Fireplace rooms and a breakfast buffet minutes from Yosemite's south entrance
Big Creek Inn B&B sits in Fish Camp, just minutes from Yosemite's south entrance, and it's earned a 4.8-star rating across 73 reviews for a reason: quiet rooms, a home-cooked breakfast, and hosts who know the park inside and out. It's a small inn, and guests say that's the point — fewer neighbors, more quiet.
The inn offers refined rooms with fireplaces and balconies, a breakfast buffet served each morning, and a deck with a ping-pong table for guests looking to unwind between park days. Past guests describe the rooms as spotlessly clean and the grounds as peaceful, with clear night skies for stargazing.
Reviewers consistently single out the hospitality here, describing the host as welcoming and generous with local tips that shaped their Yosemite visit. One guest called it the perfect post-Yosemite retreat, noting it's just a few minutes from the park's south gate — a good spot to decompress after a full day in the valley. A couple of reviewers did flag the breakfast buffet's self-serve format as a minor downside, since portions can run short if you're not an early riser.

We were very happy with this B&B, as it was the perfect option for us to quickly reach Yosemite National Park. A small breakfast is served, which is perfectly adequate to start the day. The rooms have a balcony overlooking the garden and are very clean. We would definitely recommend this accommodation. The only downside is that housekeeping isn't done every day.

I haven't stayed here but I called and talked to Hannah and even though we needed a room for four and they only have rooms for two, she was kind enough to give me some of her time with recommendations about where to stay and eat, what to do, and when to come.

A nice b&b close to Yosemite. The only issue is the way the breakfast is provided: you have a certain amount of good food but you don't know how many guests already picked their food and how many will come after. So you don't know what you can take... Very uncomfortable. At that price tag it is disappointing.

Comfortable bed, clean room. Very good location near the south entrance of Yosemite. The continental breakfast was one of the worst my wife and I have experienced. Yogurt and blueberries-good. White bread or plain bagel or 1 tiny plain croissant - bad ! A little disappointed at this price point.

We had a fantastic stay at Big Creek Inn. The location is perfect for visiting Yosemite National Park, just an hour away from the valley and conveniently positioned along the route to the tunnel view. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and full of helpful advice. We received excellent tips that really enhanced our visit. The inn itself is peaceful and quiet, surrounded by nature, exactly what we were hoping for. The room was very clean, and the breakfast was excellent. We noticed another guest mention that this was their best stay in California, and we can absolutely agree with that. We visited just before the snow season, and Yosemite Valley was calm and uncrowded, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a perfect stay and a great time to visit Yosemite. Highly recommended!
