Want to experience something besides your average chain hotel? This is the place for you! Beautiful rooms, comfy beds, big well stocked bathrooms, immaculate pool, homemade breakfast, accommodating staff....this place has it all. Nice stop overnight before heading into Yosemite. Celebrating mother Mary's 75th! Thanks Gunn house for a memorable time!

Shows you how reviews can vary person by person! We also stayed at this hotel the same weekend as the last reviewer who posted on the 13th. We stayed the night of the 14th and really enjoyed the hotel and amenities. It was super, super clean everywhere ... in the rooms and on the grounds. The rooms are cute, (the... More

This turned out to be a really bad choice for us. Though not expensive, I would hardly call the rooms 'lovingly restored' as proclaimed on the website. The historic features are old objects here and there. The common areas smelt, the room we had was far from secure and all in all it was not much more than a cheap... More

Dear Rallylist, As manager of the Gunn House Hotel I must say I felt absolutely stunned reading your review.

My wife and I spent a night at the Gunn last weekend for a wedding. This has to be the best value I've ever experienced in lodging. The room was just over $100 and came with a great free breakfast. I would value the breakfast at $25-$30. I had a waffle, some pastry's and some yummy quiche. also all you... More

I spent a night at Gunn House this past weekend for the first time; it certainly won't be the last! The room was comfortable and charming, lots of outdoor seating, the pool was immaculate. Breakfast was home-cooked; egg casseroles, an array of tempting pastries, muffins, and coffee cakes, made to order waffles, fresh fruit, and the usual beverages. Everything I... More

We had a lovely time at the Gunn House Hotel! The room was clean upon arrival. Bed was comfortable. Our toilet was low to the ground, not a problem for shorty me, but my be an issue for a tall person. We loved the communal patio outside our room. The atmosphere was relaxed. Every morning they serve a nice breakfast.... More

My family and I pulled into town after the long drive over Tioga pass and needed a place to stay for the night. After looking on line for a hotel room throughout the day with patchy reception and to no avail I saw the Gunn House vacancy sign. So relieved to find a room, I didn't even think about the... More

From the moment we arrived on the property, my husband and I were very pleased. Very clean inside and out. Great curb appeal. Our desk clerk, Breezy, did a very professional job of checking us in and escorting us to our room. The room was tastefully decorated and was reminiscent of a high class guest room. We will be back.

Just stayed on a trip with my brother. It's great they had a room with two beds. The room was spacious with quality linens, towels etc. We noted it was much nicer than a Hotel we recently stayed in at Fisherman's Wharf - for half the price. We spent the day at Yosemite and the drive wasn't bad at all.... More

The owner, manager and staff, all make you feel welcome and comfortable at every turn.The rooms are clean and have everything you need. Wifi & T.V. are included, which I personally like. They have a nice and clean pool,... More
