Bed & Breakfast Lodging at Yosemite's South Entrance

Big Creek Inn is a three guest room bed and breakfast, ideally located at 5000 ft. elevation on a tranquil bank of Big Creek, just two miles from Yosemite National Park. Each second-floor guest room offers unobstructed views, privacy and the peaceful sound of the year-round creek.

As we navigate the uncharted waters of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are taking additional precautions to help ensure the safety of our guests. Please know that Big Creek Inn is our home. Guests may rest assured that we are as concerned about your welfare as we are for our own. We have reduced our guest capacity to maximize physical distancing and hand sanitizer/disinfecting wipes are provided in all common areas. Common areas are routinely sanitized.

We have always taken pride in providing an exceptionally safe and clean environment. In addition to our thorough cleaning/disinfecting routine, each guest room will be further sanitized using UVC light. UVC light is proven to disinfect airborne pathogens and eliminates up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria on surfaces. And, as ordered by the Mariposa County Department of Public Health, guest rooms will be vacant for 24 hours prior to occupancy.

The innkeeper will wear a mask at all times when interacting with guests. Guests are encouraged to wear masks and those who do not will, respectfully, have limited interaction with the innkeeper. The innkeeper is happy to assist in planning the day's activities and is always available by text message.

Even though COVID-19 is not a food borne illness, in order to maximize physical distancing, a continental breakfast will be delivered outside your room. The guest common area offers self-serve soft drinks, coffee and tea. Each guest room has a mini refrigerator (no freezer) and guests are encouraged to bring their own provisions. The microwave in the common area is for convenience foods and water heating only. Cooking and the in-room use of cooking devices is not allowed.

After an amazing day in Yosemite, relax on the deck overlooking Big Creek to observe wildlife in the meadow, or play a game of Ping-Pong on the outdoor table. Or simply sit and enjoy the brilliant night sky from your own private balcony.

Yosemite hiking information, an extensive DVD library for in-room viewing and an assortment of board games are provided. Wireless internet is complimentary. Guests may conveniently self-check-in any time after 2 p.m.

As we move through this historic global event together, we hope that our commitment to cleanliness and safety will help ensure your comfort and well-being while enjoying a memorable Yosemite experience.
