It's an interesting place to stay. Very rustic. Not the cleanest hotel, but it still has a certain charm. This is a great place to stay with a group of friends because there is a lot of comfortable space to relax, but not much to do. I prefer to stay at hotels that pay more attention to detail, (for example,... More

We stayed here for four nights as we were going to Yosemite in March and wanted a place close to the South gate as it was the only one open. If you like History this place has a ton of it. We stayed in the main building in room 3 and our room opened up to the veranda and the... More

On arrival we were greeted by a friendly female member of staff and even though we arrived before check in time, we were given a tour around the property and given a run down of the history which we all found very interesting - particularly the different uses of the property over the years and that previous guests had included...

Excellent place for lodging near Mariposa Grove, just 30 min drive from south entrance to the park. Very nice surroundings, good restaurant, cosy interiors and - most importantly for larger groups - great lobby with a fireplace and a genuine grand piano!

We've been there for one night only. I wish I had a spare month of holid ays. Just to enjoy more. And more. Lovely, family atmosphere, cats and stuffed animals. Fireplaces. Charm, quiet, peace. Zen. The crew was excellent, especially Tajia (?). (I miss you:) The guys took a lot of care for us.

I stayed for one night with my son after we had been to Yosemite for a few days. It is handily placed for visiting Glacier Point and Mariposa Grove. The room was great and our bathroom a real luxury.

Thank you for your review. We are happy that our location and atmosphere appealed to you. We often have guests enjoying the fire in our main lounge well past midnight. The sofas were built out of rustic logs for Sierra Sky Ranch in the middle of last century. Our location is a key feature for us, but the fact that... More

We visited Sierra Sky Ranch after the whole day of travel from Berkeley, CA. It is a really charming place to stay and with a unique style. When the group of almost forty folks are arriving at once that may ruin the places' organization - not in the Sierra Sky Ranch. The lady who took care of us was fabulous... More

Thank you for your kind review. We host quite a few family reunions and weddings here at The Ranch, so large groups of travelers visiting the park are not difficult for us to accommodate.

We arrived in the beginning of November and stayed 3 nights in the Sierra Sky Ranch. Although we got lost finding it, apparently most GPS have a problem finding the hotel, we were welcomed warmly by the receptionist, who showed us around the historic hotel and told a bit about the history of the ranch. It has an amazing history!... More
