Narrow Gauge Inn

Narrow Gauge Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The property grounds are absolutely adorable and very clean. Our room had a balcony, big balcony, with very nice comfortable outdoor furniture. The room was clean and spacious with all amenities you could possibly want. Nice big bar; they need to hire a full time bartender instead of having the waitresses be the bartenders but the entire staff were top notch. The host greeting us at check in, the waitresses and bartenders. The location is located right between Bass Lake and Yosemite making it a nice quiet enjoyable hotel without all the crowds. There is a Sugar Pine Train Station a few steps away that offers daily & nightly rides into the mountains. A true find for a mountain getaway."

AutoCamp Yosemite

AutoCamp Yosemite

10/10 Excellent
"This was our first AutoCamp stay… and it won’t be our last. The price is a splurge for us but to date, it is by far our favorite stay on our two week trip - 10 different lodgings. Bre checked us in and showed us our tent. She was absolutely fabulous… like we were genuinely sad she had to work and couldn’t just hangout with us. The adventure tent is just enough outdoors without the having hard part of camping. The bed was to die for… we had a king-size bed. We ate pizza from the kitchen, bought/drank a bottle of wine, and listened to live music. We thought the music was superb. The store is small but extremely well stocked. We bought a s’mores kit and made smores over a fire after dinner. The restrooms are separate, but very close, air conditioned, and well-lit at night."
