Yosemite Rose Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Sonora

I visit Yosemite quite frequently and have stayed at the Yosemite Rose many times. The inn is charming, clean, cozy and comfortable. Hospitality and service are always friendly and personal. (I noticed a reviewer mentioned the porch is “fenced with gauze” — they must not be familiar with screened porches.) One of my favorite experiences at the inn is having breakfast on the screened porch, as the porch is surrounded by a garden with lots of lavender (so it smells amazing) and the sound of crickets is really charming. (In the winter time, they serve breakfast inside at the big dining table.) As is the case with all bed and breakfasts, the innkeepers set the menu each morning, but they ask for dietary restrictions at booking and check in — I’m vegetarian and they always accommodate this by serving me the days’ menu item minus meat — and it’s always delicious. All in all, it’s definitely a world away from my busy day-to-day in San Francisco and I LOVE staying there. One time I overheard another guest ask the innkeeper to book dinner reservations at the Country Club nearby, and they said they’d take care of it. (I didn’t know there was a Country Club nearby or that the owners would make reservations on behalf of guests, but I thought it was worth mentioning as it speaks to the level of service provided.) In the afternoons, they have self-serve deserts and tea in the dining room, which is a nice treat after a long day in the park. Daily turn down service, comfortable beds and I always sleep well because it’s dark and quiet. There’s a grassy area just outside of the dining room that’s great for looking at the stars. Keep in mind, distances at Yosemite are relative — things aren’t “close” in the way you might expect. The West Gate of Yosemite is about 15-20 minutes, and the turn off for Hetch Hetchy is even closer. The valley can be 40-ish minutes in the off season, or an hour during the summer. I tell everyone about the Yosemite Rose and my friends and family who have stayed here...

We loved and would recommend this place to visitors!||Atmosphere is very homely and quiet, one can sleep till morning without any noise!|There is a lounge area which has a piano, another room has a pool table and another a seating area if one wants to read plus a dinning area and a seating area at the balcony all with nets to prevent bugs getting in.||There is a walk around the place if you have time Katherine will brief you about it!|The rooms are spacious and we had ours named ‘Mary.’ Beds are very comfortable with special soft pillows, and extra bedcover!||Rooms are very private and plenty of charging sockets. The windows have nets to prevent any bugs getting in.|Value for money is worth it. ||You will have cooked breakfast with fresh fruits, juice, tea, and coffees. ||Or if you are leaving early you can have packed lunch! You need to inform the host a day before so she can prepare and plan.||Location is about 28-30 minutes away from the park and 7 to 10 minutes drive to Groveland town Centre, where you can fill your gas/petrol, have dinner etc…||What stood out for us is the whole team, they are kind, professional and really warm! Special thanks to Katherine, her husband and grand daughter! ||The granddaughter had her 21st birthday while we were there, and was kind enough to share her birthday champagne with us! Thank you very much! ||We highly recommend this place and if we happen to come back to Yosemite, we will definitely stay here!||Thank you all very much for having us, our stay was incredible and memorable because of you...

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...
