The rental cabin itself was nice and clean, everything working as it should, but a bit dusty on a lot of the top portions of the room, the check-in process was hectic, had walked into the office and had dogs barking, and was in the middle of a reception, was told to go to the bar area where the wedding reception was held in order to check in, but not who to talk to at all and was very confusing and offputting. Checkout was a lot smoother and straightforward

Nice place to stay when visiting Yosemite

Enjoyed our stay at Queen's Inn by the River. Comfortable bed, clean room, had everything we needed. Very nice staff. We had a room with a deck on back which is very nice and private. Well-kept grounds. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place near Yosemite

Charming cabin, pleasing property, free wine tasting. Restaurant and winery are great, owner has homeade bread for sale, and homeade cookies in our room when we checked in. Very close to Yosemite! Restaurant is popular with locals, always a good sign.

Queens Inn by the river was a gem. The room space was very large and accommodating. The snacks and coffee provided were amazing. The town was beautiful with lots of shops and places to explore. We wished we had stayed while the restaurant and winery were open, but perhaps next time. We would definitely visit again, Queens Inn by the river was awesome!

Quaint Inn near the southern entrance to Yosemite. If your looking for simple, CLEAN, safe and near Yosemite this is the place. Staff is friendly and helpful. The snacks provided were a nice surprise. Rooms have all the basics- Bed, Mini Fridge, Microwave and a nice deck with a patio table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee. Property has a cute wine bar and restaurant on site. We’ll definitely stay here again.

We loved our room! It was quaint, clean and perfect for two! The bed was comfortable, but unfortunately the pillows are awful!! Your head couldn’t sink in at all and we ended up taking the pillows out of the shams and used them. We would definitely stay again but I’d bring our own pillows.

Our room was comfortable, lovely and spacious, and the private patio with a table and chairs was a nice touch. We had our coffee out there every morning even though it was frosty outside. The views were worth it. The first night, our heat did not work, and neither did the fireplace. The next morning we were moved to another room, and between the heat and the fireplace we were toasty warm for the rest of our stay. (Staff offered to move us that night, but we were exhausted from traveling.) Overall, if you want quiet and convenience to town and Yosemite, the Queen's Inn is an excellent choice.

Wifi connection was terrible in my room. None of my devices could connect to the wifi. Called the staff but not helpful; said nothing else they could do but sorry. The wifi didn’t work for the whole time I stayed there. No daily cleaning. There were small bugs and ants in the room. I got some bites on my legs, not sure if that were bc of the ants or something else. Restroom smelled kinda bad. Too expensive for just a bed to stay, but it’s 14miles from the south entrance so that’s the price for it.
