Cabins near Yosemite

An exclusive enclave nestled on the grounds of the resort, our Explorer Cabins offer more than 500 square feet of living space located on beautifully forested acres with creek, alpine and meadow views. With access to a dedicated Clubhouse, guests can enjoy a wide variety of amenities to make the most of their Tenaya experience. The Explorer Cabins and Clubhouse are a ten minute walk from the main lodge along a pristine path.

Each cabin features extended space including two bedrooms, a living room to enjoy with loved ones, and a covered 90-square-foot porch to relax and delight in the view. Explorer Cabins also include a wet bar area with a compact fridge, microwave, and 10-cup coffee maker.

The Explorer Clubhouse

We’re making exciting enhancements to elevate your experience at Tenaya at Yosemite! The Clubhouse is currently offline through April 15, 2026, as we undergo a major transformation designed to make your future stays even more memorable. We’re thrilled to share that these renovations include:

  • Expanded clubhouse with enhanced spaces for relaxation and connection
  • New restaurant & bar offering fresh dining and beverage experiences
  • Outdoor pool complex

During this time, guest check-in for Explorer Cabins will take place at the Main Lodge. To ensure your stay remains just as enjoyable, we’ve added a few special touches for our cabin’s guests while the clubhouse is under renovation:

Breakfast at Parkside Deli

  • Available daily from 7:00am–10:00am
  • Cabin’s guests may choose from a selective breakfast menu (one breakfast per guest staying in each cabin)

Wine Offering

  • Upon arrival, each cabin will receive a complimentary bottle of wine, with a guest choice of red or white wine.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we refresh and enhance our space. We can’t wait to welcome you to an even better Tenaya experience!
