Live Oak Lodge was born from a simple belief: travelers deserve a place that feels as considered as the destinations they're visiting. Located on the sun-drenched outskirts of Mariposa, our lodge has been a sanctuary for Yosemite-bound adventurers, family road-trippers, and weekend explorers for over a decade.
We don't just offer a bed for the night — we craft an experience. From the moment you arrive and the scent of fresh-baked scones greets you, to the last golden hour spent on your private balcony, every moment is designed to feel intentional and restorative.
"We stayed here on our way to Yosemite and it was the highlight of the trip. The room was immaculate, the breakfast was incredible, and the staff made us feel like family. Already planning our return visit."

"The location is unbeatable — so close to the park but quiet and peaceful. Our family room was spacious and the kids loved the pool. The complimentary breakfast saved us time each morning. Highly recommend!"
