PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Twenty wooded acres of Stanislaus National Forest, one mile from the Hetch Hetchy entrance to Yosemite National Park. The 88 cabins range from historic single-room retreats to two-bedroom family units, all with private decks and bathrooms. The main plaza anchors the property with a full-service restaurant, a classic tavern, general store, heated saltwater pool, hot tub, and a recreation center staffed with trained outdoor guides. Nightly s'mores by the fire are a lodge tradition. Guided hikes, biking, stargazing, and Yosemite excursions depart daily from the recreation desk. Cell service is limited; the isolation is a feature.OWNER STORY
The Evergreen Lodge has occupied its wooded perch off Highway 120 since 1921, when it was built to house workers constructing the O'Shaughnessy Dam in Hetch Hetchy Valley. Acquired in 2001 by two partners who bought it specifically to fund a youth employment program for under-served Bay Area young adults, it became a founding B Corporation in 2007 and has run the program continuously ever since. Today the lodge encompasses 88 cabins across 20 forested acres, a full-service restaurant, tavern, guided excursions, and a recreation department that functions as a personal Yosemite concierge. The entrance to Hetch Hetchy is one mile away.
