"This a mainly a hostel a little further from Yosemite, but we were given a really nice room with a beautiful artistic canopy bed and decor. The restaurant was very nice. On our shared patio we met a couple of women staying in the next cabin. It had bunk beds and slept 4. You had to share a common refrigerator and microwave if needed with all of the hostel guests. Wonderful people from all over. It was a very pleasant stay."
