I recently stayed at the Yosemite Cedar Lodge with my family, and it was a great base for our Yosemite adventure! The lodge is located near the Merced River and offers beautiful views. The rooms were spacious, and we appreciated the mini-fridge and coffeemaker. The outdoor pool was a hidden gem, and the picnic area was perfect for a family dinner. The staff were friendly, and the restaurant on site served decent food.
