Johnson's Firefall Lodge - 2 miles from Yosemite National Park!

Hello and welcome to the beautifully appointed Firefall Lodge at Yosemite National Park!

We provide year-round lodging with convenient access to more fun than you can shake a stick at. And up here, you can shake a pretty big stick.

When we say convenient, we mean it. We are located near everything. Okay, not everything. Crazy Horse Memorial is 1,457 miles away and if you’d like to visit South Dakota, we would certainly recommend different lodging. (Really, just ask us.) However, we are 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 that will satisfy even the most distinctive traveler. From security night lighting to convenient charging ports to the softest blankets you’ve ever used, we’ve got you covered.

We can be pretty particular when it comes to aesthetics, functionality and our guest's experience. We started Firefall Lodge from the ground up, which includes custom hand-crafted furniture, luxury mattresses for every suite and of course quality bedding. 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.

Here are a few important notes, we want you to have all of the information you need to make the best choice...FOR YOU!

SLEEPING AREAS: Firefall Lodge has four individually private guest quarters and a pull out sofa in the living room.

CHECK IN & CHECK OUT TIMES: Standard check in is 4P and check out is 11A. However, this is subject to change based on occupancy, especially during the peak Spring and Summer seasons. 5P check in and 10A check outs are often required.

SEASONS & WEATHER: We enjoy all four season at Firefall Lodge. At 5000' ft of elevations, the weather can be unpredictable, especially in Spring and Winter. Make sure you stay up-to-date with the area forecast as you plan your trip. Snow is always possible in the early Spring, Fall and Winter. During snowy weather, the access to the Yosemite area may require snow chains. In rain and snow, the outdoor furniture and grill may not be available. The home has central heating to keep you cozy (the fireplace is not available for use) and ceiling fans keep you cool, bringing in the lovely mountain area breezes. Looking for peak Fall colors? The last week of October is sure to please. Planning for the holidays? We can point you in the right direction for events in the area. For safety reasons, Christmas trees (real or artificial) are prohibited. Let us know if you have questions about the seasons and what to expect!

WINTER ADVISORY: During Winter storms, snowfall can be abundant. It is a beautiful and unique time to be in the mountains. But be advised, services are limited in this remote Sierra mountain community. Access to the neighborhood roads, driveway and home entrance could be limited and sometimes impassable depending on the amount of snowfall. So if making plans to visit in the Winter, be flexible, bring the proper clothes and get ready to shovel! It can be a great adventure when you are prepared.

KITCHEN ITEMS: Firefall has just about everything you need to cook great meals. (Pots, pans, utensils, dishes, glassware, etc. ) If you think you need anything specific, just ask! Firefall does not have any shared pantry items, including cooking oils, coffee and tea. We will provide some general spices, however the amount is not guaranteed. The town of Oakhurst has grocery stores with everything you need to stock up on your way! And the Fish Camp Market (within walking distance) has many standard items available.
