Pine Rose Inn - Oakhurst, California

Only good thing about this B&B is the tubs and location being close to Bass Lake. Talk about run down, everything is pieced together and poorly so, the locks on the door easily jiggled loose so obviously these rooms have been broken into more than once. The place stunk like mold.
Not a safe atmosphere either. The people who I’m guessing were either staff or just living there, hard to tell because they all seemed like they were on some task and working to hard to be really helpful when I asked anything of them. I couldn’t get much info on good hiking trails or even places to go in Yosemite, I was hoping for a little local advise to really spice up my trip but no one here was very knowledgeable about the area.
Lots of weird activities going on around the place at night and cars coming and going even though there didn’t seem to be many guests at all.
I’d believe it if I was told the place once was a nice place but trying to say it was worth the amount I saved, it wasn’t.
My advice, especially if you have children with you, just spend a few more bucks and go stay at the pines resort actually on the lake or best western right there in oakhurst. I think their prices were actually better for just a standard room

We had a reservation with the family last winter. The owners didn't know we were coming even though the manager was there and we had made reservation with him. Nothing was ready. When they "cleaned" a room for my teenage daughters it was still dirty, dusty, gross. Floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year. Sheets stained, beds were squeaky. Then cops showed up looking for fugitives that had been seen staying there. That was it for us! We left and went to the very nice & clean Best Western up the road. I can't understand how anyone would think this place was charming or anything other than terrible! The owners were friendly enough and I felt a little bad saying that we were not comfortable staying there, but it was just beyond bad! If new people bought it and poured a ton of money into fixing it up it could be charming and cool, but the way it is now with owners that clearly are not cut out for the hospitality industry, it's just sad and awful.

Not the place for everyone but I loved the quaint rooms that are all different. The feel of being at home is neat. I stayed.more.more then a night so I explored the area and met and loved the owners and the manager.

I have been there many times now and again, while not the place for everyone. I am sad to say they seem to be closed and bot sure why. I know they were having problems. Last time I stayed they has no housekeeping staff and the rooms did not seem cleaned as well as they should have been. It is sad because under the correct management this place could have been a goldmine.

This was an all around terrible experience. It is dirty and run down. I dont think the doors lock. They told us we should not drink the water (thank God they told us at least) and it also had a foul odor. The electrical breaker did not work right and the electricity kept coming on and off. The wifi does not work well either and kept going off. There was mice poop in the cabinets and dirty glasses above the stove. Anita, the woman and owner is very nice and tried very hard to make our stay pleasurable but I just dont think she knows how to run a hotel. She runs the place with her two sons Greg and Ryan and everything is a mess in the main area where they greet you. Greg seemed nice initially, a little strange, but nice enough. However when we told them we wanted a refund because of so many problems he became belligerent and by the end we were fearful for our well-being. Fortunately Anita refunded our money but he was so angry that we left that he started screaming at the top of his lungs and we literally high tailed it out of there as quickly as possible. My husband and I were scared. It was freaky. We do not recommend staying there!

My husband and I decided to spend Memorial weekend in Yosemite for a nice hike, due to the holiday, we found this place on line, which looked nice and cozy. On arrival no one was at the office, we found a lady that had a good attitude with poor hygiene appearance. She showed us around the place making time for the person from the office to arrive. Ryan showed up and greeted us letting us know that we were early to check inn 3pm.(we arrived at 2pm) and they're not longer serving breakfast. We told Ryan that we will go to the town and come back. When we did, our room's door was not locked, and I don't think it locks.The place had a foul odor, we checked the sheets, and had some stains and an old weathered duvet.The worse of it all was the "RAT POOP" on the kitchen counter next to the microwave. We Ryan we were not happy with the room and called hotel.com and asked for our money back. Luckily we found a new place which was clean and much better place with breakfast and less expensive. ||Please, dont ever stay at The Pine Rose, it's not what it looks like or appears to be on the web site. Do yourself a favor. Dont make the mistake we did.

Me and my friend were traveling from Boston to Sacramento and book a two night stay at the rose pine, cause we were doing a road trip starting from Yosemite. I contacted the inn and told them them we are gonna be coming late and asked them if thats gonna be a problem or we would find another place. It was ok. We landed in Sacramento at 10 rented a car and drove around 3 hours down to Oakhurst. I had no phone reception most of the time. We arrived around 1 ish to find nobody waiting for us. There is no reception just a bell you should ring, which we did for 20 mins. Nobody showed up. I couldn’t call anyone, cause of the no service thing, so we just walked around the premises looking for a sign or smth. An hour later we gave up and drove another half an hour to spend 200$ in the nearest 24 hour reception hotel. Around 3 in the morning i received a voice mail from earlier from the manager saying if i don’t give him a call asap he is gonna give our room to someone else! Our booked and already paid room! We were furious! In the morning we went to ask for our money back and talked to the manager. He said something about how he left a key in a big whine envelope for us in front of the main door, which first we surprisingly didn’t see, and second he was suppose to give our room to another couple if I don’t contact him, didn’t he? At the end he apologized, refunded us the money for the first night, gave us a discount and upgraded our room, gave us a key and we left after loosing half day of hiking cause of that. Came back at night to walk in to another guests room! Luckily the manager was still awake and apologized that he forgot that those guests are staying another night. We finally found OUR room and were chilling outside when he came with three bottles of wine to apologize for all the inconvenience. Room was spooky but kinda clean, I didn’t have much time to look around. Place looks cute and have bon fire and a hot tub, but that was not useable, cause it was not clean. If put more effort the place could be a bomb for travelers who like to meet new people and have fun around the fire. Not the best experience, but at least he tried to catch up with it.

Owners are not as trying to be nice and caring, but not organized. Place were not very clean and they left a sprinkler open to make my patio completely wet. They had option to make our evening beautiful (fire pit, grill, outdoor furniture was there), but made not attempt. Breakfast starts at 9am. Most of the people leave early for the tour and miss it. Our room had very poor wifi connection.
