“Great place for families ☺️”
The property was great. Very expansive and lots to do for the kids. You could easily spend every day at the Ranch! We also visited sister hotel Rush Creek which was a great activity that wasn’t too far away.

“Good location however make sure you get a room NOT opposite the car park”
The lodge was operating at 30% capacity as I was informed by the receptionist however the room given to me was opposite the car park which was pretty poor today the least when so many other rooms were available

Brand new facility, great service and location. The stand alone wooden cottage’s are far the best in the Yosemite region. Fully equipped spacious air conditioned houses. Nice surroundings and delicious food in the dining area.

“Not worth the money at all - understaffed property, overpriced food, terrible service.”
I'd like to start by saying that I emailed Firefall Ranch directly twice to talk about our stay and they have ignored both emails, so customer service is clearly awful on top of other issues. My husband and I were really disappointed with Firefall Ranch. Given the price point, we were expecting (as advertised) a luxury stay, but instead found that the property understaffed and ill-equipped to maintain a level of service that you would expect for the price. On arrival, we were directed towards our room, but no-one offered to help us drag our suitcases over their tricky gravel pathways, and all parking spaces near our cabin were taken. The food is extremely average and hugely overpriced; night 1, we ordered two Caesar salads and the eggs were undercooked and basically inedible. All other food that we ordered was either lukewarm or cold. Their cabbage dish was completely inedible as well; cabbage was greasy and burned, and accompanying mushrooms tasted like cleaning product (left in the pan by accident?) There was a consistent issue with drinks orders throughout our stay, and they took 20+ mins to arrive every single time we ordered. We then tried to order two different wines from the menu but both were unavailable. We then ordered two Old Fashioned's instead, and asked specifically for bourbon - my husband and I then watched the bar staff discuss the fact that there was no Maker's Mark left, and they made our drinks with Jamesons' scotch instead. Less about using the wrong ingredient, but blatant lack of care for the actual order/ didn't check if this was an ok substitute! We asked for gin & tonics and got gin & soda. On night three, our wines just never arrived. In the room - no milk was provided for coffees in the morning. No water provided either, so we had to keep going back to the shop to buy more drinking water.

“Perfect venue for Yosemite”
Well positioned location just outside the Park but proving a tranquil and scenic location. The recently opened property makes for a very comfortable stay in the forest-style lodges. Staff were really helpful throughout and we recommend this venue for anyone wanting an upmarket stay just outside Yosemite Park
