This is an excellent that is close to the South Gate to Yosemite National Park and still close to all the restaurants in Oakhurst.The employees are great here. We always had excellent service. The breakfast in the mornings was great.The rooms were nice, well maintained, and clean. The bed was comfortable, and the room was quiet for a refreshing night's sleep.They also have 2 Tesla chargers and 1 standard level 2 charger that was free to use.

Stayed here for our Yosemite trip in late February. Couldn t recommend this place enough, the hotel staff was incredibly friendly and room had everything you could need. The included breakfast was the cherry on top (way better than any hotel breakfast I ve had). The drive to the South Gate entrance of the park was only 25 ish minutes! Plenty of restaurants around and close to bass lake.

Room is quaint with some nice amenities in the room for a bed and breakfast. Undergoing renovations but didn t hear them during most of stay.Main registration/common area is very nice. Wine, fruit and cheese offering in the evening was nice and gave a great chance to meet other travelers. Breakfast was very good with a variety of offerings.Private room with a private bathroom.I would not consider this luxury but it s a bed and breakfast so maybe more of what you d expect from that.Close to Yosemite south entrance so was great for us.

This is a great place to stay for Yosemite, being only a short drive away from the park entrance.When you arrive you're told to treat it like your home. There's coffee in the common room area, where you have breakfasts. There's food always out if you want to snack too. And there's definitely that homely feel to it.The room was good and the bed comfortable. But it was a little tired and the whirlpool bath a little odd to see! That's not to detract from the overall experience but a little work on the rooms and this would be amazing.Driving down into Hounds Tooth Inn is easy. Getting out is a little sketchy if you want to head into Oakhurst. You're just after quite a hard right turn, which means that traffic coming out of town is on top of you very quickly.We'd love to return to Yosemite and Hounds Tooth is definitely top of our list for somewhere to stay.

Derek and Tammie were very hospitable. If you are looking for a welcoming, clean,professional environment this is the place to stay.I was able to book this hidden gem due to a horrible experience elsewhere so do not make the mistake and think twice about hounds tooth in!Great breakfast and great afternoon assortment of food and wine! Also great cookies!Rooms: The rooms are large and clean. The bathrooms are very clean and sanitary. Each room is equipped with the essentials plus some and well thought out.Nearby activities: Yosemite is not far. I do not recommend eating at El Rey. This restaurant gave my partner food poison and my meal was less than satisfactory.Safety: You will feel safe during your stay. Very quite and even saw a handful of newborns during our visit. This showed me that many mothers did their homeworkWalkability: Didn t walk to stores but there are places less then .5 of a mile. The location has plenty of land if you are looking for a strollFood & drinks: Best food during our visit. Great coffee ,pastries, and breakfast. Amazing assortment during evening reception. You can tell the staff value customer service.Noteworthy details: Very welcome and friendly. Clean and luxurious.

Markets itself as a luxury hotel - when it just isn t. We paid $276 a night but at best it s a $100 value hotel. We raised our concerns with the staff member on duty in the morning before we left - from her reaction we aren t the first people to feel this way at all. Look elsewhere first!Rooms: Average rooms, clean but for $276 a night I would expect a shower that works, lights that aren t out and missing fixtures and fittings.

My husband and I had reservations for 2 nights in sequoia and 2 nights in Yosemite. But changed plans to get close to Yosemite for our 2nd night. I googled lodging outside YNP and LUCKILY came across Hound Tooth Inn. Absolutely the cleanest, most comfortable place we ve ever stayed. Check in was fast and very easy. The rooms are spotless and have ever you need. The reception was fun and the food and wine delicious. I will stay here every time we visit Yosemite.

We had amazing time at Hounds tooth inn, small cute & Cozy hotel nearby Yosemite. Room was very clean, area was beautiful, everything was close by, there s even a good indian Resturant by 4 minutes drive ( other food chains as well including subway).Breakfast was delicious, it was the best breakfast we had on our two week s trip.What actually stood out was front desk Manager Myra, she was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. She made us feel very comfortable and at home.Would definitely be staying here if we plan to come back to Yosemite or nearby area.

Customer service is hands down 10/10! I am so appreciative of the amazing staff at Hounds Tooth Inn. I had a situation where I had to communicate with Hounds Tooth Inn and my 3rd party reservation system which involved several back and forth and back and forth calls. The manager at Hounds Tooth Inn was so understanding, patient, and helpful in the situation and I am so thankful and grateful! Hounds Tooth Inn takes cares of their customers and I highly recommend them to everyone!

This was such an amazing experience! This B&B is only about 30 minutes from the Yosemite park entrance and it s so cute! We booked the room with a fireplace, at the last minute I decided I wanted a hot tub but the inn was fully booked so I decided to just take a tub and even that was wonderful! The staff is super friendly and very helpful, they really go above and beyond here! We had a leftover pizza and the staff let us use the oven to heat it up. There is breakfast set out in the morning (7-10) before your Yosemite adventure and even snacks and water bottles you can take with you! In the evening (6-8) they have charcuterie and wine for guests to unwind and mingle with each other. They have 2 Tesla chargers, one wasn t working when we arrived but by the next morning they had it fixed, plus one universal EV charger. I will definitely be telling all of my friends and family about this inn if they ever come to Yosemite and we will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay!

This place is luxurious at a reasonable price. The rooms are CLEAN and COMFORTABLE. The only gripe, if you call it that, was the water pressure in my room was lacking in the shower. The breakfast was sensational.The staff was helpful, very friendly, professional and present. I appreciate the conversation with Myra who took the time to talk with me about my travels and listen. Thank you!You will pay about $100 more than the average commercial property, but it's worth it, especially if you get there during the day and are able to enjoy the relaxing qualities of the property. Unfortunately I didn't get there until later in the evening.

Nothing but perfection! Booked it for my parents and they had wonderful time while staying at this hotel. Great selection of breakfast food from hot dishes to cold selection. Very nice ambiance for wine hour, with good selection of cheeses, baked goods, etc. Would highly recommend this place for anyone who is visiting Yosemite Park! Amazing staff, service and location!

We stayed there for one night on our trip from Yosemite to the Death Valley and we absolutely loved it. We arrived to a very nice receptionist and a tray full of freshly baked cookies. The room was very spacious, spotless and the fireplace made it even cozier. The bed was really comfortable.The staff is excellent and friendly and the service is great. There are several options for breakfast and it s included. We had omelettes with fresh vegetables, fresh squeezed orange juices and two coffees. Not only was it delicious but also it was served by the chef himself and he was really nice. Everything about this inn is so nice! We highly recommend it. If we ever come back to Yosemite we ll definitely stay there again!

This is an OK Bed & Breakfast that is overprices. One of the big features of our room advertised in both the name of the room and pictures was the jacuzzi tub. My wife loves jacuzzi tub baths and was looking forward to it after hiking in the park. Unfortunately, the tub would not fill with water. The stopper was not the issue, but the water flowed out the pump input area so they tub would only fill with 1.5 inches of water. We told different staff several times, but they showed a general indifference, did not attempted to fix the tub and did not offer any credit even though they are charging extra for this feature. The grounds are not very pretty nor interesting, and there was very little comfortable outdoor seating. The only comfortable outdoor seating looks over an area that is not too nice. Lastly, on the negative side, the room provided slippers, but no bathrobe, which we thought was strange.On the positive side: One young gentleman was quite helpful upon our arrival in storing some large luggage we had. We thought the reception had very nice appetizers and good wine offerings. The breakfast was very large and delicious. Unfortunately, we had a large late dinner the night before and we were not very hungry to each much of our breakfast.

Great place! We stayed here one night during our honeymoon because the cabin we had, nearby in the Redwoods was horrible. (Small and with stains in the carpet etc)We loved our room, the jacuzzi and the warm welcome we got. How nice to find a handwritten welcome and some freshly cookies on the bed. And how nice to find wine and nibbles in the restaurant around 6. Perfect! Thanx for a lovely time!

My new husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon trip to Yosemite, and it was just perfect! Everyone was very friendly, the room was so nice and clean (we sprang for the suite with the hot tub and fireplace, highly recommend), and I cannot say enough good things about the chef, Jesse. Breakfast every morning was such a treat and it was always amazing. The only thing that I would change is adding curtains in the rooms since we woke up when the sun came up every day.

My friends and I stayed here recently and we loved it! We needed a place close to Yosemite National Park and this hotel was perfect. It s proximity to restaurants and cafes downtown help made the trip even smoother! The room was clean and comfortable, and staff was receptive to our needs no matter when we asked. Can t wait to come back!

We stayed there on our trip to Yosemite and loved it. We were in the Summerhouse which was spacious, spotless, great view, had a nice queen bed with comfortable bedding. Lots of details which included water, coffee, robes, slippers, bath bombs, even a special make-up towel to remove makeup.The staff was excellent with great service and friendly. They served a free breakfast with several choices. I had Artichoke goat cheese frittata and my husband had an amazing breakfast sandwich with fresh squeezed orange juice. Everything was so nice and I recommend it!

Small an luxury hotel of the world indeed. The hotel has only 12 different room. Staffs are lovely and helpful.Waters and sandwiches in the fridge are available 24 hrs.Privacy is luxury. I would love to come again.

This was such a lovely place to stay the night before a Yosemite reservation began. It's a 25min drive into the park through the South Gate entrance into the Wawona area, but there are usually lines to contend with, so it's still something to consider about staying outside the park. That said, the room was clean and cozy, the reception staff friendly, and the location nearby gas stations, groceries, and restaurants.

Such a cute and comfy bed and breakfast! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights when we were visiting Yosemite. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The staff were also super friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Also the food was great! No complaints

Really clean, nice place. Stayed in two rooms over two nights, both had a jacuzzi spa tub that was awesome. Lots of windows, good climate control, and comfy beds. Super clean. The breakfast was awesome and made to order from a different selection every day with vegan and vegetarian options. About an hour or so from the Yosemite Valley, which is about as close as you can get to the Valley without staying inside the park itself. Oakhurst is a cool little town with nice places to eat and the drive to Yosemite is okay, though very winding roads, but that entrance through the tunnel is the best way to enter for the amazing view right out of the gate. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

The perfect place to stay if you re planning a trip to Yosemite or if you just need a sweet getaway . The staff was extremely kind and helpful throughout the entire booking process and stay. The room was SO comfortable featuring a king bed, fireplace, and a jacuzzi tub. After a long day of hiking, we came back to relax and especially enjoyed the wine hour featuring delicious homemade snacks and wine. Homemade breakfast in the morning was a plus too! We will recommend this place to everyone we know visiting Yosemite, and we hope to return in the future! Absolutely adored every aspect of it. As my husband said this place is a 10/10!

We stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it! Our room was quite spacious, cozy, and absolutely clean. The breakfast was delicious with much more variation than the typical hotel breakfast you get everywhere (fresh fruit salad, eggs, frittata, etc). We also enjoyed the complimentary wine and tapas/snacks in the evening. All staff were super friendly as well. Really recommend staying here if you want to to visit Yosemite or the area!

This is not your traditional B&B, and somehow I came away from the website expecting it to be a B&B.. We like to stay at B&B's in order to get to know our hosts and fellow guests while enjoying a more cozy atmosphere. That is not what you'll find here, as this is actually a 12 room small luxury hotel. Don't get me wrong, it is very nice, albeit a bit expensive. Book through online venues to save some money. The general manager, while very nice and friendly, was also the chef, so he stayed quite busy. The atmosphere was not conducive to good conversations between guests. It was more like that of a breakfast room at a Hampton Inn. The food was much more DELICIOUS, but the atmosphere of a true B&B was missing, not surprising since it's actually an hotel. Our room was spacious, very clean and well stocked. The bed was a bit firm for our tastes, but it didn't keep us from sleeping. It was conveniently located near the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park.
