SOME HONORABLE MENTIONS WE LOVED:
Jack Frost on Black Bird Pond by Noel S.
NS: “It snowed a little last night!
All of your staff were so friendly and really went out of their way to be helpful. Everything was wonderful! We had so much fun!”
Rush Creek Rainbow by Joanne K.
JK: “I was a little bummed that the weather forecast for one of the two days that we were scheduled to stay at Rush Creek called for rain. I stepped out onto our balcony and was treated to the biggest, most dazzling rainbow I had ever seen. Just goes to show that you should always look on the bright side – that rainbow and a relaxing afternoon spent in your spa was one of the best rainy days I’ve had in a long while. Thanks!
Loved the property and proximity to Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite can’t be beat. Rooms were well appointed and the front desk and tavern staff were friendly and attentive. We had a fantastic stay!”
Starry Night by Ali T.
AT: “The place where stars feel like they are within reach. ❤️
Rush Creek holds a special place in our hearts. I still remember the smell of the air when we stepped out of our vehicle. We checked in close to midnight, after a long day of traveling and the moment we arrived I knew it would be nearly impossible to leave. Everything about our trip was perfect!”
