A RoundHat Ranch stay is a great addition to your Yosemite vacation experience. Located in the pastoral Catheys Valley, an area of large and small ranches, 2.7 miles off State Hwy 140 (the only all-weather route to Yosemite, and parallels the route of discovery of the Yosemite Valley along the Merced River Gorge by Indians, explorers, and miners). The 'Cottage' is nestled within the ranch, having its own private fenced area. You can move about the ranch along the many tree-lined trails, seeing the animals, and taking in the sights, sounds, and feel of the ranch. The Cottage has been designed, both inside and out, for an intimate and serene experience for its guests The Ranch has a full-time owner/manager living at the Ranch Headquarters and can answer any questions you might have during your stay. RoundHat Ranch has a no pets, no children, 1-2 ADULTS ONLY (21 and over) rental policy due to liability issues concerning the horses and other animals on the Ranch. The policy does allow us to not charge a Security Deposit. From RoundHat Ranch, it is 3.3 miles to restaurant, gas, and convenience store at the Catheys Valley crossroads at Highway 140 and Hornitos Rd., then it is 10 scenic miles to the historic mining town of Mariposa, another 12 scenic miles later, you enter the spectacular Merced River Gorge (this is the beginning of your Yosemite experience) traveling along the river (Hwy 140) straight into Yosemite Valley. The Arch, West Yosemite Park Entrance (beginning of the Valley), is 45 miles from the ranch, but be advised the scenic beauty may cause you to stop, observe, or linger along the way, so, time to Yosemite Valley varies. RoundHat Ranch Cottage is 1 bedroom with queen-size bed, 1 bath with shower, and additional outside shower. There is outside the cottage, within the private fenced area, shade-cloth covered arbor patios, a roof covered all weather patio with double chair swing, cement table with inlaid chess/checker board, fountain, outdoor shower with stall and dressing area, propane BBQ, Chaise lounges, patio furniture all shaded by large mature Oak trees. Inside the Cottage the 1 bedroom is appointed with things related to the ranch and Yosemite, and a Queen size bed w/ linens, blankets, comforter, futon chair/bed and ceiling fans.

Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So lucky to have found Our five-night stay at the RoundHat Cottage was beyond our expectations. The description and photos are accurate, though photos cannot capture the utter beauty and serenity this cottage has to offer. After spending our days exploring the parks at Yosemite, King’s Canyon and Sequoia, coming “home” was just as restorative, especially with sweet donkeys and beautiful sunsets (don’t miss the sunset from the deck at “Rocky Top”). Steve and Gayle were wonderful hosts. Everything we needed was in the cottage, so we cooked a lot of meals and took a lot of outdoor showers :) We highly recommend and would love to return! - Paul & Tom ![View from the very private outdoor shower and tub.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f633e532-82d2-4e0e-b1b0-d4c3bdfa9dec-1754778115315.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Moonlight view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/45adab7e-a2c5-4a7f-b122-49dd5e34b252-1754778083410.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![With either Libby or Jewel (?)](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ecbc5bc2-ff3b-4497-b0e1-557f606b066b-1754778109725.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![With either Libby or Jewel (?)](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12040dcd-2c8c-4529-9b48-c75c2afa6acb-1754778103332.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Paul D.

We couldn’t have asked for a better host and stay for our Yosemite visit. Enjoyed talking with Steve and Gayle. ##### Richard C.

The Round Hat Cottage is just an amazing place to stay. Look forward to returning on our next trip to Yosemite. Thank you Steve for letting us enjoy your piece of paradise. The pictures do not actually capture how beautiful the cottage and area is - so be prepared to enjoy your stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabby M.

This was a lovely place with basically no neighbors and tons of animals, both domestic and wildlife. We saw everything from horses and donkeys to owls and even a bobcat! Overall if you enjoy rural living, you will LOVE this place. I really can’t say enough good things about it. ##### Gabby M.
