Yosemite Rose Bed and Breakfast - Groveland, California

Giulia

Amazing location.
The house itself is really nice and surrounded by nature. It’s super quiet and even though it’s not inside Yosemite NP, it still feels very peaceful (we’ve also seen lots of wildlife around the area).
The house was cleaned and the owner was friendly and welcoming.

I feel that for what we paid (almost $700 for two nights) there’s some Space for improvements.

My suggestions would be to renovate the mattress/ bathrooms, while preserving of course the authenticity and personality of the house. The bed was quite squeaky and not super comfortable.
It would also be nice to find one or two vegan options.

Whilst we adapted to a vegetarian one (which was really good), and we both had eggs, it would be appreciated to find anything vegan (whether it’s a pie or cake/ a cookie or peanut and jam or anything savoury).

Other than this, we
Had a lovely stay and the whole staff was lovely and helpful. Would surely come back

Close to Yosemite National Park, this B&B was a great place to stay! Kathryn and Donald are great hosts! Our room the Eduardo was comfortable and clean, the private bathroom was awesome.
Kathryn left us homemade cookies and Tea/Coffee each day, and the Breakfast was terrific (fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, fried potatoes, and sausage). She had bagged breakfast the day we left for the Park early((6am) with a ham and cheese sandwich, apple, yogurt and an energy bar). There was lots of space we could use and a pool table too! I enjoyed my stay!

My sister and I stayed at Yosemite Rose in late April 2023. We only stayed 1 night but we thoroughly enjoyed it! It's a beautiful inn on a beautiful, expansive property in the foothills. Groveland is only minutes away where there are restaurants and stores. The hosts were so gracious and showed us all around the place. We met the animals (chickens, goats, horses, a young Angus steer, dogs & cats). We stayed in the Cynthia room. It was comfy and we had a sunset view out our window. If I stayed again I'd probably choose the downstairs room because it's larger with a bigger bathroom. And stairs are getting harder for me to navigate. Breakfast was amazing! So delicious with coffee and fresh squeezed OJ, on the screened in patio in the sunshine. So lovely. We highly recommend the Yosemite Rose for anyone traveling to the area.

What a great B&B located close to the west entrance of Yosemite. It's off the beaten path a bit, and you have to drive a few miles to Groveland for restaurants, but that's no problem. Breakfast is served at 8 am, and they have a To Go option if you want to get an earlier start. I recommend that option on weekends because the line to get into the park was soooo very long at 9 am. The staff (mostly family run) is amazing, welcoming, and informative about the park and surrounding area. The rooms were comfortable and the rates were more than reasonably priced compared to similarly located hotels.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We came for a family trip to Yosemite. This is a little bit away from the park entrance, but definitely worth it. The hosts were so friendly and willing to offer suggestions of places to go in and out of the park. The breakfasts prepared by Rebecca were something we looked forward to because they were so delicious and are personalized with garnish from their gardens. We enjoyed breakfast on the screened in veranda which offered the nicety of being outside while sheltered from the heat and bugs. The tables also had flowers from their garden. We were asked immediately upon check in if we had any dietary restrictions and when another couple said that they were vegetarian, TJ offered to an acceptable alternative. The room we stayed in was charming and comfortable. Our room (Cynthia) was in the front of the house and had a stunning sunset view. The bed was comfortable. They also offered dessert and tea or brandy in the evening. The rooms on the first floor contained a lot of history. The manor is surrounded by 200 acres of land, on which there is a horse pasture and beautiful flowers. At night, the sky is lit up with stars. We had a fun, comfortable stay and even got to know the hosts within the three nights we stayed! We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed an excellent stay at Yosemite Rose, near enough to Yosemite. The establishment was very clean and well organised, and a lovely period property; complete with memorabilia. The breakfasts were delicious. and the provision of a nightcap was a nice touch.|Strongly recommended; we would love to stay there again.

The landlady is very friendly. The house is large, old but tidy. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is very poor. Probably the cheapest breakfast we had in a B&B on our US trip. We didn't feel comfortable at breakfast because the server had dirty clothes on.
