Sierra Sky Ranch

Top choice in Yosemite & the Sierra Nevada


This 1875 former ranch encompasses 14 attractive acres. The homespun rooms are phone-free and pet friendly, with double doors that open onto shady verandas. The rambling and beautiful old lodge has vintage Western furniture and loads of comfortable lounging areas. The owners were renovating the restaurant during our last visit.

With a storied history, including previous uses as a tuberculosis hospital and a bordello, the ranch also counts Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne as former guests. Many swear that it’s cheerfully haunted by former residents.
