The Blue Butterfly is gorgeous inside and out. Our room was spacious and furnished with beautiful antiques. Our balcony overlooked the Merced river and we were treated to a non-stop show by hummingbirds of several varieties. Breakfast was served on the patio. Food was very good, but lacked that “something special” (for example, the fruit salad was from a can).... More

This delightful B & B is tucked away in the back of a larger complex of restaurants and hotel buildings. Its back deck is right at, and above, the edge of the Merced R. in an area of moderate rapids. Looking out, one sees and hears the beautiful river and tree lined bank across. Breakfast is served on the deck,... More

The Blue Butterfly Inn would be a very fine B&B in any case, but its location is incredible. It's minutes from the 140 entrance to Yosemite, and the place sits right on top of a scenic part of the Merced River with rapids flowing by. We stayed in the Meadow Lily Room, large, nicely decorated, with quite a view of... More

What a great B&B! Location is perfect - about a 2 min drive to the park entrance. We stayed in the Glasgow Rose room and it was very comfortable. Slept with the windows open and were lulled to sleep by the sound of the river (no need for the white noise machine here!). Liz and Ron were so nice and... More

The king bed in the Glasgow Rose room was a welcome sight each day of the 5 we spent in Yosemite in May. Each night we were lulled to sleep by the sound of the river behind us. Liz and Ron were the perfect host and hostess making us feel right at home with the "just right" cup of tea... More

The lovely Sunflower Suite at the Blue Butterfly Inn was the perfect place to celebrate my husband's big "Zero" Birthday. We loved all of Liz's touches like the sunflowers in the blue mug pitcher ala Van Gogh, the art easel, paintbrushes in a container. The room is filled with other types of art -- and sunlight everywhere under the vaulted... More

We absolutely loved our stay at the Yosemite Blue Butterfly Inn - Liz and Ron were fantastic hosts and made us feel incredibly welcome in their beautiful home. Our room (the California Poppy) was full of beautiful antique furniture, and as they were not fully booked when we stayed, Liz gave us the chance to have a look at the... More

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was in May 2013. The Inn is situated right on the Merced River with a stunning view from the rooms and the deck where a yummy home cooked breakfast is served and only a few hundred yards to Yosemite NP. Liz and Ron were wonderful hosts making you feel like you... More

This place was quite nice. That being said, I'm not much of a bed & breakfast traveler, so I really feel when I don't have my space (and that was the experience here): staying in someone else's house. (However, there's not that much choice by Yosemite, and the location is very good.)
