About this house rental
The most relaxing and amazing location to stay during your next trip to Yosemite is The Secret Meadows Retreat.
This A frame home is situated on it’s own fourteen acres of meadows and forest. It features one bedroom plus a loft bedroom, large living room with sofas and wood burning fireplace.
Frequented by deer and other wildlife this is an exclusive experience being offered as a rental for the first time, on a trial basis.
Driving through three gates and 300 yards down it’s private driveway will bring you to the home and the first meadow.
This is an old homestead site with just a handful of nearby cabins, all of which are far enough away to provide you with complete privacy (except for the deer, birds, and other wildlife). Adjacent to and surrounded by thousands of aces of Stanislaus National Forest which can accessed by trails and old logging roads from the Retreat.
Located just 400 yards from Hwy 120, approximate five miles west of the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite National Park, in the Hardin Flat area.
This is an incredible destination that may leave you content without even venturing into Yosemite Valley, even though the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite is just another ten minutes down the 120.
Nearby horseback riding, river rafting and guided tours can be arranged.
The home is cozy, with one private bedroom with queen bed and TV, a loft with one double pillow-top queen and one full (plus an amazing view over the meadow), a dining room, fully stocked kitchen and a large, fourteen x twenty four foot, family room with a big wood burning fireplace, 42” flat screen TV on Dish Network, a desk with computer, and couches which can easily sleep two more.
Includes all appliances, a washer-dryer, hot water (strong pressure), central heating (plus a pellet stove in the dining room and the wood burning fireplace in the living room).

Our family really enjoyed our stay in this rustic home. We were able to easily get back and forth to Yosemite. The grounds are beautiful and the home was comfortable and had everything we needed for our three day stay. We'd definitely come back again.

Great large cabin, very private but still close to the NP entrance. Nice trails with seating areas around the cabin. Washer and dryer (outside basement entrance) were awesome to have on a long trip. Make sure to get detailed directions and info on getting in the gates and the house ahead of time, because there is basically no cell service anywhere nearby. WiFi in the cabin worked well.

Dan was easy to communicate with, cabin was rustic and cozy. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful, as described in the listing. We would stay here again!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Location was excellent for access to Yosemite NP. Facilities were good, although, furniture was a bit uncomfortable. Listing indicated internet, however, not working and could not reach owner to resolve. Very limited cell service. We also ran out of drinking water. Shower hand sprayer was broken.Would stay there again due to location.
