6 Miles to Yosemite Entrance 14 Acre Private & Gated Retreat Wildlife Sanctuary

I'm really glad you enjoyed Secret Meadows Retreat. Our 14 acre private and gated retreat offers the same old growth forest, meadows and wildlife that you'll experience 6 miles away inside Yosemite National Park. I'm glad you are joining our large group of repeat guests. And please remember I also have a larger riverfront house just a mile away, Secret Rivers Retreat. Dan

Glad you and your friends enjoyed and had a nice quiet base for your hiking adventures and post wedding decompression. Hope to have you back before long.

We're glad you enjoyed Secret Meadows Retreat and it's 14 acres of extremely private and tranquil meadows and forest. We'd love for you to return or to try Secret Rivers Retreat, with 250 feet of private frontage on The South Fork of The Tuolumne River and just 5 miles to the Park entrance. Or the combination as they are only one mile apart.

Yes, that fireplace is very enlightening. and comforting., especsially after a long day outdoors. And our fourteen acres of private meadows, forest and trails provide a "Yosemite" experience with no other people, just deer, hawks, squirells, woodpeckers and other freendly neighbors.

I'm glad you enjoyed Secret Meadows Retreat, Laura. We just converted to Starlink and it's a big improvement from Hughesnet. The 14 acres of meadows, forest and trails do provide unbeatable privacy. I just spent four days there and didn't see another human, just deer, hawks and bullfrogs. Verizon comes in well, but not T Mobile or AT&T. I hope you get a chance to return, or to check out my riverfront property one mile away.

We're glad you enjoyed Secret Meadows Retreat, Stacie. It's great that you were able to enjoy the peace and quiet of our 14 acres and shared with only the deer and hawks. It's a unique property and one that should be enjoyed by those who appreciate nature and privacy. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope you can return.

I'm glad you had a great getaway and that you enjoyed Secret Meadows Retreat. It's rewarding that you noticed, enjoyed and appreciated the whole 14 acres. Our forest is recovering from The Rim Fire of 2013 with thousands of new trees shooting up. I just enjoyed a week at the retreat and did that loop trail Thursday night. I had forgotten how big the property is, and that you can have a good, long hike without leaving the property. It also made me decide to make better use of the western side of the property, so expect at least a tree house, rope swing, or more when you return, and I hope you do.

Hello Frank, I'm glad you would like to stay again and that you enjoyed the beauty, tranquility and privacy of Secret Meadows Retreat. As you know we discovered the Hughesnet satellite transmitter was knocked out of position by a windstorn but fortunately our Starlink was working the whole time and my caretaker gave you that password when he came to address the issue.This (Mother Nature) is why we pay for two separate internet providers at Yosemite. The shower head holder did get broken during the prior stay and was replaced. In regards to the furniture I was actually in agreement and a step ahead on the furniture. I have a whole new sofa set going in to the living room.

Communication is important. If the guest had notified me I would have told them to open the faucet for the heat exchange unit. I don't know if it's fair to post such a low review rating for a question that wasn't asked. Sometimes guests turn things off when they check out so now the housekeeper has instructions to test the cooling and heating systems. But I'm glad Sean and his group enjoyed everything else about Secret Meadows Retreat and it's beautiful fourteen acres of meadows, old growth forest and trails.
