Fall Escape to Yosemite's Tenaya Lodge

Fall Escape to Yosemite's Tenaya Lodge

08.25.2016

Everybody loves national parks. But the lodging, well, that often leaves plenty to be desired. Unless you stay at Yosemite’s only four-diamond resort: Tenaya Lodge. All of Tenaya’s lodge rooms are newly renovated, with deluxe baths, cozy beds, and flat-screen TVs.

Just 2 miles from Yosemite’s southern entrance and surrounded by the Sierra National Forest, Tenaya Lodge has hiking and biking trails galore. After a day outdoors, relax fireside and enjoy a glass of wine and some s’mores under the clear starry night. Or head to Tenaya’s amazing Ascent Spa and unwind with a massage, facial, body wrap, or mani-pedi. Where to eat? Your pick! Tenaya Lodge has five seasonal restaurants, ranging from casual to upscale.

And Tenaya Lodge's dog-friendly lodging has been ranked "best in show!" Top reasons to visit Yosemite this fall: way fewer people, perfect temperatures, fall colors, and Tenaya Lodge!

BONUS: Use promo code FALLOFFER to get a complimentary pass to Yosemite National Park, plus breakfast with your stay at Tenaya Lodge.
