Hubs and I stayed at RCL 10/30-11/2 and we just loved everything about it!It's clear what the values here are... family centric, sustainable, community focused... Our room was beautiful, the check in staff was super helpful, the general store (while a little cramped for bagel making) was very well stocked, the grounds were beautiful, the scents pumped into common spaces were subtle and quite nice, the tavern was a great place to eat and catch the games, the water filling station is well water and it tastes so good, the muffins in the general store are super moist, the game room was a nice after dinner diversion, the rec guide was SOOOO helpful and pointed us toward hikes I'm not sure we would have done w/out the guidance, the twilight spa was a great opportunity to wind down (Zed's tour sealed the deal), and the food was overall quite good.I don't want to deduct any stars because we were soooo happy here, so consider these things as simple information... if you are adverse to kids and the noise they bring, avoid booking at a time when kids are likely to be around. It was quiet as could be Wed/Thurs night. By Fri, night the game room was being destroyed, and the pool was overrun. The restaurant prices are high; the portions are enormous... could easily shave off a 1/3 of the serving size of everything and reduce the prices. There is no TV in the room which scared me at first... by day two I didn't miss it one ounce.The location is perfect! Easy access to Big Oak Flat entrance. Chains available in the general store should they be required.Love love it here!

Stayed here for one weekend night and was able to experience the hotel, restaurants and the spa.Hotel- stayed in the main lodge on the first floor right near the entrance. Surprisingly didn't hear too much foot traffic. The room itself is fine with a balcony but that is right on the main footpath of the property. The biggest disappointment and what put a sour taste in my mouth is that there were dirty, STAINED towels left behind in one of the black storage bins. I notified the front desk who gave a complimentary drink credit and told us it would be removed. But when we got back from our meal, the towels were still there!!! Horrified. Dining- ate at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner, and tavern for lunch. Breakfast was included in room rate. Got the steak and eggs, and corned beef hash. Both came with hash browns. All in all, pretty good dishes. Real chunks of corned beef, and the rib eye steak wasn't bad. Dinner- got the cioppino which actually was delicious! Salty tomato garlicky broth with couple baguette slices, and filled with fish, scallops, mussels. Also got the mushroom flatbread which exceeded expectations.Lunch at the tavern- fish n chips and lamb shawarma. Fish n chips were overpriced at almost $30 but was a nice sized fish. Lamb wrap was good and had nice harissa kick. Side salad was actually decent and mixed greens with tomato and radishes.Spa- for a facial and deep tissue massage both of which were fantastic. Would come again just for the spa. Day use of spa is also nice with steam room, sauna, hot tub and lounging area. Come early in morning to avoid crowds.All in all- would come back for the spa and maybe food, but probably would prefer to stay inside the park given the horrible maintenance of the hotel room.

I hadn't been to Yosemite in over three decades. When I was told I was going there for a wedding, I had a look of shock on my face. I guess I only knew that area to be of a campground and dirt and wild animals, but Yosemite is sooo huge. We stayed at Rush Creek Lodge for the wedding, which was beyond nice. Everything about this property was lovely. The staff, the food, the rooms.....anything and everything was over the top. Kudos to Jamie who was our dedicated server for the wedding's welcome dinner Thursday, and then our server for dinner post wedding. She was sooo on it. The rooms are sooo nice. We didn't pay for it as my hubby was the officiant, but honestly, whatever the price was, it was worth it. They must have a 5-start chef bc breakfast, lunch and dinner were all excellent. The food was not only really good, but you can tell quality was top notch. Our welcome dinner reminded me of a meal I had at the Fairmont. The steak was so tender you can cut it with a fork. Our room was spacious and had a great view overlooking the pool. The room has a fridge, safe, super spacious bathroom, AC that was nice and quiet, and a long deck where we ate most of our lunches.Check-in was easy and there was plenty of parking. There is a gym, although they encourage you to do a lot of outdoor activities. They have two pelotons, two treadmills and one elliptical. The weights are light, I think 20lbs at most. I would totally stay there again.

What an incredible experience we had at the rush creek lodge. The rooms and property were beautiful and everything has an upscale cabin vibe. The spa was great and the restaurant had great food and beer. Also the gift shop is 100x better than anything at Yosemite. Will be stopping here next time.

We had a great stay at this resort. Beautiful, safe, only 2 miles from Yosemite park. The food, like most resorts in small towns, is not great and is very expensive. Drinks are small and cost almost as much as drinks in Vegas, my husband's old fashioned cost $17. Our dinner was about $120 for two of us to dine in with one appetizer, two basic meals, one old fashioned and one beer. The pool was way too cold, they said it was heated to 71°, but when it's 50° outside, this is not warm enough. The hot tubs were way too hot at 104°, including the "family" hot tub we brought our baby into. Lastly, the room's curtains are nearly see-through with poor darkening abilities for my baby to nap. We would, however, stay here again despite these negatives.

Rush Creek Lodge happened to be one of the closest places to eat on a Friday's night drive back from Yosemite National Park. The prices were a little on the higher end, but seeing as though this was an upscale hotel, that was expected. I got the Empire Strikes Back ($18), one of their seasonal cocktails with Elderflower Gin, honey, lemon, and bitters. It was very refreshing. Apparently, an Aperol Spritz would have cost me the same $18 as well so I opted for a more unique cocktail. Their Cioppino ($32) had good flavor but I would love to have seen more seafood in it especially for the price I'm paying. The Bison Chili Mac ($28) lacked flavor and was a disappointment and was a pretty small portion. Seeing as though we didn't have much of an option for dining, I would only suggest this place if you don't mind the prices.

Fantastic place. Beautiful room and heated pool and spas. We did the $65 all day spa. Very relaxing and different treatment/experiences that are covered in the $65. You can order food and cocktails while relaxing in the magnesium waterfall spa. Only downside is, alot of stairs to get to different areas of the resort. We went on Easter and they hide eggs all over the property for the kids. I can't wait to visit again.

This review is for the on-site restaurant. Went there last weekend for dinner for three. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. Large portions too so we had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. For appetizers, we ordered a ceasar salad and the sweet chili friend cauliflower. For dinner we got the barbacoa tacos, cheesesteak sandwich, and burger. Everyone was very pleased with their meals.

DONT EAT HERE IF YOU ARE GAY! I took my boyfriend out for what I thought would be a nice valentine's dinner and despite me making reservations and the dining room being almost completely empty we were sat in the very loud bar amongst 4 tables that had a total of 10 loud children with Fox News playing on their tv's... so romantic. I obviously was pretty upset by all of this and asked to speak with the manager who sat us, he denied doing anything wrong and argued with me until I called him out for seating us here specifically because we're a gay couple. On the way out of the front desk area while returning to our car I heard the manager who sat us complaining to another manager about how they'll be dealing with stuff like this all summer... and I really really hope yall do deal with a lot more gay people like me who don't tolerate this type of bullshit and discrimination.
