Yosemite is a spellbinding national park that truly has something for everyone. Want to lounge on the beach near a gentle river? The Merced flows directly through the park’s granite-studded valley. Seeking a hike through a rainbow of alpine wildflowers? Tuolumne Meadows has what you’re looking for in spades. Though the park is perhaps best known for its towering cliffs of granite and glacially polished rock domes, this 747,956-acre expanse is also home to misty alpine meadows, giant sequoia groves, and trout-filled rivers—and plenty of great lodging options, too.
Whether you’re hoping to kick back and peek through your binoculars at the rock climbers scaling El Capitan or cruise the park’s scenic bike paths on your one-speeder, we’ve put together a list of our favorite accommodations to relax in when you’re not adventuring. From European-style castles with fine dining to cozy cabins with jetted hot tubs for primo stargazing, there’s a cabin, hotel, vacation rental, or Airstream for every type of traveler. (Or, if you prefer to rough it a little, check out our guide to the campgrounds at Yosemite.)
Editor’s note: Yosemite has renewed its mandatory vehicle reservations this summer. Book your slot now.
