Lillaskog Lodge: Family Friendly Ridge Top Lodge, Near Yosemite

Venue was even more beautiful than the pictures! The view is so perfect and it was so perfect for our wedding. Still 5 stars but I will say the rose bushes did need to be trimmed a little since there were quite a few that were dead.

We booked a 2 night stay for a party of 15 for my birthday weekend. What we had in mind was a peaceful and quiet environment away from it all, and that’s what it really felt like.we loved it.The sunrise and sunset were absolutely breathtaking The house is exactly as described in the booking and there was more than enough room for everyone. Extra roll out beds were available in each room, just in case and that was a convenient amenity because the kids wanted to bunk all together in the big room on top floor. We also booked an in house breakfast spread for one of the mornings we were there and it was great. Two cooks came out early and had a beautiful breakfast spread ready for our group for when we woke up. The spread was displayed beautifully and had everything from French toast, eggs frittata, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, hashbrowns, fresh fruit, croissants and muffins, bagels an freshly ground coffee. It was definitely a great plus to our stay.The host was very communicative and I never had an issue trying to get a hold of her. Answered all questions and concerns and with no confusion about anything during our stay. Five stars all around. Thank so much!

Amazing host! Had such a wonderful time as we used this space for a family reunion. Such beautiful scenery and views! Such a spacious area, house was stock with kitchen supplies, board games and even televisions in every room. We brought our dogs along as well and the area was perfect for them! Will definitely be back!

Lillaskog Lodge is a wonderful place for any sort of trip or retreat. We did our annual Friendsgiving here with 6 families with kids, and it had everything we needed and more.The well stocked and large kitchen (two ovens and sinks!) was an absolute delight. Gorgeous views as well!

We had an amazing stay!! Beautiful views ! The owners were very helpful and communicative!!

We really enjoyed our time at Lillaskog Lodge. There was plenty of space for our group of 9 and we enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen including grills and blackstone, board games, and meteor showers as watched in the Adirondack chairs. The swimming pond and waterfall only five minutes away were amazing. The temperature was over 100 while we were there and would have appreciated additional AC and ventilation, specifically in the downstairs bedrooms. There were hair driers missing in at least one bathroom and the drier was working intermittently. The dishwasher also stopped working and the owners responded quickly. Scott the groundsman was very attentive to our needs and was always happy to answer any of our questions. There was grocery shopping close but restaurants are limitted. The Park entrance was 15 minutes away but hiking and many attractions required drives of 1-2 hours. Overall it was a really great week in a beautiful part of the country. We would give a 9/10 rating.

The lodge was everything we were looking for. Beautiful location and removed from high traffic areas of Yosemite. Took my HS cross country team there for the week and it was a perfect base camp for all activities in the area. Hosts were exceptional.

The lodge had more than enough space for our family of 17 plus a small pup. Not a 5-star hotel but it had everything we needed to make our two-night stay comfortable and the great room had holiday decorations which was nice. The wi-fi was spotty at times but that was expected given the location. Our favorite parts were the amazing mountain views and the proximity to Yosemite National Park. We had 3 SUVs and also appreciated the plenty of parking space inside the property. Liza and Tom were incredibly responsive when we had questions and we also met some of the staff when we were departing who were very nice! Our group enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back here again.

Kids and adults like this wood house, great for groups and they have all we need for cooking—nice and warm inside.

I have mixed emotions about this property. It is a nice large house that needs some love. Definitely not a 10 out of 10 that some reviewers gave it. Pros: We had six adults and six children and had plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to cook for a group. The sunsets, sunrises and star gazing were amazing and we loved our evenings outdoors. Cons: Air conditioning is by room air conditioners. None in the basement bedrooms (4). Very warm our first night there. Mice and mice droppings, but we are in the forest so.. Two smoke alarms started beeping in the night two out of four nights staying. I think that could have been prevented by maintenance. Property manager responded quickly and replaced batteries both times. Most of the bedroom furniture drawers don't open. Two of the bathrooms have showers in claw foot tubs that are very treacherous. Low water pressure in upstairs bathroom. High water pressure in basement bathrooms.
