In the middle of the small but busy town of Oakhurst, the well reviewed Best Western Yosemite Gateway Inn has a pleasant setting amidst pine and oak woodland, along CA 41 half a mile north of the junction with CA 49. The southern entrance station of Yosemite National Park at Wawona is just 15 miles away to the north. The hotel's 122 rooms are divided into several blocks surrounded by gardens (with waterfall) and trees, close to various shops and restaurants along the main road through Oakhurst. Leisure amenities comprise indoor & outdoor pools, exercise room, sun deck, spa and cocktail lounge.

Right next to the Best Western at 40489 Highway 41 in Oakhurst is the 113 room Comfort Inn Yosemite, which provides free continental breakfast, an outdoor pool (seasonal), spa, gift shop and free internet access. There are several restaurants and lounges within walking distance and many recreational activities nearby including the Chukchansi Casino a few miles south, golf at Cedar Valley, boating & fishing on Bass Lake and of course Yosemite National Park to the north.
