Your Gateway to Things to Do in Yosemite

As the last outpost before walking into the wild adventure of Yosemite, The Inelle, Oakhurst Yosemite is your home base to experience the majesty of Yosemite and nearby Oakhurst attractions. Just 15 minutes from the entrance to Yosemite, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Oakhurst is an ideal location for travelers who want to experience the wonder and awe of the natural world during the day and return to modern comforts at night. 

Local Things to Do and See

With a golf course, a few wineries, art galleries, and a handful of diverse restaurants, Oakhurst offers destinations and experiences outside of the park. Find just a hint of civilization for the sophisticated explorer—a bottle of red and some welcomed dining options that satiate the soul before returning to the hotel.
