Nature’s Inn Bed & Breakfast

Came across this Bed & Breakfast while searching for a place to stay for a weekend getaway near Yosemite and I am glad it was this one! Sherilee was absolutely amazing from the start – she made us feel very welcome. We stayed in the «Vernal Falls» room and it was lovely. We were a few feet away from the hotub, pool, and backyard. We arrived at night so we had no idea what to expect the following morning and wow was it amazing. We opted for the 8:30am breakfast and that, paired with the view (you can sit outside if you desire), was incredible. We got pretty lucky with the weather being that it was February, but I imagine it is beautiful no matter the weather. The food (both days) was perfect, just the right amount and very thoughtful (veggie omelet one day and macadamia nut french toast the next). We headed into Yosemite that day with a few recommendations from Sherilee that would result in an unforgettable day in the park. She told us to try and catch the rare Firefall (the weather and time of year has to be just right to catch this) at sunset and we are so glad we took her word for it. We had never even heard of it and wouldn’t have known to check it out if it wasn’t for Sherilee. We found the spot just in time and got to witness something that only happens around the second week of February – how lucky were we! That evening we had a slight misunderstanding at a restaurant we had reservations for and needed a last minute reference for another place. We tried searching online but had no luck and so we had to call Sherilee as much as we didn’t want to bother her. She answered very sweetly and was able to steer us to a local dive bar (The Hitchin’ Post) that served really good food late (probably only something the locals know about). Anyway! Before I make this too longwinded, it is rare to come across this kind of wonderful service and I don’t want it to go unnoticed! I would absolutely recommend Nature’s Inn. The Yosemite South Entrance is just a half hour drive from the Inn and the peace and quiet it provides after a hectic day at the park makes for an awesome balance Oh! And be sure to check out the Dirty Donkey while you’re there. Another great local dive/​biker bar.

Five of my girlfriends and I went on a weekend getaway. This Inn was amazing. Not only is it gorgeous, but it has a bunch of little getaway’s on the property. There is a swing overlooking the mountains to sit and have a glass of wine. Or the outdoor living room complete with a massive fireplace. Or maybe sitting poolside is more your style. And a number of the rooms have beautiful patios. But the most breathtaking area is in the main lodge. It is a true lodge with big comfortable chairs. I sat in there with a cup of hot tea. Most of the rooms have refrigerators, and some have microwaves. A couple have kitchens. We stayed in the two bedroom suite and a single room in the main lodge. It was a fabulous little getaway. I can’t wait to return with my husband. While it was a fabulous weekend with the girls, this place screams romance. So we will be back.

I definitely recommend this bed and breakfast. It has 5 stars on Tripadvisor and Expedia. It definitely earns its ratings. The two owners are very friendly and pleasant. They greeted me as soon as I arrived and showed me to my room. The inn has the look of log cabins. The rooms are comfortable and look great. You also have a kitchen and a refrigerator. The beds are the best I have ever slept in while travelling. They are very firm and I slept like a baby. The wireless internet is strong as I had no problem connecting. The only slight criticism I had was the showers were small so it was difficult for me to turn since I am not a small person. The inn is also close to the west and south entrances at about a 20 minute drive to either entrance. Of course, it still takes 90 minutes to get to the Visitor’s Center since it is a long drive once you are in the park.
The breakfast at the inn is amazing. It was definitely the best food I ate near Yosemite. My favorite breakfast was the puffed pancake and bacon I had on my first day. It gave me the energy I needed to get through the ensuring monster hike. They served an egg soufflé with fruit on the second day of my stay. Then, they served a fruit French toast with sausages on my final day. Everything tasted incredible. They offered seconds but I was full with just one serving.

A wonderful B&B. We loved starting our day with a fantastic breakfast, and advice from Sherilee to help plan our day at Yosemite. After our long day of hiking we cooled off in the pool, played ping ping and bocce ball to relax! Beautiful grounds and comfortable, clean rooms. We stayed in the El Capitan, 2 bedroom cottage that has a grill and outdoor patio! You will love this place!

This inn is more than awesome! The host Sherilee and her mother are the best hosts I have ever met.
First of all, the inn itself was very clean and new. Our room was clean and tidy. Bedding, towels, kitchen ware etc were all new and pretty.
Breakfast was yummy, and healthy. The hosts were very good chef and made sure we did not starve before our hike in Yosemite. I liked their breakfast so much and Sherilee printed out the recipe for me. She is so sweet!
Sherilee was very informative regarding good trails to spot bears. And my fiancé and I spotted 9 bears because of Sherilee’s suggestions!
The hosts also lent hiking gears and DVDs for entertainment.
We stayed three nights with the hosts and wish it could bw longer!

My friends and I had a fantastic experience here. It’s a great jumping off point to touring Yosemite and the surrounding area. The accommodations and setting are top-​notch and completely unlike you might get at another location. Spanking clean, each room offers a relaxing, comfortable and pleasant experience well above expectations. The main log cabin house/​lodge is a one of a kind unique building where folks can relax and/​or interact.
Composed of huge log timber and stately stone floor, it offers modern features on a scale of monumental mountain architecture. There are also smaller buildings with rooms. AND, there is a lavish lower addition of several suites that are being built down the hill several hundred feet offering a ‘world class’ experience. The inn-​keeper and family are friendly, personable and go out of their way in making you feel welcome. Don’t get me started on how good the food was! I can’t think of a more cozy or romantic spot to get away.
This is the place you want to book if you’re coming into the area!
Thank you Mike, Kathy and Sherilee for the unforgettable luau party we had at your place!

We stayed in this charming B&B at the end of May. Sherrilee, the Inn keeper, is the best! She is very helpful and offered very good suggestions for navigating Yosemite. Her breakfasts are amazing and worth the stay alone! Very clean and well appointed accommodations .
It is a little far from the Valley floor, but perfect for the south end of things– a visit to Wawona is not to be missed!
We will be back– just for a retreat!

Beautiful setting and friendly (though not intrusive) staff. Great food to boot. A bit of a drive to the park but just a short drive to Oakhurst.

This is the perfect place to stay on a trip to Yosemite. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful, and their breakfasts are hearty and delicious — perfect fuel for a day of hiking!

Wonderful little b&b, a real gem! Stayed there for two nights just last month — room was clean and cozy, kitchenette fully equipped in plates, utensils etc, gas BBQ on the patio, comfy bed, beautiful grounds and breakfest … I’d go back for the breakfast alone. The innkeeper is super sweet, very thoughtful and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend the place.

We stayed in the Vernal Falls room for 2 nights this summer. This property is wonderful! Perfectly clean and well kept which is often hard to find. The pool glistened and watching the sun set over the hills while enjoying the deluxe hot tub was a great way to end the day. Breakfast on both mornings was scrumptious and perfectly made. The innkeeper is a delight! An immaculate BnB not to be missed.

My husband and I stayed at this B and B for one night in the Half Dome suite. We were very satisfied with both the room accommodations and the inn-keeper’s style of running the place. She was very helpful when needed, but did not impose any unnecessary rules/​requests that often come with staying at a B/​B. This property was very clean and pleasant; with a pool and spa available for use. We stayed at two other Bed and Breakfasts in this area during the same week and were most satisfied with the Nature’s Inn. The Inn keeper was so sweet and made our experience wonderful.
