I would definetly come back. Very welcomed by the hosts. The location is really good. Great breakfast, home and freshly made. Cake awaiting for us after a long day hiking. Granola bars everywhere, noodle pots. A bath tub. 2 friendly dogs. Wish I didn't have to leave.

The minute we stepped out of our car we were blown away by the view from the top of the mountain, where Lillaskog is located. And when we later met the owner, Bill Charlson and the manager Cecilia we knew we were in for a treat. The rooms are nice and cozy and the beds made me want to sleep... More

My wife and I were so glad to have found this lodge of bliss! Everything was breathtaking. From the interior cabin decor to the exterior beauty of nature, it's hard to ask for anything more. Cecilia, the new manager, was great, and cooked up an incredible breakfast. All we could think as we were leaving was, "How soon can we... More

IM a newcomer to Yosemite and to Lilliskog. I can tell you this... I will be back. Very little can come close to the experience I had there. It was incredible. A double rainbow appeared the day before I left...from the balcony of the lodge I took amazing pictures. The lodge is perfect!.I stayed in El Capitan..I felt like royalty... More

A lot had been said about the lodge which is true. Great views, spacious lodge with very cosy atmosphere, rediculously good breakfast, clean and close to yosemite park entrance. The only minus so to speak for a lot of people is the way they were being treated by Cathy. I can understand this but see it differently. Its true that... More

Lillaskog Lodge is owned by great owners, and after their review of the overwhelmingly positive feedback from guests on the Lodge itself and then cringing as they read the overwhelmingly negative feedback on the "cold" impersonal treatment by the former caretaker, they made the move to get great management.

Having read the recent reviews we were not sure what to expect but liked the look of the place. Yosemite was busy and we couldn't find anything in the park. We stayed 3 nights and loved Lillaskog - for its location, views and hospitality. There are a few rules (like quiet time from 9pm) and Kathy explained the history/rationale which... More

Lillaskog Lodge has much to recommend it. It's located 25 minutes from Yosemite park gates and is surrounded by beautiful scenery, although access is by a rutted track, which tests your car's suspension. Our twin room was small, with a single and a double bed, and on arrival, very clean and well looked after like the rest of the lodge.... More

We stayed here during June 2012. It is a lovely setting but the staff (Kathy) wasn't at all welcoming. We felt like we were in the way during our stay there. There were a lot of specific rules which could have been delivered in a nicer manner - I have not come across so many rules at a B&B before!!... More

While the accommodations at Lillaskog were very nice, the hospitality was pretty much non-existent, and we did not have the same experience as other reviewers. On our arrival, Kathy (who never introduced herself), showed us to our room with little chatting. When we asked a question about hiking, her response was "Do I look like a hiker?" There was a...

Can you imagine owning the most beautiful, pleasant, peaceful Grand Lodge on the edge of Yosemite Valley...building that Grand Lodge over four years, placing it "just so" on the forest property to give guests the full breath of stunning mountain views and Yosemite snow caps, making sure guests can catch sunrise from their bedroom windows and sunset from a gorgeous...

This was easily the prettiest, most comfortable and relaxed place that we stayed during our trip. The interior looks like it's out of a fairytale - Swedish design at it's best, and makes the most of the stunning views. Kathy and Bill were great hosts, and were always there to chat or give advice about the area, without being overbearing.... More
