Red Tail ranch is very special and will appeal to those seeking splendid isolation among gorgeous hilly meadows but with creature comforts. Great gateway location for Yosemite and the beautiful surrounds. Bed was very comfy, very well appointed and equipped room.

Karl Ecuador

Adi Israel

Lovely setting, convenient to Yosemite. Excellent facilities and breakfasts.

Cheryl United States of America

A beautiful location about twenty miles from the entrance to Yosemite. Our hostess was both friendly and helpful. She provided truly gourmet breakfasts and made a variety of amenities available for our use including a barbecue and hot tub.

David United States of America

The Red Tail Ranch is conveniently located to Yosemite National Park. Groveland has several dining and gas options available. Breakfasts were homemade and deliciously gourmet. Our room and our adjoining bathroom had all the amenities we needed. The Ranch has several outdoor seating areas available for relaxing at the end of the day. The California acorn woodpeckers and humming birds were fascinating to watch. We appreciated a friendly hello from Barkley. Deborah and Kevin are very familiar with Yosemite and provided very helpful tips about what to see, where to go, and how to participate in the activities the Park has to offer. We understand why Deborah and Kevin have received numerous awards for their Red Tail Ranch B&B and we enthusiastically agree.

Red tail is situated in a peaceful meadow that surrounds you with beautiful nature while offering wonderful amenities, great company and the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! Deborah was amazing as she spent time with my wife and I by sharing her experiences with Yosemite as well as useful maps and tips! It added to our wonderful experience!!

  • Hi I stayed here in 2020, it seems like you are booked up for the weekend Feb 18th - 21 but just wanted to double check. Thanks Shane Corban
    Hello Shane - Sorry for the delay in responding to your inquire. Unfortunately, we are closed until March 1st.

  • Do you allow pets?
    Hello, We do allow dogs. They must remain on a leash on the property. And there is an old friendly ranch dog on the property who usually lays down near the house, he will greet you, so the dog must be friendly with other dogs.
    Answered on June 17, 2022
  • I see that you have one room available the week of July 27th. Do you know if we could get day passes into the park or is it too late? We are looking for a place to stay for 4 nights with hiking and mountain scenery. We live in LA.
    You may wait 48 hours prior to your date to try and get a reservation through Recreation.gov, or you can take YARTS, or book a tour with an outfitter.

Located just 20 minutes from the entrance to Yosemite, this adult only lodging is located on a private 50-acre ranch. A fully equipped 3-bedroom, 2 bathroom house and 2 additional guest rooms with private bathrooms and independent entrances are available on their own or all together. Hot tubs, an outside kitchen and sitting areas are available for all guests. All rooms offer a light breakfast, soft bathrobes, free wifi, and full access to hiking and biking trails on and off the property.
Robb, Regina and their son Noah are the owners of the property. They purchased the space with hopes to protect and restore the meadow ecosystem while sharing its beauty with the world. Ashley shares their love and dedication to this land and works closely with them to protect and manage the property. Together the three of them strive to spend most of their time outdoors in and around Yosemite National Park which makes the small foothill community of Groveland a perfect place to live.
The town of Groveland is a gateway community to Yosemite National Park. Travelers from all over the world come to visit Yosemite. Groveland is a small quaint gold rush town, with nice restaurants and close to many outdoor activities. Red Tail Ranch is 7 miles from the town of Groveland and 20 miles from the park entrance.
