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.

🌲 Stand among giants.

Mariposa Grove in Yosemite National Park is home to over 500 mature giant sequoias, including the Grizzly Giant. A free shuttle operates from the Mariposa Grove Welcome Plaza during the main season, helping visitors access the grove responsibly.

Staying in Fish Camp places you near Yosemite’s South Entrance, making it easier to begin your day close to one of the park’s most iconic natural landmarks.

Some trees are older than entire nations. 🌿

⛺ Ever wondered how Fish Camp got its name?

In the late 1800s, this area developed as a stopping point for travelers and workers heading toward Yosemite. The community became known as Fish Camp, a name linked to the fishing activity in the surrounding streams during that era.

Today, Narrow Gauge Inn Yosemite continues that tradition of welcome, offering a place to pause before heading deeper into the park.

History here is layered into the landscape. 🌲

🪵 Rustic does not mean roughing it.

Narrow Gauge Inn Yosemite features classic California mountain decor, blending natural wood tones with comfortable bedding and private bathrooms in every room. It is the kind of setting that feels authentic to the Sierra, not generic.

After a full day exploring Yosemite, returning to warm wood interiors and forest views just feels right. 🌲

🌬️ Not all summer mornings feel the same.

Fish Camp sits at approximately 4,000 feet elevation, which means June mornings are typically cooler and more comfortable compared to lower elevations. It is one of the quiet advantages of staying just outside Yosemite.

Open your door. Step onto your patio or balcony. Let the forest wake you up.

🕊️ June 19, 1865.

Juneteenth commemorates the day the last enslaved people in Texas were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Today is a reminder of resilience, progress, and the continued work of justice. In the quiet of the Sierra, we take a moment to honor that history with reflection and respect.
