Groveland Getaway

02/05/2026

Today's post is about friendship. I have some dear friends who own a miniature horse ranch in Jamestown, CA. Their little horses have brought me so many smiles over the years. I recently let my friends stay at Groveland Getaway for her birthday. We have 73 five star reviews on our Airbnb website. They mean so much to us, but this old school letter sent by our friends now tops those reviews. It is so special and heartfelt that I had to post it. So happy that we could return the smiles!❤️

I have been blessed to go up to Groveland Getaway and Yosemite several times this year. I thought it would be fun to share some pictures of Groveland Getaway and Yosemite from my trips. You will be able to see the different seasons from Mar-Nov. Enjoy!😊

Fall and winter are a beautiful time to visit Yosemite—and to stay at our cozy Groveland Getaway.

Wake up to a warm gas fireplace and enjoy a cup (or a full pot) of coffee from the Keurig before heading out for the day.

Spend your time exploring Yosemite Valley, then stop by the historic Ahwahnee Hotel, built in 1927 and visited by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip in 1983. You can even request the famous Queen’s Table in the Grand Dining Room when making a breakfast reservation. Afterward, relax with a drink from the bar and take in stunning views of Half Dome.

Back at Groveland Getaway, wind down with s’mores on the deck and enjoy incredible stargazing under the mountain sky.

If you’re looking for a beautiful rustic cabin for Thanksgiving or Christmas, look no further. The cabin is decorated for Thanksgiving and will be fully decorated for Christmas—with two Christmas trees to make the season extra special.

Groveland Getaway is:
Just 3 hours from San Francisco or San Jose
2.5 hours from Sacramento
1.5 hours from Merced

Located in the charming town of Groveland, the home sits inside the private, gated mountain community of Pine Mountain Lake. It’s spacious enough for two families to comfortably share, and our 5-star reviews speak for themselves.
We look forward to hosting you soon!

The Iron Door Saloon is one of my favorite places to visit when I stay at Groveland Getaway. It is such a fun place and so much history. It is the oldest operating Saloon in California. You can wear your western attire here with your western jackets, boots, and cowboy/cowgirl hats. Family friendly with great food and drinks! You can try your hand at making a dollar bill stick to the ceiling. So much fun!😊

The Historical Iron Door Saloon and Grill is a family friendly atmosphere with great food and friendly service. Come check out our live music, karaoke night, or just the historic artifacts and photos!

Fall is such a wonderful time to visit Yosemite. The beautiful Aspen, Dogwood, Oak, and Maple trees are on full display. These pictures were taken on 25 Oct 25. Gorgeous pictures and credit is given to the awesome photographers. Now is a great time to visit Groveland Getaway, our amazing Airbnb cabin located in Pine Mountain Lake, a beautiful private gated mountain community. The off season rates are really low right now. Only $150 on week nights and $175 on weekends. The cabin is big enough for 2 families to share. The cabin is located only 25 miles from the west gate, Big Oak Flat, Hwy 120 entrance to Yosemite National Park. With the government shut down, there are no rangers at the toll booths so you won't have to pay the $35 per car entrance fee. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to visit beautiful Yosemite in the fall!

What a great time to visit Yosemite National Park! The weather is perfect with no reservations required and no crowds. There is so much to see and enjoy. The Tioga Pass road to Olmsted Point and Tenaya Lake is still open along with Glacier Point Road. These roads are closed 6 months out of the year for snow so don't miss out on your chance to see some incredible beauty this year.

The Ahwahnee Hotel is a great place to sit outside with a glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful closeup view of Half Dome. Stop and marvel at the beauty of peaceful Fern Spring. The sheer cliffs of El Capitan are absolutely stunning. Tunnel View, Washburn Point and Glacier Point are so amazing. You can also hike to beautiful Taft Point and then end your day with gorgeous sunset views from Washburn and Glacier Points.

Groveland Getaway now has end of season lower prices. Fall is coming to Yosemite and the beautiful Aspen trees are a site to behold. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to stay in a beautiful Airbnb in the peaceful private gated community of Pine Mountain Lake!

Yosemite never ceases to amaze me! This photograph is one of my favorite memories of Yosemite. It was late afternoon on 29 Jun 2022. I arrived at Tunnel View just at the right time to see Bridalveil Fall in full colors! Yosemite showing off again!😊
