Yosemite Rose Bed and Breakfast

Yosemite Rose Bed and Breakfast is a Victorian-style property in Groveland, built around a wraparound veranda, a small pond, and horse stables — a quieter, more residential alternative to the area's larger resorts. It holds a 4.9 rating across 73 reviews, with guests consistently pointing to the hosts and the breakfast as the highlights of a stay.

Rooms and Breakfast

Guest rooms are individually themed rather than standardized — reviewers mention staying in rooms named Eduardo and Mary, plus a separate cottage on the property. Breakfast is cooked to order and served on the covered verandah, with guests describing spreads of fresh fruit, eggs, fried potatoes, sausage, and coffee, plus homemade cookies left in the rooms. Hosts have also packed take-away breakfasts — a sandwich, fruit, yogurt, and an energy bar — for guests heading into the park before sunrise. A pool table is available in the common areas.

Getting to Yosemite

The B&B sits about ten minutes from Buck Meadows and roughly five minutes from Highway 120, the road that leads into the park; guests put the actual Yosemite entrance at about a half-hour drive and Hetch Hetchy at about an hour. That distance is part of the appeal — reviewers describe the property as remote and quiet compared to hotels closer to the valley floor.
