Stay a While.

Welcome to the Mountains

Check into your room, unpack and take a deep breath of fresh mountain air. Wander onto the deck, soak in the foothill views and let vacation begin before you have “done” anything at all.

Head into Oakhurst for dinner or settle in after your travels. Depending on the evening and what is happening around the house, you may find yourself joining us on the deck for a thoughtfully prepared cocktail or glass of wine as the sun goes down.

The goal: begin slowing down the moment you arrive.

Yosemite’s Greatest Hits

Wake up to freshly brewed coffee and homemade breakfast, then head toward the park’s most celebrated scenery.

• Yosemite Valley
• Tunnel View
• Glacier Point
• Yosemite Falls
• El Capitan
• Bridalveil Fall
• Mariposa Grove

Take your time. Sit beside the Merced River. Pack a picnic and stay with the view. Yosemite is not a race—and Mountain Daddies will be waiting when you return to relax, recharge and share the day’s stories.

Yosemite’s Hidden Gems

After another leisurely breakfast, venture beyond the park’s most famous viewpoints and discover quieter corners with breathtaking scenery.

• Tuolumne Meadows
• Hetch Hetchy Reservoir
• Tenaya Lake
• Olmsted Point
• Sentinel Dome
• Chilnualna Falls
• Merced Grove

Many of our favorite Yosemite memories have come from slowing down and exploring the less obvious places. By now, it becomes clear why the park deserves more than one day.

Bass Lake, Unhurried

Today’s adventure is about relaxation. After breakfast, make the short trip to one of our favorite places in the Sierra Nevada.

• Paddleboarding
• Kayaking
• Boating
• Swimming
• Lakeside dining
• Sunset over the water

Bass Lake is the perfect contrast to Yosemite’s grandeur: peaceful, nostalgic and wonderfully unhurried. Sometimes the best vacation memories are the ones where you simply enjoy where you are.
