Breakfast had cheese omelettes, French toast-sticks, cereal, juice & fresh fruit. All tasty! The location is close to the freeway, but tucked away on a side street that is private. Because of that, it's much more quiet than the hotels along the Main Street in Sonora (15 minutes away).

Review #160 - 2020…read more This review was previously written as a 3-star, but then my son came home and realized a few days later that he had forgotten his $200 Ferragamo belt in one of the drawers. Normally, my son shares a room with his younger sister and I; but since his cousins begged him to stay with them, he couldn't say no. If he'd stayed in the same room as us, he would've never forgotten anything because I always tell him to double check everything. He called the owner on Thursday, August 27th, and the owner said he had the belt in his possession. Thank goodness! The owner told us that he would mail it to us--as long as I provided my credit card info to pay for the shipping fee (which I had no problem with), but he didn't know when he would have the time to head to the post office. Fast forward to Monday, August 31st, and the belt arrived safely in our mailbox! Talk about staying on top of it! The hotel may be a 3-star stay, but customer service is definitely 10-star worthy! Thank you!!! ---------------------------------------------- I previously booked a cabin for 12 people about two months ago and as our trip drew near, the group size grew to 16 people so the cabin owner had to cancel our reservation the day before our trip. I was pretty disappointed because all my nieces and nephews were super excited about staying at the cabin. Sadly, they weren't able to accommodate us so I had to start looking for a back up plan. I was able to book four rooms at The Christmas Tree Inn at $160/night. Luckily, my siblings weren't too disappointed with the last minute change. We showed up at around 4 PM on Saturday, August 22nd for an overnight stay. Check-in was super quick and easy. My siblings actually showed up about an hour before me since I had to make a few stops to pick up food & drinks for our group. The owner was nice & easy going. He didn't make a big deal out of the fact that I forgot my mask. Check out was just as easy. He just told us to leave our keys in the room and close the door. The room was clean, but pretty outdated. The a/c worked very well, thank goodness, because it was 90° out plus the smoke from the fire didn't help. There's a picnic table right out front so we made good use of it for our late lunch and breakfast the next morning. There's plenty of available parking since our group was probably the only ones there. The hotel is less than half an hour away from Pinecrest Lake, which was nice.

This review is for the ice skating rink at the lodge only…read more We were staying nearby over our girls' Christmas school break and went ice skating at the Long Barn Lodge. Overall, we had a good time. This is a small indoor rink full of old school vibes. The staff was friendly, but inattentive. The ice was really rutted and had large puddles of standing water from not being resurfaced. I asked twice for someone to run the ice resurfacing machine stored at the corner of the rink on the ice. Apparently, none of the *three* people sitting in the office knew how to run the machine and were only qualified to collect money and scroll on their phones. The one guy who can run the machine was supposedly busy checking people in to the lodge. This didn't stop them from gladly taking more money from new skaters to get on the poorly maintained ice. Deep ruts in the ice are a safety hazard for skaters and should be taken more seriously. It's unacceptable to have multiple employees sitting around and not a single one of them can resurface the ice. My advice would be to check on the ice before handing over your hard earned money.

We went to the Ice Rink at the Long Barn Lodge this past weekend, it was my first time visiting the…read moreice rink up here. It is a smaller rink, but perfect for beginners, or spending the afternoon with the kids. This was the first time I been on the ice since I was 10 and it is much harder than I remembered. It was my boyfriends first time ice skating and he got the hang of it pretty quickly. The kids enjoyed it - the youngest in our party had just turned 3 and he was killing it - doing better than most of us. The cost is minimal $20/person and that includes skate rentals. You can also rent the skate helpers for the kids or the adults who are learning. I ended up using one for a while as it was much more difficult to glide on the ice than I remembered. The kids had so much fun, even asking when we could come back or if they can take ice skating classes. We plan on returning before they close for the season.

Also made sure to do the tricks I mentioned in my last review, covered the LED lights on the heater. And put a towel over the window to make the room a little darker. That was a tad bit ticker to do, but I did it. Another great night before playing in the snow.

Every square inch of the unit was filthy, including the microwave and coffee pot. The beds looked lumpy and uncomfortable. The smoke detectors were stripped of their batteries. The manager told us that someone must have stolen them. What? Wow! Unfortunately, my boyfriend paid for the entire 3 nights before checking the place and demanded a refund as we intended to move on. She refused the refund and any paperwork related to our "stay." He threatened to call the police for refusing, but she beat him to it and the police showed up and asked us to leave. Today, when my boyfriend checked his credit card account he noted that the manager charged him $100 for cleaning the place. What? The irony of it all! The total bill was $500. Do not contract with this motel should you decide to visit Twain Harte. The operators are scammers. Stay at the Lumberjack in Sonora instead. For its cleanlinessandprofessionalism the price was less expensive. Our trip ended beautifully thanks to that comfortable hotel and its managers!

The Tavern has lots of delicious choices for breakfast, with a wait staff that made sure our coffee cups were always full. One staffer saw us trying to figure out where the ceremony was happening, and they literally stopped what they were doing and walked us to the beautiful ceremony setting; well above and beyond his regular duties. If you have the opportunity to visit Yosemite, a 100% recommend staying at the Evergreen Lodge- we will definitely be coming back.

This review is two part. First for the Lodge accommodations and the second for the on-site…read moreRestaurant and Tavern. We stayed on-site for the Christmas holiday and ate all our meals at the Lodge restaurant and tavern. 1) Lodge Accommodations -We always stay in the Deluxe Cabin - King. It's wonderful, cozy, spacious, and always clean. -The staff has always been exceptional, welcoming, and helpful, especially or despite working over holidays. -The nightly s'mores don't hurt -This holiday trip, Dez and Deneja, did a tremendous job with activities and were overall delightful. -Plenty to do (between hikes, games, and relaxing) to unwind with time away from electronics. 2) Restaurant and Tavern I'll start with the good: -The salads are really good and portion is large. -They have several options to accommodate different dietary restrictions. -Elk meatloaf is consistent and delicious -Sea Bass on Christmas was delightful (my husband's entree dish) -Servers & bar tenders are wonderful The bad: [Christmas Eve] Avoid the trout & gnocchi; trout was extremely dry and I'm not sure you could call whatever we received gnocchi. The "gnocchi" was too mushy, not much shape, and had a very off putting taste & fragrance. The worst: [Christmas] It was a prefixed menu, with delicious sounding options. One of the options was a Scotch Egg, seemed like an appropriate choice given the holiday. My husband chose the salad. I wish I had chosen the soup. When the scotch egg arrived, it looked good. Upon cutting, the pork/sausage was raw. The server, Cara (who was amazing the whole meal), apologized and took the dish back. The kitchen made a second attempt and the restaurant or kitchen manager stated that she watched them cook this one longer to ensure it was fully cooked. Well, it was more cooked than the last attempt. However, there were still clearly raw sections closer to the egg. Now, I can understand this isn't a regular menu dish, things happen, usually not a big deal. Yet, the restaurant or kitchen manager (didn't catch her name), decided to gaslight me instead. She said the pink bits are expected given that they use paprika (If that was the case, the rest of the meat wouldn't change colors when cooked nor would it be a different texture). She stated they only had the salad or I'd have to accept this, they were out of other options. Fair. Obviously, I didn't want food poisoning and didn't accept it. Cara did provide a 10% discount and, again, was extremely lovely the whole time. The tone and gaslighting from the restaurant or kitchen manager was completely unacceptable and off putting. We've stayed at Evergreen Lodge multiple times, included over the holidays; dining at the Restaurant and Lodge the majority of meals, with acceptable or great experiences. We'll continue to stay at Evergreen Lodge, but either dine at Rush Creek or select safer/regular menu items when dining here again.

The team clearly loves what they do, and it shows in every interaction across the resort. This was our family's first visit to Yosemite, and the resort felt like a true haven for both our son and us. There were so many thoughtful touches--from daily activities to easy access to beautiful trails. Our son especially loved the programming, from bingo to making clay animal handprints, and it was amazing to see how much he learned and enjoyed himself. The spa experience was a highlight. Alyssa provided the best facial I've ever had--her warmth, expertise, and attention to detail were truly exceptional. The spa facilities themselves were also fantastic and added to the overall sense of relaxation. The food was excellent, and we loved starting our mornings with coffee and fresh bakery items from the gift shop (which also had great finds for friends and family). Another standout was Mary Jane from the room service team--her service was best-in-class, always thoughtful, with extra touches like additional towels and personalized notes that made a real difference. We also appreciated the welcome gift for our son--it was such a meaningful and memorable touch. Rush Creek Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't wait to return.
