Overview

Just outside of Yosemite National Park, Evergreen Lodge enjoys the perfect location for exploring Yosemite Valley, Tuolomne Meadows and Hetch Hetchy. Surrounded by pine forest, the lodge consists of cabin accommodation, with either one or two bedrooms, making it the best family accommodation in the Yosemite area. The 90 cabins are set within grounds of 20 acres, but it has been sympathetically laid out, so you don’t feel hemmed in.

The family cabins can sleep up to 6 people. They have two bedrooms as well as a lounge which has a sofa bed. Each cabin has a private deck area as well, meaning that there is plenty of room to spread out. There are no kitchen facilities in the cabins, but there is a store and restaurant on site. Decor is rustic, but comfortable with clean rooms and well proportioned rooms. Cabins have thoughtful touches such as baskets full of board games and there is a nice library in the communal area.

This is the type of lodge where you will feel comfortable relaxing on your deck while your children can explore. Dotted around the grounds are mini play areas, with outdoor games and activities such as horseshoe games and balancing beams, offering children plenty of areas to hang out in their down time. There is also a large pool on site and a playground with zip wire.

The lodge has several activities on offer for families. They can arrange day activities such as yoga, fishing or gold panning. On site, there are daily activities such as arts and crafts, music, outdoor movies and campfires.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
