Pine Rose Inn

This was a B&B run by a EXTREMELY friendly mother and son team, Anita and Geff. It was a large home and many of their rooms have private entrances with individual patios. I was offered a free upgrade and stayed in the "Bird Nest" room, which had a Queen size bed, toilet and a jacuzzi shower / bathtub. There is also a small kitchenette with oven, stove and microwave. The room was generally neat and clean. Had it not been for the single radiator and fireplace in the room, it would have been very cold (mid spring). Anita whips up a superb breakfast for all to enjoy! This is about 30min drive from the south entrance to Yosemite Park and 1hr 20min drive from the Yosemite Valley Floor. Very convenient location indeed!

The Inn was was Quaint and a bit Rustic. We Had a Great time and the jucuzzi in the room and wood buring fire place were great had all the wood we needed and the Breakfast has wonderfull.

We have stayed here twice and LOVE it. Anita and her son are wonderful warm people. The breakfasts were fantastic, creative and filling. This is an eclectic place with plenty of personality and charm. We first met, he is from Ohio and I am California, here and have made this our forever Honeymoon destination. So far, we have tried out two of the rooms and look forward to many more visits. Thank you Greg and Anita for the great Hospitality!

Anita and Greg were very nice and this place has such potential. They have a great location and close to several nice restaurants. Just needs a little extra TLC.

This place in quite near to the South Entrance of the Yosemite area; the room prices generally are high in that area but we found this one at a reasonable price (around 100$ including taxes) and the room was nice so it's worth the money. The owners are nice people, overall I recommend this B&B. Marco

Everything in the room looked old and did not meet the cleanliness standard the I am used to with respect to a b&b. The innkeeper seemed very nice. But this inn was the least favorite in my b&b experience and I mainly book b&b for my personal travel for the past 10 years. I think the owner should do an overhaul on this place.

My family and I (and our dog!) stayed here while we hiked Yosemite during the daytime. We stayed in Blue Spruce, which turned out to be bigger than I'd expected - complete with a kitchen and several rooms. It was very comfortable, and we were even able to cook one of the nights. Anita and Greg (who own and run the place) are extremely nice and hospitable, and you will have a great time chatting with them. Anita also cooks up a little bit different breakfast every morning and it is SUCH a great way to wake up in the morning and enjoy breakfast out on the patio. The only thing that may deter you if you are looking to stay here while visiting Yosemite during the day is the drive in...it takes about 30 min to get to the park entrance, and another 45 to get to the Valley. I thought it was worth it, but some other people may not enjoy that type of driving in the morning. Either way, my family and I HIGHLY recommend Pine Rose Inn at any time of year!!!

The first night I was supposed to arrive at 10:30pm, but I did not leave Yosemite Valley until after 10:00pm, had a dead cell and did not get to the inn until 11:30pm. However, my hosts had left me a note, the key to my room and a map to find the room. As I unloaded my vehicle Anita got up and welcome me, which was very good of her considering the lateness of the hour. A very hearty breakfast is served at 9am. The full breakfast, different every day, was very welcome as I would spend the entire day hiking in Yosemite. A problem with the inn's location is that it is a 1 1/2 hr drive to the main Yosemite Valley, however the location is ideal to visit the southern portion of Yosemite park and e.g. see the Wawona region or the giant redwoods at the Mariposa Grove. At the grove the easy trail to the Wawona Point gives an unexpected great view. This part of trail was made better by the fact that at 6pm no one else was on it. It was good to avoid the inevitable crowds you get at Yosemite. Talking of crowds, in the summer you need to start as early as possible as there can be a long line just to get into Yosemite park. As well as having a Jacuzzi in my room there was a large hot tub outside. Prior to my first night I had hiked up Yosemite falls so I welcomed the in room Jacuzzi but it took a while to fill up. The remaining nights I made use of the outside hot tub; enjoying soothing midnight soaks while staring up at the stars. The Inn is easy to find, on the road between Oakhurst and Bass Lake. Traffic on this road is quite loud as it is a fast wide road. I'm a light sleeper and traffic noise can really bother me, however the room I had was situated so that I really did not hear the traffic. My hosts, Anita and Greg were very friendly and had been in the B&B business a long while; I think Anita mentioned for more than 20 years. If you have been in the business that long you know what you are doing, I would stay with them again.

for the price we paid it was not anywhere close to what we expected it to be. Greg was a bit intrusive and would repeat same questions/conversations each day. Upon checking out they didn't recall we had already paid for the stay. Will not be staying here again.

July 2011. Blue Spruce room. Didn't stay long enough to settle in --- but everything we needed was there and place is clean. Nothing fancy but lots of character. Cozy and private. Reservation made online months ago and they obviously expected still expected us. Breakfast on the deck was delicious. Nice location - on road but off the main route. Friendly, non-invasive hosts.

Very friendly and accomodating. We travel with our dogs, the room was roomy, and the owners are great!

If you are looking for a place that is really convenient to Yosemite this is the place. It is not in busy Oakhurst, but close enough if you need to go there. The staff also provided an excellent referral for dinner up at nearby Bass Lake. Will try to stay again if backin the area.

Anita and Greg were great hosts at the Pine Rose Inn. We would definitely stay there again in the future.

I loved the Pine Rose Inn. Very pretty and romantic and the staff was kind and personable. To top it off, my boyfriend asked me to marry me our first night there and I couldn't think of a better place to get engaged :)

This is a wonderful place to stay whether your spending time at Bass Lake or visiting Yosemite. My hosts were great folks. Anita is a lovely well traveled and well spoken woman who cooks a mean breakfast. Greg (Anita's son) is a kind heart who is eager to please and quick to laugh. Always a smile on his face. And he eats a mean breakfast. Lucky man. The accommodations are very nice. If your looking for perfection..... it exists nowhere. If your one who is only comfortable with complete uniformity as in Hotel or Motel chains then a Bed and Breakfast may not be the place for you. This is a cozy, warm, upscale funky and very comfortable place. There are multiple choices depending on your needs. I will not miss the opportunity to lodge here again. Roy

We stayed in the Pine Rose Inn's smallest room and it was still very nice, very comfortable. Love the homey atmosphere. The full breakfast is different each morning and is Excellent... a meal that lasts all day. The hosts are great. I will definitely recommend this b&b to friends.

It was our first trip to Yosemite and since this place was only about 15 minutes from the park entrance we decided to give it a try. It is actually that close to the park, but once you're inside the park it is another 25 miles down a steep windy road to get to the valley where everything is. On top of that there is construction on that road so it ended up taking us about 2 hrs each way. So if you are planning on being in Yosemite, I would definitely recommend staying in the park! The grounds at Pine Rose in are quaint and relaxing, the rooms slightly dirty, (dirty dishes, cracked cups, etc) inn keepers very nice and welcoming.

The beginning of the stay was a little interesting. Rooms were not cool. Ceiling fans were broke and owner knew nothing about it. 2nd bedroom was on 2nd floor. Never listed as 2nd floor room. Breakfast was great and saved the trip. Owner is very pleasant and a good host.

This is the fourth time that we have stayed at the Pine Rose. We had five in our party and we had a great time. Breakfast was wonderful with everything you could ask for. My only recommendation is bring your own towels which we did. There just was too few of them. We had a full kitchen and that helped to save on the cost of going out to eat.

We arrived after a day at yosemite and we found quite easily the B&B thanks to billboard well visible from the road. Holders have welcomed us very kindly despite being quite late (11 pm approx.) and the room was clean and cosy. Substantially recommended for those seeking something typical and not luxurious. Also the breakfast was good.

Amazing place. We drove up from San Diego to Oakhurst and got there fairly late. We had no idea what to expect and when we got there, we were pleasantly surprised. Greg and Anita were very hospitable and welcomed us in. Made a great breakfast the next morning. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely go back and will recommend this place to my friends and family!

This was our first B&B and had a great time. We enjoyed the family style feel. Anita and Greg make you feel like you have known them your whole life. We'll be back for sure. PS I loved all the great Antique furniture...unbelievable!!!!

Room and Jacuzzi was dirty, the room was cold and damp, used the electric stove the heat the place. Stayed two nights, wish we would have left after the first. Only had one breakfast and it was ok. Did not serve on the second day. Would be a nice place to stay just needs some TLC and elbow grease.

Clean and comfortable accommodations at affordable price. We had a great time!

Rooms very cosy - almost like being at home in luxury. We had the larger rooms - unfortunately not the largest under the breakfast area all the time - that room was the best room we've ever had and worth the money. The other room we moved to was not as high a standard as the above mentioned, so we did expect a lower charge which unfortunately wasn't the case. It should be stated that we couldn't get all our nights in one room - but Anita and Greg were very friendly and helpful trying to accomodate us in the best way. We felt like living with our own family. We can recommend Pine Rose Inn to any family up to four - for four persons especially the largest room under the breakfast area, as the spa is awesome!

We had a wonderful wedding and honeymoon here at Pine Rose Inn. The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the large spa tub in the room. Our close families also stayed here at the Inn. We were all very pleased with the accomodations and the wonderful breakfast each morning. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the pines, peace and quiet. Also the Pine Rose is not far from the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park.

This place can be described as quaint,quiet,cozy & rustic. Inn keeper Anita and her son Greg do a very good job making you feel comfortable and at home. The homecooked breakfasts are better than you'll get at most B&B's. Bear in mind, is not the 4 Seasons or The Plaza. This is a very, very good family run ooperation. Our group (10 people in 3 cabins) had a very nice 2 night stay here and will certainly return. If you have any hadicapped access concerns I suggest you contact Anita directly. Our cabin's were all on different levels.

It is a very dirty place, greasy breakfast, our room was just a small hole in a parking hut (they call it granny's house).

Exceeded my expectations

This was my first B&B stay, and I stayed with the family. The place has a nice location, and a cozy, old-style feel. We had a room by the main road so traffic noise was an issue, especially at night. The breakfast was good and the people were really nice, though. Overall, a very pleasant experience, though a bit on the pricey side.

Stayed 2 nights - loved it - more food than I could eat, but I tried. Will be back for sure.

We can strongly recommend this place. Reception warm and friendly. Quiet enviornment close to nature. Interior decoration tastefull. Fully equipped.

A wonderful stay - good and varied food. Friendly and familiar set-up. Very nice rooms.

This bed and breakfast met my expectations.

great place to stay. nice people. good company.

What a beautiful and perfect stay to celebrate our honeymoon. Anita is so sweet and such a gracious host. Will be back!

My stay at this inn was outstanding

Anita is outstanding! Thank you so much for giving us a comfortable stay.

We found our stay very pleasant - very adequate and great breakfasts.

This bed and breakfast exceeded my expectations.
