With forest views, waterfalls, and lakes nearby, this lodge offers the space, privacy, and amenities of a high-end resort—without the crowds.

The Property

Welcome to The Cedar Lodge at Quail Crossing. 🏡Tucked away on 7 acres of absolutely unfiltered nature 🏞️– or as close as you can get without actually camping. The Cedar Lodge is your own 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 3000-square-foot sanctuary that’s just a scenic 30-minute drive from Yosemite’s Highway 120 entrance.

Here, you’ll have exclusive access to our best outdoor amenities: a hot tub for unwinding, a fire pit for marshmallow roasting, an outdoor living room with its own fireplace for those cozy vibes, a basketball court for your inner pro, a ping pong table, and cornhole set for a laid-back competition under the stars🏀 You also have shared access to our bocce court, seasonal cowboy pool, second hot tub, outdoor shower, game cottage, horseshoe pit, and archery range. 

🛜Need Wi-Fi? We’ve got you covered with Starlink’s best (think nearly 100Mbps download speeds). Non-AT&T cell service on the drive here might get a little spotty, but that’s all part of the charm, right. So unplug, unwind, and enjoy your own private slice of wilderness...with enough Wi-Fi to keep the existential dread at bay.

🐾Pet-Friendly: Bring along up to three of your four-legged friends, because dogs deserve vacation vibes too. An additional pet fee will apply: $100 for the first pet and $50 for each additional pet.

👉Important note: The Cedar Lodge is actually part of The Quail Crossing Estate, a wonderland complete with two vacation homes and an entertainment cottage: The Cedar Lodge, its sibling, The Quail Cabin, and The Stone Cottage located over 100 yards away—far enough for total privacy as you stay at the Lodge, but close enough for an impromptu friendly wave. You’ll get plenty of privacy, though if you haven't rented the estate some of the retreat’s outdoor amenities are shared guests staying at the cabin. If you’re in the mood for even more serenity and space, you can book The Retreat at Quail Crossing or message the host. 👈

🏕The Layout🏕

There are two vacation homes here: The Cedar Lodge and Quail Cabin, located a solid 100 yards apart. That’s right—privacy without isolation. Rent The Cedar Lodge on its own for a private escape, or book the entire property on The Retreat at Quail Crossing listing to bring the whole crew together. Perfect for family reunions, friend gatherings, or finally meeting those distant cousins.

In short: The Cedar Lodge offers the quiet of your own home with the option to go full retreat mode whenever you’re ready.

Imagine this: you, 11 of your favorite people, and 7 acres of blissful, nature-filled paradise just 30 minutes from Yosemite’s entrance. Welcome to Cedar Lodge—where luxury meets the wilderness but with actual beds, showers, and just enough Wi-Fi to remind you civilization exists.

🏕SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS🏕

*🛌Master Bedroom: Yes, it’s a king bed—this is vacation, after all. Plus, a twin sleeper sofa and a twin sleeper chair for when you bring along the extended entourage. Enjoy the en-suite bath with a jacuzzi tub (bubbles included) and a private balcony. Start your mornings here, pretending you’re in a coffee commercial.

*Loft Bedroom: Queen bed, twin daybed with trundle, and yet another twin sleeper sofa. Step into your own private loft bedroom, with a personal stairwell for that touch of exclusivity. A sleek screen guarantees total privacy, making it the perfect escape—quiet, peaceful, and entirely yours.

*🎯Entertaining Pub Room: Wet bar meets queen Murphy bed in this clever, multipurpose hangout space. It’s a private bedroom by night, and a full-bar by day. Basically, it’s a social chameleon.

🏕DINING & ENTERTAINMENT🏕

Gourmet Kitchen:🥞 Soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and space for 10-14 people to gather, because one thing is clear: you’re going to eat well here. Open up to the outdoor patio for granite dining, a BBQ grill, and endless possibilities for “accidentally” burning the veggies.

Outdoor Living Area: Picture this—outdoor speakers, a fireplace, and the cool, open air. Here, your playlists sound better, the stars shine brighter, and your marshmallows burn slower.

Main Living Space: Local Yosemite art (to remind you where you are), a big-screen TV (to make you forget where you are), and an ultra-comfy sofa. Perfect for collapsing after a day of adventuring, or even a day of intense lounging.

Cedar Lodge at Quail Crossing isn’t just a stay—it’s the kind of retreat where you find yourself, then promptly lose yourself in a comfy chair, staring at the view.
