Yosemite is a dilemma. It is a spectacular park, truly a must-see destination. However, all of the food and lodging in the park itself, and some even just outside the park, is controlled by a well-connected National Park concessionaire called Delaware North, which takes great advantage of its monopoly. Hence, the lodging and food service in the park itself is... More

We had two dinners at the Elderberry House, the cuisine was inventive, well served, and excellent quality. The atmosphere... More

The accommodations are perfect for a get away. The service could not be better. And the food ... Exquisite. Had dinner in the restaurant on site which is truly gourmet. The croissants in the morning - breakfast is included- the best outside of Paris.

Though we have stayed here many times, I have yet to write a review and it is long overdue! Erna, the creative genius behind the Chateau created a sanctuary from the one's daily existence. Though situated in a beautiful location that borders Yosemite, the best time there is the time spent reconnecting with one's loved one. I will never forget... More

Wonderful huge fireplace in the great room with warm fire always burning, and snacks and beverages always available. The staff is the most competent and accommodating we've ever experienced. The grounds... More
