About

The Inn at Sugar Pine Ranch sits outside Groveland, with guests reporting about 30 minutes to Yosemite's park entrance and roughly an hour to the Valley floor — close enough for early starts, quiet enough to actually rest at night. The property pairs pine-paneled inn rooms with rustic clapboard cottages set back from the road, and repeat visitors keep coming back for exactly that: calm, privacy, and distance from the crowds.

Rooms and Cottages

Cottages range up to a deluxe tier, and guests describe firm mattresses, a good-sized fridge, and window-unit air conditioning quiet enough to sleep through. Rooms include a coffee maker, added — per returning guests — in direct response to earlier feedback. Free breakfast and an outdoor pool are included for all guests.

We loved the quiet retreat nestled in the mountain. The ranch felt welcoming and relaxing. The room we stayed in was cozy and had a new bathroom. The room was clean. Bottled water and coffee was provided. We liked that they had two options for pillows - flat and fluffy.

We had the most incredible stay at this mountainside cabin! From the very beginning, the owner, Raj went above and beyond, helping us navigate and secure the perfect accommodation after many hiccups from our booking. Raj’s hospitality and helpful guidance set the tone for a wonderful trip after a stressful start. The cabin itself is absolute perfection- remote, cute, and deeply charming. It offers the ideal balance of being tucked away in nature while still providing easy access to Yosemite National Park. After a long day of exploring and hiking, coming back to such a comfortable, cozy, and well-appointed space made for a memorable vacation. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway that feels like a hidden mountain sanctuary without sacrificing comfort, this is it. Thank you again to our wonderful host for making our stay so seamless and memorable. We hope to come back!

A Cozy and Welcoming Last- Minute Find! My wife and I were returning from a trip to Lake Tahoe and planned to stop at Yosemite National Park. Unfortunately, every hotel around the park was fully booked. Someone recommended The Inn at Sugar Pine in Groveland, and we're so glad they did! We called and booked everything over the phone (though it could have easily been done through their website). The hosts were friendly and accommodating, and the cottage itself was cozy, clean, and perfect for an unexpected overnight stay. It turned out to be a lovely surprise-quiet, comfortable, and exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. We truly appreciated finding such a welcoming place on short notice. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Yosemite or passing through the area!
