I really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and fireplace added the element of warmth to the ambiance. The bed was a bit firm to our liking but otherwise cozy. The property is tucked away and you really get the stillness that you do not get in the city. What I loved most of all is that the staff is wonderful and really builds a community for their guests and regulars. We enjoyed conversations and laughing for their lounge's trivia night. I cannot wait to stay here again!
Great room! Chose a room by the river. It’s a little gem in oakhurst. The winery was playing music and was so inviting in the morning. Love this place!
The cabin we stayed in was so cozy and perfect for our stay. Easy check-in, clear instructions, pet friendly.
The restaurant was also great (food & service). I’m still thinking about that double chocolate cake.
I’d definitely stay here again!
Check in was SO simple, and the room was exceptionally clean and quiet-especially the bathroom. I appreciate that the shower head is more than 72" high! It's perfect for tall guests like me! The Idle Hour kitchen had a lovely brunch, which we enjoyed with our dog, and the staff were all welcoming and pleasant! This is our 15th Thanksgiving weekend to stay here, and it gets better and better! Thank you to all the QI/IH Staff!

Gorgeous quiet location, restaurant is great with awesome food and the staff is truly lovely
A wonderful base camp for all three national parks. The owners were fabulous. Their puppy graham cracker and my Bailey had fun doing zoomies alol over the property. Extremely pet friendly. Unfortunately never got to the restaurant or bar area. The town of Oakhurst is very cute. I highly recommend staying at the Queens in by the river.
Lovely scenery, great host, and a beautiful cozy cabin! I will definitely come back to this location

Disliked: Room comfort
Went on a Monday for 1 night. Got the king room with jetted tub. Jetted tub was great but everything else lacked. Check in was easy but unsafe (guest name on envelope with a key) Doors only have 1 handle lock on the handle that can easily be picked or broken No dead bolt no keyless entry. No black out curtains. King bed was spring mats and squeaky with every movement (uncomfortable). The property itself was clean and nice and quiet.
Great little hotel 20 miles outside Yosemite. We stayed in one of the cabins it was super. Great place for a dog. Wine bar and restaurant on site were very good. Food and wine were excellent. Would def stay again.
Nice lodge and location.
There where some spiderwebs on the ceiling in the bathroom. Besides that very beautiful lodge. Nice bed.
The rain in the night made the night more noisy.

I recently stayed here for a wedding over the weekend. It’s a cute cabin like inn. The staff is super friendly and everything was clean and the cats at the site are super cute. Their restaurant also had good food. My one thing is to drive down to the property and sometimes parking can be limited depending on time of day but luckily they have parking on the other side of the inn.
Quite a busy road to walk down to the restaurants and shops but very doable. A quiet town not too much going on but some great options for food and drink. Very pleased with our accommodation, nice room lovely outdoor space. Very helpful staff. We would stay here again if ever back in the area.
