Located above Highway 41 and just minutes from Yosemite's southern entrance, our comfortable, family-friendly modern mountain home offers a convenient yet private retreat with stunning mountain views, luxurious clean living spaces, and even the nostalgic sounds of the nearby Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad.
This is not a rustic cabin! Our brand-new, fully modern 2400 square-foot, 3 bedroom home offers you all the comforts and open spaces you'll need for that unforgettable trip to the Yosemite area with your extended family or friends. And once again you can even enjoy a relaxing soak in our hot tub!

It's best to contact us by email but you can also call and leave a message if you prefer. When checking our calendar remember that we need at least a full calendar day between groups in order to prepare the house. Happy planning!

Our unique home overlooks the upper reaches of the Lewis Creek watershed at an elevation of nearly 5000 feet. In the summer, the climate here ranges from comfortable daytime highs that average in the upper 70's (~25 degrees Celsius), to cool evenings with average lows in the low 50's (~10 degrees Celsius).

At this elevation the sun is intense all year round. There is nearly always a gentle breeze blowing during the day. There is very little or no rain during the summer months so humidity levels are very low and swimsuits air-dry quickly. Spring and early fall are the seasons of dynamic color and wetter weather. Late fall, winter and early spring are quiet seasons of incredible beauty. Along with this beauty comes the possibility of ice and snow on mountain roads and on our steep driveway.

Our prime location puts you away from the crowds, yet close to everything Yosemite has to offer. The southern entrance to Yosemite is less than four miles up the road. If you love the outdoors, this is the place to call home. There is so much do to here that you could easily fill your day with excitement without ever entering the park itself!

A great getaway for a long weekend!
The house was beautiful and the view was extraordinary! David was very responsive. There had been a snowfall which had made me rather apprehensive about our visit. He made sure the steep driveway was plowed and stayed to make sure we were comfortable getting up the steep driveway. Didn’t have any problems. Had a wonderful day at Yosemite and my 95 year old father was delighted with the scooter accessible trail to the Lower Falls. Also enjoyed visited the town of Oakhurst. Smokehouse 41 had some delicious BBQ, visited a nice fruit stand and bought some artwork at the Williams Gallery West. Also enjoyed time at the house playing games at the nice large kitchen table and enjoying movies and popcorn downstairs before heading to bed. Truly a great weekend!

Wonderful retreat.
My family of 6 and our dogs enjoyed ourselves at Logger’s Retreat. We appreciated the amenities that made us feel at home. There was a well stocked kitchen, awesome wifi, and cellular phone connection. The house is beautiful and we didn’t want to leave. It’s a truly magical place where we all were able to unplug and soak in the wonders of nature in absolute comfort. We walked our dogs around the property and they loved it there. We spent the day skiing at Badger Pass Ski area in Yosemite park. Definitely 10/10 experience and would book again. Thanks Dave for being such a wonderful host.

Holiday family reunion
This property is new, spacious, spotlessly clean and has beautiful views of surrounding forest. Our multi-generational family group of 9 enjoyed it very much. We went on three beautiful hikes in nearby Yosemite National Park, on the Lewis Creek Trail and on the fire road above the house.

Loggers Retreat 2.0 is Even Better Than Before!
We stayed in Loggers Retreat a few times in the early 2000's & the last time was in 2009 with our nieces & their parents. We all returned this Thanksgiving Weekend, 2023 & loved it even more! We were so sad to hear about the fire.& so glad to hear about the rebuild. Loggers Retreat 2.0 is Even Better Than Before! Thanks For The Memories!
