Reviews of Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

The location of the resort is great, being close to the park and only a short drive to Yosemite's west entrance. The shared kitchen, showers, laundry facility, and restaurant provided everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were equipped with lockers and air conditioning for a comfortable stay.
The cabin we stayed in was a bit of a walk from the parking lot and toilet/shower facility, which could be inconvenient for those with young children or mobility issues.

We loved the variety of amenities and activities at Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort. the on-site cafe served delicious and healthy food in generous portions, and the service was excellent. the close proximity to the Merced River Recreation Area was a bonus, with easy access to refreshing swimming holes. the location of the resort provided a peaceful and relaxing environment, away from traffic noise and loud crowds. Great value for money.
Felt very secure, no reason to complain.

Quirky forest location with cabins at different levels. Private facilities in nicely furnished cabin. Decent food at cafeteria-style restaurant. Close to Yosemite, about an hour by bus. Enjoyable sauna and jacuzzi after hiking.

The location of the resort is very convenient, just a short drive away from Yosemite Valley. The private room with a private bathroom was clean and well-maintained. The staff at the reception were friendly and accommodating, answering our questions with kindness and patience. The kitchen/cafeteria was nice and clean, providing a pleasant dining experience.
The intermittent internet connection was a downside, making it difficult to stay connected and access online maps in the area.

We had a cozy and friendly stay at this rustic mountain resort. the comfortable bed provided a good night's sleep. the convenient YARTS transportation made commuting to and from the park easy, and we enjoyed the delicious food offered by the on-site restaurant.
. The resort's location was a bit far from the park, requiring a walk up a hill after getting off the YARTS.

We stayed here for 2 nights during our Yosemite visit. The location is beautiful, about 20-30 minutes from the park, with a scenic drive along the Merced river. The private room we upgraded to was clean, comfortable, and cool, with a nice Queen and twin bunk bed. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the shared bathrooms worked just fine. The beds were comfy, with soft down comforters and plenty of pillows. The on-site restaurant was a pleasant surprise, serving delicious food. a great value for the money.
We recommend this hotel.
