If you fancy a stay in a "log cabin in the woods for city slickers" then Evergreen Lodge is for you. It's in the forest area just outside the park and close to "Hetch Hetchy" gate on the west side of Yosemite and is a well laid-out complex of very comfortable accommodation with a central restaurant/bar/shop.
The prices are very reasonable and for Brits, with the exchange rate as it is, well, say no more. There is, of course, the whole of Yosemite to go at.

To escape the bustle of the city, take a day trip (or longer if you are able) to Yosemite National Park. It's a long day but one of the most sensational days I've ever had. The memories of this astounding place live with me every day and I'm planning my next trip to do some serious hiking! Awesome - the highlight of our trip to the city.
Driving distance from San Francisco is approximately four hours;

In the unlikely event you should get tired of San Francisco, Incredible Adventures organise day trips to places like Yosemite or Muir Woods/Wine Country (the latter being particularly recommended). You get picked up at your hotel by a knowledgeable guide driving an eco-friendly van run on biodiesel, where you join the small group you’ll be spending your day with.
