Located in Oakhurst, just 10 miles from Yosemite National Park, the completely non-smoking Sierra Sky Ranch was established as a cattle ranch and evolved into a guest ranch in 1946.

Guests can relax in the hotel’s great room, which features beautiful fireplaces and comfortable seating. The fact that it actually a ranch gave this place a really charming character. Lots of nice areas to relax, really helpful staff and a good breakfast selection. Within easy driving distance of Yosemite, trail walks and Bass Lake. We were touring Northern California for 2 weeks and this hotel was a highlight.
