California Staycation
Your ultimate California Staycation filled with fresh air, relaxation, outdoor adventure, breathtaking scenery, creature comforts, and lifelong memories are right at Yosemite’s doorstep. Evergreen Lodge is the ideal ‘home away from home’ for your staycation.
The Evergreen Lodge at Yosemite awaits with open arms at the end of a classic 3-hour road trip from the San Francisco Bay Area. We provide California outdoor experiences that pair perfectly with the sparkle of a San Francisco visit. The Evergreen Lodge is a newly expanded full-service historic resort featuring 88 spacious cabins in the woods. The lodge sits on 20 acres just a mile from Yosemite’s western border, putting top attractions Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, and Hetch Hetchy in easy reach.
The lodge is filled with personal touches that make it an ideal ‘destination within a destination,’ including an amazing restaurant, historic tavern, indoor and outdoor play areas, daily activities, and therapeutic massage. Our professional guides service leads plenty of sightseeing, hiking, biking, fly-fishing, and snowshoeing tours, and gives free planning advice for self-guided adventures. A Frommer’s ‘Favorite’ and ‘Highly Recommended’ by Fodor’s, the Evergreen is the perfect mix of recreation, relaxation, and indulgence.
The new Spa at our sister property Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite has been thoughtfully designed to mirror the wonders of Yosemite in a welcoming and innovative style, allowing every guest to choose their own journey towards relaxation, happiness, and rejuvenation.
RANGE OF OPTIONS
Given the grand nature of Evergreen Lodge, guests are often surprised to find out that it was created by two Bay Area dads who continue to operate the lodge in a way that they like to share with their own family and friends (while using business as a force for good).
That’s why you’ll find that your room reservation has what you need for a spectacular Yosemite adventure, with no hidden Resort Fees. From basics such as free parking and free Wi-Fi, to Pool Area access and Forest Disc Golf fun, to more robust delights like the Daily Activities organized by our onsite Recreation Team throughout our indoor and outdoor play areas, including everyone’s favorite – nightly fireside s’mores roasting! Plus, miles of nature trails in the adjacent forest.
That said, we know sometimes you want a few options to make things a touch more convenient, or a just hint extra.
