My mother and I spent 2 delightful nights at the Blue Butterfly Inn. It used to be a tradition for the two of us to meet in Yosemite for a Mother's Day weekend. We have been unable to do that for the last 15 years due to geography, my father's health, etc. We were both excited by the idea of... more

We loved our stay at the Blue Butterfly Inn! Our hosts, Ron and Liz, anticipated so many details that their guests could want or need. We stayed in the Meadow Lily room for 5 nights. We slept better than we had slept for a long time. The bed was really comfortable! And it was great to fall asleep to the... more

We stayed here for 2 nights as part of our trip around California. As we arrived we were given a very warm welcome by Liz & Ron. After helping us with our lugggage we were given a guided tour of the beautiful house designed by Liz herself and enjoyed a refreshing glass of ice tea. The attention to detail within... more

We would endorse so much others that have said about the Blue Butterfly - the friendly owners, the elegant decor, the delicious breakfasts. However, although we hesitate to step out of line the other glowing reports, we feel we should mention a couple of drawbacks. The first could easily be rectified: there was very little storage in our room: just... more

We recentely returned from our trip to this wonderful Bed and Breakfast near Yosemite. The house is gorgeous, the breakfast superb, the room spacious we stayed in the Lotus Suite which had its own deck overlooking the river. Ron and Liz were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, all were treated like familly. We cannot recommend it highly... more

My boyfriend and I were lucky enough to stay here purely by chance having arrived in Yosemite with no accommodation booked. A quick telephone call answered by Ron with easy directions and we had soon arrived at this remarkable and beautiful gem of a B&B. An unusual 95 degrees outside when we arrived was soon forgotten as Liz handed us... more

Beyond the quality of this B&B, the hosts brought out the best in the people we met each morning and upon returning from the park. During our four night stay we enjoyed sharing experiences and views with guests from near, far, and very far, and breakfast on the deck by the river is one of the best we've ever had.... more

Stayed here for only 2 nights, nowhere near enough time to properly explore Yosemite. Would stay for at least 4 nights next time and definitely at the Blue Butterfly. The rooms are huge, furniture/decor is nice and hosts Liz & Ron are great. The location is a bit odd as it sits bang in the middle of another hotel complex,... more

We spent three wonderful nights at the Blue Butterfly and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The location is excellent (don't be discouraged by the parking lot entrance) and the accommodations are immaculate, charming and totally comfortable. Ron and Liz are superb hosts and very well informed about the Park and surrounding area. Breakfasts are amazing and kept us well-fueled for a day... more

After much research, my wife and I decided to stay at the Yosemite Blue Butterfly Inn when we visited Yosemite National Park. We had high expectations and all of them were far exceded. Owners Liz and Ron Shelton are two of the nicest people you could ever meet. Their beautiful B & B is located on the Merced river just... more
