Review & FAQ:

Located right next to Yosemite National Park in California, the Evergreen Lodge is an outdoor adventure getaway that provides a great base for exploring the north-western corner of the park. If you are looking for family summer vacations, this historic property offers a selection of guided activities, a program for kids and relaxing massages at the end of your active day. Guided outdoor activities include fly fishing, biking, touring, hiking, rafting, snowshoeing, geocaching and more. The hotel provides rentals, such as mountain bikes, GPS units, snowhoes and trekking poles.

If you want to go swimming or play tennis, visit the adjacent Camp Mather which offers a spring-fed lake with lifeguard on duty during the day, a swimming pool, tennis courts and acres of lawn for picnicking and sunbathing. There is a fee to enter the 350-acre family camp owned by the City of San Francisco. Designed for children ages 5 to 12, the Kid's Program varies by season and costs from $40 per child, including lunch or dinner. The property offers a selection of Yosemite cabins of different sizes, surrounded by 15 acres of tall pines. All cabins have private bathrooms, decks, heat and fans. There are, however, no phones and television to help you reconnect with nature.

There are complimentary Internet terminals in the Recreation Building and a TV in the Main Lodge. The restaurant offers three meals daily. Guests can dine in the dining room, at the bar and in the outdoor beer garden. In the evenings, the hotel offers a diverse selection of programs, such as movies, slide shows, live music and guest lectures. The lodge is a 3.5-hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area and 6 hours from Los Angeles, California.
