Great place to stay if you're exploring Yosemite

Depending on where you're visiting in Yosemite, this is a 50 min - 1.5 hr drive away. The owner gave clear instructions on how to get to the place. She also left home baked bread for us. A cozy stay that felt more like a home than a hotel. Great for a peaceful rest after a long day out hiking!

We stayed two nights and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything was just perfect – the accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the whole atmosphere was calm and welcoming. As many others have mentioned, the food was simply fantastic. Every meal was delicious, made with care and creativity – honestly some of the best we’ve had in a long time (order the picnic basket for your day in Yosemite, you won't regret it 😉). Daniella is the best host in the world – incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive. She gave us great recommendations on what to see in the area and made sure we had everything we needed. Her hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone. If you're visiting Yosemite, don’t miss it!

Perfect stay to find peace

Daniela is the perfect host. She is so nice and helpful. The ranch is on top of the hill, so you have amazing views from the balcony.

A hidden gemstone in the backcountry.

An extraordinary place, furnished and decorated with care and love, as clean as it can get and quite and peaceful. A remote little tiny house on the countryside. You‘ll love it

Perfect

We’ve stayed in the tiny house. It was really great. Although it was very hot the a/c worked good. Also in the nighttime it’s really beautiful to sit outside and watch the stars. And the best thing was of course Daniela her home made Italian food. It was delicious!! The ride to Yosemite is also manageable. Keep up the good work Daniela, we’ll definitely come back some day.

The sign at the front gate is very off putting - It read 'Trespassers will be subject to a citizen's arrest'. Frankly, it made me quite afraid, and I don't think properties that have such an attitude of belligerence should be allowed on commercial booking sites.

Recommended place when you visit Yosemite and the nearby

Great quality/price ratio compared to the zone. Daniela was hyper friendly and kind, we bought dinner from here both the evenings that we were there: delicious and healthy.

Loved how remote it was, the drive up there was like a dream for me coming from the uk and not having scenery like that. The place itself had everything I could ask for and from my porch I saw lizards, hares, hummingbirds and Pluto (or maybe Bluto) the neighbours dog that came and climbed all over me as I sat on the porch 😆 From the main house the sunset was stunning. The food was delicious too and very filling. I would recommend this place. You get an experience you would never get at a chain hotel.

A memorable stay that will stay in our hearts forever.

The location was a dream, in the middle of an oasis of greenery. In the evening a sea of stars and the sound of crickets kept you company. Daniela, who is generous, full of energy, and great fun, is an amazing cook and every day we had a delicious breakfast and dinner out on the decking of our exquisite tiny house.

A hidden gem with lots of character, an amazing owner and fantastic food!

A hidden Gem. The ranch is situated 30 minutes away from the Southern Entrance at Yosemite so convenient if you are visiting the National Park and away from the crowds. The ranch is situated in a wonderful and peaceful location with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. We stayed in the main building with 2 comfortable bedrooms and a large bathroom with a fantastic shower. The building was surrounded by a large veranda and we very much enjoyed spending time there, watching rabbits, squirrels and even a visiting deer family. Highlight of the day was sitting on the veranda, sipping wine and watching the sunset and the stars coming out. The accommodation, which also includes a very cute mini house, was run by the lovely Daniela. She was fantastic! Very friendly, informative and so welcoming . She is also an amazing cook - thanks for all the bruschetta! Before moving to USA, Daniela had her own bakery in Italy and we were fortunate to be able to enjoy her gorgeous dinners and puddings. We ended up having dinner on the veranda every night! I can not recommend this place enough!

Felt like a home away from home thanks to our lovely host who made us feel so comfortable

Lovely two-bedroomed place on a ranch with beautiful views. Daniela is a great cook and prepared delicious dinner and breakfast for us and even went out of her way to get us a lovely birthday cake 🎂

A lovely location that is quiet and away from all noise- but only a few miles from Coarsegold and Oakhurst

The location is so quiet. Danielle is a lovely host, and made us very welcome. The house is small as the photos show- but its well equipped and very clean. Really worth staying at.

Thankyou for a wonderful stay. Booking.com has aways been spot on!

Special basket of treats and homemade cookies! Packets of oatmeal too. Impeccably clean! Super comfortable bed. Bring a good book...no TV. Cold during our visit so we couldn't enjoy the beautiful deck.
