With the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite cabins, you get the best of both worlds - space for the whole family in a two-bedroom cabin with a private deck, plus access to all the resort amenities including restaurants, pools, spas, and more.
Explorer cabins are located on 27 forested acres with views of a creek, pond and alpine meadows. You'll be able to reconnect with nature and breathe in the fresh mountain air just outside your doorstep. Yet, the Explorer Clubhouse is only about a 10-minute walk along a quiet path from the main lodge if you want to eat out, get a massage, or play in the pool. If you don't want to walk, take the convenient shuttle service (operating 24 hours a day), or make the quick trip in your car.
Non-ADA cabins have 560 square feet (52m2) of interior space to spread out. ADA cabins are slightly larger to accommodate wheelchairs in the bathroom.
All cabins have two bedrooms, a living room, and a 90-square-foot covered porch to relax on and take in the smell of the pines. Explorer Cabins also include a wetbar area with a compact fridge and freezer, microwave and a Keurig coffee maker. Please note: cabins do not include an oven, range or cooking utensils.
Tenaya Lodge also offers a range of suites both in the main lodge and in the Tenaya Cottages.
