The Cabin At The Old Homestead Near Yosemite

Our rustic cabin is located on a large, private cattle ranch and captures the Western spirit and style of the Gold Country. Although the cabin feels remote, it is closely situated to Groveland (less than 5 miles) and Yosemite National Park (first gate less than 30 miles). One can hike and explore the ranch for miles in all directions. The flora and fauna are beautiful! It is a charming, picturesque, romantic, and tranquil space for couples and solo travelers to unwind from life's daily stresses and great outdoor adventures.

The cabin was once a hunting and mining cabin and was relocated next to an old sluiceway utilized for gold mining. The small cabin measures about 330 sq. ft. and includes a new bathroom and well-supplied kitchen (i.e., kitchenware). It has a spacious wrap-around front porch and side deck. A rustic, Western-style outdoor kitchen for barbecues is located behind the cabin with a bar area. Situated on the deck are chairs and a table with umbrella for outdoor dining, as well as a Weber gas grill.

You can explore any place on the ranch. The ridge visible to the right of the cabin when looking at the front porch, is a special place to view spectacular sunsets over the Central Valley. Take the camping chairs and enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail while watching the sun go down.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a kitchen island.

We travel often and we came to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We went to Yosemite park and then back to the property in the evenings. We had originally had plans to go to a fine dining restaurant and we loved the property so much that we stayed and enjoyed dinner outside and watched the sunset both nights. It was incredible. The bed was very comfortable, the horses were so excited to see us each day. The entire experience was the best and we will be back ! The only suggestion I have would be a map of the property so we know where we can explore that isn’t intruding on any other property.

Just perfect

We loved the whole weekend! If you like to get away out in the country, this is the place. The cabin is small, but who cares? Inside has everything imaginable to make your stay complete. If you want to explore Groveland and the surrounding area, it's not far. Hetch Hetchy was one destination up the road, and, wow, it's beautiful too. Oh, and the folks at the ranch were wonderful!

Peaceful getaway

We came to celebrate a birthday and see Yosemite for the first time. We stayed two nights and this remote cabin will fool you. It looks so rustic on the outside but the inside was beautifully decorated and the bed was SO comfy! The outbuildings were fun to see and the horses were a special bonus. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked all of our meals there. Yosemite is a 40ish minute drive and was well worth it! Highly recommend and we’ll stay here again.😊

Launch point for Yosemite

Had a very nice stay at the Homestead. It was an extremely hot week and the AC had trouble keeping up when we first checked in but otherwise the cabin was great and very quiet among our bovine neighbors. We spend 3 days hiking in different parts of Yosemite which was an hour or two away. Natalie was a fantastic host and very responsive to any questions we had. Would highly recommend.

The cabin is fabulous. We used it as a base of operations to explore Hetch Hetchy. It was perfect. Some driving. But worth it to not be in the Evergreen Lodge etc etc etc. The cabin is tiny but - for us - it lacked nothing. The kitchen is very well thought out. We made three dinners and wanted for nothing. There is every type of coffee maker available. The property is massive and fun to explore. We hope we return soon.

Farm living

If you love an adventure, this is for you! So many interesting things to see. The cabin is rustic farm house. Kitchen is well equipped. We traveled back and forth to Yosemite with ease. Groveland is a cute little town to visit. We went to Sonora as well. Nice shopping there. We had a fantastic time at the cabin. We loved feeding the horses apples and carrots with permission from the host. It was our daily routine. Our weather wasn’t great so we didn’t get to enjoy a lot of outdoor activities at the ranch. Our last day the power was out due to the storm, so it was cold. My only suggestion, would be a generator for those times when there isn’t power.

Wild West Adventure

Trip to celebrate our 43rd Anniversary. Not easy to find using Google maps. Upon arrival the air conditioner was not working & after a 16+ hr. Drive we were pretty frustrated. Called owners & didn't get an answer. She later returned our called but with no solution. Sleepless 1st night in sweltering heat. Thanks to Bob the farmhand who helped us put in a different air conditioner the next day,we got the cabin cooled down & began to enjoy our stay. We loved feeding the horses & mules. Driving up on the mountaintop for evening sunsets. All the necessities that were provided for our stay, except for one thing that was missing, (A regular coffeemaker). Other than those little bumps in the road we enjoyed a good night's rest after our 3 days of hiking in Yosemite. Groveland has some nice shops & restaurants as well. The owner has been kind enough to compensate us for the 1 sleepless night we spent without air which was nice. Would we stay there again, YOU BET WE WOULD.

Beautiful location

I loved the location and the area. Beautiful place to stay. About 40 minute drive to Yosemite North Entrance and 1 hour and 30 minutes to Yosemite village. The drive dose not seem to long as the views are amazing. Groveland is nice little town close to the cabin where you can go to some local restaurants or go grocery shopping.

My wife and I chose this cabin as a base to visit Yosemite. Big mistake! The cabin and the ranch are so wonderful that it was hard to convince ourselves to get out and get going. The place is immaculately clean, it's small, but just the right size for two people, impressively well stocked and designed with great attention to smallest details. Not only decor, even the books seem to be carefully selected and I enjoyed browsing Ansel Adam's album and read about Hetch Hetchy history. We felt recharged after two nights here as if we came back from a week long vacation. I do hope we'll be able to come back and enjoy the cabin soon!

A Magical Oasis

What an amazing experience this was for us! Being in the middle of a legit cattle ranch provided the much-needed break from the daily grind that we were seeking. We were definitely grateful for the full immersion into nature that we were able to experience at the Homestead while simultaneously being pampered with every high-end creature-comfort one could desire from a shelter. The stars at night were breathtaking after the beautiful sunsets, and the well-appointed kitchen was utterly delightful to putter around in the morning after a luxurious night's sleep on the incredibly comfortable king bed. We will definitely be back again and again. I can not recommend this experience highly enough.

Breathtaking

The HOMESTEAD was by far, the BEST property we ever rented ( and we have done quite a few over the last few years)... it felt like a chance to experience days gone by --you could just "see" cow hands and all the activities on a working ranch. We indeed are blessed in this life! The cabin was rustic feel, yet had ALL of the amenities you could ever want. Just sitting and watching the wildlife from the porch was AMAZING, and so relaxing after a day hiking Yosemite. We slept better there than we can remember. So many thanks for memories we will cherish!

Perfect place to unwind

Of all the places we have stayed, this cabin is at the top of our list! This property exceeded our expectations in so many ways. The bed was comfortable and as others have mentioned the cabin is very well stocked. We enjoyed a few steaks cooked over fire in the outdoor kitchen along with cocktails on the deck. The sunset from the ridge was incredible. We came for Yosemite but found ourselves spending a whole day at the ranch doing "nothing". Thanks Natalie for sharing this wonderful place with us!
