About the host

Hosted by Kathy Rufo

Host profile image
I’m originally from Philadelphia and moved to Yosemite in 1978. I worked for the National Park Service in Yosemite, for 27 years. I started out working on a trail crew and lived all summer in the backcountry of the Park for many years. I came down from the mountains when I was blessed with children and joined the Utilities Department taking care of the water systems throughout the Park.
I left the Park Service in 2007 to develop this property with my son and brother.
I’m retired now, and have spent every summer in the Czech Republic since 2010 and make my home available to folks from around the world that come to experience Yosemite.
I currently mentor teen boys on their way to manhood while in the Czech Republic and find that work incredibly fulfilling.

Why they chose this property

Proximity to Yosemite, the Merced River, and living in a small and safe town keeps me here. Take the time to explore Mariposa and you’ll be richer for it.

What makes this property unique

The Oak Meadows House and Guest House were built with love and care. This is my home…not a business investment. I want everyone who stays here to make themselves at home, and let that welcomed feeling sink in while you enjoy your visit to Yosemite. Relax. Kick your shoes off and enjoy!
