Also it worked out well that they had EV chargers since we unexpectedly got an EV rental car. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

This property located less than 1.5 hours away from the Yosemite Valley. All of these cabins seemed well maintained and I liked the self check in process. It is awesome that they have a small store on site, which contains most of the things you can imagine. Pricing was definitely reasonable, and will stay again if we ever visit Yosemite again in the future. Highly recommend this place to y'all.

We got into a car accident two days before our trip and had to cancel. However they would not refund my $90+ deposit. The car wasn’t drivable and we need to stay home to deal with the accident, insurance, medical etc. Talk about adding insult to injury.

We got into a car accident two days before our trip and had to cancel. However they would not refund my $90+ deposit. The car wasn’t drivable and we need to stay home to deal with the accident, insurance, medical etc. Talk about adding insult to injury. My oldest child is sore from the accident and it’s just bad customer service. This says a lot about this company. They didn’t even offer any compromise or anything. Additionally, on the Expedia profile it is not clear that there are no private bathrooms for the smaller cabins. I didn’t know until after I booked and saw something about a shared bathroom. This is February with a snow storm and rain. Who wants to go outside at night to pee then? They are allowed to have false advertisement but can’t get refund in an emergency.

Great, cozy little getaway! The cabins aren’t too far off the main road and it’s a few minutes away from Oakhurst. The staff was friendly and the cabins are clean and comfy. I would definitely go again!

Amazing experience with Sierra Meadows, really loved the campgrounds and cabin. Stayed in the micro cabin and loved it. very cozy and comfortable. Clean bathrooms, great staff, and very quiet at night. Free bikes to ride on their trails and access to the pool and hot tub, super dog friendly too!
