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.

Absolutely beautiful.

The cabin has everything you could imagine and is located in a beautiful area. The classic western feel made us feel like we were right at home. All of the amenities, combined with the beautiful location and comfortable cabin make this a 5 star cabin hands down.

This place is just what you need

I love this spot! It is so peaceful and with such amazing views. It was all the was promised and more. You are still close to everything you need, but definitely isolated from any neighbors. 5 Stars isn't enough.

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.😊

Well appointed and comfortable

We loved staying on the homestead, and wished we had more time to enjoy the property! We stayed here for two nights - exploring Yosemite during the day. Driving into the property is an adventure in itself, and it is a wonderful feeling arriving back to the cabin after a long day - to enjoy a sunset, sit outside, and pet the horses! The cabin is full of fantastic touches that make it feel like a much larger space - it is extremely well appointed and comfortable. Would love to come back.

John Wayne X Martha Stewart Collaboration

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.

The perfect place to reconnect

My wife and I booked this property for a quick Valentines getaway and hoping for a chance to reconnect. We ran into a small hiccup in the check-in process which Natalie addressed ASAP. Once checked in our expectations were exceeded in every way. The property is incredible and the sunsets were among the best we've seen (including Santorini!). Every detail in the cabin is tended too right down to the informational signs made to look like state parks signs. It was great and therapeutic to interact with the animals on the property. In the days leading up to our stay Natalie was prompt in her replies. We look forward to visiting again in the near future.

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.

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.

The cabin was charming and well-appointed. Every need was anticipated in the kitchen. It is a perfect getaway to nature and still be quite comfortable. The only negative is that the air conditioning was having difficulty keeping up with the 95 degree heat.

serene and comfortable

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!
