Established in 1856, this National Historic Landmark comprises six whitewashed Victorian buildings, each retaining authentic period charm. Its grand verandas invite guests to step back in time, reflecting Yosemite's rich history. Rooms feature antique furnishings, with options for private or shared baths.
