My husband and I spent a few days in Yosemite during Thanksgiving week. The weather was perfect for light hiking during the day. It's best to wear layers because it get's chilly at night during this time of year. Ron and Liz were great hosts. This B & B looks better and bigger in person than on the website or... more

We stayed at the Blue Butterfly for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. Liz and Ron who run the establishment are incredibly generous and thoughtful and made every effort to make our stay memorable. They helped us organise fishing trips and walks plus they even introduced us to some raccoons. Our bed was very comfortable and the shower had... more

Couldn't ask for a better bed, breakfast or hosts! A great location, wonderfully appointed rooms, next to an incredible park. Traveler's tip - Get Ron to show you pictures of him climbing El Capitan! more

All the superlatives have been used to describe this B & B by previous reviewers.It really is as good as they all say and more. more

You will have to look far and wide to find another B&B that measures up to the standards of the Blue Butterfly. My wife and I visited Yosemite a couple of weekends ago and stumbled upon this jewel in El Portal. It is flanked on both sides by the town’s behemoth Yosemite View Lodge – what a contrast. The atmosphere... more
