Hi late review I know, but stayed at Penon Blanco Lookout in October 2012. We were the only couple staying there for the two nights we booked, and Margi and Wolfgang made us very welcome. Location is very much in the middle of nowhere and at night its VERY dark especially when you accidentally switch off your headlights whilst driving... More

It was Jan 6, and it has been raining since the night before. It’s cold, rain & wind, an unexciting day ̶ No, sunrise in the heavy clouds, shyly hides behind the orange glow. When the rain stops, flocks of bird are winging, chirping and searching for food. I spotted four different species of birds just within fifteen minutes. A... More

I just have to share our experience staying at the Penon Blanco Lookout last summer (July 2012). This is a lovely B&B with many antiques, lovely breakfasts, but a good distance from Yosemite. This is anything but a short drive to Yosemite. It was certainly not in anything close to a forested area, and the drive to the gate of... More

This was a lovely place in such a beautiful remote location. The room was spacious and well equipped. Margi was an exceptional host who prepared the best breakfasts ever. Although an hours drive into Yosemite the drive is nice.

I was looking for a quiet night at what could have been a delightful B&B. Unfortunately, I had to change My plans then cancel. I contacted their GM M. Tanner on Oct 18 asking them to cancel. I got no response. They never acknoledge it or anything. I waited 10 day and I had to cancel through the website that... More

Very comfortable & homely in a fantastic location which is rural and a little remote. Make sure you have Margi's directions and avoid arriving after dark if possible (our specific failures!). Its distance from Yosemite NP is not a problem despite being around 25-30 miles. Elegant & extensive breakfasts set you up for the day. Video library available if you... More

I scoured websites looking for accommodation within reach of Yosemite. Based on reviews I chose the Lookout B&B. Our two days at the Lookout were wonderful. Margi is a super host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome at her "Inn". The views were great, the breakfasts outstanding, the rooms welcoming and her advice on where... More

This place is very cute and quiet, and the breakfast was wonderful. However, when we got there the power was messed up. This meant no showers, which I'd really been looking forward to. I almost wouldn't mention it, but it seems like this wasn't a one time occurrence from the way she talked about it. Also not thrilled about the... More

We wanted to stay at a place near Yosemite that was quiet and peaceful. This was my first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast and I must say, from the moment we arrived we noticed the warmth and attention to detail. We were greeted by Margi who went out of her way to make us feel at home. The... More
