Yosemite Area Ranch - Ahwahnee
About this house rental
Nestled in Ahwahnee, this lovely house for $299 per night is a great option for your next trip. DG Ranch offers a fantastic opportunity to experience the great outdoors near Yosemite National Park. DG Ranch sits on 35 secluded acres, about 30 minutes away from the entrance to Yosemite National Park. You have your own private home right on the outskirts of Yosemite. The town of Oakhurst is a short 10 minute drive from our ranch with access to numerous restaurants, grocery stores, shops, banks, and activities. On the drive from DG Ranch to Yosemite, you will see the scenery of the incredible Sierra Nevada mountains as you make your way to the entrance of Yosemite National park. DG Ranch is a single family residence that is meant to be a retreat for you. The history of our ranch started in 1959 when it was bought to be a Chinchilla farm, thoroughbred horse and cattle ranch. Our family was raised and has grown up at DG Ranch since 1979. In December 18, 2010, the original house that was built in 1963, burned down. However, we have built a new modern house with all the modern conveniences on the property and in August of 2012, our new house was completed. DG Ranch has four bedrooms, including one master bedroom with a Queen bed and a futon that can comfortably fit two people and a private bathroom. The other 3 bedrooms have a queen bed as well, and a bathroom in the hallway. The living room includes woodburning fireplace as well as a large couch to fit all guests. There is no TV but plenty of beautiful windows to look out into nature. The kitchen is stocked with brand new appliances, a gas fireplace in the dining room, and a dining room table which seats 8, and 12 barstool seats at the counters in the kitchen. Also, in the kitchen area, there is a window seat filled with many board games and puzzles for your enjoyment. There is also a very large deck attached to the back of the house that you can sit on to enjoy the view, and even look at the creek right below the house. If you are looking for a place to party, this is not the place for you. Instead, this place is meant to be a restful retreat and a home away from home. We hope you enjoy our home and are looking forward to you staying with us!

This is such a wonderful place to stay. The house was perfect (even better than pictured) and the property was really nice as it backs up to what feels like a forest. My kids loved hiking down to the creek. The property owner was helpful, quick to reply to any requests, and she was very kind. Overall, this is a great place. I'll be back again soon.

Great house. Would highly recommend . Only downside is that there are no TVs and I did not notice that that was specifically mentioned, however, it worked out because the family was able to spend more quality time together at night after the days’ activities. Perfect location to get to Bass Lake and Yosemite. Everything was very clean and all essentials were available.

The property was more than we expected. It's more beautiful and utilized than you see on the listing, which is exactly opposite from the usual home bookings.
This is perfect for larger groups if one wants to stay 1 hour away from Yosemite Valley Village. I will surely recommend this property to others.

This place is lovely and specious with amazing view and clean which make it a great place for family and friends gathering and small parties. The house was in a good condition with all the supplies and a ping pong table at the garage with couches and a cooler for your drinks. DG is very responsive and supportive. Will definitely stay here again!

We found the house very clean and more beautiful than the listing. The large open family room plus kitchen and the very large deck were very relaxing and inviting - great places for an extended family and friends to come together. The sound from the Miami creek close to the back deck was very relaxing.We also enjoyed playing table tennis in the garage (bring your own racquets). The pantry was well stuffed and there were lots of dishes and cooking utensils. The beautiful cat was well behaved, stayed outside of the house, and kept watch on us! The house was easy to find via Google map and there were adequate signs for the Deo Gloria (DG) Ranch. Familiarizing the surroundings before travel via satellite image map helped. Yosemite entrance gate was not close but was not far either, For spending family time together while visiting Yosemite a house like this is a better option compared to in-park lodging, specially if you have older folks in the party! We loved the inspirational messages throughout the house.

This is a lovely home, well cared for, with all the beauty of the Yosemite Area right in the back yard. Obviously the owners care very much about their visitors. It was a fantastic place to stay, comfy, spacious, and nicely decorated. I highly recommend staying here!

We enjoyed this nice, clean home tucked away from everything. The kids enjoyed the ping pong set up in the garage and even put a puzzle together. It’s been a long time since they did that! With no tv there they really unplugged. We all needed that. Short drive to Mariposa, Bass Lake, and Oakhurst. A little farther to Yosemite but still happy with the stay. The host was very response. If you needed anything this home had it! We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here with my husband and family for a few days since we wanted a place nearby to travel to Yosemite. It was absolutely wonderful. The location is in a quiet and peaceful ranch. The local country kitties were so adorable and friendly. They didn’t have any TVs but we had plenty to do 😊 will definitely stay again in the future.

Wonderful family retreat
Our family (of 10) met and stayed at DG's property, coming from Oregon, Kansas & Minnesota to attend a family wedding at Bass Lake Resort, CA. The place was perfect for us, couldn't have asked for a nicer home for our stay. Would recommend it to any and everyone.

Just as it was described
The place was nice, clean, spacious, and quite. Its great for 2 families. My son loves bird watching and there were plenty of wild birds (turkeys too) on the property. The lack of TV was no issue for us and the kids still had fun hanging out.
The place is hard to find if you are using google maps. I would suggest you navigate to "Rd 621 and High Point court", this will take you to the entrance of High Point court which leads to a cul de sac (there are signs at the end of the cul de sac to navigate to the property).
It is a 30-50 min drive to the entrance of Yosemite (based on traffic) and like others have said it'll take 1 hour 30 minutes to get to the valley.
The kitchen pantry had everything we needed and there was a grill in the garage for grilling as well. All in all a nice and peaceful stay.

As advertised, this was a great vacation home for the week just outside of Oakhurst. It was our (6 adults) launching point to do daily trips to the south entrance of Yosemite. Although only 14 miles or so from the entrance, it is a full hour and half drive from the DG ranch to the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center, plus whatever wait there is to get into the park. But, overall for us it was a great choice, though further than we would have liked. The home itself is very peaceful and spacious, with a great deck to enjoy the property while eating a meal. It is 5-10 min also from a Vonn's which is great to have nearby. If we were to make any suggestions it would be two - that the beds be upgraded to better mattresses, as a good night's sleep is great to count on when hiking every day, and that sharp knives be available. We like to cook all of our meals, and having sharp knives is a nice luxury to have on hand. Other than that, we enjoyed this property, and the owners were very thoughtful to communicate the new regulations for Yosemite to us well ahead of our stay, so we could make sure we had the reservations we needed. Thanks so much for a great week!

Family Trip
The property was very nice for my family. Out in the country with many things to do within a 40-minute drive. The only negative which was noted on the site was there was no TV. Could have used a few more drinking glasses but there were many coffee cups. Had a great time with the ping-pong table in the garage and the back porch was great to sit on at night as it was too hot during the day. Over-all great house for the price.

Great for large families
We enjoyed our stay at DG Ranch. Tucked away, we had plenty of room for our group. We enjoyed playing games, splashing in the nearby creek and finding constellations in the starry sky!
Fully stocked kitchen with dishes and cookware.
Would stay here again!

Awesome getaway home
We have enjoyed our family trip in this house. Short drive to stores, Bass lake, hikes and close to Yosemite south entrance for a day trip. The house is spacious and there's plenty of outside space for play and far from neighbors. Great view!

We enjoyed the warm decorations all around the house. The house is clean and situated in a quiet area. We loved the small river down behind the house. There are two ways to get to the house according to Apple Maps, however one way was blocked by a fallen tree on the private dirt road, so we used the alternate route (Road 621) instead of Sunrise Drive. I would recommend this place to my friends.
