Overview

Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort: A Unique Stay Near Yosemite Park

Nestled in the picturesque hills of Midpines, CA, Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort stands as a charming and affordable option for travelers seeking proximity to Yosemite National Park. Offering a diverse range of accommodations and a host of amenities, this resort blends rustic charm with a laid-back, eco-conscious vibe. From luxurious private cabins to basic bunks, guests can enjoy a serene mountain retreat with the comfort of modern conveniences.

Eclectic Rooms for Every Traveler

Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort offers accommodations that cater to all preferences, from hostel-style dorm bunks to private cabins adorned with luxurious brass beds, antique furnishings, and whimsical touches. These stylishly decorated private cabins boast quirky artwork, taxidermy, vintage terrariums, and retro posters, all meticulously curated by the co-owner, Doug. Despite its mishmash of accommodations, the resort maintains a cozy, albeit slightly scruffy, charm.

Dining With a Conscious at the June Bug Cafe

At the heart of the resort is the June Bug Cafe, a family-style restaurant revered for its focus on vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Guests can savor dishes made from hormone and antibiotic-free meats, cage-free eggs, and organic grains, all while enjoying the lush surroundings. The cafe, complemented by a selection of craft beer and Californian wines, prides itself on using local produce, offering meals like organic Thai vegetable tempeh curry and roast chicken with sweet potato mash at reasonable prices.

Revitalizing Services at Yosemite Health Spa

The resort's eco-spa, nestled beneath the cafe, is a tranquil haven offering a range of treatments including massages and body scrubs. Guests can unwind in the serene ambiance of the garden deck, the cedar hot rock sauna, or the spring-fed stainless-steel hot tub that overlooks the valley, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure.

Leisure and Entertainment Amid Nature at Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort

The lively atmosphere of the resort encourages relaxation and socialization. Guests can enjoy games of table tennis or darts in the lounge area, or treat themselves to a refreshing spa experience with hot stone massages, body wraps, or scrubs. The spa's serene setting, combined with the availability of a tranquil wood-paneled yoga studio, ensures a restorative experience for body and mind.

Convenient Location & Easy Transportation

This rustic resort's location an hour outside Yosemite National Park and its proximity to key transportation routes, like the Central Yosemite Highway and Merced Municipal Airport (80 km away), make it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding natural beauty. The Yosemite Valley Shuttle, stopping in front of the resort, facilitates easy access to the park's Visitors Center, while Mariposa's restaurants are just a 16-minute drive away. Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort offers a unique blend of rustic charm and eclectic amenities, making it a captivating retreat for those looking to explore Yosemite National Park and enjoy the natural beauty of Midpines, California.

    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 hotel had very comfortable beds and a spacious shower. The kitchen was amazing with all the appliances you might need. The staff were super nice and helpful, especially the guy in the dining room. The location was excellent, with an easy drive to Yosemite National Park and a bus stop nearby.

    Everything was fantastic.

    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.

    Cheap, nice heated rooms with rustic mountain feel. Good food at cafeteria, different styles each night - steak, asian, vegan. 50 min drive to Yosemite trails. Cosy tent cabins, quiet with well-maintained shared bathroom. Super friendly staff gave good intel. Comfortable bed, kitchen facilities, late check-in. Rooms scattered on hillside without TVs or room phones.

    The location of this rustic mountain resort allows you to experience a camping-like stay with cozy tents and clean showers. The dorm rooms are comfortable with nice beds and their own bathroom. The hostel kitchen is well-equipped and the on-site cafe offers affordably priced meals. The resort even has a trail leading to a beautiful swimming hole and a tea garden for relaxation. Guests can enjoy amenities like lockers, air conditioning, and laundry facilities.

    The walk to the restrooms can be inconvenient due to the stairs and distance, but units with attached bathrooms are available.

    The value for money was great and the room was comfortable and cozy. The location was peaceful and close to Yosemite Park. The staff at the resort were friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    The only thing that could have been better was the variety of food for breakfast.

    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.
