I'm considering heading out there for a month. The Yosemite website makes it sound like my Verizon 4g lte hotspot will work near the lodge there. Does anyone have experience with this? I'd have to work 6:30am - 3:30pm 4 days a week.

Verizon data is right on the edge at the lodge.
All the trees from the cell tower in Yose village attenuate the 4g signal.
If you connect in the Yosemite village the data speeds are excellent.
Yosemite lodge not so good .....

I don't know if this happens with Verizon or not. I use AT&T and run into what seems to be data bottlenecks for hours at times. I can have a very good signal 4 bars. (usually at the village) Yet data speeds can sometimes drop to unusable. My guess is that whatever pipeline AT&T has out of the valley is not enough for peak demand.
I'm guessing this does not affect the Parks own internal DATA stream...(yeah its an assumption..I know). Which is pretty hard for us visitors to access...

Define work, cause a hand job is still a job.

Have worked for weeks at a time from a gazebo in the middle of a koi pond up on Monkey Forest Road in Ubud, Bali and from a lake beach here in Oregon - depends on what the work is and how connected you need to be. Didn't need to be connected more than occasionally in Bali; was working for a large corporate client from the lake beach and needed to be connected, but was near an AT&T cell tower used for the dam's management and instrumentation. Also often use a large Goal Zero battery unit.

Are you just ssh'ing into servers or are you sending video edits back and forth to team mates all day? Or just web surfing to gather data or look up stuff?
I worked from a hotel in Palermo for a week, even did Webex sessions and set up a VoIP client on my smartphone because I didn't have international roaming. You can make it work.
Based on Werner's feedback, village sounds like the place to hang.
