"Set in Yosemite Valley, this historic Ahwahnee Hotel is one of California's most iconic properties; its design inspired elements of The Shining and it is rumored to be haunted by friendly spirits. Visitors can join ghost tours and, especially during the Halloween season, explore nearby Yosemite Cemetery for more spine-tingling history." - Cu Fleshman Cu Fleshman Cu is a freelance writer and editor with more than five years of experience.

"Built in 1927, the Ahwahnee is a National Historical Landmark blending Art Deco and Native American architecture (noticeable in details like turquoise shutters) and offers dramatic views of Yosemite Falls, Half Dome, and Glacier Point; I also appreciate that the lodge is open year-round so you can experience Yosemite in any season." - Caitlin Morton
