Yosemite Lodging at Big Creek Inn

My first time coming to Yosemite I was able to book a stay at the B&B Inn. There was some things I found a bit different then the email I received and a difference of how self check in was meant that right when you arrive you're checking in with Pamela then given a set of keys for your room after, there wasn't a room check in code or self check-in. I enjoyed the balcony, comfy bed, and clean bathroom. I found it beautiful that there are plenty of stellar jays flying over the B&B inn. There was sights of deers, butterflies, and many other creatures to see. The balcony also had comfy rocking chairs which gives a homey feeling. For breakfast there was only a bagel or pastry nothing else. If you're driving there are many restaurants and food places in the towns an hour before B&B inn, but after passing Oakhurst town there will be far drives to be able to go to marts or other food places.

One word: Amazing.We were blessed to be able to stay at the Big Creek Inn with Pamela over NYE. This was our first B&B experience and I believe others will be hard to top. We stayed in the Madera Room the first night and switched over to the Mariposa room for NYE. MADERA ROOM- Gorgeous. It was a queen size bed with a temperature control fire place, beautiful bathroom with a large (almost big enough for two) bathtub and shower, tons of personal amenities (so no worries if you forgot anything), and 32" flat screen TV. MARIPOSA ROOM- When we received our keys and opened the door, I was dreaming. The door opens to an inviting foyer with hardwood floors. There are two separate bathrooms - we called his and hers. A flat screen TV and gas fire place. I was in heaven. This room is larger than most studio apartments in Hawaii. Both rooms had a lanai and a little bistro table set. It was inviting, it was romantic, we never wanted to leave. BREAKFAST- As this was our first B&B experience, we did not know what to expect for the other "B" (breakfast). As a veggie, I always feel uncomfortable pulling the "I don't eat meat card" when asking for special accommodations. I was pleasantly surprised to see there were plenty of options for all dietary preferences (meat lovers and veg-heads alike). - This time was spent with the inn-keeper, Pamela. She was a great host with a little sass in her. She was helpful and honest. She recommended what to do, and what to see, and things we could skip. We really appreciated that. - There is also a little guest lounging area where Pamela has provide literally 100s of DVDs to watch, snacks, magazines and soda! If you forgot a cutting board, wine opener or anything else she's got you covered!This B&B is gorgeous. We felt right at home and not in a hurry to leave. Our only regret was that we did not spend more time in the room to enjoy it more. We will be back.

This was my first time staying in a B&B and my first time going to Yosemite. I up in the area for the Yosemite Half Marathon and the B&B was in a great location. Not too far from town and really close to the park entrance. The place was wonderful and Pamela was amazing.Pamela is really knowledgeable about the area and was quick to tell you what were the best hikes in the park. She can also cook a good breakfast as well. I cannot wait to stay here and visit the park again.

Absolutely perfect!!!Pamela has created a little oasis in Fish Camp... one that is immaculately clean, modern and filled with every amenity you may need. Best of all you get access to Pamela's encyclopedic knowledge of all the local hikes including what's best right now - wild flowers in bloom, trail conditions, crowds, etc.The rooms are spacious, very quiet, comfortable, and did I mention clean? Each had a balcony overlooking the creek and a quiet meadow. Hummingbirds fought over the feeder outside the kitchen door while a Stellar's Jay tried to convince us to feed him the peanuts supplied inside for that purpose.Indy, the inn's standard poodle, is a sweetheart.

Details, Details, Details...Took the wife and kids (11 & 13) to stay with Pam and John for a winter weekend getaway. Kids had their own room down the hall. The wife and I had the big room at the opposite end. Kids loved the huge selection of movies, wifi and playing family games in the common area. Mom and dad loved the peace and quiet while we watched the water trickle down the stream surrounded by the snow covered meadow. A 40 min drive got us in the park and on the ski slopes at Badger Pass.These guys really pay attention to the little things. Rooms were wonderfully maintained and very clean. Bedding was very high quality and comfy. Breakfast and table conversation was great.Great stay - Highly recommend. Family friendly

This is a small (three bedrooms), immaculate, well-run, well-equipped bed and breakfast super close to the south entrance of Yosemite. The facilities are fully upgraded, well maintained, and spotless. The proprietors were kind, accommodating, and very knowledgeable of the surrounding area. The property is attractive, and borders on the creek. There is some good view of the night sky from the deck. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless. The beds seemed new and had very nice sheets and pillows. We did not use the TV, which had cable and a DVD player. The bathroom was very spacious with a nice size modern bathtub.Breakfast was good, if not spectacular. There were few cooked items, which is understandable with so few guests. Nice assortment of cut fruit.Other amenities include: Huge stock of DVDs, wifi, laptop with printer, hot tub, telescope, ping pong table, telescope, guide books, snacks.Although it was not the fault of the proprietors, not having AT&T cellular reception was inconvenient. The roads into Yosemite were undergoing construction this season, so there was some road noise that disturbed the peace and quiet. This will be less of an issue in future years.If you're looking for a well-stocked, clean, well-run and friendly B&B close to Yosemite on Route 41, Big Creek Inn a.k.a. Yosemite Inn is a great place to stay.

WOW! From the moment we arrived, the Big Creek Inn became our refuge from days of hiking and exploring the wonders of Yosemite. High-quality bed linens on the very comfortable bed. Gas fireplace in the room, and fragrance-free soap, etc. And wifi for us with our gadgets. Hot coffee outside the door in the common area was great to wake-up to, as was the simple but bountiful breakfast in the morning. Lots of snacks and beverages.The hosts are very generous and helpful. Their love of Yosemite and its wonders is reflected in the simple, comfortable and impeccably clean B&B.

Fantastic and cozy bed and breakfast in glorious Yosemite!I stayed at Big Creek Inn two years ago and absolutely loved it.My girlfriend and I stayed in the largest room which features two balconies, and a wonderful gas stove (that looks like an old log stove) that keeps the room warm and cozy on cold nights.Great views from the inn, and it's located close to the must-see areas of the park.Pam is a great hostess and you can borrow freely from her fantastic, and current, DVD collection while staying.Do yourself a favor, while in Yosemite, stay at the Big Creek Inn Bed & Breakfast!

Big Creek Inn was our first B&B experience. Pam upgraded our room from a queen to king for free. Pam's place is a huge, beautiful house with 3 bedrooms (all upstairs) Pam makes breakfast for all her guests downstairs. My husband and I were the only guests there at the time but the space looked like it could easily accommodate 6-8 guests. We stayed in the Mariposa room - spacious room with the view of the creek. We loved fire place and the nice bathroom in our room. The bathroom set up was really sweet. It was separated so that one person could take the shower in one room while the other one is using bathroom/ sink/ make up etc in the other room. Staying with Pam felt like we were with a friend. She made sure that we were comfortable and arranged breakfast around our schedule. She made yummy egg Benedict with fresh fruit, juice, coffee and tea for us. There were also snacks, pops, coffee and tea available for guests anytime just right outside of our bedroom doors. There's a 'hangout ' place with a table, microwave, fridge where we can have our snacks. Would definitely consider staying here again if we're in the area.

Pros: This location was great as it was near the entrance of Yosemite and it beats having to drive up and down some windy roads if you were to stay in town. The room we had was the Mariposa room and it was beautiful and large! We were amazed as everything looked clean and there were 2 bathrooms(one had the shower and the other had the toilet). Please make sure to read ALL of the rules that are in BOTH bathrooms that are hanging on the wall(one of them is right near the toilet and the other is in the other bathroom near the hair dryer). Pamela had also greeted us and told us about the continental breakfast and that you are to eat it in your own room. She would later enter your room when you are not there to pick up the dishes. She was also helpful with any questions in regards to what to visit in Yosemite. We loved our private balcony and the view of the stream flowing by. Pamela surprised us by hauling up some rocking sitting chairs on the last night of our stay onto the balcony. We enjoyed that very much and the peacefulness. We also enjoyed the fridge in the room but also wished there was a freezer as well as we had brought our own ice packs.Cons: As much as we did not mind Pamela coming into our room to get the breakfast dishes while we were gone, we did notice a few things that felt odd. First, she took our used shower towels that was hanging on the inside of the horseshoe rack and rehung it on top of the horseshoe rack holder. She even took out the squishy non-slip padding in the shower and rehung it. She made our beds(though we could of sworn that one of the rules was that there was NOT going to be any room cleaning, etc. She took some of our other towels that we had used and replaced it with others(which was fine). BUT, she THREW AWAY my small styrofoam cup that I had left nicely on the sink counter. I had brought it from home and had used it to rinse my mouth after brushing my teeth. Who does that?? Who throws away someone else's things? I was very upset and it kind of made our stay there less enjoyable knowing that someone had gone through your stuff.Overall, it is a nice place to stay with a nice room and view but think about items that belong to you and what things you wouldn't want anyone to touch or throw away. We also suggest you bring your own food as there isn't really a place to eat at except for a place slightly down the street that sells sandwiches(it was good) or at the expensive restaurant at the hotel down the street. If you don't bring your own food, you would need to drive ALL the way back down the windy road into town.
