Yosemite Bed and Breakfast

This place is wonderful. The couple who runs and owns this place on their property are simply wonderful. They are genuinely nice and helpful. My group and I stayed in the Cottage. It has two rooms, a fold out sofa bed, kitchen and two full bathrooms. The place was clean and comfortable. We were here to hike Half Dome and couldn’t find anything near the park, but so thankful we found this place. The place is about an hr from the Yosemite Park entrance and an additional 30 mins to the Valley. I wish we had a little longer stay to enjoy the place more, but we were able to grill out and have a wonderful relaxing dinner on the back porch overlooking the hillside, where there is a family of deer, wild turkeys, and a bunch of humming birds.
I definitely recommend this place and would come back.

First of all these people are genuinely nice folks! Clay & Joy really know what they are doing and truly made our 3 night stay incredibly relaxing! There is a lot of wildlife (deer, birds, turkeys and bats at night) on the surrounding grounds that are made to feel welcomed and provide such enjoyable entertainment it was a must to sit on the back deck each night.
Our room was clean and kept nice and cool for us as we visited in the month of July when it was in the mid 80 – 90’s. After a day of exploring Yosemite that was a comforting touch.
Breakfast was outstanding with everything homemade and served so nicely by the bay window in the kitchen. Trays of bird seed on the deck beckoned woodpeckers to finches. Many hummingbirds were also seen daily.
Needless to say we really enjoyed our time here and will come again and recommend staying here to all who visit the area.

Can’t say enough good things about my stay here. A clean, well appointed room. Gracious and welcoming hosts. Good breakfast, in room kitchen, gorgeous views, visiting wildlife, welcoming pool and friendly visitors made for a super vacation! I will definitely go back!

This review is long overdue… In November two years ago, we absolutely loved staying at Clay and Joy’s place. They felt like the grandparents my fiancé and I never had! We arrived late at night from San Francisco, driving through the rain and Clay showed us to our room with a smile and explained everything in detail. He was so welcoming.
We woke up the next morning to Joy cooking a freshly made breakfast. The woman is AMAZING. She had everything prepared for us, even with her arm in a sling! Not only is she an excellent cook, but she’s also got a wild side. I can’t recall if she broke her arm motorcycling this time or if it was zip lining… Anyways, her breakfast with Clay’s assistance was top notch, even down the the homemade syrups and jams.
They also upgraded us to the Sierra room which was so gracious of them. They felt it had a little more room for us so they moved us over.
I can’t thank them enough for such a relaxing trip. They are just amazing people all around. We were sad to say goodbye at the end of our trip!

This is a long over-​due review of Yosemite Bed & Breakfast. After some research of the bed & breakfasts in the area of Yosemite, my boyfriend and I decided to book Yosemite B&B for 2 nights with a Unilocal deal. We had booked the Sage room but upon arrival and were up-​graded free-​of-​charge to the cottage. Our original check-​in time was anticipated for 10 PM, however we got delayed. I called Clay to let him know and he left the lights, heat, and door un-​locked for us to check ourselves in. In the mornings, Clay & Joy provided us with home-​made breakfasts (fresh juice, fruit, waffles, eggs or sausage) in their kitchen. They gave us a lot of suggestions for hiking and places to eat in town (Mariposa). We had a lovely stay and would recommend this to anyone looking for a place around Yosemite. Clay & Joy are super friendly and make you feel at home and the B&B is clean and homey. Yosemite B&B is about a 45 minute to 1 hour drive to Yosemite Valley.

My wife Emily and I decided to stay at Yosemite Bed and Breakfast for 2 days to enjoy the park. The drive itself to this location will leave you in awe of how beautiful and peaceful is the environment. The place is owned by Clay and Joy who are great people, they treat you like family and make you feel at home. Upon arrival we were given a free room upgrade on the house which was awesome. The room was very clean, roomy and well equipped. Breakfast was served at 9 promptly and it was home made delicious and plentiful. We had the peace and quiet that is hard to find in the urban area we reside but enjoyed every bit of our stay. We also met their really old but cute dog «Miss Midge and got to see some wild turkeys roaming in the outskirts of the property.
Overall great place, quiet, clean, great view, a must if you are visiting Yosemite and want somewhere to stay.

Had the pleasure of spending several days at Clay and Joy Blacks wonderful bed and breakfast. We stayed in The Sierra Room and found the room both comfortable and private. All the rooms have well equipped bathrooms and private outside doors. The room was very comfortable and included a coffee maker with coffee, a hot pot with teas/​hot chocolate, bottled waters, a small refrigerator, Wi-​Fi, and satellite TV. Oh, and a pool to cool off in. Bonus if you are traveling with children.
The grounds are well taken care of and I found it to be a great setting to sit with my morning cup of coffee and read a good book while awaiting our lovely 9am full American style breakfast, prepared by Joy. Served on fine china.
If you’re planning on visiting Yosemite, as several other guests were doing, it’s only about a 40 minute drive to the entrance of the park. I imagine after spending the day seeing the sights at this beautiful yet tourist packed park, coming back to Yosemite Bed and Breakfast, would be a very welcoming place to chill.
There is a barbecue to grill up dinner, or you can drive back to town (Mariposa), about 10 minutes, and have dinner at several restaurants. We like the pizza at The Pizza Factory. Maybe pick one up on you’re way back from the park.
Clay and Joy, themselves, have frequented many bed and breakfasts in their travels and have taken the best from their experiences and turned it to Yosemite Bed and Breakfast.
As I said to Clay as we were reluctantly heading back to the SF Bay Area, I wouldn’t change a thing.
