Yosemite Sierra View Bed & Breakfast

Bruce & Lori were very congenial hosts and happily shared their beautiful home with us. They were helpful and informative. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast in their sun-filled dining room overlooking the Sierras. The guest rooms were very nice and comfortable.

We stayed for 4 days and really enjoyed ourselves. The view is spectacular and our room are large and clean. The Inn Keepers knew the area well and gave us great directions to wonderful activities including the Chocolate and Wine Festival in Oakhurst. Seems like some festival or activity is always going on in Oakhurst. Lori even had a book she wrote named "Life in Oakhurst" available for us to read. Laughed thru the whole thing. Plan to go again after the first of the year. Ed and Carol

We stayed for 3 nights. The hosts were very welcoming and made every effort to accommodate us. Location is a bit far from the Park, yet still convenient. The house is high on the hillside with a very nice view over the surroundings, however you will hear a constant noise from the Hwy 41 passing down bellow. The noise is not overbearing, but could be a nuisance for those looking for a retreat to nature. At the price we have paid we would have expected a greater attention to details.

Our recent stay was wonderful. Lori & Bruce Howard could not have been more accommodating or professional. Large suite of rooms, beautiful decor, super-clean, beautiful mountain views, great food. Lori provided very valuable information re: visiting Yosemite. Excellent value. We would stay here again. Jim Juknialis, Cleveland OH

A welcoming and comfortable place that is homey, not overdone and clean. Breakfast and the view provide a wonderful start to the day and the coffee flows generously. I would not hesitate to book again!

We stayed for two nights and loved the amazing views, large and comfortable room and the friendly dog. Most of the facility was built 3 years ago: very elegant, beautiful and high quality materials, efficient water heater and chickens in the front yard. The only thing missing were the solar panels on the roof...Maybe soon :-)) We arrived in the evening and with little advanced notice, Lori, the owner, prepared us an amazingly delicious dinner. We had the choice of enjoying it on the terrace by ourselves, or joining our hosts at the dining table. We chose the latter and Lori and her husband Bruce shared tips about what to visit in Yosemite, where the best and less knows views are and what to do when there is no parking available. We left dinner with a map and a full itinerary. Oh, and breakfast was one of the culprits for the few pounds I put on on vacation. We enjoyed a gourmet omelet and a pile of... let's call them, improved pancakes, on the terrace balcony, while underneath a coyote was chasing a cat to the front yard tree. And the best part of breakfast: real plates and real silverware (not just metal, but heavy & think metal) - I had really missed that in hotels, more than I thought!!

Huge well decorated rooms, very welcoming and breakfasts varied and very good. Hosts friendly and informative about local area. An oasis between motels and hotels. Definitely recommend.

The views were great and was located close to town. The Howards were a big help in planning my visit to Yosemite National Park, saving me time in the areas to visit and those to skip since I had a short two days to visit the park.

My wife has food restrictions and emailed the owners. They worked with us on delivering a scrumptious evening meal that accommodated my wife's needs. Very much enjoyed our evening and stay!

We had never stayed at a b&b before so we were not sure what to expect. They exceeded every expectation! The b&b was imaculant and georgeous. The views are amazing and so was the food. They helped us plan our day trip to yosemite. We had the most amazing time.

House location is not on the GPS, Ask specific directions from the Owner. You must climb a steep Unpaved road to reach there. Very nice and helpfull people. Room is clean and breakfast is good.

If you are looking for a B&B near Yosemite, look no further! We had never stayed at a B&B before, but Bruce and Lori made us feel like family. They are lovely and gracious hosts who also value and respect your utmost privacy. We had different and delicious breakfasts every morning. The room is super modern and clean. The view is spectacular. And it's so nice to come home and rest here after a long day of hiking. The home/lot is very charming and you will fall in love with your room, Yosemite, and your spouse/partner all over again.

This was a great place to stay for a 3 day trip to Yosemite. The owners were friendly and very helpful, offering tips for dining. The full breakfasts were just right for us. The room was large and very comfortable. All in all, very enjoyable.

My family of three stayed in the Yosemite Sierra Bed and Breakfast for three nights in June 2011--it was our base for our trip into Yosemite Park. Lori and Bruce made us feel like "part of the family" immediately, even inviting us to join in Lori's Birthday Celebration Party!!! Without a doubt the Yosemite Sierra is one of the friendliest B&B's I have ever stayed in. The views were magnificent, the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners and the location made this a wonderful stay--the best part of our week long California road trip. If our journeys take us back their way, I look forward to visiting once again. I highly recommend Lori and Bruce's B&B

We had a very enjoyable two-day stay. The B&B overlooks the town of Oakhurst and the Sierra mountains to the east. We used this as a resting spot while waiting for our daughter to join us before we went into Yosemite. There is a lot of hiking and exploring that can be done in the area without going into the park -- and you will avoid the crowds. This was a very pleasant place to return to in the evenings and sit out on our patio and watch the stars.

The place was wonderful - long trip and tired and got to the B&B and was very pleasantly surprised to find a cool, comfortable, beautiful room and setting with about a 270 degree view of the Sierras and the Oakhurst Valley. Very beautiful and I highly recommend the stay - even if the driveway is very steep it is worth the drive up....

Bruce and Lori were super nice and very friendly. Felt like I had known them for years. Would definitely stay there again. Gorgeous views and so quiet and serene. Kay Kertis

Pictures don't lie...The views were beautiful and spectacular! Definately worth staying here than at the local hotels. Bruce, Lori, and Boo Boo were great hosts. They were very accomodating. Breakfasts were made daily and were what the guest wanted. They even called the local restaurants to let them know you were on your way. Rooms were spacious and comfortable.

It was my boyfriend's first time staying at a bed and breakfast so he was a little bit apprehensive about what to expect but we both had an amazing time. Lori and Bruce are fantastic hosts and we enjoyed meeting and visiting with the other guests from around the world. The B&B is on the smaller size which provided a nice intimate group of guests. The breakfast were wonderful but we really loved the dinners!! Don't miss out on that! The views are fantastic. A very wonderful and relaxing stay. We hope to visit again.

We stayer two nights at the B&B, in the Suite. It's a ver y convenient two-room place with separate access to thebathroom. The view on the valley is outstanding, just as Lori and Bruce's friendliness! Definitely a place to recommand!

After several days of moving rooms around the Park, it was a welcome relief to settle into the inviting, home-like atmosphere at Sierra View. The rooms were nicely decorated, roomy and comfortable, and completely private from the main house upstairs. The entire home was clean and well kept. Our hosts were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Our meals were delicious and nicely presented both for breakfast and dinner. I felt that we truly got excellent value for our money in the location, atmosphere and comfort of Sierra View.

I based my decision to stay based on the previous good reviews from others who have stayed. It was a wise decision. The view from the room is amazing and the space made it feel like home rather than a hotel. Bruce and Lori were wonderful and made me and my partner feel at ease. I had gotten stressed researching Yosemite and just resigned myself to play the weekend by ear. However, Lori was able to tell me the best places for what i wanted to see and accomplish on my trip. They were accommodating with the menu and prepared things we loved. It was also my anniversary and birthday and they made sure they acknowledged the day and made it special. This was a great find and I hope this review helps you decide to book here. Oh, they have a very loveable dog, 2 cats, and some chickens.. all well loved and maintained.. again a very great find!

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted by Lori who showed us our suite and sat with us to discuss touring Yosemite. The next evening, we joined two other guests, Lori and Bruce for a sumptuous dinner and talked until the late evening. It was more like a dinner party than being paying guests. Both Bruce and Lori are most accommodating and gracious. We would love to return some day.

Not normally being B&B people we stayed because we were meeting friends. It was such a lovely experience that we will be more open to B&B's in the future.

Spacious and cozy. Incredibly relaxing place to stay with magnificent view. Lori and Bruce are the best!
