About six miles farther down the hill (from Yosemite View Lodge), you will find the Cedar Lodge with 210 rooms (22 with kitchenettes), indoor and outdoor pools, a restaurant adjacent and access to a beach along the Merced River.
Cedar Lodge does have a history that might spook some travelers: In 1999, a lodge handyman named Cary Stayner killed four women, two of them in their guest room at the lodge. Stayner is locked away on San Quentin's Death Row, and hotel management has found nonpublic uses for the room where the killings occurred.
