It was very spacious, with lots of activities to do. The staff was really nice & helpful. The surroundings were beautiful, with natural scenic & nature! Right next to Yosemite National Park. Quite close to the valley floor.

You have to tick if you wanted house keeping or not. For the price you pay house keeping should be compulsory, regardless of the option. Not just having the beds made up! No televisions in the rooms. Buffet breakfast was very standard for the price. The laundry room silver machines, would take your quarters if you change options of heat on the buttons & not return your money!

Lovely atmosphere very close to the park. We had one two bed villa which worked perfectly for us and our teenage daughter. We had a balcony that we could sit on in the evening which we really liked. Are in the restaurant both notes and the food was really good and the staff very friendly. Lots of activities available including s’mores by the campfire. We did one of their organised tours which was an excellent way to see Yosemite. They also had a fantastic general store providing breakfast and lunch things if you didn’t want to eat in the restaurant. Plus lots of other great stuff. Would definitely recommend for a stay at Yosemite.

The only negative thing I would say was that we were on the ground floor of the villa and we had a family upstairs with young children. You could hear every single footstep and noise. But I think that is just one of those things to be honest.

Luxurious experience before and after a busy day of Yosemite hiking just outside the park entrance. Outside jacuzzi in combination with pool Villas having sufficient space to relax and all windows with insect screen.

Despite having asked repeatedly and very clearly for flat bread with no bacon, we get a flat bread with bacon in the restaurant. Then being chased down like a criminal for charging to my room however because the reception switched my room they did not process it. The small shop is great but do watch out for some extreme prices ( like a coffee cake of 8$ before tax)

We really appreciated the proximity to Yosemite, it felt like it was right on your doorstep. The lodge is great with lots to do for toddlers/kids. The room was spacious and the views from the balcony were really special.

We were very disappointed by the quality of the food at the restaurant. As vegetarians, there were limited options and they cost just as much as the meat dishes. There really aren't any alternatives in the area which means that they can charge what they want. But I would definitely look to bring more of our own food if we were to visit again.

The property was kept beautifully; many areas could have been a post card! The rec games available (foosball, pool, tabletop shuffle board, corn hole, bocce ball, etc) were in excellent condition. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all parts of the property. We loved being able to take a Yosemite tour that left from the property - it meant no driving for us and our guide was fantastic. The food was pricey but the portions were excellent and every dish we had there for the 3 days was delicious; even the pre-made sandwiches we got at the general store were very good! We went on our tour with a woman who had been at Rush Creek with her family as a teen back in 2017, and she was so excited to return with her husband. I could see our teens saying the same thing in the future!

At first I was disappointed that there wasn't a tv in the room, but after 1 day there, we didn't miss the tv. We played so many of the games as a family, hiked the trails on the property, and enjoyed Yosemite. The only thing I could suggest improving is offering 2 marshmallows per s'more rather than 1 in the bags they prepare for the nightly s'mores time. Everything else was INCREDIBLE!

Nice resort close to the west gate of Yosemite. It was nice having high-speed EV charging on site and the adults-only spa day pass was a good option to get away from the crowds. Pool and Hottub was open 24 hours as well.

Quite crowded on the Juneteenth weekend, with no room at the pool in the afternoon. Food orders took a long time to get fulfilled. Staff wasn't knowledgeable when asking questions about park entrance fees and times. A little strange that there are no TVs in the room.

Restaurant and food are excellent, both dinner and breakfast. Vegetarian options are good enough. Just the food a bit pricey but at a location like that, it's expected. Room was large and clean and stylish, we loved it but the mattress of the bed and the sofa bed just sucked. Not only they were squishy and uncomfortable but so noisy when you turn your body in the beds or getting up from the bed! They should have really getting some better mattress for price like this.

Rush Creek Lodge exceeded my expectations. We originally planned on staying 2 nights, then when we arrive, we liked it so much we extended our stay an additional two nights. The attention to detail in the design, materials, layout, quality of the furnishings/amenities, are all so nice. I appreciate all the natural materials used, like pine doors, coffee table, chairs with woven cushions/leather. Every feels and looks very designer here - it's delightful every direction you turn. The architecture and design really makes the experience of the whole property feel wonderful. The amenities - they have their own signature line of toiletries with a fragrance of pine and eucalyptus, great size fridge for the room that's quiet, their own signature coffee pods provided for the room as well as Twilling teas (English Breakfast and herbal), great water pressure in the shower, and everything is clean and looks well kept. The restaurant impressed me with their more interesting plates, we got the Korean BBQ short ribs and Thai curry with chicken added to it. Was really tasty - hard to find good ethnic food when camping. Loads of really great snacks and foods to buy in the general store. Feels like a mini Whole Foods. The staff are friendly and nice throughout the property. The spa is a really great addition if you have time to use it, go and treat yourself. The atmosphere is wonderful.

Very friendly and helpful staff all around. Tours and tour guides Taylor and James were amazing. The little snack shop was good. The spa and Hikers Delight massage with Jasmine were outstanding. Proximity to the park couldn’t be better.

Adult only pool would be a nice addition or at least enforce the adults only hot tub rule. The property is geared for families, which is fine but I didn’t realize that-might have booked for a time when school is in session. Villa needs AC in the back bedroom.

Staff were exceptional - helpful, courteous, always wanting to make our stay better. Very clean and tidy facility. Our room was very nice, beds comfortable and large bathroom with nice amenities.

Compared with the many resorts we've stayed at, the price for what we received was overpriced. The restaurant was overpriced. The general store onsite was overpriced. The fitness center was the biggest disappointment.... Dirty (the floor had not been swept our entire stay), no exercise floor mats, no towels on our second day, no cups for the water, no bench to do any free weight or dumbbell training, and the smell of the room was bad.... No air freshener.
