Big Trees Lodge

Yosemite National Park


This National Historic Landmark, dating from 1879, is a collection of six graceful, whitewashed New England–style buildings flanked by wide porches. The 104 rooms – with no phone or TV – have Victorian-style furniture and other period items, and about half the rooms share bathrooms, with nice robes provided for the walk there. Wi-fi is available in the annex building only.

The grounds are lovely and fairly idyllic on sunny spring days, with a spacious lawn dotted with Adirondack chairs.
