The hotel

In a hillside woodland setting close to the entrance to Yosemite National Park, Rush Creek Lodge offers warm, friendly service and a wealth of activities. You can hire a bike, enjoy a yoga class, relax by the pool or play a game of bumper pool! Enjoy the fresh California cuisine at the lodge’s two restaurants — both with al fresco seating for the warmer days. Choose between the rustic yet stylish Restaurant with its wood-burning oven and open kitchen, or the more casual Tavern with its big screen TVs, signature cocktails and evening music. There's also daily activities, from wildlife talks and kids crafts to beer tasting - and the lodge's nightly tradition of complimentary s'mores by the fire pit.

Very comfortable and spacious room. The restaurant food was fine with several options. Resort store had everything you need as well. The pool/spa area was pretty crowded but overall it's nice to have it after a long day of hiking. The resort is very conveniently located as well and is very easy to get to Yosemite.

My wife and I went here for our 15 year anniversary and were blown away! All the staff were so friendly and made us feel like we were the most comfortable. The property is amazing, we didn’t even want to leave even given Yosemite right next door. We are saving money and we will indeed be back!!

3rd time we have stayed here. We got a room upgrade to a hillside 2 bedroom lodge on check-in as we were celebrating our silver anniversary, also a complimentary cocktail. Enjoyed the free Smores again and took some sunset pictures on the sunset deck. Good location to go to Yosemite. A bit pricey but worth it and would go back again.

Rush Creek Lodge has exceeded our expectations across the board. The staff have been incredibly warm, welcoming and professional. The resort itself is beautiful. Great villa, magnificent views, delicious food , and the best Spa I have experienced. And all of this just outside Yosemite park entrance. 100% returning here next year.

We have stayed at many lodges and hotels in the Parks area these two weeks and have found Rush Creek our favorite! Th rooms, pools, food, service, store, tours are all great! We’re thrilled to have stayed here. The close proximity to both areas of Yosemite was a big reason for choosing Rush Creek. So glad we did.
