About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"The 56" - Yosemite Foothills Ranch

Joe and Cathy moved to beautiful Catheys Valley to enjoy the serenity and quiet solitude of a ranch off the beaten path. Their outdoor lifestyle and love of animals and horseback riding is perfectly suited for life on “The 56”. The guest home listed here is a quarter mile away from their personal residence and has two bedrooms and two full baths. Enjoy quiet evenings at the house, BBQ's and bonfires in the great outdoors overlooking the gorgeous lights of the Central Valley!

Miniature horses live directly across from the guest home! Guests are welcome to interact with the goats and ponies with guidance from the owners. A special experience for you and your kids!!

Don't forget about Yosemite National Park! YNP is approximately an hour away (50 miles) when travelling through hwy 140 through the historic town of Mariposa or approximately 1 hr. 20 minutes (60 miles) if traveling via hwy 49 through the lovely town of Oakhurst CA.

Our 56 acre property is yours to hike and explore. We have safe quad trails for hiking, biking and walking your dog. We have a 10 X 10 covered dog kennel for your use during the day should you decide to leave your dog here. Although well behaved dogs are allowed to be in the guest home and be off a leash while you are present, they are not allowed in the home during the day if you leave.There is also a pool at the house to cool off in on those warm summer days.

We will never be far away if you need anything. You will see us feeding the horses, goats and chickens during the day, but we will let you enjoy your space.
Your children would be welcome to meet the animals with me and share in the "chores" if they like! We have chickens in the hen house for fresh eggs for our guests every day! The kids (or grownups) are welcome to get them in the morning!

WHEN VISITING THE MERCED AREA &/OR YOSEMITE - THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY!
From the peaceful location with great views (the travel on the dirt road to the home was well worth it!); to the nicely decorated home; to the comfy beds, linens & towels; to the adorable farm animal friends along with many cute local bunnies & squirrels; to about an hour drive to Yosemite; and finally, but just as important, to the gracious hosts that Joe & Cathy are: EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL!

Great staycation spot
This place was beyond wonderful!!! It’s a place you can go and just stay at the house the whole time because there is so much to do. We have three little kids and they had a blast!! The owners were so friendly and hospitable! There is a fire pit, outdoor scrabble board, movies, books, games, the animals, the pool, the beautiful wrap around porch, etc. We even had fun just walking the large property. It’s such a great place to go to get away, I can’t recommend it enough!!! It’s also about an hour drive to Yosemite but the cute little town of Mariposa is closer and a fun place to check out if you don’t want to stay at the house the whole time. We had so much fun at this property and can’t wait to come back again!!!

Best 50th Anniversery Ever
We totally enjoyed spending our 50th at 56 Ranch. The little house was well appointed, wonderfully decorated and quite comfortable. There were great beds and pillows, bathrooms stocked with items that filled every need, and the kitchen had all the necessities, plus. We had fun feeding the horses carrots, finding (and eating!) the chicken’s eggs, and watching the bunnies cavort across the lawn. They were, however, too quick for Sasha, our most welcome dog. Great sunset view from the wrap around patio, as well as entertaining views of the animals through the day. We splashed in the pool, enjoyed meeting our hosts, and over all had a wonderful, relaxing time. Thank you.
