Sierra Mountain Lodge

This is exactly what we were looking for– a charming locale that made you feel right at home. The size of the suite was perfect for us since we had a friend traveling with us. The kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was spacious for 3 people to use and the breakfast provided every morning is delicious and gets you prepared for the day in Yosemite.
Brenda and John are super star hosts — they suggested great hikes and fantastic alternatives of not so touristy things to do.

This place is home away from home. We enjoyed the loft style suite and discovered why our suite is called the Sunrise suite. We could clearly see the sunrise (and sunset) from our end unit. Lodge is surrounded by God’s creation and we couldn’t ask for a better stay. Our little guy loved the wide selection of (complimentary) DVDs in the lobby. He was able to watch the original Despicable Me since he caught part 2 over the summer. He was overjoyed. Breakfast was served with a smile.
Many thanks to innkeepers (John and family) for the wonderful hospitality and stay.

Can’t wait to go back! John and Brenda; you are doing God’s work at your B&B by being as kind as your are and as welcoming as your smiles and by the care and wisdom behind your advice and suggestions! We will see you again my friends and thanks again for the tip on picking up a misters for our day at a wedding in the 100 degree heat!!! Major score, we got so many envious glares that we began misting people we didn’t even know… good times, you’re the best!!!
The Sterling suite was so clean, spacious and comfy!
Take great care~ Eryn & Miguel

My first time using Air B&B (first time staying in any B&B/lodge) and it was fanstamal! The Rose Suite was perfect for 2 adults and 2 children. There is a little closet under the stairs which entertained the girls (11 year olds) for days! It was their little club house. Brenda was very nice and very welcoming. The views from the patio/​balcony are beautiful. I really have no complaints about this place. (Well we did forget a couple of things and were never notified… Maybe they didn’t notice but I’m awaiting a response to my email. :|)
Highly recommended!

We stayed here for a weekend getaway to Yosemite. With 4 and 7 year old girls, they thought they were in heaven in the rose suite. It was really cute and cozy. The only thing would be the loft gets REALLY hot at night (even in the middle of winter). Just be prepared when packing pajamas.

My first experience with Bed and breakfast type Inn and Sierra Mountain Lodge gets a 5 star. I have stayed in several places in and around the Yosemite valley, and this is by far my best experience. The couple who runs this lodge are so cheerful and welcoming. Their rooms take full credit, you get the experience of staying in your own suite in the valley. Their breakfast and esp. the pancakes, yummm !! beats iHop … View from the breakfast lobby is awe inspiring.
Overall 5 star to this place and i fully recommend this one.
Only one negative point, no wifi in the suites., but they have free wifi in the lobby. I did not take away a star for this, because, vacation is a time to escape from emails, tweets, facebook, da da. so why wifi in the suites…

Why anybody would come to Yosemite and stay somewhere else eludes me. Granted, this is about a 40 minute drive from the entrance to the park, but do you really want busloads of children and camera-​flashing tourists zapping past your window? This lodge – and it more closely resembles a Hacienda, given its splendor – overlooks a mountainous countryside, replete with shining stars overhead and an Ansel Adams view. It couldn’t be cleaner, friendlier, or more reasonable.

This place let me use their bathroom when I wasn’t staying there, so they get max. stars from me! THANK YOU! Your place is totally cute inside & the views from the deck outside – GORGEOUS! Peaceful & green & beautiful!

Beautiful & charming decorations in this rustic but comfortable Bed & Breakfast, helpful & considerate hosts, Brenda and John, and absolutely delicious breakfasts (including organic fruit, vegetarian sausage and real maple syrup for their pancakes or waffles)– served inside family –style, or outside on their wrap-​around wooden deck overlooking the Sierra foothills, make this B&B world-​class wonderful!
Each suite, which is very reasonably-​priced for the Yosemite area (where a small bottle of water at the local convenience store will set you back $ 1.75!), is spacious and comfortable with a kitchen and dining room with TV and dvd player. You can pick a dvd from their wide selection of dvds to watch from their own library collection. They also have a book of local restaurant’s menus and offer lots of tips about traveling around the Yosemite area.
It’s family-​friendly, and the hosts are politically liberal, which is surprising (and wonderful) for the area which tends to be neo-​conservative, New Hampshire/​Libertarian-​type, (a trend that seems to go with lots of trees, trucks, and privacy), and makes any vacation world-​class comfortable!
The Sierra Mountain Lodge B&B is a real gem.
