The most relaxing and amazing location to stay during your next trip to Yosemite is The Secret Meadows Retreat.
This A frame home is situated on it’s own fourteen acres of meadows and forest. It features one bedroom plus a loft bedroom, large living room with sofas and wood burning fireplace.
Frequented by deer and other wildlife this is an exclusive experience being offered as a rental for the first time, on a trial basis.
Driving through three gates and 300 yards down it’s private driveway will bring you to the home and the first meadow.
This is an old homestead site with just a handful of nearby cabins, all of which are far enough away to provide you with complete privacy (except for the deer, birds, and other wildlife). Adjacent to and surrounded by thousands of aces of Stanislaus National Forest which can accessed by trails and old logging roads from the Retreat.
Located just 400 yards from Hwy 120, approximate five miles west of the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite National Park, in the Hardin Flat area.
This is an incredible destination that may leave you content without even venturing into Yosemite Valley, even though the Big Oak Flat entrance to Yosemite is just another ten minutes down the 120.
Nearby horseback riding, river rafting and guided tours can be arranged.
The home is cozy, with one private bedroom with queen bed and TV, a loft with one double pillow-top queen and one full (plus an amazing view over the meadow), a dining room, fully stocked kitchen and a large, fourteen x twenty four foot, family room with a big wood burning fireplace, 42” flat screen TV on Dish Network, a desk with computer, and couches which can easily sleep two more.
Includes all appliances, a washer-dryer, hot water (strong pressure), central heating (plus a pellet stove in the dining room and the wood burning fireplace in the living room).

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Yosemite National Park
I have been searching (and continue searching) for extradinary properties in the best natural locations.
Secret Meadows Retreat qualifies due to:
1) It's proximity to incredible Yosemite National Park
2) It's unsurpassable privacy, peace and quiet
3) The rarity of having fourteen privately owned acres of perfect meadows and forest
4) The variety of incredible activities which can be experienced in the immediately surrounding area
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin

On site or nearby horseback riding, whitewater rafting (seasonal), snowshoeing (seasonal), hiking, mountain biking, waterfall viewing, fishing, boating, cliff jumping (into Rainbow Pool - 1 mile), bird watching, horseshoes, volleyball or badminton plus much, much more.

It is a beautiful cabin in a wood, very confortable, with everything you need, just a few miles from the entrance of Yosemite Park. We were a family of five, we had a wonderful two-days holiday and we were all sorry we could not have time to stay longer! Donatella
Owner response:Donatella, I'm glad you and your family had the chance to experience Yosemite! Dan

We had a great stay in late June. The house is very comfortable and quiet. The setting is lovely. The beds were quite comfortable, and the kitchen was well-supplied with pans/dishes/appliances. It's very convenient to Yosemite--not far from the Big Oak Flat entrance. The owner and caretaker were both kind and easy to work with. We had 4 adults and 3 children under 5, who enjoyed playing indoors and outdoors.

Convenient location; beautiful surroundings with true privacy. The meadows and the trees in the sun are really charming. The house is big enough for 6 people with large living and dining areas. The kitchen is nice with everything you need. Good for family and young people who would like to share space.
