Wow, what an amazing place. Superb location right by the Yosemite entrance, lots of great food options, pools and spas were amazing. The nightly free smores was a highlight. They have lots of experiences you can book, we did horse riding and united a paddle board to take to a lake, both were amazing. Highly recommended.

Relaxing & Restorative

Rush Creek is a relaxing and restorative place to return to after a day of adventuring. The rooms are well designed, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the service is attentive and helpful. It's all clean and perfectly maintained, and the wooded setting is lovely and quiet. I enjoyed relaxing by the fire pits and meeting other lodgers, and loved my much-needed massage and my spa pool soak. Yes, it's a drive into the Valley, but so worth it!

It was a great place nice and close to Yosemite. The restaurant was convenient and the meals were really good, especially the breakfast. A pool for 16+ only would make Rush Creek perfect.
