Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite | Yosemite National Park, California | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Yosemite National Park, California

3 stars

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.

“Perfect Yosemite launch pad”

Sep 23, 2025Jim N

Quick, great stay. Staff was friendly and helpful, food delicious and swimming pool and hot tubs a refreshing break. Thank you!

“Villa is not ment for 4 to 6 adults”

Sep 22, 2025Foxy M

Villa says it sleeps 6. Based on description and punctuation, I expected 2 bedrooms and a sitting room. The “sitting room” was in second bedroom. We had 5 adults and it was just too small. I think it is meant for young families possibly. Food was great and facilities. I just felt bamboozled based on how much money I paid.

“Classy and rustic lodge setting right near entrance to Yosemite”

Sep 21, 2025Extraordinary813016

We stayed three nights at Rush Creek Lodge during our visit to the area and LOVED everything about it. The location was so close to the entrance to the park, one of the main reasons we decided to stay there. The facility is gorgeous and very family friendly, and we loved seeing all the kids and parents enjoying the time there with no stress. The pool and hot tub are so nice to have after a long day of enjoying nature. We really enjoyed the s'mores nights at the large fire pit, it was so much fun to see everyone sitting around together. The restaurant/lodge was nice, and we ate a few meals there and enjoyed our selections (and drinks). Since the rooms didn't have televisions, we were able to watch some big sporting events at the Tavern. The General Store had lots of food selections to grab and go as well, and I bought a very nice Yosemite shirt which I have worn several times already. The organized tours thru the lodge were great - we took two, the Wonders of Yosemite and the Upper Valley. Both tour guides (Ben and Billy) were fantastic, friendly and very knowledgable about the park and all the sites we visited. Please do yourself a favor and stay here during your visit to Yosemite. I'lll be recommending it to anyone I know traveling to the area.
