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).

I give this property an excellent based on its close proximity to Yosemite. It's a cute cabin with plenty of room. It's located on a beautiful piece of property which feels very remote and secluded. We had a problem with receiving any checkin info from VRBO. It took some time to get a hold of Dan but once he did respond, he was extremely helpful and emailed all the checkin information. The phone reception is very spotty so make sure you have all the info before you get there. The power went out on our last day which was an inconvenience. The furnishings were a little outdated but we didn't mind that. Overall, a good experience with a few glitches.

This location is great for exploring Yosemite. There is a gas station between the cabin and Yosemite Park Entrance - great for topping off after a day in Yosemite. There is also a good restaurant (Lucky Buck's) nearby that also sold the best souvenir t-shirts. It is very isolated on 14 acres, however, we felt incredibly safe with 2 locked gates. We loved the privacy and it wasn't far from a grocer. Having a laundry and air-conditioning were other amenities that we greatly appreciated.

Great cabin within minutes of the Yosemite west entrance. It is comfortable and the host is communicative. It’s quiet and peaceful. We definitely recommend this cabin!

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.
