Tenaya Lodge

Amazing experience!! Hotel was clean, staff was friendly, and they let you make endless free s’mores! Great trip 👏🙌

We keep coming back to Tenaya Lodge every year. It's such an amazing resort with so many different amenities for every age and taste. Their food is delicious and activities are fun. Rooms are clean and you can feel nature at every corner.

A wonderful stay with many amenities you can look forward to, we enjoyed the jacuzzi hot tub as it was really cold outside (we’re really up high!). The heater in the room is good too, and we had everything we needed!

We stayed here because of its proximity to Yosemite. It was nice being 5-7 mins from the entrance to the park. We stayed in a cottage next to the pizzeria. Had more than a few spiders in our cottage which sort of freaked out the kids but I dispatched of them all as discreetly as possible and never saw any more. The room itself was not anything to write home about, but I can appreciate a nice bed and nice pillows. Ours had a high ceiling which I liked. There was a gas fireplace which would provide plenty of heat if we had needed any. Some of the property was under construction so we did not have access to all the amenities but the pool area was very nice with a full bar next to it. The restaurant was good, and they had a game room (not an arcade) that is more than sufficient to entertain your kids for a at least 15 mins. They have a lot to do there, like archery lessons, but we simply didn’t have the time. If you are planning a vacation to Yosemite but don’t exactly want to stay in the park itself, this is a terrific resort-feel within shouting distance of the Fish Camp entrance. 

The food at Jackalope was excellent. I had the rib-eye steak and it was perfectly cooked. My husband had the short ribs and they were absolutely amazing. Definitely 5-stars for the food and service. Although it was just my husband and me, I liked that they had a kiddie pool. All I could think of was my grandchildren enjoying playing in it all day. They also have three adult pools and jacuzzi. My only complaint is that we ran out of towels poolside. The facilities were clean and inviting. This was our first time staying at a hotel/lodge since COVID, so we discovered at Tenaya room cleaning is not automatic. If you want your room cleaned you have to schedule it 24-hours in advance. Read the fine print. Overall, it a great place to stay for visiting Yosemite.

Had a great time here at Tenaya! It was our first time here and everything was great and we will definitely come back again :)
