We had an incredible family getaway at Rush Creek Lodge, just minutes from Yosemite National Park. The lodge offers a welcoming environment for families, featuring lots of activities and a fantastic pool. The nightly s'mores around the fire were a memorable highlight for us. However, we did encounter some issues with room cleanliness and our experience with the front desk was less than ideal, especially considering the price.
