Tin Lizzie Inn

Highest recommendation for this bed and breakfast.
The owners Sheran and David are delightful and extremely accommodating. They made staying at the inn a wonderful experience. Their attention to detail is incredible.
The suite was large and beautiful – a Victorian feel (with a treasure of antiques throughout) with all the modern conveniences. The house and setting are gorgeous.
The breakfasts were amazing. Sheran is a wonderful cook and the meals were beautifully presented on the balcony or indoors.
Riding around in the Model T put a punctuation mark on the whole experience. It was definitely a highlight.
There is only one problem. The Tin Lizzie Inn is now the reference to which I will compare all other B&Bs. I may have been spoiled for life…

We stayed here to celebrate our 40^th anniversary. It was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and our first trip to Yosemite. It was a great experience. Our first evening David drove us around and dropped us off for dinner in his 1915 Model T! Before we took off, he did a mini photo shoot of us in and by the Model T — I loved this as my husband is not one to have pictures made. Took the pics with my camera — so nice! I echo all the previous reviews — breakfast was beautiful and delicious. Sheran is an amazing cook! David helped us plan our day at Yosemite which was great since the park is so huge and we needed guidance. The last morning, their resident squirrel put on a show for us at breakfast!

My husband and I drove up to North Fork to check out the Tin Lizzie B&B. I wanted to see the rooms before I stayed there. We dialed the number and were warmly greeted by the owner who agreed to meet us outside and let us come in and look around. It is a incredibly beautiful area outdone only by the beauty of the inside of this bed and breakfast. The details of the inside down to the hinges on the doors and the original wood stair railing are so beautiful. I have been to lots of B&B’s and this is in the top tier. The owners are so friendly and made us feel so welcome even we were not staying there. The rooms are so beautiful you might not want to leave. The suites are very large and have such beautiful furnishings and antiques. The bathrooms are huge and so well equipped. They even have a makeup mirror for the ladies. They told us they also make a full breakfast. You can even get a ride in a old convertible antique automobile. If you are going to Yosemite I can’t imagine wanting to stay anywhere else. No I am not related to the owners. I am just so impressed with them and their Inn.

We had a great two nights at the Tin Lizzie celebrating our anniversary. The cottage is separate from the main house (only sharing a wall), and it’s nice to have your own place and privacy. The place is immaculate!
David and Sharon are excellent hosts and made sure that everything was as perfect as possible. It was a lot of fun riding in a 1912 model-​T — definitely an unexpected bonus of staying here. Chatting with David about the things he’s done in his life is also very educational :-)
Our first morning we left early to beat the crowds on half dome, and Sharon made us a cute little to-​go breakfast/​care package. When we returned, tired, dirty and famished, David made reservations for us at a local restaurant where we enjoyed the early bird special. Breakfast the next morning was a multi-​course event and completely delicious.
It’s about an hour from the Inn to the valley floor, so if you’re planning a trip to yosemite and want to stay off the beaten path a little, definitely recommend the Tin Lizzie Inn.

Had THE best weekend in Yosemite. No camping for hubby and me — we stayed at a Bed & Breakfast. I’ve stayed at my share of B & B’s and this was a five-​star experience. Why?
1. Treats every night — chocolate dipped strawberries & homemade chocolate chip cookies.
2. Turn down service with chocolates on our pillows.
3.Concierge service. Yes, I said concierge service. Sharon made our dinner reservations and would have hooked us up with whatever else we needed/​wanted.
4. Windshield was cleaned daily. I kid you not. David would go out each morning and clean our bug graveyard of a windshield every day.
5. Ice and refreshments provided every day.
Add-​ons
1. David is a antique car collector. He has a several cars and hubby got to drive a Model T. Quoting hubby «it was a once in a lifetime experience». We didn’t even expect to want and/​or enjoy doing this but we loved it. AWESOME!
2. The place is immaculate. For those who are clean freaks, you will love this place. I nearly died it was so nice and clean.
3. Fresh linens… everyday!
4. Free Wifi.
5. Wonderful beautiful dishes. Sharon pays a lot of attention to detail.
6. Sharon and David are the best people ever. EVER!
The food… AWESOME. A french toast/​bread pudding the first day, second day egg and ham strata, third day crêpe filled with nectarine/​peach. Along with that lots of fresh fresh and some kind of baked good each day.
Lodging — we stayed in the «cottage». Two floors, queen bed and bath on second floor. TV downstairs. There is also a suite — we got to see it and it’s amazing. It’s the whole upper floor. We’re totally staying there the next time.
If you want lodging nearby (the B & B is close to the South entrance), wonderful accommodations, a great breakfast everyday, a five-​star experience and did I mention they have a fire pit?! We didn’t get to roast marshmallows but they do that too?! Stay at the Tin Lizzie Inn — I think I’m spoiled now. My hubby and I are the worst ever workaholics and this place got us to relax and one of the many swings around the house, we got to reconnect and enjoy Yosemite and enjoy each other.
