    The space was good for 4 adults and a toddler. The kitchen was well equipped. The outside space was nice. We could use the pool at Cedar Lodge.

    Clean, basic, easy check-in at Cedar Lodge. Hot tub is fantastic. Festoon lights are a nice touch. One car space. Located OUTSIDE Yosemite NP, it can be a quick 30 minute drive to the entry gate if you leave early each day (between 6am & 8am)....

    Great location, easy to find. We had an amazing nighttime view of the stars, a deer passed by our house in the evening. It's a great spot, good value for your money if you're visiting yosemite.
