“Perfect Honeymoon”

Homestead Cottages

13 Apr 2008

This is the perfect place to stay for a honeymoon, or just to get away from it all. We stayed in the star gazing loft - the smallest cottage, but with all amenities and plenty enough room for a couple - and there were more than enough stars to gaze at in the evenings.

It's just a few minutes drive to shops and restaurants, yet you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by wild turkeys, deer, free range cattle and horses (all present on the many beautiful acres of land owned by the lovely owners Cindy and Larry).

It's about a 45 minute drive from Yosemite valley, which is fine, because it's beautiful all the way... and there are also many trails to walk closer to the homestead. Cindy and Larry were very welcoming and provide all the cottages with lots of information about where to go, what to do and how to get to places. When we asked about a laundrette they offered to do our laundry for us!

A far far nicer experience than staying at a hotel / motel.

This place is absolutely perfect! We were able to call one hour before arrival so they made sure that our cottage would be ready for us. Once we arrived, we were immediately greeted by Cindy (one of the owners). Such a sweet and wonderful person; she made you feel special and right at home. After a very quick check-in, she personally showed us to our cottage and briefly gave us the run down on the rooms and ammenities. The cottage was beautiful and was very complementary to the surrounding. Well stocked with all the necessaties needed for a comfortable stay. Bed was extremely comfortable and the continental breakfast provided was great! You will not be sorry if you stay there! We already are looking forward to visiting again!!!!!

“Great base to stay and visit the park”

Homestead Cottages

27 Nov 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

What an excellent spot.

You get your own little home from home.

It's near enough to drive to shops etc for food and to the park. It's secluded and peaceful.

Great access to the park.

The hosts are great people.

We moved here from where we started our trip in San Francisco and stayed a few nights. We left to drive over the park to Mono Lake - which was a fantastic drive.

Highly recommended.

“Great 1st Anniversary Stay”

1/1 found this review helpful

My husband & I stayed here for our 1st anniversary while visiting Yosemite. A bit of a drive to Yosemite, but we both loved the quiet private setting - perfect for our anniversary!! Lovely kitchen (fridge stocked with OJ, milk as well as fresh muffins & granola for breakfast) & very comfortable. Our only complaint were the flat, old pillows that hopefully they have replaced since our visit (had a bit of a neck crick in the mornings)! Highly recommended for those who want to get away from the crowds. My husband was skeptical about staying so far away from Yosemite, but now can't wait to go back and stay there again on our next trip out there!

“Wish we could have stayed longer!”

3/3 found this review helpful

If you are exiting the park via the southern entrance you must stay here!! I've always stayed at hotels, never any B&B's or cottages so I must admit I was a little nervous about this lodging (this was the third stop out of four lodgings during our trip) but I trusted everyone's reviews and boy were they right, this place was paradise. Upon arriving, Larry (one of the owners), greeted us and helped us pick a place to eat in the area (they have menus and recommendations of local restaurants set up in the front office). We were pleasantly surprised to find that we were upgraded to a cottage as another couple extended their stay. Larry gave us the grand tour of the cottage and I was impressed. I am very particular about cleanliness and this place was so clean and tastefully decorated! You truly felt at home with soft, colored towels and sheets (that may sound funny but after a week of looking at hotel white sheets and towels color made me feel like home!), large living room, and even a stocked kitchen! The breakfast was great, granola cereal, milk, juice, fruit, and muffins that rival Starbucks! I would go back in a heartbeat but this time I'd stay a little longer! See you in 5-10 years??!!
