Yosemite National Park - located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of central California - is a setting so spectacular and awe-inspiring
that it is often referred to as the "Crown Jewel" of the National Park system. Earthquakes, glaciers and other forces
of nature over millions of years left indelible footprints on the landscape that are still visible in the towering granite
cliffs, thundering waterfalls, steep mountains and deep alpine lakes. They beckon visitors to explore, climb, photograph and
experience their grandeur.
The Cedar Lodge offers comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a great location at a reasonable price. Many enjoy our River Walk along the Merced River, the home of great fishing, world class kayaking and rafting . . . and a great place to just relax.

The Ahwahnee shines as Yosemite National Park’s distinctive AAA Four-Diamond hotel. Known for its magnificent façade,
and architecture, The Ahwahnee was specifically designed to highlight its natural surroundings, featuring Yosemite Falls,
Half Dome and Glacier Point. The destination of queens and presidents alike, The Ahwahnee offers a perfect balance of
history, hospitality and elegance.
In the early 1920's, Stephen Mather, the National Park Service Director, realized
that the Park needed accommodations to suit the affluent and influential traveler. The concept of a hotel such as The Ahwahnee
became the impetus to draw such a visitor.
The site for The Ahwahnee, once a village of the native Miwoks, was
chosen because of its exposure to the sun and stunning views of Yosemite's icons – Half Dome, Yosemite Falls and Glacier
Point.
In July 1925, Gilbert Stanley Underwood was selected as the architect for Yosemite's new luxury hotel.
Due to its remote location, the construction of The Ahwahnee was the most complex trucking endeavor of its day.
