Yosemite Hotels? How much are you willing to pay for just one room?

Yosemite hotels are grand and magnificent, but they can also put a dent in your pocketbook. Particularly in peak season, you may spend the bulk of your vacation budget simply to secure a room if you can find one available at all. Remember, a Yosemite vacation rental or cabin can be a fine alternative to the cost of a fancy park hotel and the experience can be an especially memorable one.

Yosemite Hotels

Whether it's the Ahwahnee, the Wawona, the Yosemite Lodge, or any of the other hotel accommodations available within the park, you'll be shelling out a fair amount for the experience. The Ahwahnee and Yosemite Lodges, both in Yosemite Valley, the epicenter of tourist activities in the park, are particularly expensive; at the former, you may spend $400 or more for the privilege. Yosemite hotels come with a formidable price-tag. They're certainly magical and often history-drenched places but you can always appreciate them with an afternoon cocktail or light meal rather than spending all that money for lodging. You might consider what else you could be parting with your hard-earned dollars for to achieve a fulfilling Yosemite vacation: skiing, renting snowshoes, taking a guided tour, seeing the grand Sierra Nevada country from horseback - all sorts of adventures.

Yosemite Hotels Vs. Vacation Rentals

If Yosemite hotels seem a little pricey for your budget, think about the alternative possibilities offered by a Yosemite vacation rental: For a comparable or cheaper cost, you'll have a full cabin or house at your disposal, a true home away from home. A vacation rental can take your family holiday to the next spectrum of memory-making. Having multiple rooms to spread out the whole gang, enjoying a lively and fully stocked kitchen as the center of action, spreading out for board games or book-reading by the fire: A vacation rental offers the homey, convivial counterpoint to the expensive elegance of Yosemite hotels. In fact, if you do the comparison, you can actually rent a whole house for just about the same price per person!
