Beautiful hotel in a scenic setting
Amazing stay at Rush Creek, everything met and exceeded our expectations at this hotel. Very comfortable and quiet rooms, stunning facilities with heated pools, hot tubs and recreation areas available. We did some hiking in Yosemite and it was only a few minutes drive into the park in the morning and 40min drive to Yosemite village. We would highly recommend with no downsides found at all.

This is a beautiful piece of property. About 1 mile from the entrance to Yosemite. The grounds and lodge are well cared for, the staff was very nice and pleasant. The spa was awesome! Collette did a wonderful massage and you can even hang out and use the facilities for the day. Would stay again!

Yosemite Gem
Loved this resort!! Design and function all well planned. Rooms were spacious and comfortable with plenty of storage. Had a fridge, safe and microwave in room. No TV but great wi-fi and Alexa provided. Great veranda overlooking the heated pool, two hot tubs (which we loved) and property. Did not utilize the spa services but I’m sure those are top notch as well. Fantastic restaurant and bar serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Beautiful buildings and property. Two minutes to Yosemite 120 entrance and about 30 minutes into Yosemite Valley. Great getaway for couples or families with lots of activities (paid and free), including a huge playroom next to the pool area. Board games, billiards, fuse ball, shuffleboard and a climbing feature. Will definitely come again.
