Yosemite Region Welcomes New Resort

Sep 28, 2015

What:
Outdoor enthusiasts will now be able to book a stay at Rush Creek Lodge, Yosemite National Park’s newest resort. Reservations can be made for travel beginning June 15, 2016.

Why It Matters:
Although the Yosemite region hasn’t seen a new resort in more than 25 years, Rush Creek Lodge’s timing couldn’t be more perfect. The property is accepting its first bookings as the travel industry wraps up another year of steady growth, and just before we head into 2016 — the National Park Services’ 100th Anniversary year. It’s a well-planned recipe guaranteed to produce a sweet outcome for both the lodge’s guests and the agents who book them. To coincide with the centennial, those who book a stay before the end of the year will receive a $100 lodge credit through the resort’s “Find Your Park” promotion.

Fast Facts:
- The resort will have 143 guestrooms, suites and hillside villas.

- The “Find Your Park” $100 Lodge Credit for 2016 is available to those who book stays before the end of 2015.

- The resort is located on 20 acres of wooded land near Yosemite National Park.

- The resort will have meeting and event space for up to 250 people, and will also offer customized activity packages for groups.

- The resort is named a Certified B Corporation, given to properties that meet specific sustainability and environmental performance standards.

What They Are Saying:
