I enjoyed my one-night stay at Big Meadow Lodge. The location is good for a Yosemite visit. On the pro side: the wood paneling and high ceiling are very homey, this is the only motel I've stayed in recently that actually has enough well-placed electrical outlets, the towels are thick, clean, and nice, the room has a microwave, refrigerator, coffee-maker, coffee and tea, everything is very clean, wifi speeds are good, the hot water is plentiful, there are nice warm blankets. The checkout procedure is very informal, which is nice, just drop the key in a box outside the office. Overall, it's a nice place for the price, I'd stay there again.

We stayed for 1 night at the small cosy house which was stayed separately from others. The place is very clean and well equipped. I’d say the best among motels we’ve stayed during our trip. All shower facilities, hairdryer, even heater at the bath (it was very useful as in November nights are cold). Besides coffee machine there were a teapot (that’s the only place where we had it). And couple of rabbits at the yard early morning as a bonus))

I stayed here with my husband and our 2 children. The room exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and cute. There was a coffee maker and waters in the room which was a plus! This would be a great place for individuals who enjoy the outdoors, fishing, and hunting!

Michelle, United States of America

The room temperature was comfortable considering its location during that time of year.

Kevin, United States of America

It was cozy and quiet. An extreme value! I enjoyed the personal fire pit just outside my room and free wood to burn.

Christopher, United States of America

I have stayed here a few times and each time it has been nice. the staff are helpful and friendly, the room clean and comfortable. You are outside of town, but it does offer a incredible view for any trouble. Plus they have a coffee machine in each room which i appreciate, because you can make your own and go. overall i love this place and recommend it.

Robert, United States of America

The rooms were very well kitted, with a lot of thought having gone in. Owner managed, which is good, too. Very convenient for visiting Bodie State Park.

Kumiko, United Kingdom

Beds were comfortable. Room was quiet. Great view of the mountains after the smoke from the fire was gone. Liked HBO channel on t.v.

Gordon, United States of America

Absolutely loved it - lovely room - bed and pillows were so comfortable. Really quiet - would definitely recommend.

Rhonda, United Kingdom

In a wonderful location between Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. A real paradise for fishing enthusiasts, thanks also to the neighbors Virginia lakes. Good value for money.

“Nice motel for the price”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 1 night
The con side is much more minor: there are doors between adjoining rooms and a slight amount of TV noise can be heard if the neighbors have it turned up loud, though I wasn't disturbed by it. Also, a fan on the heater might be nice so the heat was distributed a bit better, but again, this wasn't a problem, as the heat did end up distributing well.

It was getting cold quite fast when you would stop the heating, then again, it was a very cold night we stayed.
The staff were very friendly. Room was clean and bed was also good. The location is perfect for visiting Bodie, also the village is very close by for going for dinner. It was very silent in the night.

- • Double Room with Two Double Beds
- • Stayed 1 night
The walls were thin so I could hear conversations from neighbors on both sides. The mattress was too soft for my comfort and made it difficult to sleep. The room MAY have had a lot of traces from other dogs or something. My dog was bothered by something in that room which was a factor since she kind of kept me from sleeping. The internet was not good at all during the night. When I woke up in the morning to check E/M, people had gotten off and I was able to check.
The room temperature was comfortable considering its location during that time of year.
