The Cottages at Tenaya

Cottages near Yosemite National Park

Tucked among sugar pines and incense cedars, the Cottages at Tenaya offer a quieter way to experience Yosemite. Warm interiors and outdoor space create room to settle in and slow down — while full resort amenities remain a short walk away at the Lodge. Ideal for groups, multigenerational families, or guests eager to stay within easy reach of Sierra National Forest trails, this is where comfort feels personal and the forest feels close.

  • “A memorable father/son trip! The staff at Tenaya were extremely friendly and efficient.
    We started our day with a great breakfast cooked to order and served by some of the nicest servers. Our concierge recommended itineraries that worked well for us. Yosemite is a grand park! We enjoyed the pool, hot tubs, e-bikes and hiking. The spa was beautiful. The men’s locker room was equipped with steam and sauna and modern and clean.”

  • “The staff was friendly whether it was front desk, concierge, archery, or restaurants. The room was clean and spacious. The hotel grounds were beautiful and very close to the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. The hotel amenities were extensive and we took advantage of them including the pool, archery, climbing wall, and bikes. We also did a flashlight hike which we highly recommend.”

  • “This hotel has so many amenities (spa, multiple pools with whirlpools inside and out, archery lessons, free s’mores, telescope). I loved the guided Yosemite tour that picks you up in the front of the hotel. Friendly staff. Highly recommend”

  • “From the moment we were greeted by Mike in the breezeway to our departure the last day, the staff, amenities, food and service could not have been better. The resort offers many activities and it is also in close proximity to Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. The rooms are spacious and the bed was comfortable. We really enjoyed the food at Jackalope’s Grill and chose to eat there several times. My husband also took a glassblowing class which was fun. I would definitely like to go back.”

  • If you’re thinking about a trip with mixed company, some who like to go all out, some who want to turn in early or stay up late, this is the place for you! We had 31 people, kids and adults and stayed in the cabins near the [Clubhouse]. It was perfect. Something for everyone, and the breakfast and s’mores made every day start and end perfectly. But the cherry on top is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, start to finish. All of them! They just want you to have a good time. You won’t miss staying here. Just book it!
