Groveland House | 6 Miles to Park Entrance! ~ 14 Acre Secluded Retreat ~ Wildlife Sanctuary

2 Bedroom House in Groveland

The most relaxing and amazing location to stay during your next trip to Yosemite is The Secret Meadows Retreat.
This A frame home is situated on it’s own fourteen acres of meadows and forest. It features one bedroom plus a loft bedroom, large living room with sofas and wood burning fireplace.
Frequented by deer and other wildlife this is an exclusive experience being offered as a rental for the first time, on a trial basis.
Driving through three gates and 300 yards down it’s private driveway will bring you to the home and the first meadow.
This is an old homestead site with just a handful of nearby cabins, all of which are far enough away to provide you with complete privacy (except for the deer, birds, and other wildlife). Adjacent to and surrounded by thousands of aces of Stanislaus National Forest which can accessed by trails and old logging roads from the Retreat.
Located just 400 yards from Hwy 120, approximate five miles west of the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite National Park, in the Hardin Flat area.
This is an incredible destination that may leave you content without even venturing into Yosemite Valley, even though the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite is just another ten minutes down the 120.
Nearby horseback riding, river rafting and guided tours can be arranged.
The home is cozy, with one private bedroom with queen bed and TV, a loft with one double pillow-top queen and one full (plus an amazing view over the meadow), a dining room, fully stocked kitchen and a large, fourteen x twenty four foot, family room with a big wood burning fireplace, 42” flat screen TV on Dish Network, a desk with computer, and couches which can easily sleep two more.
Includes all appliances, a washer-dryer, hot water (strong pressure), central heating (plus a pellet stove in the dining room and the wood burning fireplace in the living room).

Summary: It is a great cabin in a great location. It was comfortable and spacious. I didn’t mind the outdated decor. Cabin needs a few minor repairs: front door difficult to open, screen door broken, some odor in carpets. Otherwise, the rest was all in order. Communication ahead of the stay was lacking. I did not get any responses except automated ones from my messages via the VRBO app or any check in info until a few hours before the stay. It had me a bit concerned. But I believe it was likely an anomaly as others rated the communication well

Summary: This was a good spot to base out of when visiting the park. It was fairly close to the park. There is a gas station between the house and the park which is very handy. The owner was very helpful and attentive over email. We did not hang out at the cabin much. We did cook our breakfast and supper meals there. The kitchen and laundry facility’s worked well. It is a quiet spot so sleeping after a hard day of activity was not an issue. I recommend this place. Especially if you like privacy.

Summary: We had a lovely time in the house that accommodated our family of 4. Dan's communication was friendly and superb as we thought Yosemite would not be an option for visiting due to a road closure. He sent us a detailed email walking us through everything to do in the area that was not Yosemite valley; places to eat, hikes at Hetch Hetchy, etc. His knowledge of the area is vast and very helpful. There is a lovely meadow on the property and our only regret is we did not get a chance to explore the acreage on the property. The location is so close to the entrance. It made going into the valley super easy as we got lucky and the road opened.

Summary: This is such a lovely and comfy cabin! Big windows look out onto a wonderful meadow. Very quiet. Great location! Dan was terrific - responded quickly and helpfully. While it is not that long into Yosemite Valley, if you get tired of the drive, there are lots of other hikes closer, too. (We did both and loved it!) The bed downstairs (the only one we used) has a very comfortable mattress. Be sure to sit out on the deck for happy hour or your meals and breathe in the mountain air! We totally enjoyed our stay.

Summary: You're staying here for the location. While the listing includes wifi and laundry as amenities, there is a note stating that no streaming or excessive internet is allowed, and overage charges will be passed on to the guest. This made it tough for working remotely while visiting. The washing machine was not in working order. The kitchen is equipped and we had no trouble cooking, but the entire place could use a lot of updates. (Upstairs mattress, pots and pans with , general decor...) The family of deer that live in the area were fun to watch from the windows and the neighbors were friendly.
