Hotels near Vonrad Trading Post, Oakhurst

DO NOT STAY HERE! This place is beyond disgusting, unsafe, and unprofessional. I booked a room with 2 queen beds for one night for 3 adults. The room we were given had one bed and a mattress for us to sleep on. The actual bed didn't have any blankets, only a sheet and some pillows. The mattress didn't even have that, it was just a stained fitted sheet that looked like it hadn't been washed. We searched the entire room for blankets or even a single pillow/top sheet for the mattress but there was nothing in the room. I went to the front desk and asked the manager if we could have some pillows and blankets since our room had none. She told us we didn't ”need any” since it was ”warm enough” at night. We told her we wanted bedding even if it was ”warm enough” (＜55ºF that night) and she then said the owner didn't let them wash blankets in the summer and that all the pillows and sheets were ”lost” at other properties. I kept insisting and finally she gave me 2 thin white sheets that both had brown stains all over them, telling me to use one as a pillow. I walked away in shock not believing that a hotel I payed $150 to stay one night at refused to give me bedding. To keep the rest short, Once we realized how bad the situation was, we tried to find a room anywhere else in town but there was nothing available within such short notice. It was already late and we had just driven 5 hours from home so we decided to leave very early the next morning to get out of there as soon as possible. Besides the strange and upsetting interaction with the front desk, we also found that the shower had no shower head, the toilet paper roll holder was ripped off the wall and a used roll was sitting on the counter instead, the bathroom sink was covered in dried toothpaste and green mold, the pot for a large decorative plant was filled with trash, the only ”lock” on the door was a key code (that was known by the staff) and a broken latch bolt that didn't even stay on the door, and finally, a DEAD LIZARD in the cabinet next to the bed! It almost felt like a sick joke or a scam. I am horrified that this is how we were treated.

It takes 40 minutes to drive from the gorge and a few minutes drive from the town. However, I like the hotel's environment and retro decoration style. Unfortunately, I didn't catch up with the beautiful snow scene when I stayed. The room size is small and the facilities are simple, but the bathroom is more special and has a double vanity. Breakfast can basically be ignored~

We spent 4 nights here in Early Nov. and we had such a great experience! Our large 1 bdrm cabin was spacious and clean and had room to stretch out on a nice sofa with a coffee table. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics and there is even a really great sounding Bluetooth speaker. We loved the little desk area for plotting our travels in Yosemite. The welcome card has great little QR codes with links to sightseeing, local restaurants, and even a list of all the items you can find in their camp store. There were some vintage Saturday Evening Post magazines from the 60’s that were fun to flip through while sitting on our deck and enjoying a beverage from the adorable little camp store on the property. The little store has such a great curated selection of snacks and beverages and sundries and lots of little items that you might have forgotten to pack! We had beautiful weather (70’s day/40’s night) and we took advantage of the lovely hiking trails on the property and we used the complimentary bikes on the paved pathways that wind around the property beyond the clubhouse. They have several really interesting large sculptures and art pieces scattered around the grounds along the pathways to keep things interesting too! We saw so much wildlife on our excursions (even a cute little bobcat) and at night there was an amazing concert at the intimate little clubhouse music venue! The event was even catered with delicious dinner options and there is a bar with super friendly tenders keeping the party going during and after the show. Everything is really well thought out and organized and the staff are super friendly and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

You can navigate to this beautiful resort with google maps or offline trips. The car is solitary and galloping. It comes to the mountains and lakes. After a second of isolation, the second is suddenly open. The cabins and kitchens are all available. A very good community, there is a petrol station supermarket restaurant post office, the supermarket can basically find everything that is needed, how to cure my Chinese stomach, live in a three-day cabin, and have a sense of isolation and convenience. Two seemingly contradictory sides, the focus is still picturesque, the bass lake is breathtaking, there are various water activities, even if you do not participate in these activities, it is very pleasant and pleasant to swim in the lake. The cabin is The cleaners were cleaned once in four days, but all kinds of supplies, such as paper towels and towels, were prepared in advance, which was very good, and the feeling of home on the road. There is a barbecue on the balcony of the room. Many people can open a party. The little squirrels in the woods will come to the balcony to hang out, and the children will like it. Not far from Yosemite, no use for an hour, more than 6 o'clock in the morning, more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, very convenient! If there is a defect, the sofa of the cabin is a bit old. It seems that it will be a lot more comfortable to change. In addition, the reception staff lacks service awareness. Although the customer is a bit too much for God, but the uncle seems to be really appetizing, I am If you pay for it, you have to come up with the corresponding service. It’s not white to live in your house, right?

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful resort hotel, it is quaint and the room has a beautiful setting with great mountain views very relaxing I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Yosemite national Park it is just couple miles away from the entrance we will definitely stay there again!!!!

Stayed here with family because my mom said she use to enjoy coming here 15-20 years ago. I wasn't really sure, but relented. Our trip was really to go to Yosemite, so it was actually quite a drive (an hour) from the hotel). The hotel itself have very strict protocols when it comes to COVID. They take your temperature before you come in, as well as have to show your ID before you enter the elevator taking you to your room. The good? 1) The hotel room itself was comfortable with the needed amenities. It was clean, and the AC worked well. 2) Wifi was good 3) Nice views. The bad? 1) the check-in process. It really took forever. Not sure of the check-in person was inexperienced or what, but waiting for 30 minutes was not cool at all. 2) the security at the elevator checking your IDs. The security was very rude to a point that when I said hi or thank you, she didn't even acknowledge. I think she was just in a bad mood. She asked for my ID, and as I was fumbling with my luggages, she appeared impatient. When I showed her my ID, she said, ”put it down so I can see it”. I'm like whoa, this better be not a hotel staff. The other security guards were good. But I will not forget this particular one. 3) The smoke filled ******. And yes, you can't escape it, but it was so nauseating that I decided not to gamble.and head back to my room - hoping and praying it's not the rude security guard. 4) the restaurant. The Mexican place I wanted to eat at was not only closed, but with my elderly/handicapped mom walking from the hotel to the restaurant, it was a challenge. Not seeing any signs, we wasted our time walking there. It was closed. The Asian Noodle place next to it was good, but the wait was over an hour. The ugly? I would not come back to this place just because of that security guard. Gosh, she was really in a bad mood. That's the ugliest thing ever.

The food at Jackalope was excellent. I had the rib-eye steak and it was perfectly cooked. My husband had the short ribs and they were absolutely amazing. Definitely 5-stars for the food and service. Although it was just my husband and me, I liked that they had a kiddie pool. All I could think of was my grandchildren enjoying playing in it all day. They also have three adult pools and jacuzzi. My only complaint is that we ran out of towels poolside. The facilities were clean and inviting. This was our first time staying at a hotel/lodge since COVID, so we discovered at Tenaya room cleaning is not automatic. If you want your room cleaned you have to schedule it 24-hours in advance. Read the fine print. Overall, it a great place to stay for visiting Yosemite.
