Front desk staff were very pleasant jovial and understanding. The pool is heated one warm and very family friendly. The room we had has individual balcony and facing woods and forest with hiking trail. Restaurant is well served with excellent choice and staff were very cordial and whole resort is self contained and only 5 minutes from Yosemite entrance. We definitely come back and stay there

Very nice property with 24 hour pool and jacuzzi and snores every night. Thought the carpet looked old in our building and the mattresses could be better for 600 to 700 plus a night. Staff was amazing and very helpful and friendly. Will be going back for sure in the next few years.

Phenomenal stay at the immaculate Rush Creek Lodge. Everything about this place is a 10/10. Perfectly situated minutes outside of the northwest entrance to Yosemite makes it an ideal base setting for exploring the luminous Tioga Pass and Yosemite’s north country. My only suggestion would be for robes to be provided during the stay. Loved the pool, hot tubs, and restaurant as well. Will definitely return.

My family loved rush creek! The kids had so much fun after a day at Yosemite—they loved the rec room, pool, bonfires, and outdoor play area. We loved how close it was to the entrance of the park. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling with a family to Yosemite!

It’s a place that you don’t want to leave and when you leave you want to come back. It’s unique and relaxing from the dynamic of the world. No TVs in the property and on the end you actually appreciate that. The staff is friendly and helpful. Property is well maintained and they thought about everything.

This property and location is great. The amenities are cool for the whole family. It is clean and an amazing way to spend time in nature near Yosemite. The room itself we stayed in was great, but there were a number of issues with the power and maintenance that were a small annoyance (power going low or off several times an hour, balcony light and phone didn't work).

We were looking for an affordable, yet nice, place to stay during our 6 day vacation to Yosemite. Although camping is certainly fun, it wasn't what we wanted to do on this trip and most places were over an hour away. Only about 2 miles from entrance to Yosemite NP and about 40 minutes to Yosemite Valley so extremely convenient to ALL the trails. It was nice to come back to a clean room, nice restaurants, spa, pool, hot-tub, well stocked general store, recreation room, friendly/informative staff etc. I would highly recommend this resort and would certainly return in the future. (they also have a sister resort with horseback riding only 20 minutes away that we visited as well).
