Cabin Home near Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Foothills

Our quaint cabin home is located in the small historic town of Raymond, CA, in the heart of the Sierra foothills, 39.2 miles from the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park. This newly built cabin features modern conveniences with tranquility and a rustic feel. Experience breathtaking views, beautiful sunsets, hiking, a seasonal creek, an abundance of wildlife, and incredible rock formations to explore. The cabin is on 40 acres of rolling hills full of oaks and pines and is surrounded by hundreds more. Horses are welcome - we have two temporary horse corrals.

The small (916 sq. ft.) 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin can accommodate up to eight total guests as it has three queen beds and two foam floor mats. One of the queen beds is located in a sleeper sofa located in the living room. The 3rd queen and two sleeper mats are located in a low loft more suited for children. Our base rate includes up to four guests; additional guests are $25/night/guest. We can accommodate up to two dogs for a pet fee of $100.

If you are looking for a bit more space, search also for the Hafkey Cabin Escape 2, which is located nearby and features 1280 square feet, 2-bedrooms, 2-baths and a larger sleeping loft.

Raymond is a very historic small town featuring an incredible free museum (open Sundays only), as well as a general store, restaurant, saloons, lakes, rivers, hiking trails, granite mine, historic markers and the famous stage run to Yosemite. In the old days, before all the highways were built, travelers heading north to Yosemite National Park took the train to Raymond and then caught a stage to make the rest of the trek. Remnants of the old railway and turntable, to turn the train around, are still visible and showcased at the Raymond Museum.

Today, bike and motorcycle enthusiasts from all over the world come to Raymond to ride the old stage road (now Road 600) and other curvy byways to Yosemite, stopping to visit the many historical monuments on the way.

Travel to Yosemite National Park:

Although we are relatively close to the southern entrance, the park is massive and winding roads and slow traffic increase travel time substantially. Give yourself at least an hour to reach the southern entrance to the park and even more time to get to popular sites within the park. The Mariposa Grove (giant sequoias) is very close to the entrance of the park.

Beautiful Home on an Abundance of Land
Beautiful home on an abundance of land. Sunrises and Sunsets are beautiful. Having morning coffee on the deck watching the dog run around brought lots of joy to my wife and I. Not too far from Yosemite! Would definitely stay here again

Winter escape
Very peaceful property. Really enjoyed the wildlife and waking up to the sounds of nature. We were able to roam the property with no restrictions, other than close the gate behind you 😊. Mark and Adriana were wonderful hosts and amazing people to talk with. Will be making a return visit soon.

We loved it!!
The cabin is really nice, cozy and clean! We were so impressed to know that the owner's family built this beautiful cabin. We had a great time there even though the weather was not great. We enjoyed cooking every meal, reading books, playing card games and just being lazy. (That is one of the cabin rules!) The location is also fantastic. Quiet and peaceful. We'd like to come back there in a different season!

A little slice of Heaven.....
By far, this was the best RVBO stay I've experienced. The property is fantastic. The home is comfortable and the front porch view has the perfect setting for stunning sunsets. Mark and his wife were soooo accommodating. Through the Blizzard of '23, and two Atmospheric Rivers they kept in communication to insure I kept my stay. Mark gave me some great recommendations to visit in town. I was fortunate to have a morning visit each day from three turkeys who seemed content to circle the cabin looking for bugs to eat. It was really hard to leave after three nights. I'll be back for sure.

Another amazing trip!
This place is such an amazing peaceful property. My Husband and I have stayed here a total of 3 times so far and plan on staying many more times in the future. Our dogs enjoy roaming the property with us and playing so much they sleep for a week after we leave. The adventures walking the trails and rolling hills are what we love the most with amazing views. It's so peaceful. The home is utterly amazing. The hosts are so nice, accommodating, and just generally awesome people. They are there if you need them but give you the privacy you're probably looking for booking a place like this. Trust me, you won't be disappointed in this place.

Delightful retreat from the crowds
An excellent escape from the crowds of Yosemite, but well within range for day trips. High powered AC. Good water. Well-built cabin with amazing porch to soak in the sun and the quiet. Loved the recommendation to go see the Raymond museum. Mark was a communicative and helpful host.

What a peaceful getaway!
My Husband and our dogs have stayed here twice now and this is an amazing place! Such beautiful, secluded scenery with great land to roam and stroll around. The home is immaculate and stocked well with things needed. The hosts are great friendly people who are there if you need them but leave you in peace if you don't need them. We cannot wait to book more trips here in the future. The sunsets will take your breath away. We have yet to explore the town of Raymond yet because we can't seem to peel ourselves away from the gorgeous views and leisurely walks we take around the property. Thank you guys for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful property and cabin. We find such peace and great mental respite from the everyday hustle when we visit here.

Awesome cabin, views, and hosts
The cabin is new with updated fixtures throughout. I loved the style they chose for the closet doors, lighting, etc. When I needed a baking dish, Adrianne brought it to me. The only possible thing I would suggest is some oven bakeware. Other than that, they had everything we needed.

Very cool place
We loved it! Our kids especially liked the loft. The property is really cool and although it’s a bit of a drive to Yosemite, it was fun to see the cute towns on the way. We loved the cows on the property and even saw some other wildlife. It felt super clean and welcoming. The owners were extremely helpful and easy to get in contact with. We would love to stay here again.

This land is your land
Those green hills beyond the roadside ranch fences are yours to explore if you stay at this gem off on its own miles from anything. No neighbors in sight just nature. Wildflowers, wildlife, the peaceful cows, and the sky. And of course hot water, soft beds, internet and cell connections, an equipped kitchen, and a brand new structure neat and tidy. This is a very special rental property.

Amazing private retreat
My Husband and our two labradors thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is beautiful and very well done. It was perfect for what we wanted it for, peace and privacy. Hiking the rolling hills to the top overlooking Raymond and the snow covered mountains was absolutely wonderful! Our labradors slept for a week after returning. Calm evenings by the fire with the provided firewood and early morning hikes with our dogs were just what we needed to recharge. Mark was amazing through the entire process. We cannot wait to come back and let our fur babies enjoy themselves again. Thanks again Mark for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Beautiful, secluded cabin getaway
I can't think of one negative thing to say about this cabin. The cabin itself is very new and exceptionally clean. The hosts were kind and accommodating. The land surrounding the cabin was absolutely beautiful, we spent much of our trip walking around the property. We saw lots of animals. There were cows grazing all around us, wild turkeys, bobcats, and hawks. My 4 year old loved seeing all the animals right outside our window every morning. We loved that the cabin was dog friendly, we felt comfortable letting our dogs roam. I think our dogs may have had more fun than we did! Overall it was a great stay, and a great way to "socially distance" away from home! We will most definitely be back again! Thank you Mark and Adriana!
