Johnson's Cedar Creek Cabin

Two miles from the Yosemite's South Gate, Cedar Creek Cabin is magical secluded retreat at Yosemite National Park. Nestled under giant trees, you will hear the soothing sounds of Cedar Creek and solitude.

Minutes from giant sequoias, waterfalls, incredible hiking, mountain biking, meadows, creeks & rivers. Boating, kayaking, water skiing, swimming and fishing are close by. Want fine dining, a bar & grill or a luxury spa treatment? It's all within a short drive from Johnson's Cedar Creek Cabin.

Cedar Creek Cabin is near everything you would want to do and see, in or around our wonderful 748,436 acres of Yosemite National Park. That’s a lot of park. In fact, that’s larger than the state of Rhode Island! So, you should expect a little travel time depending on your day’s adventure.

Our continuing mission is to offer guests lodging with a level of comfort and convenience. This space is perfect for couples or small family, looking to rejuvenate themselves in a quiet woodland retreat. Spend the day adventuring in the park and come back to enjoy cool breezes, beautiful views and the sounds of nature.

We can be pretty particular when it comes to aesthetics, functionality and our guest's experience. We started Johnson's Cedar Creek from the ground up, which includes custom hand-crafted furniture. We've put time and thought into every choice and always from the guest’s perspective. We're continually improving with the goal of making this a better experience for our guests.

We want to provide that “home away from home” type of comfort and convenience without it feeling like you’re in a stranger's home. We don’t like feeling as though we’re intruding in someone's personal space and we don’t think you should either. This is your time up here. Your vacation, your space, your place. It would be our pleasure to welcome you home to Johnson's Cedar Creek Cabin at Yosemite National Park.

Quite simply, our Fish Camp neighborhood is the best location for your Yosemite vacation for its convenience, its access and its beauty.

What makes Johnson's Cedar Creek Unique?

• CEDAR CREEK - Our name sake is a year-round creek that flows adjacent through the property. Open the windows during the Summer and fall asleep to the sounds of falling water. Feel yourself relax as you breathe in the pine fresh air and watch the creek move through nature from the deck. For the adventurous, take a stroll down the steep (but doable) hillside and dip your hands and feet in the cool water. You won’t be able to go fishing or swimming here, but if that’s your pleasure, we’ve got you covered nearby.

- SOLITUDE - Cedar Creek Cabin sits on just over 2 acres and is one of the most secluded and private locations in Fish Camp. Located off of a charming local road and down a windy driveway, this cabin is an ideal quiet mountain retreat. With just a few homes in this neighborhood, you will feel refreshed being away from the hustle and bustle, but not too isolated or disconnected from the peaceful energy of Fish Camp.

• WRAP AROUND DECK - At Cedar Creek, you will be surrounded by views of the forest, the creek and the mountains. And you can take it all in, right from the wrap around deck of the cabin. Grill, chill and watch the trees grow!

• GENERATOR - No matter what season you’ll be traveling in or what the weather might bring, you’ll sleep soundly knowing your vacation won’t be spoiled by power outages. Our whole house generator automatically turns on when the power goes out and you’ll continue enjoying your stay without interruption.

• YOSEMITE CONSERVANCY - Need a reason to feel even better? We take care of the places we love and play. Portions of your stay are donated to the Yosemite Conservancy to provide continued support for our park and its future.
