Stunning Views & Private, Yosemite Gold Rush Ranch, Pickleball!

At the Gold Rush Ranch, you will be just 35 minutes (22 miles) from the Arch Rock Entrance to Yosemite NP - the only all-season highway to Yosemite that's open all year round.

Our peaceful and very private 9 acre property sits on a high ridge with expansive views of the Sierras, where deer and rabbits hang out. The home - a modern cabin experience - is perfect for a family but cozy enough for couples.

Come and enjoy the views and the seclusion!

NEW in 2025! A brand new tournament sized Pickleball Court!

Our backyard is an amazing oasis of peace and tranquility with no neighbors in sight. The newly built custom rock fire pit sets the mood for late evenings under the starry skies. Watch the evening light slowly fade away into darkness. See the stars blanket the night sky and the Milky Way. It's peaceful and quiet up here - just rabbits and deer wandering about. The red barn stands peacefully in the middle of the property.

From every room you will have unobstructed views of the Sierras. Inside the house the decor is modern minimalism. The great room overlooks the Sierras with postcard views through large windows. A Sonos sound system lets you relax to your music with a crackling wood stove providing the ambiance on cooler fall and winter days. In the mornings, watch the sun rise over the mountains from the comfort of the cabin or from the back deck.

If cooking is your thing, the home has a brand new kitchen with all new appliances and cookware. We have fridge, stove, dishwasher, toaster, pots, pans, cups, plates, utensils, InstantPot, Rice cooker, and a BBQ grill. Love coffee? We have Oxo burr coffee grinder, Hario v60 pour over setup, mokapot and a Ninja coffee maker.

For entertainment, Roku TV in guest mode lets you sign into your own streaming services through high speed Starlink Internet.

There’s a bathroom with stand-in shower right off living room for quick showers. The second bedroom has two twin beds and an attached bathroom with bath tub and a shower. The master suite has a king bed with a bath tub. With three full baths, your entire group can get ready for the day or quickly unwind for the evening.

We have a heat pump that keeps the house cool in summer and warm in winter. It's powered by solar and Tesla Powerwall battery. Even in a power outage, you have peaceful, quiet power that will keep you comfortable.

There's a level 2 EV charger next to the barn to get your EV charged up and ready for your adventure the next day. We have Tesla solar and Powerwall batteries for clean power during power outages which is quite possible during hot summer and stormy winter days.

Sleeping arrangement:

Bedroom 1 (Master) has king size bed and its own bathroom and closet.

Bedroom 2 has two twin beds with its own bathroom and closet. Note that the 2nd bedroom is not private. You have to walk through the 2nd bedroom to reach the Master Bedroom. So the home is suited more for a single family than multiple families vacationing together.

The Living Room has a Queen sofa bed and comes with bedding for a good night sleep.

We provide all of the bedding and bath linens for your use during your stay. We also provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, toilet paper, tissue, paper towels and trash bags.
