Narrow Gauge Inn

Spent a comfortable night at this authentically rustic lodge just outside Yosemite's South Gate (Hwy 41). Highly recommend the Aroma Tavern Restaurant. The food was delicious, very generous serving sizes and a wonderful menu that made it hard to decide. We enjoyed carrot ginger soup, calamari (small bites plate piled high with so much deliciousness), winter apple salad loaded with the good stuff, and homemade chicken pot pie. All were great choices. Next time I'll try the short ribs. To top it off, the service was exceptional and we loved our delightful server Jai. She was so attentive and fun to talk to. Don't drive by without stopping and staying!

We stayed here for a friend's wedding just up the road, and it was okay. The pictures online made it seem more up-to-date than it really was. I called a week ahead to ensure I could check in early since I was in the bridal party. They said no problem. My husband and I got there about 2 hours prior to check in (check-in is at 3pm) and the room wasn't ready until 2:50pm. We may as well have just shown up at the regular time. They did our paperwork early but we couldn't even get in the room until pretty much at check-in. So don't expect an early check in, if you ask for one. The room was okay, it was really dark and poorly lit. There were burn marks and stains on the mattress, which was disconcerting. For the price of the room, we expected something a little more clean and current. Everything kind of seemed like it was 20-30+ years old. "okay" for the location, but that's about all the place has going for it unfortunately.

We have been staying at this Inn for years! The property is nice and feels secluded. It's always quite and feels so relaxing...Our favorite room is #40 - it's on the corner next to a little creek and we just love it. If you frequently stay here, call to make reservations instead of doing it online. You may get a better rate! Rates are usually good regardless though! The room is comfortable, clean, and just enough space for a couple. It's got a great cabin feel to it! Also, there is plenty of deck space to relax with a bottle of wine and to enjoy the nature and views!

What a great cute place ~10 min from the park! Cute adjacent store with gear/accessories better than the park. Everyone very nice. Ice didn't work and could hear the neighbor snoring, but would def stay again.

Very cute and quaint! I wanted to squeeze in a quick nature getaway for some peace and tranquillity. I checked in earlier than 3pm and the room was ready for me. The room feels like a cabin with a more modernized bathroom. I do have a couple gripes: the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything ! I kept waking up to foot steps above me. I definitely recommend booking the single level room facing the forest. There will be nobody above you and you can hear the creek water better. Also, Their highly rated restaurant was closed! Was really looking forward to trying the food. The skies look great at night and there are cool little paths surrounding the Inn. Sugar pine railroad is right next door to book a train ride and to visit the museum . Yosemite is just 4 miles up the road!

Great affordable stay near Yosemite! It's 8 minutes from the south west entrance to Yosemite, but an hour from the valley floor. There is AC, heater and a fan! A small fridge and tv are also in the room. everyone here is extremely kind and hospitable! There was an issue with the toilet, but it was fixed immediately. The restaurant at this inn is great! Everything is made to order (even breakfast - you let the front desk know in advance!) It is a bit further from the main attractions at Yosemite and the entire drive is through a windy road, which made it difficult to visit the park. Would highly recommend if you don't mind the drive!

Great location for Yosemite! Rustic inn that looks like it had some recent remodels. Overall it was clean, quiet place to sleep. Rooms a little small with a large bathroom that included a desk space with coffee maker. Our room had a little balcony with an amazing view of the mountains. I mean really amazing! My main issue was that the mattresses were rather worn and could be replaced. Also the heater was really noisy. Desk staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the grab and go breakfast provided by the restaurant. The portions were huge and the fruit was fresh and delicious. Lobby features a cute gift shop with snacks, sundries etc... Also a microwave fir guest use. Great little place to stay between Yosemite and Oakhurst. PS if you are an EV driver there are a ton of Super chargers up the road at Tenaya and also a charger for other EV's.

Narrow Gauge Inn in Fish Camp is a cosy and welcoming Inn nestled under beautiful pine, cedar, and Sugarpine trees. The best part is that it is walking distance to the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad that took us through the Sierra National Forest to an Amphitheater where we were to see Hiroshima in concert.

Not well maintained, the room was dark and dingy with ripped blanket on the bed. Reception did not allow us to use the restroom in lobby before the check in time and told us to go down the road to a nearby business and use their facilities. The pool was not maintained and was murky. Do not recommend in any way, as management is clearly riding in the coattails of being at Yosemite entrance.

Our room was filthy, bug stained walls, spider webs and cob webs , badly made bed with a filthy mattress cover. Trash around the balcony. I booked two nights and left after one it was so disappointing. In a positive note the restaurant was really good.
