Pine Rose Inn

Me and Bro came up here for a spot to relax after a day of dirt bike riding. Bonus that it had a jacuzzi tub to soak after a day of ripping trails. Bonus it has a stove to cook ! Well the room was dirty and cluttered, Repeat on what has already been said. So dirty and cluttered. If they took one weekend to clean up and organize that would get them another star. Only giving two stars because the Jacuzzi was clean, and we could cook a steak. So sad that a great property is owned and or operated by two idiots with no pride. This place has so much potential its sad to see it like this.

I think my comments exactly mirror Gina R’s: the rooms were dirty, the place was run down (broken chairs, ripped sofa, missing lamp shades, etc), filthy windows, etc. The breakfast was passable only on the last day after we gave suggestions (they served Tang the first two days). The amount of junk around the grounds made the outdoor areas unsightly. While the staff were very nice, they clearly have no idea of what it takes to run a B&B. While this B&B may have been «rustic» or «kitchy» 15 years ago, now it is just a dump.

What a horrible horrible place. Made a booking 6 days prior to my stay and was called by an ignorant pos and told they no longer have a place for me? Wtf? Where am I supposed to go now? If you are in the business of serving people, learn how to do your job. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE. After my complaint, they stopped answering the phone completely. Horrible peoplle and horrible business values. Got hung up on by both the owners on different occasions. Pathetic.

My stay at the Pine Rose was overall disappointing, though the owners made just barely enough effort to keep it from being awful. One star is for the bed being comfortable enough to sleep in, the other being for the tasty second morning’s breakfast (the first one was pretty sad).
I was very sad about how dirty and junky the place was– even the kitchen where they made our food was cluttered. Many nice amenities would be possible if some effort was made to keep things clean, organized, and in working order. The owners were polite, but did not make me feel confident in their ability to run their business.
Due to the dirty bathroom, I don’t think I will stay here again unless I’m not able to pay just $ 40 more to stay in a much nicer accommodation in Oakhurst. Sometimes, convenience is worth a little extra. I’d sooner pack a tent and a sleeping bag than pay for a bed at the Pine Rose.

Well Greg’s a great guy, can’t say the same for the lady… with that said, here we go. Spiders in the sink and ants on the nightstand! I set some jerky on my nightstand for a few minutes… looked over and it was covered in ants. Property is dingy. My room smelled like a casino, not very pleasant to a non smoker. Bed wasn’t bad, Fridge and microwave worked fine. The shower was dangerous, had about a 4 foot wall you have to climb over. Our AC stopped working so the lady said to turn it off and turn it back on, a few minutes later Greg came to check it out. We discovered about a 1 inch layer of ice on the filter. When my girlfriend asked her if she could change rooms she was told to open the door or she could be given a fan. So much for accommodation. If you’re just looking for a place to stop because you need to crash you’ll be alright. Don’t expect too much.

DO NOT STAY HERE! This was the most disgusting place we have ever stayed. Rat poop in the fridge, dried up petrified dog crap on the floor next to the bed, and the list goes on. No smoke detectors, 10′ away from Bass Lake Road with all the noise. Very funky and crappy furniture, crappy TV, just plain awful. WIFI did not reach our room and no cell reception at all with Verizon.

It was a very quaint and nice place to stay. The owners were very nice and helpful, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend people to stay here.

Although for from perfect luxury, I enjoyed my 2 nights very much. Comfortable room, private patio & dog-​friendly. Greg is a good host, although he seems overwhelmed when it comes to maintaining the place. Lots of little details could have been attended to easily if he had the staff but I got the impression he didn’t. Lots of leaves & cobwebs & dust on the outdoor areas, broken light fixtures; that type of things. Cluttered dining room that guests probably shouldn’t have to see. Then again, Sunday morning breakfast was a foodie’s dream – lemon waffles! So delicious!

This place sucks don’t recommend the rooms are very dirty they had ants in the room there was a lot of dust staff was not very friendly and breakfast was over cooked refrigerator was broken and very outdated furniture and décor weird place to stay don’t stay here even if it’s free to stay also bed was very uncomfortable would rather sleep on concrete there was enough dust and dirt in room to fertilize my lawn nice breath that dust inn

My husband and I stay at a lot of B&Bs, so I feel I have a pretty good idea of what is expected. On the upside, the Innkeeper, Anita, was friendly. Our bed itself was clean and comfortable. That’s the end of the pluses. We asked her for an earlier breakfast, coffee and toast, at 8am. That request seemed unusual to her, but she agreed. She showed us to our eclectically decorated room, #7. The bedside lamps and TV were not working. After helping her try to fix the problem, we went to dinner at Bass Lake. The lamps worked and the TV as well. It gets poor reception for a TV with cable. Why do innkeepers have fake plants & flowers if they don’t plan on dusting? We skipped using the Whir pool as a tub, and used the shower in it. The shower was a trickle. In the morning, Anita had forgotten she’d agree to have toast and coffee for us. She told her astonished son (What? Early breakfast?!) she told us 8:30. We wouldn’t have agreed to that. She could have said «no early breakfast» and we would have been fine with that. As it was, toast and coffee kept being played out with promises of fruit (Ambrosia) and eggs & potatoes shortly. We were trying not to be rude, she was attempting to remedy the situation, but in the end we did not get out until after 9am. I didn’t eat the breakfast as I am squeamish about cleanliness. Too much dust, cat hair and dirty containers/​cutlery being used. The outside of the carafe needs cleaned, too, you know. The butter served was in a messy butter dish, and had sat out too long at some point, and now had that weird clear layer at the surface, and tasted funny. After I went back to our room, Anita offered to comp the room, but my husband wouldn’t do that. I could go on about what an untidy place it was, but you get the idea. This gal is over her head running this Inn with her son, and it shows. We heard lots of excuses and unhappiness. I think what bothers me is that this Inn could be darling with a bit more elbow grease, glue, paint (done properly!) What a sad waste.

Let me start off saying for the money we paied it was what we got. And we won’t be going back. We never got to try the rolls because she burnt them. And this is why we went to this place. Ants in the room. The place was run down, they couldn’t keep up with the work of cleaning. Breakfast was over cooked. Eggs were rubbery and the bacon was hard as a rock and icky. The kitchen was dirty. The owner wined about how they got suckered into doing the business and how they are in debit forever and will be stuck doing it forever. And how they can’t hire any decent help up there. It was my first B&B experience. I thought it would be my last. I don’t recommend it one bit.

There were a few things I was looking forward to during my Yosemite vacation and The Pine Rose Inn: A nice hot jacuzzi bath, a nice warm room, some afternoon wine, and a good, meat-​free breakfast. Unfortunately, the hot water ran out after about 8 gallons and had to heat water on the stove, the room was dirty and cold as the heater barely worked and the firewood didn’t take, no wine offered, and after being told that I do not eat meat a minimum of 3 times, I was presented with a full plate of bacon in the morning.
This place has potential, the owner is nice enough, but the whole place needs a fresh coat of paint, some upkeep, and a good overall cleaning. Guests should not have to clean hair out of the bathtub before getting in nor wear jackets and flannels to bed.
I have learned my lesson and will always check Unilocal before staying anywhere.

Had to write this review so others would not have to go through the same experience as me. Agree with Don G about too expensive and too dirty. We booked here because we were looking for a room with a Jacuzzi. It wasnt really clean and could not be used. The room had some cobwebs and wasn’t equipped well.
The host was very friendly but was very chilled out and gave a vibe that he could not be bothered with what we needed. They ran out of breakfast at 10:00 AM (the sign at the door said, breakfast 9:00 to 10:30 AM) and what was left of food had flies on them. We were thinking twice about having the breakfast but were too apprehensive because of the condition of kitchen in general.
I feel bad about giving this review because the host was friendly. The host saw us disgruntled and wanted to compensate but he really had no idea about service. For the price you can definitely do better. If i am on a budget and traveling on $ 75 a night then i would stay here. For $ 159+ taxes, i think you can do much better in other places in the vicinity.

First of all, you’re in the middle of nowhere so take this into consideration while writing a review for a family run inn. We rented the #4 cottage, with a kitchen and two bedrooms. The kitchen was small and dated — something straight out of the 70’s/60’s with an electric kitchen and regular sized oven. It did come with one full bathroom, that included a full size jacuzzi bath… in case you wanted to use it. Both bedrooms had air conditioning, which we used heavily since both days that we stayed it was over 90 degrees during the daytime.
I agree with comments about the dirty carpet, the pots and pans were burned and needed to be replaced. The owner did however, give us clean towels and made the bed for us. There was very little dish soap when we came in, we couldn’t find any salt, but I had brought some with us– so that wasn’t a problem, there wasn’t any cooking oil either, but what really bothered me is that we didn’t have any cooking knives in the cottage. I’m sure if we had asked for cooking knives, salt and oil, they would have given us some, but we didn’t. We were 10 minutes from two supermarkets (Vons and Raley’s) and a drugstore. There is very little cell phone reception if any at all, but once you drive out of road 222 and into the 49, you get full reception. Other than that, I can’t really complain. The cottage looks like it was built in small portions and therefore the architecture is a little quirky, but I would stay here again. Here are my reasons why…
Both rooms came with plenty of clean blankets, we had a nice size patio which we used to eat at night. We came back too late to even want to explore the jacuzzi, but we did try the breakfast and the homemade cinnamon buns were great. The inn was 14 miles from the south entrance to Yosemite and when everything else is overbooked, this is an easy alternative to staying inside the park. Also, the bedroom downstairs has a fireplace and in the cold winter, this would come in handy.
This place is definitely not for everyone, but if you enjoy the rugged mountain feeling, then you could make this place work for you. I also placed the pricing as moderate because we were only charged $ 175 per night (for 2 people) with an additional $ 10 per person, which for the area, is fairly reasonable. It is close to Yosemite and everything can get pricy in the middle of summer and therefore I’m willing to go back again if I can’t stay inside the park. In addition, they are very dog friendly. I would call this place high end camping– bring your own food, make your own meals and enjoy the mountains.

We stayed here one night before heading over to Bass Lake. We were initially supposed to be in the Blue Spruce Room but someone with a similar name had checked in before us and took that room. We wound up getting a different room for the same price and it was actually a much nicer/​larger room. The owners were very friendly & accommodating. They had a little picnic area with a bbq pit that we used that evening. The place was clean, quiet and very peaceful. We did not stay for breakfast but it really did look and smell good. We will definitely go back to stay here if we are in the area.
I’m pricing this at «moderate» because for what we got I thought it was certainly reasonable — and if it had been split between the number of people the room could hold it would have been super cheap!
