Lodging Tips
The lodging options below are listed in order of closest to furthest from our wedding venue! We strongly encourage you to google map the drive TIME (not necessarily the mileage) between your lodging and the venue. Driving in the mountains is a unique experience for many, including single lane highways winding through mountains and lack of street lighting.
For more options beyond those listed below, you may consider checking lodging in Mariposa, CA!
