A few short miles from West Entrance. Perfect for YART or driving in yourself. Very limited dining, but overall great property with amenities you need for overnights between park days. Would stay again.

Really nice property, rooms are really nice, been remodeled and fixed up nice since the last time I was there. Only issue was two big tour buses took up all the parking spaces in right in front of the rooms, so had to park across the other side of the lot from my room

My friends and I appreciated how Cedar Lodge was more affordable, and that it was a reasonable drive from the El Portal entrance of Yosemite National Park! The rooms were kept very clean and neat. We also appreciated how they have a Store onsite that is well stocked with food, drinks, and souvenirs! Highly recommend!
