Sierra Meadows Hotel - Ahwahnee
37.363555, -119.700066Overview
3-star glamping resort on 200 acres near Yosemite National Park
Property Grounds and Outdoor Spaces
Sierra Meadows sits on over 200 acres that were once a golf course, now transformed into meadows with scenic trails and water features. Guests can borrow complimentary bicycles to explore the expansive grounds, which also hold unique art installations and sculptures throughout the property. Concrete pathways across the meadows make the resort a practical choice for walking with pets, with off-leash runs and no additional pet charges.
Accommodations and In-Room Comforts
The Sierra Meadows cabins offer air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms and garden views, plus tea and coffee makers in every unit. Accommodations range from Queen Studios and Tiny House Cabins to two-bedroom villas, some with full kitchens and private porches overlooking the meadows. Each cabin is powered by solar energy, and the filtered water provided in the cabins reduces the need for single-use plastic bottles.
On-Site Dining and Entertainment
The resort operates a minimarket stocked with snacks, drinks, and camping essentials at reasonable prices. Guests can enjoy on-site dining options that include house-brewed beer and gourmet cuisine, with a selection of wine or champagne available for purchase. Live music and stand-up comedy are scheduled on the property, and movie nights take place during the season.
Recreation and Wellness Facilities
A seasonal outdoor swimming pool with a view overlooks the clubhouse pond and comes with a shallow end, swimming pool toys, and sun loungers. The spa and jacuzzi facilities are open to all guests, and bike rentals are included at no additional cost for cycling on the former golf course trails. Fishing and hiking opportunities are available directly on the 150-acre property.
