There is nothing wrong with wanting comfort, even luxury, when you visit outdoor scenic sites. The ides that one must stay in rustic, even primitive accomodations to get "full enjoyment" out of a place like Yosemite is palpable claptrap.

i recommend staying in Oakhurst, a few miles from the South entrance of the park, at Chateau de Sureau, a member of Relias et Chateaux. Wonderful accomodations and stellar cuisine at proprieter Erna Kubin's on-site restaurant.

Yes, you must drive a certain distance to reach Yosemite Valley, but then, the Yosemite experience is much more than just Yosemite Valley.
