First off the property itself is beautiful. It’s on a ranch with horses, chickens, donkeys etc. The hosts are great people, we got a chance to chat with Stephen before we headed out. The best part of this ranch is the drive IN TO YOSEMITE! This is the unique part about the property. It is about and hour and a half from the main entrance of Yosemite and an hour or so to the meadows entrance. The drive in is stunning! There are mountains, valleys, flowing rivers and lots of places to pull over to just take in the views. Highly recommend doing this, the drive does NOT feel like a normal 1.5 hour drive, it’s scenic and it’s just as beautiful in the morning as it is in the evening for the sunset. You drive through a nice little town called Mariposa on the way in and out. We stopped and got coffees near there in the morning and would grab dinner on the way back home. The outside shower and back deck are great additions to the ranch, you can also walk around the property and enjoy the ranch during your stay. I don’t have a bad thing to say about this place and would absolutely stay again.
