2 reviews for Chateau Du Sureau
WOW! We found this place by chance/luck...we were planning a trip to the Yosemites and had our hearts set on The Ahwahnee because it's supposed to be the best place...well, they were sold out so I had to scramble, search and google for a decent place then (angels singing)...I came upon this place. Thank GOD!
I don't know where to start but this place is amazing. From the time we drove up to the gate...we knew we were in for a treat. It's a very small "Chateau", I think 10 rooms? so you get fantastic personal service...they just make you feel so pampered and important, like the master of the place. They remember your name and addres you as Mr., Mrs., Ms...checking on you every once in a while to see if you have need. Would you like a cup of tea? Some sweets? It's so cozy and oh so luxurious.
Each room has a theme and is beautifully decorated. We were given a tour of the place then shown to our room where all of our belongings were already in place, hung in armoires... The fireplace was welcoming with its flickers and crackling sound, the mantel had a bag of freshly baked mini cookies wrapped in clear cellophane tied w/ a ribbon. The sitting area has a tray with a pot of hot tea (their special blend and it's so good!) and tea sandwiches waiting, to "nourish" us from the drive...sigh! The canopy bed was simply divine - SO comfy! I can go on and on and on but you get where I'm going with all of this...
The "chateau" is beautiful inside and out. We took a walk and just felt so relaxed...the surrounding is just to peaceful and serene...time seem to be still...
We had dinner next door at the Elderberry House (another MUST, see review) and came back to the special service I ordered for my husband for his b-day)...a hot bath was drawn w/ lavendar...candles all around the tub, the fireplace w/ a roaring fire...it's so romantic that it's beyond words...
Breakfast next day was another fantastic experience. Everything was perfectly prepared, great service and surrounding...
I was so sad to leave but we'll be back...oh, they give you little carepacks upon your departure, some snacks to get you going!
I LOVE this place!
PS: will post some of the photos, hopefully you can see some of what i'm trying to get across here...
Expensive but worth every penny. Their service is impeccable - fresh cookies and a gugelhopf are left in your room every morning; Chocolates after turn-down service; Fresh lemonade ready when you return from your day at Yosemite; shoe shining the night before you leave. And even better, Erna's Elderberry House is 20 yards away. If you, for some reason, think that there's better dining to be had anywhere within 300 miles of Yosemite, then you are delusional.
The Chateau is in a class by itself - far above the Ahwahnee.
