Couldn’t have had a better stay, with gobsmacking views of the countryside, rolling hills and almond orchards. The house was well appointed and we wanted for nothing. The rodeo was great, as you’d expect, and food options and activities were exactly what we needed!

From the owner: "Thank you to you and your family for visiting! It was wonderful to hear about your family’s connection to Oakdale and Yosemite. We truly appreciate it."
We came for a family wedding and wanted a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. This property was perfect for our family. Gorgeous views, well appointed kitchen, extra special coffee station with antique cups and VERY comfy beds! Everything was lovely and our host was very accommodating.
Best VRBO we have ever stayed at! Beautiful home on a hill overlooking groves of trees. Very nice home with chef’s kitchen great seating for our large family and beautiful outdoor spaces. Host was super friendly and very attentive!
We had a lovely stay at this amazing location. The views are so beautiful, you can see for miles, looking over an expanse of almond orchards. Our kids enjoyed picking oranges and peaches for a yummy treat. In the evening you fall asleep to the hooting of an owl, and in the morning, you awaken to the cooing of doves...absolutely peaceful! I highly recommend staying at this lovely home!

Great is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!
My stay was during the holidays and the Farmhouse was decorated for the season; I could see the tree all lit up in the entryway before we made it onto the property!! We arrived late in the night, the owner made sure the home was warm and a few lights were on. This home meets the standards of visiting a family member who has class and a since of style; quality furniture, comfortable beds and all the ammenities, washer, dryer and a fully furnished, functional and ORGANIZED kitchen with a keurig. One of my favorites was all the windows, the natural lighting and the views from every angle EVEN THE SHOWER, just breath taking!! These girls crossed every "T" and dotted ever "I" on this property. The home is immaculate, clean and decorated to fit the Farmhouse theme; not to mention the vintage wood burning stove, OMG!!! Repeat after me, "SPACIOUS", It was 10 in our group and we still had room!!! And the multi-functioning kitchen island (wooow) had seating for all of us. We didn't want to leave when it was time to go. My 2 year old grandson turned to me and told me bye; as if it was my home and he was visiting me!!! This just speaks to the love, care and attention to detail the sisters put into this home, you can just feel it!!My 2024 Resolution is not to loose weight, or cut back on my cuss words not even cutting back on binge watching Judge Judy. It's spending another weekend with family at the Farmhouse!

Country paradise
I had the most peaceful stay in this beautiful farmhouse. The panoramic views are breathtaking! I loved enjoying the sunrise with my coffee on the wrap around deck. There are various fruit trees around the property too. I look forward to staying here again on my next country retreat!

Amazing place to stay!!
We HIGHLY recommend staying at this house and the ladies who manage it. They are great and so accommodating. This home is absolutely gorgeous and a great place to stay with a few people or a whole group! We had our wedding party stay the week and everyone got ready for the wedding at the house. The bathrooms and bedrooms were perfect for giving us the space to spread out and get ready for our big day. The kitchen table/island is an absolute dream and perfect for big groups and family dinners. The house is up on a hill overlooking beautiful orchards with a view of the Sierras and gave us an amazing view in the background for our first look pictures. We had such a great time and really enjoyed staying there!!
