouldn’t say it was great. The water pressure in our room was very low. So low that I didn’t even bother trying to wash my hair the 3 nights we stayed there. The breakfast was okay, but the eggs seemed like they were over the powder variety instead of fresh. The staff was very kind and accommodating. We appreciated the quaintness of Houndstooth Inn. They also have a variety of games that you can use during your stay. We would consider staying at Houndstooth Inn again but would probably explore other options first.
