Your ultimate California Staycation filled with fresh air, relaxation, outdoor adventure, breathtaking scenery, creature comforts, and lifelong memories are right at Yosemite’s doorstep.  Rush Creek is the ideal ‘home away from home’ for your staycation.

Rush Creek Lodge is a 3-hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area along scenic Highway 120, the most direct route to Yosemite from the Bay Area, and open year-round. We are a superbly designed ‘destination within a destination,’ providing a relaxed yet sophisticated experience inspired by our 20-acre hillside setting adjacent to the Highway 120 West entrance to Yosemite National Park.

Rush Creek features a tastefully appointed mix of 143 Lodge Rooms and Hillside Yosemite Villas, as well as a variety of amenities for travelers including a Restaurant, Tavern, a saltwater pool, and two hot tubs, a game room, guest lounge, professionally guided adventures, and daily on-site activities.

The new Spa at Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite has been thoughtfully designed to mirror the wonders of Yosemite in a welcoming and innovative style, allowing every guest to choose their own journey towards relaxation, happiness, and rejuvenation.

RANGE OF OPTIONS

Given the grand nature of Rush Creek Lodge, guests are often surprised to find out that it was created by two Bay Area dads who continue to operate the lodge in a way that they like to share with their own family and friends (while using business as a force for good).

That’s why you’ll find that your room reservation has what you need for a spectacular Yosemite adventure, with no hidden Resort Fees.  From basics such as free parking and free Wi-Fi, to Pool Area access and use of the Fitness Center, to more robust delights like the Daily Activities organized by our onsite Recreation Team throughout our indoor and outdoor play areas, including everyone’s favorite – nightly fireside s’mores roasting! Plus, miles of nature trails in the adjacent forest.

That said, we know sometimes you want a few options to make things a touch more convenient, or a just hint extra.

Bed & Breakfast

This popular package provides the perfect kickstart to your day with a hearty mountain breakfast in our Restaurant, complete with freshly home baked good courtesy of our resident baker. See details on our B&B page or choose the “Bed and Breakfast Package Rate” when booking your room on this site.

Guided Tours

In keeping with Rush Creek’s values, you are encouraged to visit the Recreation Desk in the Guest lounge for free planning advice from our team of local experts. We’ve got plenty of maps and ideas for parties of all abilities and interests.

Or, maybe you’d prefer to let someone else take the wheel so you can kick back and enjoy the ride? Yes, you can!  We offer dozens of professionally guided excursions that will surprise and delight you. Visit our EXPLORE adventure planning page for ideas.
