Very Welcoming, Hard to Find Bed and Breakfast
It's not a hotel. It's a bed and breakfast and the people who run it are really nice and service oriented. It very much has the feeling of staying over at Grandma's house. If that's not for you, then don't come here. Also, as anything near Yosemite is...it's not the easiest to find.

Given the drought restrictions, the overall property was well taken care of. The breakfast that was offered was surprisingly pleasing due to its quantity & variety (e.g., vegetarian and gluten-/wheat-free options).

The Inn was a B & B. I did not know this. It was very clean, decorated nicely and the hostess was very friendly. My only complaint is that it was very hard to find and didn't have great wi-fi.

Nice place but breakfast left a lot to be desired!
The owners were wonderful and warm people. Our room was large and comfortable. Our only complaint was the breakfast. We've been to many B&Bs over the years and have always had wonderful home cooked breakfasts. This one was a typical continental breakfast. Nothing was home cooked except the hard boiled eggs. Frozen waffles, pancakes and various pastries were offered. We paid a lot of money for our room and expected a better breakfast.

Hi Maria, We're glad that you like the room you have stayed. We have declared on the listing that our breakfast is Continental Breakfast as that is what our license allow us to do, but guests are allowed to do cooking if they like.

The written directions were much appreciated because of the remote location and lack of cell service. The WiFi was also greatly appreciated, as was the TV. We would have liked the ability to set the room temperature and found the scent of the host’s cooking to be a little too strong. Breakfast was ready early and was complete. The owners were very friendly and check-in/check-out went smoothly.

Nice & comfy Bed&Breakfast.
Marlyn and her husband are very nice and welcoming. The room was comfortable and clean and we really enjoyed out stay. The location is a bit far off from anywhere else (including eating places in case the local diner is closed). So for the shorter winter days when one tries to be back before nightfall (the mountain roads can be a tricky drive, best done in light), you will be spending more time back at the hotel, make sure you have something to keep yourself occupied. Another plus is that it is only ~40mins from Yosemite Lodge.

Thank you for choosing to stay w/ us. We work hard to make our guests stay comfy and memorable and informed them ahead of time to plan dinner ahead if they'd chosen to arrive after dark, as local diners closed early in winter time. We're glad you'd a wonderful time spent also in Yosemite Park. See you back in summer.

Awesome stay
We stayed in for a night at Yosemite Paradise Bed and Breakfast. It's a very pleasant stay. The room itself was very neat with loads of decorations that you wouldn't find in such places. We had a very clean and well organized private bathroom. The breakfast spread was great. We will stay here again. Larry and Merlyn are really awesome.They emailed directions to the stay since there wont be any mobile phone signal at the hill region. They were very friendly and accommodating.
HI Kumar, Thank you again for choosing to stay w/ us and left w/ new friends and wonderful memories in the mountains and Yosemite Park. Thanks you also for leaving the room as neat as it was. See you back someday. Happy new year! Marilyn & Larry

Great B&B, pretty and comfy
A great little B&B located convenient for the Yosemite National Park! It is like an hour away from the central area of the yosemite park. So like 30 minutes from the park entrance! The owners were so nice and even though we arrived quite late we got a warm welcome and even a quick tour through the B&B. The family is very friendly and we had a great conversation and they are very knowledgeable about the area. Sad we didn’t stay longer, but would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay near Yosemite! I stay in a lot of Hotels, never had one this clean and with that many features as here!

La Administradora muy amable y la habitacion muy limpia, sin embargo es un poco complicado dar con el Hotel, para empezar esta en medio de la nada y parece que no hay nada, nosotros llegamos por la noche y casi nos vamos antes de entrar.

山奥で携帯は圏外でしたがGoogleナビのGPSで迷わず到着出来ました。車で10分の所にあるスーパーで夕食を購入出来ました。フレッシュな野菜や果物、冷凍のピザ、パスタなど品揃えgood。宿でもカップヌードルや飲み物のはありました。到着するとすぐにマダムがお出迎えして下さり、お部屋にはそれぞれに出入口もあったのでプライベートロッジのようでした。 キッチンは自由に使えて夕食のお皿やカトラリーなど揃っていました。お部屋は清潔感あり、基本アメニティに加え、絆創膏や風邪薬なども置いてあり、本当に滞在しやすいロッジだと思いました。
