Best amenities for families with children with pool, jacuzzi, game rooms, camp fire s’more nights and spa! We had a blast enjoying both hiking all day at Yosemite and comfortable stay at Rush creek. Great location being 2 minutes to the Yosemite entrance, and super friendly staffs are other reasons to come back.”
