Great place to stay. The ranch is very unique and the animals provide good company. The cabin itself is well appointed and has everything a person would need. We had a great time and was the most memorable part of our trip to CA.

Amazing location! Perfect destination if you want to relax and enjoy some quiet time. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

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.

This was such a fun place to stay! The house was incredibly clean and posh with ALL high end amenities. Very hard to leave! Thanks for a great week!

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!

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.

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!

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!

This place was so thoughtfully prepared for us! Loved it all...will visit again!

Natalie’s place was absolutely the perfect getaway stay for our trip to see Yosemite. We loved the amenities the cottage had and how clean it was. The solitude of this property was so welcomed after days of hiking at the park. We loved exploring the grounds and petting the horses. We can not recommend this place more for anyone staying near Groveland. Thank you so much Natalie for having such a great place which made for a very relaxing and enjoyable trip. Tom and Sara

This little cabin is an absolute gem. Great interior design and details. The kitchen is really well equipped, and the whole cabin is immaculately clean. The setting on the ranch is gorgeous. If this sounds like a lot of superlatives it's because this little cabin is so superb.

The guest book basically said it all - leather-bound in a custom made covering, the words from basically everyone complimented how much thought has gone into this place. I couldn't agree more. The cabin is charming, the bed is comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked, the bathroom has everything you need. We enjoyed being close to nature and away from other people, as well as the chance to just relax for a few days. I would recommend this to any couple looking for a nice get away, and the proximity to Yosemite was just an added bonus. Thanks Natalie!

We decided on Saturday to spring on an opportunity to take a last-minute trip on Sunday and Natalie was more than accommodating to book us into this little ranch cabin. Natalie was responsive and in less than 24 hours, we were at the cabin.The cabin is situated on a 5,000 acre working cattle ranch (approx. 150 cows and several horses). We enjoyed listening to the cows' moos and their cowbells throughout the day. Also got to pet some horses just a few steps from the cabin and we really enjoyed sunset views from cocktail ridge.The cabin was well-appointed for its size. The kitchen is very well-stocked, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and comfortable. I gave cleanliness 4/5 though as the cabin was a little dusty but I guess that is to be expected considering the location. We also enjoyed the outdoor deck and BBQ for meals and for WFH.

This place is excellent. When it says explore the ranch, I think it undermines the vast expanse of things to do on the ranch. This is a place to stay and relax, explore! I saw lots of people stayed here for Yosemite. I would strongly encourage time at location!

Our stay at the cabin was pure joy. The property managers are incredibly thoughtful and the attention to detail is superb. Everything we could ever want and way more was there waiting for us, which made us feel cared for and special. What were these details? An amazing coffee bar with all the appliances and delicious coffees you could want. All sorts of cooking appliances- a kitchen aid mixer, a waffle iron. I didn't even know I needed waffles on this getaway weekend until we saw that waffle iron. Beautiful candles. Different sets of dishes for outdoor dining vs. indoor. The mix of luxury and rustic details was unparalleled. Thank you Natalie and John!!The ambiance itself is so relaxing and refreshing and restoring to the soul. We needed a covid getaway to escape from the world and driving to the ranch and up to the cabin provided exactly that. It felt like entering into another, simpler and at the same time more decadent world. We had planned to visit Yosemite, but it was closed the weekend we were there because of earlierweather conditions. We didn't even miss it! We ended up hiking the property, and petting the horses, and sitting out on the deck talking and relaxing. Stay here!!! We cannot wait to go back for our next trip. Counting down the days.....

Can't wait to return to this magical little cabin. Such great attention to detail went in to everything. Wouldn't change a thing. The bed is sooooo big and comfy and the beverage station is next level.

This place is a hidden gem off the beaten path of Highway 120. You are in a private, secluded, cabin in the woods. Surrounded by grazing cattle and horses. The cabin has awesome amenities and is such a nice retreat away from city life. The host is great and very responsive. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Great property! Unfortunately due to the fires, our stay was cut short but it was a very special ranch, and hope to return soon!

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.

This place is amazing! You live like during the gold rush but with all modern amenities! We had such a great time roaming around the area, and just sitting on the patio enjoying the scenery!

Gorgeous cabin near Groveland. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us.

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.

Quiet location. Cabin has everything you need and more. Very nicely decorated with all the amenities you could want and has a rustic feel. Highly recommend!

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.

Cozy cabin with breathtaking views. We Will miss the nightly sunsets and star filled sky's. Can't wait for our next visit.
