Spinning Wheel Yosemite

We stayed here in late August 2015 on a trip to Yosemite. We really loved the property. We stayed in the Hetch Hetchy house which is newly built, and perfectly laid out and filled with everything you could need, in great condition. My favorite part was the expansive deck out the back that overlooked a creek and trees. Really felt like we were away from it all. It is definitely a quiet, get away from it all place. No cell reception and nothing nearby (supplies and restaurants in Groveland, about 20 mins away). About 40 mins to Hetch Hetchy in Yosemite and 1 hour to Yosemite Valley. Though you are not in the park, it feels like it. Oh yes, and a great peaceful pool to cool off in the afternoons. Highly recommended!

I found this place via the website Vacation Rentals by Owner. We wanted to spend some nice quiet time in the Sierras near Yosemite. All the arrangements were made online and/​or via email. The website was easy to navigate and making reservations was easy. We rented the Sun House which has a great deck and the pool/​spa right outside the front. It also included a full kitchen and bath with shower only. Perfect for two people but there is a second room that has a day bed. No phones, no cable or satellite. But you get quiet, birds chirping, stars galore at night and a great area to walk and play at the riverside. It’s also close to Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy. The owners were very nice and available but not intrusive so you could really enjoy the quiet. There were two other cabins being used and while there were guests there, you wouldn’t know it. Yes, the Rim Fire did its destruction in the area but there is some rebuilding by man as well as nature and if you want to, just drive a few minutes and you can be near a lake or stream or river where you’d never know a fire came near.
