Rush Creek Lodge and Spa at Yosemite  

On the edge of Yosemite National Park in Buck Meadows, just half a mile from the Hwy 120 West entrance. The lodge sits on 20 forested acres and is about 29 km from the nearest town center. A family-friendly, mountain-lodge getaway for explorers and nature lovers.

Pick from hillside villas, lodge rooms, and suites spread across the property—143 units in total. Rooms pair contemporary and rustic design with private balconies that overlook the forest; many offer front-row Sierra sunsets. Expect comfy beds with feather pillows, custom artwork, gourmet coffee brewers, and rooms stocked with games and radio streaming instead of TVs for a more authentic mountain vibe.

Year-round outdoor pool and garden, full spa and massage room, plus a fitness center. Kid-friendly playrooms and a recreation team run daily family activities and guided tours. Games like ping-pong, foosball and bumper pool pepper the grounds, alongside a picnic area and plenty of places to unwind. Free parking, elevator access, laundry, ATM and safe-deposit boxes complete the practical perks—wake up to pine-scented mornings on your balcony.

Free on-property Wi-Fi keeps you connected. A tour desk and guest services can help arrange excursions and logistics.

An on-site restaurant serves hearty mountain-style meals and an upbeat tavern features a big screen for major sporting events. Rooms include gourmet coffee brewers for slow, easy mornings.
