18 of us from all over the US gathered at Sierra Sky Ranch for a Cousin Reunion. We were there for 5 nights and just loved the place. The staff was more than helpful and went out of their way to help in any way. Many thanks to owner Ted, manager Joey and Chef Frank to make this one of... More

I wanted a hotel outside of Oakhurst to try and cut down on the drive time to Yosemite. The hotel was easy to find off the Hwy 41. The place was an old TB hospital and WW2 rehab facility back in the day. The grounds were well kept and the outside appearance was good. It has an onsite restaurant which... More

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

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.

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.

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.
