Beautiful place, close to entrance of Yosemite, lots to do for the kids, family friendly, very busy at the pool- tons of kids (noisy, loud) difficult to get seating, great “store” with coffee, convenience items that are great options if you need.

Rush Creek is a wonderful property - close to Yosemite's entrance, family friendly, activities on property (stargazing was wonderful, free smores every night were a hit, family sauna was a great concept), etc. Only downside is housekeeping/service were a bit slow given it was busy time of the year but totally understand.

Almost everything about this resort is perfect. Our room was spacious, clean and well thought out. The pool was great - not too crowded even the property seemed completely full. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Tons of activities for kids of all ages.
Most surprising of all - the food at the restaurant was very good - which is unusual for resorts :)
Overall, a great place to come with a family.

It was a great place nice and close to Yosemite. The restaurant was convenient and the meals were really good, especially the breakfast. A pool for 16+ only would make Rush Creek perfect.

Rush Creek Lodge offers clean, comfortable rooms set in beautiful natural surroundings, with friendly staff and good service that make you feel welcome. The location is perfect for exploring Yosemite, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Unfortunately, the gym is a disappointment - tiny, poorly equipped, and not up to the same standard as the rest of the hotel.

Convenient to Yosemite, just 3 miles outside entrance. Great dining options onsite. We ate at the hotel all 3 nights. Pool area and game room had a great atmosphere and the fire places were all around the grounds at night. Really cozy place to hang with family or just your spouse!

This lodge is beautiful, family friendly, clean, and close to Yosemite’s entrance. It was the perfect stay. The staff were wonderful. I gave it a 4 because it is a bit pricey. I recommend their outdoor BBQ by the pool, that is all you and eat, it was delicious and the price was right. Thank you!
