We enjoyed our stay here. The room was very clean and comfortable. Perfect stop before or after visiting Yosemite. It was also nice having a restaurant on site, with very good food and service. Would definitely stay again.

This is our favorite spot to stay outside of Yosemite Park. We stay in one of the 2 cabins. Seasonally the restaurant attached to the hotel has good food and friendly service. There are chargers for ev cars on the property provided by Electrify America.

Great little lodge just outside of Yosemite. I stayed here for a night after a 4 day backpacking trip and it was the perfect spot to rest and recover. The onsite laundry facility and restaurant make it a great home base for exploring the park.

Great place to lay your head down after a day at Yosemite. Great diner on property! We got the king cabin and it felt like we were the only ones there (the way we like it).

Buck Meadows staff was amazing! The cleanliness of the property and the rooms were also amazing! My only issue that is preventing me from staying here again, was the BED. The bed in room 605 was so hard, we tossed and turned all night and was really sore in my back, shoulders and neck. Due to this we didn't get a goodnight of sleep our whole stay. If they have more comfortable beds I would definitely consider staying at Buck Meadows in the future.

Well worth the money!
Though the room we had was behind the restaurant, we still had a good view of the mountains around it. It was less than 20 minutes from the west entrance to Yosemite. It was cozy and clean, and the best room we’ve had on our two week travels. Would totally book with them again!

The property was great! Parking is right by lodging so easy to traverse with my mom who has a hard time walking every now and then. Pool and hot tub were a plus. Spacious room to relax after a long day. Staff was sweet and accommodating. 10/10!

Check in was at a neighboring hotel, which was a bit confusing.
The room was recently renovated. But the bed was horrific - mattress was rock hard and pillows were completely flat and stiff.
Otherwise, it was a fine place to stay outside Yosemite.

My family planned to visit the Yosemite National Park over the weekend. Buck Meadows Lodge was a close enough drive to the entrance of the park. The front desk was very understanding and welcoming which was very helpful for our questions about the local area.

The room was very small and adjacent to a driveway to other rooms. The air conditioner made a lot of noise when we turned on the heater. Too much noise to even sleep. There was no continental breakfast. Won't stay there again
