Queen's Inn by the River

Wonderful getaway, will definitelybe back. Off the beaten path with clean rooms and great surroundings. We were in the main motel building in Room 7 ADA compliant. We needed a rollaway bed for our son which was very comfortable and an extra $25 for the whole stay. Coffee maker with pods in the room along with a microwave. Customer service is the best. Idle Restaurant on site is exceptional. Loved the unique food and great service. A wine tasting patio closer to the rooms and office with a great view of the "river". Enjoyed hiking in and around the property.Very reasonably priced but if you've never been there, best to arrive during daylight hours since the property is down a driveway about 100 yards down a hill.

Since I booked the hotel on a 3rd party app (Priceline) I was a little nervous when nobody would answer the phone on a Wednesday after noon. It was quite a drive so I was ready to relax! The office is only open 8am-12pm! There is a convenient note on the door when you get there along with a sweet note with your key. Whew!! May I recommend leaving that on your voicemail recording so people know? (Office hours) This is a quaint 12 room hotel. The other amenities are open on the weekends. Extremely clean, quiet and cozy. I would definitely go back. Great way to go into Yosemite through the South Entrance. The town of Oakhurst itself also has quite a bit. The Idle Hour winery is right above the hotel if you are hungry M-Wed. I didn't try it this go around.

This place is the perfect spot to spend a weekend! We arrived on a Friday and traveled up to Yosemite and back on both Friday and Saturday. It is about 1.5 hours to get to the valley (with no waiting at the gate) but I would choose to stay here every time! The staff are all wonderful, there's live music on Saturdays, and they even have a groundskeeper named Meow Meow (a cat of course) who you will see lounging around the property. The room was very clean and there was tons of parking. It was the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking and exploring in the park. The river is also very beautiful!

Pros:* Amazing room; had an attached balcony to look at the river* Had a microwave & mini fridge, which made vacation life easy* Check in and Check out was super easyCons:* Internet is a little slow* Service was spottyExtra:* We had a free wine tasting with our room at Idle Hour Winery and it was amazing. Great Lunch options* Road to lead down to Inn is right next to Veterinary office*Late April is an excellent time to visit

Booked Room 5 after a ton of deliberation over similar small, local venues for my annual personal retreat. What an absolute treat! I was looking for a room that gave me the peace of the winter hills with the comfort of a good soaker tub and boy did Queen's Inn deliver! From my first phone conversation with Jamie I felt welcomed and cared for like a long lost friend and not a customer! My service dog and I arrived Friday afternoon to find Jamie setting the fireplace timer so that we wouldn't arrive to a chilly room. We had a lovely first conversation with Rocky, one of the most charming facility owners I've ever met! We ultimately had several lovely conversations over the three days I was on property and if you get the chance I can't recommend listening to his stories enough. The back deck, river and lawns were my pups favorite part (her city puppy brain was absolutely blown by all the critters to smell and all the room to explore.) And I couldn't get enough of Idle Hour Winery and Restaurant. I'd planned to only have one meal on site but ultimately never moved the car even once. The care and attention the entire team lavished on us managed to make us feel cared for but not crowded. We joined the Wine Club and will be back often. We're sold for life!

9/3/22 Queen's Inn by the River was convenient since it was about a 30 min drive from Yosemite. We were there for the weekend and the price was pretty reasonable. Another plus was that they are dog friendly so we were able to bring our pup with us. When we got there, we were confused as to where to check in and get the keys, but the friendly staff directed us to the check in spot and our room. Upon entering the room, there was a welcome letter with some helpful information inside. There was also a take out box of muffins they hand for us stores in the fridge since it was hot outside. They offer free wi-fi but unfortunately it didn't work for us even though we entered the password in multiple times.... Another thing to note is that the walls are SUPER thin. The whole time we were there, we heard the people in the room next to us doing *cough cough* you know *cough cough* that haha. It was annoying but at least they left a day before we did so we had one night of quiet with no excessive moaning until 1-2AM....Honestly, besides that couple next door, I would be open to staying there again.

Cute and quirky. Don't expect white glove but it's nice and the winery and staff are great and their menu looks great too.

Best place to stay when visiting Yosemite! Dec. 2023 one week trip. Dog friendly. Lots of acreage to roam. I think it was a $50 pet deposit for our German Shepherd(Thank you Queen's.) Room had 2beds , 2 chairs, fireplace, small refrigerator in small walk in closet, shampoo,conditioner, body wash. 37in smart tv, local & Direct TV. Restaurant on site, we didn't visit. Recommend Lewis Creek Trail near the Inn, waterfalls!

The best little pet friendly hotel in an amazing location. Set along a river with a restaurant up the hill and the wine tasting room - beer also available as well. Large comfortable patio with a firepit. The room was cozy and safe with a connected patio facing the river. Parking right by room.

Great vibe, beautiful setting, reasonable prices, and live music. Win. Win. Win. (But bring the bug spray!!)
