Evergreen Lodge at Yosemite

Great experience including a wonderful...

Liked: Rustic charm, great service, close to Yosemite
Disliked: Access via a bumpy road

Exceptional

Liked: Evergreen Lodge vastly exceeded expectations in every way. The grounds and facilities are spectacular. The staff without exception were friendly, helpful and always pleasant which went a long way to making our stay as good as it was. We made good use of the games, evening fires, restaurant and pool side BBQs. We can only hope to one day return to this incredible place. For us the location was perfect as it was remote in a magical setting but an hours drive (Hetch Hetchy very close by car) from incredible hikes through wonderful scenery. Thankyou to everyone who helped us during our stay.
Disliked: That we had to leave after 5 days - seriously wanted to stay a few more weeks!

Perfect base for Yosemite

Liked: Nicely located 15 mins from Park gate, beautiful forest setting, authentic wood cabins, well equipped, good bar and restaurant and excellent General Store.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked the quiet location in...

Liked: Great location close to Yosemite. Day tour with Tyler great and extremely informative. Breakfast and dinner at restaurant was good.
Disliked: Attended the BBQ event at pool on 1st night. All food was luke warm at best and the BBQ was very tough. Should have just had dinner at restaurant.

Superb

Liked: Pool hot tub.
Disliked: The road to get there.

Great welcome In lovely location

Liked: We loved the facilities, particularly the restaurant where we had great food looking out over the forest. The room was a good size and the team lovely. We enjoyed being so close to the Hetch Hetchy Gate and 30 minutes from the Big Oak Flat entrance.
Disliked: As with all Yosemite accommodation, the cost is higher than elsewhere for more basic accommodation (we had a vintage cabin so of course you can upgrade). Also it is family oriented, so lots of children eg in the pool which meant as an adult party we used those less. Also use lots of insect repellent, we did not use enough in the evening!

Secluded comfortable stay amongst nature

Liked: Secluded accommodation for visiting Yosemite. Loved being slightly outside of the national park as it felt like our own private part of the park. Having a bed in a tent was special as we felt like we were camping but with comfort. Loved listening to nature around us and seeing the stars from our bed.

Use earplugs and don’t try...

Liked: Good location for the far end of Yosemite. Facilities were clean and well maintained.
Disliked: Stayed in a glamping tent which was pretty good compared to normal camping. Tents were a bit close together and the one we had was very close to the bear food bins. The downside to that is they were really quite squeaky when opened or closed. Bed was fine for a night but I found it a bit hard so would have maybe suffered for longer. But I’m a side sleeper so maybe it was that.
