Redwood Two Bedroom Apartment

At 690 sq. ft., it has two separate bedrooms, a living room and a kitchenette. That gives a group or family shared space to spread out in without everyone sharing one room. It is climate-controlled with air conditioning.

Yes. The kitchenette has a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee/tea maker, and cookware, dishware and utensils. That suits light self-catered meals and a longer stay. Yosemite View Lodge also has The River Restaurant & Lounge on site if you would rather eat out.

The bathroom has a shower/bathtub combination, free toiletries, towels and a hair dryer. With up to seven guests staying, it helps to plan your morning routines around it.

Yes. It has free WiFi (50+ Mbps), although speeds can vary given the location. There is also a 32-inch TV with premium channels, a phone, and free local calls.

The lodge is in El Portal on Highway 140, about 2 miles from the Arch Rock Entrance. Driving to Yosemite Valley takes roughly 25 minutes. A YARTS bus stop is on site, and the ride to the Valley takes about 43 minutes for around $5, so you can leave the car parked. Parking at the lodge is free, and the lodge has Tesla Supercharger stations.

The lodge has 4 pools (3 outdoor, 1 indoor) and 7 hot tubs. The indoor pool allows swimming year-round, while the outdoor pools are seasonal. There is also a fitness center, a game room, BBQ and picnic areas, and coin-operated laundry. The official pool hours are 7:30 am to 10:00 pm.

Check-in generally begins at 3:00 PM, though some listings quote 4:00 PM, and check-out is by 11:00 AM. The front desk is open 24 hours. The main guest must be at least 18 and have a government-issued photo ID and a credit/debit card or cash deposit for incidentals. The apartment is reached via exterior corridors.

With two separate bedrooms, a living room and a kitchenette, this apartment works well for families traveling together, multi-generational groups, or two couples sharing a stay. Sleeping up to seven, it gives everyone a bit more breathing room than a standard hotel room, and the kitchenette makes it practical for a longer visit to Yosemite View Lodge.

The two bedrooms separate sleepers nicely: one holds the King Bed and the other the Queen Bed, while the living room has a Double Sofa Bed for additional guests. That layout lets couples or parents take a private bedroom while kids or other travelers settle into the living area.

Yes, pets are generally welcomed at Yosemite View Lodge for a nightly pet fee, with a limit of two pets per room and dogs expected to stay leashed and not be left unattended. Rooms with spa tubs are the exception and are not pet friendly, so this apartment, which does not feature one, is a solid choice if you're traveling with a dog.
