Narrow Gauge Inn Yosemite A great place for family and friends to relax and enjoy nature. We are a unique and vintage property Mr. In 1990 Mr.

Built in1952, originally named the Swiss Melody Inn, the Narrow Gauge Inn was built by Swedish immigrants, Rudy and Luce Stauffer. The Stauffer family also purchased and restored the Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. The railroad remains in operation to this day and is easily accessible by a walking trail that joins the two properties. The Stauffer’s eventually sold the Narrow Gauge Inn to fo

cus on the railroad operation. The second owner George Cordingly renamed the inn, Narrow Gauge Inn to honor the neighboring railroad. Cordingly also added the restaurant to the property and brought fine dining in a rustic mountain lodge atmosphere to the Fish Camp area. Cordingly purchased the 1952 fire truck built by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Co., following the restoration of the firetruck it was placed in it’s garage here on the property for guests to enjoy. Although the Narrow Gauge Inn has gone through several ownership changes it remains a quaint and peaceful place to relax and enjoy the serenity of the forest. The Narrow Gauge Inn is family owned and operated by the Venkat family. We are not part of a franchise or large corporation. When you telephone or email the inn, you are speaking directly with us and we are grateful you chose us for your visit to the area.

🌲 Hello June in the Sierra.

Early summer in Fish Camp brings cool mornings and clear mountain air. Many rooms at Narrow Gauge Inn Yosemite feature private balconies, giving guests a quiet place to sip coffee while surrounded by tall sugar pines.

June is one of the best times to enjoy Yosemite before peak afternoon heat sets in. Mornings here are calm, fresh, and unhurried. ☕✨

🌲 Sundays are for slowing down.

At Narrow Gauge Inn Yosemite, there is no rush hour. Just the sound of wind moving through pine trees and the occasional bird call in the distance. Located in Fish Camp at about 4,000 feet elevation, the air stays cool even in early summer mornings.

Sometimes the best Yosemite plan is no plan at all. ✨

"I had the best chicken entree... You must try the train ride next door." 🍗🚂
Thank you to Ashley for the fabulous feedback! We are thrilled you loved the views, the service, and especially the dinner at Aroma Restaurant after your day in the park.

It sounds like you nailed the perfect Fish Camp itinerary: a day in Yosemite, a ride on the Sugar Pine Railroad right next door, and a hot meal waiting for you at the Inn.

🍷 There’s something about a slow pour of red wine in the mountains that just feels right.

At Aroma Restaurant & Buffalo Bar, evenings are best spent with a glass of local wine, good conversation, and the quiet charm of Fish Camp. Whether you are winding down after Yosemite adventures or simply savoring the moment, this might just be the perfect pour. ✨

Delete your "White Noise" app. You won't need it here. 🌲🎶
There is no playlist that can replicate the sound of the wind moving through a hundred-foot Sugar Pine or the distant call of a mountain chickadee.

Nature has its own rhythm. All you have to do is open the window and listen.

The waterfall without the crowds. 🌊
Everyone goes to Yosemite Falls. Locals and those in the know go to Chilnualna Falls in Wawona.

Located just minutes from the Inn, this trail offers a series of cascading waterfalls without the busloads of tourists. It is steeper and rugged, but having a waterfall almost to yourself? That is worth the climb.

Today we pause to remember and honor those who gave everything. 🇺🇸

As the unofficial start of summer begins here in the Sierra, we are grateful for the freedom to explore these mountains and gather with the ones we love.

Wishing you a peaceful and meaningful Memorial Day from all of us at Narrow Gauge Inn and Aroma Restaurant & Buffalo Bar.

The hardest part of the trip isn't the hike up the mountain. 🏔️
It is the drive down our driveway on check-out day.

Real life is calling, but if you "accidentally" leave your charger behind, you have a valid excuse to come back. We won't tell anyone.

The air just feels different at 5,000 feet. 🌲
There is a science to it, but we prefer the feeling.

The crisp, pine-scented air of the Sierra National Forest clears the lungs and the mind. It is nature's own reset button.

Take a deep breath. You are on mountain time now.
