The surroundings are great but staff isn’t accommodating. They placed me and my friends in a room where there’s no Mountain View when we clearly booked the one with a Mountain View. I even booked a two-bedroom for the next day and yet, staff didn’t upgrade.

Was there for 10 days visiting Yosemite and environs. Very friendly helpful staff. No microwave in room. Did have small refrigerator with very small freezer. My wife suggested buying and using an electric fry pan which saved gobs of money over restaurant eating, especially on breakfast ($20 per person buffet at nearby restaurant), even with substantially higher tourist grocery prices. Room was otherwise comfortable and clean. They brought over trash bags and picked up trash on call. There was a microwave in the office, which we used to warm coffee.

The room walls have this rust brownish/orange color running down from the walls in certain areas. The Murphy pull out bed is ok, it sits on two small legs. So if you weigh over 250lbs, be careful

The location of the lodge is very good. We like the spacious bathroom. The improvement is they now provide free wifi which was not included. The most disappointing thing is the bedsheets were terribly worn out and looked dirty. The bath towers had dark dirty spot of about quarter size. With the price of nearly 150 dollars per night the guests deserve cleaner and newer sheets.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Cedar Lodge near Yosemite! I visited with family and friends, and it was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful national park. The lodge itself is cozy and well-kept, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with recommendations or assistance. The amenities were great, and we loved being able to unwind by the hot water pool after a day of hiking. A bonus for Tesla owners: there’s a Tesla Supercharger station only about 6 miles away, which made it super convenient to keep our car charged for all our daily adventures. The location is unbeatable – so close to Yosemite, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Highly recommend Cedar Lodge for anyone planning a Yosemite trip!

A base for exploring Yosemite. The rooms weren’t serviced every day which wasn’t a big deal but having to trek to reception for tea bags on a regular basis was a bind. There was a neighbouring restaurant but we didn’t fancy it. Sandwiches from the park sufficed.
