Okay, so we stayed at this hotel for 4 days on a vacation to Yosemite. The rooms were cozy and had a cool cabin theme. There was a big fireplace and 3 large beds. We went in a group of 5, and we weren't squeezed together. The only problem I could really find was the freezing cold showers. Anyway, the complementary breakfast was great, and they had a nice selection. The location was even better though, with Lewis Creek trailhead being a few miles away. And you can't forget Yosemite. 4 stars total, and I recommend this place to anyone who plans on going to Yosemite.Rooms: Big rooms with fireplace.Food & drinks: All you can eat buffet.

Loved it! Appreciate people with a common sense. A lovely lady from reception who store our milk in staff’s fridge as there was no fridge in our room. And it would be a problem, because my little one takes milk every morning and night. And a best wishes to restaurant lady Eva, so kind and generous, your smile makes the difference for people who comes to get a good memories.

The rooms are so tiny that my husband and I couldn't be in the bedroom together unless we were both on the bed. The pool was dirty, and cold. The location was fantastic because it was pretty close to the South entrance to Yosemite. The staff was very friendly. If you want a little bigger room I recommend the Jr. Suit. It is all by itself in the basement and it is adequately sized for a short stay. We could not unpack because the rooms were so small, and we were there for a few days, tripping over your luggage gets pretty old pretty fast.Food & drinks: Very little available on-site, but there were many different variety of restaurants that delivered to the ranch.

A charming historic hotel in Oakhurst, in good proximity to Yosemite's southern entrance. Extremely friendly staff and very clean room and grounds. Exquisite landscaping and peaceful setting. Plenty of free parking. Breakfast was simple, no hot options but enough to get you started. Bed was comfortable. Unfortunately I will never return to this hotel because it has zero insulation anywhere. I understand that's a risk you take staying in an old building and that they weren't built like that. Doors, walls, windows, you hear everything everywhere. Every conversation, every footfall. Also the smallest shower stall I've ever seen with very weak pressure. Shared balcony was a problem when my neighbors checked in at 8pm, yes I heard the entire conversation with staff showing them the room, and then they decided to have a dinner party right next to my windows and balcony doors. I gave them until 10 and after I called the front desk, they quieted down but the lack of privacy and any kind of sound insulation is a major downside of this otherwise charming and historic building.

I preface this by saying this place is not my usual speed but it was the closest in proximity to a Yosemite wedding I attended. That said, I give it credit given what it is. Their customer service is super friendly and people greet you with a genuine smile from front desk to cleaning staff. The accommodations are rustic down to the wooden floors and porches across the entire building, and while there aren't a bunch of frills, the property itself is nice. You do get a pool and at night all the string lights really give you the wilderness/ranch feel that they intended. Do be aware that if you're a light sleeper you will hear movement all over starting early in the morning because of the floors and how sound travels with folks waking up to get out in nature.

Sierra sky ranch is absolutely the best! The people who work there are amazing they helped us every step of our trip. It was my husband's birthday so they let us bring a cake and kept it in the fridge for us. They help us find tours for Yosemite and told us great restaurants to go to. Also the balcony next to your room is so great beautiful view. The pool is shaded too so it's so nice in the summer. They really took care of us completely. Oh an the stars at night ? are just the best I've ever seen in my life.Rooms: The rooms were a little small but everything was super cozy and everything else made up for that.Nearby activities: They have gold panningSwimmingFishingRock climbingHikingHorseback riding

Great quiet hotel near Oakhurst. The rooms are very comfortable, homey, nice bed, snug - a little small but worked fine. They have a door that directly exits to the shared patio which was really nice in the evening, we sat out there playing cards and having a bottle of wine (we bought it at the grocery store in town, the hotel sells some bottles but they are limited and pricey). The patio has a small table and 2 chairs for most of the rooms, the view (from a front room) was rolling grasslands and a relatively quiet rural highway. Short easy drive to the city if you want to eat out or shop. I noticed the rooms on the backside also had a patio but they did not have the same consistent small table and chairs, I saw a room with just a bench, another with a large table but no chairs.

A beautiful historical place to visit. Very comfortable beds and nice clean rooms, only thing missing is a safe in the bedroom. The hotel is a lovely building dating from the 19th century. Breakfast is continental style with fruit juices and coffee on offer. Unfortunately during our stay the dining room was closed for evening meals but there are plenty of eating places down the road in Oakhurst.

One of a kind mountain lodge experience. The staff, the rooms everything was top-notch, really felt like I was at home and at peace. The lobby area is very unique and authentic and has rustic antique vibes, where guests can sit together and enjoy. We were able to sit in our balcony and do star gazing in the night, it was absolutely beautiful.The only reason I took off a star is for the breakfast, it’s extremely limited.

Beginning of February is the perfect time to come here! We truly enjoyed our stay. Everything was serene and quiet. The king bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the rooms that have a small porch out front. The breakfast option was nice but truly continental with packaged oatmeal, packaged hard boiled eggs, some cereal and cottage cheese or yogurt. Definitely a nice snack but if you are looking for dietary purposes, I would recommend bringing your own breakfast replacement and just grabbing a thing or two. Gabe at the front desk checked us in and was very kind as it was late. It would be great to have at least a chair in the room to sit and tie your shoes, but it truly is for sleeping only. One other thing that would be nice in the winter is a hot tub, but from an operational standpoint, it is high maintenance. They have seating areas with chess set and piano. Would be nice to bring some cards or games if you’re with a crowd or family. Would definitely stay here again!

Loved the ranch / cottage vibes! We stayed for a few nights and thought the place was very clean with modern bathrooms, food was great, breakfast was simple but good, and I loved that they have board games and areas where you can sit and hang out with friends. They also have a coffee / tea station that you can access anytime. Staff was nice and friendly. Overall would definitely recommend!Some small things to improve are: offering a mini fridge in rooms (we had to use our ice bucket as fridges for some of the food we brought), the heating vent was right above our bed so didn’t love the air blowing into my face while sleeping.

The location is great is you want to stay outside the Yosemite Valley. Honestly, it's worth a day or three on it's own as there's some beautiful scenery nearby for a walk or hike. We were visiting just before Thanksgiving (I know...delayed review), and it turned out to be the perfect time to visit. A little less crowded in the park, and just enough snow here n there to make it beautiful and not freezing :)The Sierra Sky Ranch was phenomenal, one of the best overnight stays I've had in a while. If you like a cozy, quiet, comfortable cabin vibe then this is the stop for you! The staff was amazing, including (but not limited to): the front desk (Dianna offered us some tasty warm tea at check-in, along with some trail recommendations and other useful pamphlets), the bartender (Amanda, who was very friendly and made us some delicious, well-crafted cocktails), the restaurant staff (both morning and night), and a manager & event manager/coordinator we met at the restaurant (Sean & Kristin - had a great time chatting with them, learning about this location along with their other property up the mountain -- definitely check that out if you're looking for a beautiful venue for your wedding). Oh, the room was clean, cozy, and comfortable. Our only regret is we didn't stay here longer!

This place was homely and well-maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. This place had a fireplace with games and 2 separate larger rooms for families to huddle which was really nice. The rooms were clean, double-sanitized, and had all the amenities. We were comfortable and every room comes with a patio which is a nice touch. This place also has an attached tavern where they served complimentary breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place for travelers going to Yosemite or when around Oakhurst CA

4.5 stars rounded up. So I had to stay in Oakhurst for work and found this spot! Located about an hour from Yosemite Village in Oakhurst, Sierra Sky Ranch is a historic hotel a few minutes drive from the main area of town. I stayed in the main building in Room 33, highly recommend this room! It came with an artificial fireplace that gave off heat and although this room did not come with a patio, since I was staying here in December, I did not want to go out in the cold anyway. There is a common area that has couches and plenty of board games, it is right around the corner from Room 33, so it's a convenient spot to have a bite to eat or sit and write Yelp reviews ha ha. The lobby area has a microwave, tea/coffee and hot water. There wasn't a fridge or coffee maker in the room however. Loved the breakfast! It was served in the adjoining restaurant and was a buffet style with scrambled eggs, potatoes, fruit. The breakfast varied from day to day, one morning we had housemade granola with Greek yogurt, another day was a vegetable scramble with a housemade salsa. There is a pool that is open during the warmer months and apparently the hotel is haunted, although I didn't encounter anything odd during my three-night stay. Would highly recommend this place!

Great location, only 30 mins to the entrance of Yosemite and about an hour drive to the valley. The staff are all kind and helpful. The hotel has a a beautiful rustic aesthetic and the beds are comfortable. The free breakfast went beyond my expectations (cowboy potatoes and spinach scrambled eggs), and was super delicious. There is a restaurant on the property and only about 15 mins away from Oakhurst for more options.
