Located in Oakhurst, just 10 miles from Yosemite National Park, the completely non-smoking Sierra Sky Ranch was established as a cattle ranch and evolved into a guest ranch in 1946.

Offering free WiFi, each comfortably furnished room at Sierra Sky Ranch, an Ascend Hotel Collection Oakhurst features pine furnishings and a flat-screen cable TV. Room was great, we had a small terrace to with great outdoor views and sounds. Exactly what we weere looking for. Pool is a great addition and superb in case you are lazy zo go to the park or the lake. YOu have some games which are great for the kids (and adults) such as the corn hole; and you have great space to play cards or read. We used the breakfast space at nght to play cards. Location is great. 15 minutes from the lake; and 30/40 mins from the Yosemite Park entrance by car. 10mins from Oakhurst in case you need some supplies or restaurants at nice. Front desk staff are out of this planet. Super nice and helpful; with a smile and willingness to assist and help and that you have a good time.

Situated in Visalia, Buena Vista home features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a fitness centre, a garden and a shared lounge.

Some of the units have a satellite flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, and a shared bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. I really enjoyed staying at Rosie’s place and chatting with her. It truly felt like home rather than a hotel, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her place to anyone.
