Tin Lizzie Inn at Yosemite

We had such a lovely couple of days at the Tin Lizzie, celebrating our anniversary and using the inn as our base for hiking in Yosemite. Sheran and David are amazing hosts, able to accommodate all requests. They clearly have thought through the details of the rooms very carefully - a perfect blend of Victorian grace with modern comfort. We were sorry that our vacation came to an end. We highly recommend a stay at the Tin Lizzie Inn.

This immaculate inn is run with every care and consideration by Sheran and David who are justifiably proud of the highest standards of comfort and food that they provide. Just 2 miles from the southern entrance to Yosemite, it is in a great location. Add to this David's passion for his Model T Ford and you have an added bonus during your stay. Relatively expensive but for a short stay it's worth it. We loved the two floor cottage style accommodation, the varied breakfasts and our hosts willingness to provide best advice whenever sought.

Thank you, it was a pleasure getting to know you and serving you. David & Sheran

The only thing we didn't like about Tin Lizzie was leaving. Sheran and David are a match made in heaven and they make your stay heavenly. Their victorian B&B is charming and spotless clean. Not only were the breakfasts outstanding but Sheran worked so hard to accommodate my eating preferences. Sheran and David have wonderful stories to tell and great advice about seeing Yosemite. Taking a ride in one of David's Model T's was the cherry on the sundae. One suggestion-go to Tenaya Lodge for dinner. It is right down the street in walking distance and there are plenty of options for delicious food at reasonable pictures. Tin Lizzie was one of our all time favorite stays!

How delightful to hear your comments, I think we want to meet these people. Hope to see you again.

We had a fantastic experience at the Tin Lizzie Inn. Sheron and Dave were the quintessential host and hostess. We stayed in the upstairs room, which was actually the entire second floor with a private balcony. The home has a wonderful Victorian charm and is loaded with amazing antiques. This is not your usual 'old victorian' though, it is brand new construction with totally modern appliances, heated flooring and fabulous bathrooms! The rooms are bright and sunny, the breakfasts were delicious, and the ride in the Model T was the icing on the cake. We highly recommend this Inn and we are hoping to return in the future.

Thank you, I am glas your enjoyed your suite and stay with us, hope to see you again soon.

Excellent accomodations in the carriage house for a family of four. Very quiet, private and peaceful. Wonderful and personable people who really care about you and your stay. They are very eager to ensure you thoroughly enjoy your stay with them and provide excellent recommendations of things to do. The located is great, right across the street from the Tenaya and is about 3 miles from the Yosemite southern entrance. I am glad we did not stay in the park as it was too crowded.

My wife and I chose Tin Lizzie for its convenience. After spending two nights, we would seek it out for a vacation in its own right. The room and bath were wonderful; the food,excellent; the converstaions, interesting and entertaining. Sheran and David were wonderful hosts. Mark and Linda

The Tin Lizzie is a great bed and breakfast! Sheran and David are very nice hosts, you can tell how much they care about making each guest's stay special. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated in a Victorian style. The breakfasts were the best food we had on our entire trip. The location can't be beat, just 3 miles from the entrance to Yosemite.

My wife and our adult son and daughter stayed at Tin Lizzie's Carraige House. It was the perfect size for our family of four. The home was spotless, had everything we needed and Sheran and David were great hosts. We will return again and will reccommend them to anyone that we know that will be visiting Yosemite.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom house which is located next to the B&B. It was brand new with generous accomodation, king sized beds, large kitchen and laundry facilities. The owners made us very welcome. David took us out in his cars which was a highlight of our stay. Fish camp is 30 miles from Yosemite valley but close to Bass Lake which our children preferred. Our houe was self catering but Sheren gave us some provisions on our arrival and there was a local store close by. We had a great time and would recommend it without hesitation.

Our stay at Tin Lizzie was absolutely perfect! We couldn't have asked for anything more. The suite is large and beautiful and every detail is attended to, even ones you would never think of. The owners, Sheran and David, are the most gracious of hosts and obviously take much love and pride in their beautiful bed and breakfast. Our breakfasts and afternoon treats were delicious. Breakfast was three delicious courses each day and served in a beautiful setting with such elegance! Again, I can't say enough good things. We loved our time here. We rented a Model A for the day and driving through Yosemite in such style is something neither of us will ever forget. We will definitely recommend Tin Lizzie to our friends, and can't wait to return ourselves! Ron and Christie Camin

The Tin Lizzie is a small b&b two miles from the south entrance to Yosemite in a quiet residential neighborhood. We stayed in the two story cottage that was next to the house but had a separate outside entrance. The house, though built in the last 10 years is full of Victorian antiques, and period stained glass windows and lighting fixtures. The place is immaculately clean, the breakfasts and evening treats are nice and very filling and David and Sheran are gracious hosts. Sheran made lunch reservations for us at the Awanhee, and David took us for a ride around he area in his model T as well as let us drive a Model A one afternoon. This is a great place for couples.

Great place to stay, the friendliest of people. Model T rides are great fun.

My new wife and I decided to spend our honeymoon in Yosemite National Park and found the cozy and comfortable Tin Lizzie Inn. I must say that our stay was nothing short of spectacular. David and Sheran, the Innkeeper, are truly wonderful. They are kind, warm and very inviting and friendly folks. The place is truly beautiful and the stay was perfect. Since we had just gotten married, Sheran welcomed us with flowers adorning our room. My wife just LOVED this. Sheran event preserved my wife's wedding bouquet. In short, everything about our stay was truly phenomenal and memorable!!!!!

The Inn is every bit as quaint as it appears; has lovely rooms filled with antiques. David and Sheran are exceptional hosts who made our stay wonderful. The ride in the Model T was a highlight of the stay for me.

We stayed at the Tin Lizzie recently for 2 nights we enjoyed it immensely. The room, food and company exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend it to our friends and family.

We stayed three nights at the Tin Lizzie in early September and were wowed by the friendliness of David and Sheran, the inn's lovely antique furnishings, and its cleanliness. David will even drive you to local (Fish Camp) restaurants for dinner in his Model A or Model T Fords! We felt pampered by our hosts and would have loved to stay longer at this first-class B&B. It sets a new standard that we will have to measure other inns by! J & J

Having just returned from 4 nights at The Tin Lizzie, I can't speak highly enough of the Inn, the delightful breakfasts, location and above all the unbeatable level of hospitality provided by both David and Sheran. They really set an unbeatable standard and should be proud of what they've achieved with this gorgeous property. We stayed in the Suite and it exceeded our expectations. After staying away frequently on business, it was refreshing to stay in 5 star surroundings with the feel of being 'at home'. I hope we'll be back and recommend this Inn to anyone who wants pampering in a beautiful part of the world. Mr and Mrs Canning, UK

We stayed at the Tin Lizzie during August 2011 and David and Sheran the hosts made one of the most enjoyable stays of our trip. This unique guest house is ideally situated for Yosemite and surrounding areas. The house itself was charming as were the hosts who also served a wonderful and varied breakfast each morning, especially given that I have gluten intolerance which did not appear to phase Sheran creating the most enjoyable food.W&J England

The quality of the accomodation was outstanding in all respects. David & Sheeran could not do enough to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. They gave us good information on the local attractions and sites, the trips in the Model T & Model A cars were fantastic and the breakfast each morning was something to look forward to. Highly recommended.

The Inn is beautiful, David and Sharon make you feel like family seeing to all of your needs, the location is amazing outside of Yosemite and the model T and Model A cars are so fun to drive.

Had a great weekend at the Tin Lizzie Inn. Nice to be outside Yosemite Valley but close enough to explore when you want. David and Sheron are great hosts and their home is beautiful. Breakfasts were delicious and the little unexpected treats of lucious desserts were a very special touch. Loved the ride in the Model T-highlight of our trip!

As I expected the accomodations were wonderful and the close proximity to Yosemite was very convenient. But what sets the Tin Lizzie Inn apart from other lodgings are the owners, David and Sheran Woodworth. They take a personal interest in all of their guests and do whatever they can to make sure your vacation is truly memorable. Whether you are or not, you will be treated like family. I would recommend the Tin Lizzie Inn to anyone who wants a vacation that they will remember for the rest of their lives. It has certainly been true for us.

Thank you very much Sheran and David for a wonderful time in Yosemite!!! Your hospitality is outstanding. You maintain your property extremely well, you help plan our outings to the park. We appreciated you going the extra mile. The house is amazing, it has everything you would want and more. Your attention to the details made our trip a true vacation, the late night smores, the car ride and especially the warm bathroom floors. The memory of the ride in the MODEL "T" car will last forever.

They just opened up a new addition to their Inn and it's fabulous! A 2 bedroom/2 full bath home. Our family just stayed there and had such a nice, cozy, time. We were able to cook in the full kitchen and BBQ downstairs. Just perfect for a family or two couples. Everything is upgraded and beautifully decorated. I will not stay anywhere else again! We got a ride in their Model T Ford too. So fun! David and Sheran are so hospitable and made our trip extra special. Thanks so much!

David and Sheran are kind, wonderful inn keepers who will attend to your every need. While we were very busy hiking and seeing the sights of Yosemite, they were always available to assist us and make out stay memorale. I would highly suggest this inn.

Our stay at the Tin Lizzie Inn Bed and Breakfast was wonderful, over and above any of our expectations. The host and hostess, David and Sheran are truly unbelievable genuine people treating you more like old friends instead of guests they have just met. The accomodations are spotless, detailed and beautiful, the food is excellent and the service is Royal. One of the highlights of our stay was the rental of a Tin Lizzie Ford touring car for our trip through Yosemite. An adventure of the past and the Best way to see the sights as there are no obstructions to block your view. It was surprisingly easy to drive and so much fun. They are well maintained and David makes sure you understand all aspects of the car before you venture out. We highly Recommend this Unique and Exciting experience. You will walk away with a greater sense of what your ancestors drove and a deeper appreciaton for Henry Ford. Our stay was Delightful, Over the Top. A Sheer Pleasure to Repeat and Enjoy over and over again. Julie, Dayna and Dawn...Castro Valley, Ca.

The Inn is just two miles outside the South entrance to Yosemite. From there, you can drive through the park, or take advantage of bus/tram service to see the sights (spectacular!). We stayed in the "cottage". This room has its own private entrance, a sitting room, and a mastersuite with private bath. Satellite TV and wireless access made it possible to get a little work done, too. Sheran and David are wonderful, personable hosts. They are attentive to detail, and happy to provide any assistance you'll need. Sheran makes a killer breakfast, and left afternoon snacks in our room every day. David took us on a tour in one of his Model T's, showed us the sights, and told some great stories. The morning we left, we found him outside cleaning our windshield! We really enjoyed our stay....I'm sure you will too!

We loved our stay at Tin Lizzie. It has a great location ... just outside the park and is closed to a number of good eats. We arrived quite late on our first night but David and Sheran were still up and made us feel welcome. They both made sure that we had everything we needed before we went to bed. The room we stayed in was amazing. The bed was so comfortable and I think we both fell asleep the moment our heads hit the pillow. There was a wide selection of DVDs that we could watch, the room was fully stocked with soda and water and each day Sheran had placed a delicious snacky treat in our rooms that we devoured as soon as we returned from our trip to Yosemite. We loved the food that was served for breakfast and the assistance both Dave and Sheran gave us in planning in our visit to Yosemite. We will definitely be staying at the Tin Lizzie again when we return to Yosemite. We will be recommending this place to all of our friends. 10 out 10 ... full marks ... 5 stars etc etc Dave and Liz Guild Sydney Australia

My husband and I just spent three nights at the Tin Lizzie. Sheron and David, the owners are the most wonderful hosts imaginable. The cottage was stunning...fireplace...cushy bathrobes....a dessert treat each night when we returned to our room. Breakfasts were elegant and delicious. (I asked for and received one of the recipes). The best thing..we were there during the NBA finals and were going out to dinner one night when the game was on We watched the first half and then had to leave. Sheron offered to tape the second half in her living room and told us to come in to watch when we returned. It was one of the most exciting games ever and we would have missed it. I can't say enough about the Tin Lizzie. Myra and Kenny

This was our second stay at the Tin Lizzie Inn, we had a great time and we will definitely go back again.

The Tin Lizzie exceeded our expectations on every level. David and Sheran are the most entertaining and dedicated hosts we have ever met. Every detail was delivered to perfection and the Model T ride made the Tin Lizzie a most memorable and magnificent destination discovery!

Our stay at the Tin Lizzie Inn was a fantastic memorable experience. The owners, David and Sheran, are truly what make this bed and breakfast exceptional. Their hospitality and charm made you feel like you were visiting old friends who are truly glad that you have come to visit. When we pulled up to the Inn David met us at the car to take our luggage before we even had time to open the car doors. The Inn is incredible with its antique furnishings, unique collections, and modern luxuries. Each morning began with a delicious full gourmet breakfast with extremely attentive service. What truly made this an experience we will never forget is that we toured Yosemite in one of David’s restored antique cars. The 1931 Model A Ford Cabriolet is similar to my Dad’s first car. For Dad to have an opportunity to drive a car similar to the one he had at 16 was a thrill we were privileged to share and so much fun. The views from the convertible were fantastic. David accompanied us in a 1929 Model A Roadster showing us the highlights of Yosemite Valley, providing us with history and details about our locations, showing us where to stop for the most magnificent views, and taking pictures of us that created memories that will last a lifetime. To make the experience complete Sheran baked cookies and served cold lemonade when we returned. We were truly sorry to have to leave our new friends and their fantastic Tin Lizzie Inn.

We visited the Tin Lizzie Inn this summer and found it to be the best B&B we have ever visited. Every element of our stay was wonderful and expressed such tremendous hospitality. We were pampered from start to finish, from a ride in their Model T car to the Tenaya Inn for dinner the first evening we arrived to incredible breakfasts and treats. We stayed in the cottage which was fabulously decorated yet still cozy and inviting. But as wonderful as the inn is, it is the innkeepers that made our stay extra special. David and Sheran were so warm and thoughtful – thanks to them, we felt welcomed like old family friends even though this was the first time we had ever met them. They are very interesting people – we found ourselves lingering over breakfast, enjoying talking with them. They express so much care in everything they do. We plan to recommend this inn to our friends.

I took my wife up to the Tin Lizzie the weekend after our wedding and was blown away. The pictures and reviews on here do not do it justice! The host and hostess were extremely friendly and greeted us at the door as promised! The model T ride as great and the they recommended and reserved great local food as well. With it being so close to Yosemite we were able to go there on Saturday and not have it take the whole day to get there! Highly recommended!

This is the best bed & breakfast I have been to in all of CA. The owners are the niceset people and make you feel so at home. The food is superb and the rooms have so much elegant detail. Driving a Model A or Model T car through Yosemite is also a one-of-a-kind experience!

Everything was class A. Will recommend to others and will stay again.

This place is just the best. We will be going back the next time we want a quiet luxurious getaway. Hospitality PLUS. Sheran and David make you feel like old friends while they pamper you in their lovely home. I can't recommend this place enough.

It was such a lovely place. The hosts were superb! The whole experience was just a joy! We want to go back, and the Model T ride was fun.

A perfect place for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation! felt we were sitting at the Queen's table! Elegant, at the same time homey! We'd go again.

I happened to stumble upon this place when I had to make a business trip to Yosemite. Arrived a bit after 7pm and the couple greeted me at my car. Very welcoming; felt like I was staying at a family friends house for the night. I stayed in the cottage and the details were so delightful. Fireplace, tv, sodas and snacks were displayed. I had a private entrance and could leave without intrusion to the main house. The bedding was very comfortable and the back patio was so peaceful. Wish I could have stayed longer! Breakfast was very nice and the stories told -wonderful. I will be back for my anniversay and will reccommend this b&b to everyone I know when visiting Yosemite. Also, super convenient - across the street from the Tenya Lodge (restaurants, shopping and spa).

The Tin Lizzy Inn surpassed our greatest expectations. Sharon and David's hospitality are unmatched. Our room was spacious, well appointed, and clean. I have very high standards but felt very comfortable. highly recommend this inn!

My husband and I enjoyed 2 days of pampering, and enjoyment driving around Yosemite in a Model A. The room accommedations were beautifully designed, very spacious, and spotlessly clean. The breakfast menu was very delicious and it held us until dinner time with no need for lunch. The hospitality was so entertaining, that we did not want to stay in our rooms. I have been telling everyone about our stay here. We will definitely go back. S & K, from Valencia CA

It was fantastic! So clean, friendly, and caring!

My husband and I stayed at The Tin Lizzie to celebrate his 40th B-day. He absolutely loved driving to Yosemite in a 1927 Model- A. What a great way to see the sights. The Inn was beautiful to every last detail. The Inn keepers were so gracious- making sure we were completely satisfied. The 3-course breakfast was excellent. Overall an amazing experience.

My wife and I were guests at the Tin Lizzie Inn in mid-May, staying two nights in the Tin Lizzie Suite. This suite is a large accommodation filling nearly the second floor of the inn. It is lavishly furnished with Victorian antiques and rivals the suites of any fine hotel. The gourmet breakfast is outstanding! The inn is only two years old and is meticulously maintained. Two other things make the inn special, however. First, you can rent either a vintage Model A or T Ford. We chose to take the complementary ride around Fish Camp with the innkeepers, David and Sheran Woodworth. Our Model A drove and rode remarkably well. It is amazing these vintage Fords are still on the road after 80-90 years and a real testament to their design and durability. The most special aspect to the inn is the owners. David and Sheran are not only great hosts, but are also interesting (with many experiences to share) and warm as well. You'll leave feeling you have made two new friends. We have stayed in many hotels, inns, and B and B's around the world and can recommend the Tin Lizzie Inn without hesitation. If you visit Yosemite, a stay at the Tin Lizzie will be a highlight of your visit! It rates a "5 out of 5".

This place is truly a destination! You will feel totally pampered and cared for as if you were with family or good friends. Food is wonderful, hosts delightful and helpful in every way and the setting is lovely. Riding around in a Model T is great fun!

The newly build Tin Lizzie Inn is an incredibly finely detailed Victorian home nestled among the pines. We say home rather than B&B because of you feel you are guests of friends rather than staying in an Inn. Our large beautiful suite was furnished with antiques, gorgeous and comfortable king size bed, big beautiful bathroom, with a shower made for two with all the shower heads imaginable and a unique massaging bathtub. Delicious breakfasts and daily treats combined with chirping birds in the morning, an early morning sighting of a deer and her fawn nibbling on Sheran's flowers (tolerated as a natural part of living in a rural setting) and even an evening campfire with roasted marshmallows makes The Tin Lizzie a easy recommendation for anyone looking for comfort, elegance and specially luxury. David's antique collections goes well beyond his Model Ts and As and his knowledge and range of interests make him and Sheran unique among the many Innkeepers we have met with over the years. A richly deserved Five Star recommendation.

We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful our stay was. The room was amazing! The bathroom had heated floors, and we got special treats every night. The owners were very knowledgable about the surrounding area. We were able to have a wonderful vacation due to their organization, expertise on Yosemite, and hospitality! The Model Ts are just a huge added plus! We will stay here again!!!

From the moment we arrived at the Tin Lizzie we were treated like royalty. The accomodations are elegant and luxurious. The owners make you feel like family and strive to meet your every need. We had a wonderful time driving the original Ford Model Ts seeing the beauty of Yosemite Valley up close and personal. You can't go wrong booking your next getaway with with the Woodworths. It will be an unforgetable experience. Christian Shannon - Guest Spring 2007
