In a hillside woodland setting close to the entrance to Yosemite National Park, Rush Creek Lodge offers warm, friendly service and a wealth of activities. You can hire a bike, enjoy a yoga class, relax by the pool or play a game of bumper pool! Enjoy the fresh California cuisine at the lodge’s two restaurants — both with al fresco seating for the warmer days. Choose between the rustic yet stylish Restaurant with its wood-burning oven and open kitchen, or the more casual Tavern with its big screen TVs, signature cocktails and evening music. There's also daily activities, from wildlife talks and kids crafts to beer tasting - and the lodge's nightly tradition of complimentary s'mores by the fire pit.

Holiday joy at Rush Creek

We've been to Rush Creek several times before, and we love the experience, the friendly service throughout, the food, and just the overall ambience, and then couple that with the holiday decorations. This was our first time here during the holidays, and it was just a wonderful time!
Beautiful resort with great Christmas vibe

This is the best place to stay for a family vacation with outings to Yosemite for hiking and skating. Hetch Hetchy reservoir is nearby and a great easy hike for the whole family as an example. The food is also very good. Hot tubs and zip lines too
Relaxing place!

Friendly staff and beautiful views! The room was clean and also had a great view of the forest. The staff was really informative, especially Hunter who checked us in. The spa was very close to all the other amenities. Would definitely come back!
Much needed relaxing getaway

Best girls trip ever. The villas are adorable and so cozy with the fireplace. The views are gorgeous we loved the creek that ran through the property. The spa was amazing we were all so relaxed afterwards it was much needed! All the staff were so nice and friendly as well.

We chose to stay here due to its location within Yosemite and we booked a 2 bedroom lodge as we were sharing with friends.
What an absolute delightful place. The room was equipped with microwave, coffee machine ,fridge, lovely gas fire and balcony overlooking the grounds.
The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was modern and bright.
We didnt use any housekeeping facilities but for two nights it was ok.
There are firepits in the main grounds and we were offered smores to toast which made our stay cosy after dark and then we got talking to other guests.
The bar area and restaurant were great and the food was good, we ate there only one evening.
There is a games room, with pool table and other activities for kids and teenagers.
We could not fault this place and would certainly recommend it . The location is very good for discovering the park.
