The Homestead is located on 160 wooded acres near the
southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. Larry and Cindy
Ends built the cottages at The Homestead to provide a peaceful
and relaxing getaway, so that you can return to your daily
life rejuvenated and refreshed. They welcome guests from all
walks of life who are seeking accommodations where privacy and
quiet are treasured. They believe in always being "available"
to assist you in any way, but to never be "in your way".
The Homestead's five private cottages and two-bedroom,
two-bath house stand in harmony with the ancient oaks. Natural
gardens, meandering rock walls, and clear blue skies lull you
into the slower pace of a mountain retreat. Inside, the
meticulous attention to detail, the warmth of yellow pine, and
the hand-trowelled plaster and saltillo tile floors grace each
cottage with a simple luxury.
The spacious cabins offer vaulted ceilings, a living room
with gas fireplace and satellite television, a fully equipped
kitchen, and dining area. A separate bedroom with queen-size
bed and adjoining bathroom complete your cottage. Two cottages
also have oversized soaking tubs. Your private porch sitting
area draws you outside to enjoy the twilight and the magical
stars. Additional amenities include air conditioning, a gas
barbecue grill, daily maid service, robes, hairdryers, irons
and ironing boards, in-cottage massages, and concierge
assistance.
Enjoy a continental breakfast in the privacy of your own
cottage at any time you want. Your kitchen is stocked daily
with coffees, teas, juice, muffins, and fruit. After
breakfast, venture to the mountain village of Oakhurst, a
10-minute drive from The Homestead. Here you will find quaint
shops, the latest movies, local plays, major supermarkets, and
small department stores. Elegant dining awaits you at
five-star Erna's Elderberry House, while more casual and
ethnic restaurants are available.
The majority of Homestead guests are looking for a quiet,
romantic getaway to reconnect with that special person in
their life. Many visit for honeymoons and anniversaries; the
romantic ambiance has even spurred proposals. The Homestead is
truly a place where one can just relax and enjoy nature. Cindy
and Larry invite you to join them and experience a hideaway
that flows in tune with nature's quiet rhythm. |
Outdoor adventurers who love hiking, horseback riding, and
mountain biking yet don't want rustic appreciate The
Homestead's blend of a mountain setting with luxury
accommodations.
Horse owners are invited to bring their horses to enjoy the
many trails in the area. Three golf courses challenge players
of all levels, with one course just two minutes down the road.
Many Homestead guests enjoy seeing the sights of Yosemite
and the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway, while others hardly venture
off the Homestead's 160 acres. |
