Welcome to The Cedar Lodge at Quail Crossing. 🏡Tucked away on 7 acres of absolute, unfiltered nature 🏞️– or as close as you can get without actually having to camp. The Cedar Lodge is your own 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 3000-square-foot sanctuary that’s just a scenic 30-minute drive from Yosemite’s Highway 120 entrance.
Here, you’ll have exclusive access to our best outdoor amenities: a hot tub for unwinding, a fire pit for marshmallow roasting, an outdoor living room with its own fireplace for ultimate cozy vibes, a basketball court for your inner pro, a bocce court for some friendly competition, a seasonal cowboy pool for a refreshing dip, archery to unleash your inner marksman, and cornhole for a laid-back game under the stars🏀
🛜Need Wi-Fi? We’ve got you covered with Starlink’s best (think nearly 100Mbps download speeds). Keep in mind cell service on the drive here might get a little patchy. But that’s all part of the charm, right? So unplug, unwind, and enjoy your own private slice of wilderness...with just enough Wi-Fi to keep the existential dread at bay.
🐾Pet-Friendly: Bring along up to three of your four-legged friends, because dogs deserve vacation vibes too. An additional pet fee will apply: $100 for the first pet and $50 for each additional pet. Limit of two pets per stay.
👉Important note: The Cedar Lodge is actually part of The Retreat at Quail Crossing, a wonderland complete with two vacation homes: The Cedar Lodge and its cool cousin, The Quail Cabin, located over 100 yards away—far enough for total privacy, but close enough for an impromptu friendly wave. You’ll get plenty of privacy, though some of the retreat’s outdoor amenities are shared with other guests. If you’re in the mood for even more serenity and space, you can book both The Cedar Lodge and The Quail Cabin for an entire property takeover. Book at The Retreat at Quail Crossing or message the host. If you`re looking for exclusive use of the entire estate, book: Quail Crossing Estate: Yosemite Boutique Resort.👈
