Sometimes the best vacations are the ones where you don't have to cook, make your bed, pitch a tent or set up camp. Yosemite's Ahwahnee Hotel makes a wonderful destination if you are looking for a family resort vacation.
This is a four diamond resort among the wilderness. You'll be welcomed and served by the employees of this elegant hotel during your stay. You'll enjoy the tall log beamed ceilings and the many massive stoned fireplaces that are throughout the hotel. The natural wood furnishings and overstuffed chairs are inviting pieces to sit down on and relax. You can look out of the floor to ceiling windows and onto some of the most spectacular scenery that this US National Park has to offer.
You will have unobstructed views of Yosemite Falls, Half Dome and Glacier Point. The Ahwahnee resort allows you to maximize your vacation time by not having to set up camp and worry about where to put your food and belongings so that bears won't get into it.
Dinners are served on china and by candle light. Top quality chefs are there to prepare meals that you will not easily forget. Laundry services and a heated swimming pool are there to be enjoyed after a day of hiking, biking, horseback riding or floating the river. The Ahwahnee Hotel is centrally located, which makes it easy to get around Yosemite Valley. There is a free bus that picks you up and takes you to all of the main attractions that Yosemite Valley has to offer.
Presidents, kings, queens and movie stars have come and gone at the Ahwahnee Hotel. This resort has standard rooms, suites and cottages for you to stay in. Yosemite National Park has long been considered the jewel of the US National Park system. The Ahwahnee Hotel, and all of its great detail, just enhance the natural beauty that Yosemite has to offer its visitors.
Though open all year long, the winter time at the Ahwahnee brings a classic warm feeling to all who visit. Snow falling on the meadows, a cup of your favorite hot beverage and a roaring fire will relax you as you spend the day doing whatever it is you choose to do.
Anyone looking for a family resort vacation to unwind and put life into perspective, should consider a few days at the Ahwahnee. You will be pampered and all the while having breath-taking views out every window.
