Private 50-acre ranch retreat 20 minutes from Yosemite National Park entry
Amenities
Red Tail Ranch offers a shared outdoor kitchen with a BBQ, stove, sink, and cooking and dining essentials. A hot tub is available for relaxation after a day of adventure. All guests receive soft bathrobes and free WiFi, plus coffee and tea provided in each room.
Rooms
Accommodations include a 3-bedroom Meadow House with three queen beds, two full bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a fireplace. Two separate cottages - the Ranch Bungalow and Sierra Cottage - offer private patios, propane fireplaces, and private hot tubs. Guest reviews highlight comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms.
Location
The property sits on a private 50-acre ranch with meadow views, just 20 minutes from Yosemite National Park's Big Oak Flat Entrance. Historic Iron Door Saloon, the oldest continuously operating saloon in California, is a short drive away in Groveland. Columbia State Park is 30 miles from the ranch.
Pet-Friendly
Pets are allowed on the property, making it suitable for guests traveling with dogs or cats. The meadow trails provide space for walks without leaving the ranch. There is no separate pet fee mentioned, but guests should confirm details with management.
Outdoor Activities
Hiking and mountain biking trails are accessible directly from the property via meadow trails. The altitude and lack of light pollution create conditions for stargazing; guests have reported seeing shooting stars and constellations. An outdoor fireplace and sun terrace add to the outdoor living space.
