We were originally booked to stay at the Buck Meadows Lodge, but due to a plumbing issue (that was found before we arrived) we were upgraded to these cabins! On our honeymoon no less! The cabins are wonderful, relaxing, and in a beautiful area. Communication with staff during the room change was very easy and they were extremely friendly and professional. Highly recommend!
A Cozy and Welcoming Last- Minute Find! My wife and I were returning from a trip to Lake Tahoe and planned to stop at Yosemite National Park. Unfortunately, every hotel around the park was fully booked. Someone recommended The Inn at Sugar Pine in Groveland, and we're so glad they did! We called and booked everything over the phone (though it could have easily been done through their website). The hosts were friendly and accommodating, and the cottage itself was cozy, clean, and perfect for an unexpected overnight stay. It turned out to be a lovely surprise-quiet, comfortable, and exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. We truly appreciated finding such a welcoming place on short notice. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Yosemite or passing through the area!
We stayed here for one night after camping in Yosemite. Wonderful hospitality, cozy and clean room, and a lovely property! I would definitely stay here again.
I had a wonderful weekend at the Ranch. It’s the perfect location for a trip to Yosemite. After a long day of hiking, it was great being close to town to relax and grab a bite to eat. I’m someone that gets cold easily, so I was delighted to see that our room came with a powerful heating unit. I’ll surely stay here again when I’m visiting Yosemite.
Nice comfortable cottage. Quiet and away from crowds at Yosemite. Minimal staff service, which we really didn't need. But if you like being catered too, may not be your choice. We would rent again.
Lovely cottages nestled in the woods. Large pool with plenty of room for the family. 20-minute drive to Yosemite Gate. Get up here for some relaxation.
My fiancée and I spent 4 nights in one of the deluxe cottages and had a wonderful stay. The cottage was well maintained and peaceful. We used this site as our launch point for Yosemite Day trips. It's located about 30 mins from the park gate and an hour to the valley. We both really appreciated how calm and quiet the property was as we were leaving early each morning and going to bed early each night. They have a beautiful large pool, the fridge is a good size, the AC is relatively quiet, and the mattresses are on the firmer side. We would recommend staying here and would stay again.
A wonderfully authentic and cozy hotel, white and surrounded by greenery, set back from the road so it feels private and peaceful. Very comfortable, charming, and exactly as expected — a perfect place to rest and recharge while traveling. I really liked that previous guest feedback had been taken into account: for example, now there is a coffee machine in the room, making it especially pleasant to wake up and enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea. Would recommend to those looking for a peaceful, comfortable stopover surrounded by greenery
