"May wife and I spent four nights at this property. Our criteria for selecting it were dark skies (for stargazing) and proximity to Yosemite National Park. It takes a while to get to the park entrance from the property, but it's a scenic drive! The Pioneer Market in town (9 miles from the property) was a great source for groceries. The property itself is in immaculate condition. A real plus for us was that everything was well labelled and a binder of instructions and information was provided (the...

"We stayed here for one weekend for my son’s 20th birthday. Hot tub was great after a hike in Yosemite. It’s a drive to Yosemite…but a pretty one! Plenty of cooking tools, smart TVs, and the boys loved the pool table. Hard a hard time figuring out the Nest A/C, but it worked! Went to the store in Oakhurst on our way in. Look out for turkeys, squirrels, and many, many beautiful birds. It’s a good spot if you have younger kids too. Our kids are all between 17-21.On a clear night, you can see all...

"Amazing views. The stay was great because it was close to the Yosemite National Forest. Definitely recommend staying and enjoying "

"Very peaceful and quiet. Appreciated the firm mattress in the master bedroom. My constructive criticism would be to replace the sofa in front of the TV which we found to be uncomfortable. There is an another very comfortable sofa facing a window however!"

"The location was perfect for our motorcycle trip. Hosts were excellent! "

"Our family really enjoyed the stay here even though it is between the towns. It is conveniently located for the west and south gates of Yosemite and the two nearby towns. we loved Idle Hours, and the Hideout Saloon (great food at both). We had all the space and amenities we needed to feel like home. Everything we needed in the kitchen. Lots of games, movies and activities. Great local details book, and my son most enjoyed the ping pong table out front. Would definitely stay again if we are in...

"Our stay at this beautiful ranch was absolutely perfect! The property is stunning, with breathtaking views, charming animals, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it hard to leave. The location is ideal—close enough to Yosemite for easy day trips, yet far enough to enjoy the quiet serenity of the countryside. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. This is truly a hidden gem, and we can’t wait to come back!"
