More than just a place to stay, Evergreen Lodge is a destination itself. Every aspect is well thought out. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The grounds are well laid out and you feel at home among the trees and wonderful atmosphere. The food is excellent and reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. It’s right outside Yosemite and they offer great advice on your visit to the park. The evening campfires and s’mores were a great touch to cap off the day.

We only stayed one night, wish we could have stayed longer. Traveling from San Francisco we drove in and at night we didn't realize until day time the majestic views around you. Tired from a full day we got there about 945pm, I had left a note upon booking that we were a late check in and when we walked in knew our name and were expecting us. We took our luggage to this cozy cabin that added to the ambiance of the forrest around you. Very clean, no tv which was nice for a change, had an old style heater which added extra homey feeling. They told us about the tavern onsite which closed at 10pm we had about 7 mins at this point but after the long day we could definitely use a night cap. Earlier I had popped in for directions to reception desk and they were very welcoming so I thought lets just try. We walked in chairs were put up etc and said we knew they were closing but asked if she mind we have a drink if it wasn't to much trouble. There was only 2 other people there and she said of course she knew we had just got in and helped us promptly. They had a full bar with local selections which I love. She actually let us have a few and we had a nice conversation with her and another employee there. They recommended us go to the rec. Ctr in the morning so they can give us key points to visit since our stay was brief which we did do and was well worth. We had breakfast at the restaurant on site was unexpected such nice staff and not your average breakfast. Not only tasted good but put effort in presentation which we are foodies so we appreciate the effort, and price was very reasonable. We will definitely go back and stay longer and take advantage of the trails they have from the lodge there, their pool, hot tub, nicely lit outdoor area, pool and shuffleboard, and even a massage! We thank you for such a memorable stay and look forward to returning in the future. We will definitely recommend to anyone heading to Yosemite.

The 15 minute drive down Evergreen Road to reach the resort is very uncomfortable. That drive alone would cause us to give up the cabin accommodations and beautiful trees to stay at the more modern Rush Creek Lodge. EL is very family friendly though needs some repair on the grounds and on that horrible road. Our cabin was spacious though if you plan to use the air conditioner bring ear plugs for a good night sleep. They have daily housekeeping to remove garbage and tidy the beds. The trees and cabins and play ateas create a beautiful atmosphere.
