Vulture’s View Bed and Breakfast

James and I Loved our stay! My husband rented room #1. we hope to come back again in the future. We enjoyed the spa this morning before we had to leave it was so nice to just listen to the birds and the morning noises. Our small lap dog Kenobi loved his stay as well. We saw deer in the Early mornings. We enjoyed the fireplace our last night and this morning. The mini refrigerator had been stocked with fresh fruit, milk, oj, yogurt. With space to spare for my hunnys beer and my mimosas mixings lol… the fruit was nice to add to my mimosas too. pre cut strawberries. Some blueberries. Very nice. Plenty of space in the room. Bathroom area was nice and spacious.. Just great all around

An absolute gem, in a quiet spot above the town of Oakhurst, south of Yosemite and near Bass Lake. Wonderful owners who take great care of their charming property. Clean, well maintained. Very friendly owners who leave you your privacy but are responsive to your needs. The property overlooks a beautiful valley. They can assist you with your Yosemite plans, what to see, etc. Check out Bass Lake, too, which is really close, for a great day of boating (we’re amateurs but rented a boat for a great day). I would be very happy to stay there again. Only 3 rooms in the whole property. Enjoyed the one with the jacuzzi! Great people, great stay. They don’t cook a breakfast, but do leave a nice stock of breakfast foods. Recommended highly.

This cute bed and breakfast is a true gem! We had room #1, the only one with a hot tub and a view of the mountain! It’s worth the extra money. The owners are great and pretty much leave you alone and they leave you plenty of breakfast stuff in the fridge. Also if you plan on going to Yosemite they have more than enough tips on what to see! They best part was that she accommodated my gluten allergy and that fact I was vegetarian. I would definitely stay here again!

Could very well be the highlight of visiting Yosemite. Great views from the bedroom and patio, cozy interiors and deer grazing outside — stay in the midst of nature at Vulture’s View.
Only 30 mins away from Yosemite (about 1.5 hr from Glacier’s Point) this b&b is in the quaint town of Oakhurst with a reasonable mix of restaurants and cafes.
Must stay on your next Yosemite trip.

Proximity to Yosemite and our private porch view of the mountains are reasons enough to keep coming back here for more. Try getting the room with the hot tub.

Though I think they should change the name to Vulture’s View Inn, since the cereals, yogurt, fruit and milk they leave in the room, is not quite the breakfast one would expect at a bed and breakfast, it was still nice, and the place, and Judy’s tips are great. We really appreciated all of the homey touches, and the tips that really enhanced our experience, besides the view. We would definitely go back.

Felt just like home. I spoke with Judy only a day before coming and she made a little Valentines day décor for our room. She even adapted her Picnic lunch for our Vegetarian diet. We came down early 11am and she had our Picnic basket ready. Hot tub in room 1 was clutch after the long hike. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The only downside was hot water took a little while to turn on, but kept hot afterwards and hair dryer wasn’t great per my wife.

When you drive up the driveway, the first thing you see is an old red gas station garage/​barn covered in vintage signs. You can also expect to see a family of deer walking around the garden. Unfortunately the grounds are not as nice as I expected from the pictures on the website. The area around the driveway, garage, and parking area was very dry and it could use some water and landscaping. This is the kind of place you want to see a beautiful garden so you can sit outside and enjoy the warm weather and scenic views!
As far as our stay went, let me start out by saying that Judy, the owner, is a total sweetie. She greeted us with open arms and a big smile. She showed us to our room (room 1), which had a «private» porch, «private» hot tub, and a beautiful view. Then, she sat us down and explained to us the rules, which were plenty: Take a shower before using the hot tub, hair up in the hot tub, only use the green towels for the hot tub, don’t waste electricity, keep the noise to a minimum, don’t drink too much in the hot tub, don’t waste water, «quite time» starts at 9pm, etc… she said if any of the rules were broken, we would be charged extra. For $ 170 a night, we didn’t expect as many rules.
This was my boyfriend’s first visit to Yosemite so I wanted to stay someplace wonderful. Although Vulture’s View was nice and had an amazing view from the hot tub, it was not as wonderful as I had expected for the price.
The first night we enjoyed a beer and a delicious dinner at Yosemite Forks Mountain House Restaurant in Oakhurst. Yum! I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The next morning we got up at 4:30am and headed to Yosemite to hike Half Dome. Great time. We returned after dinner, around 8:30pm, a little surprised to find that our bed was not made and our towels were not replenished. Also, we were not given any additional food for the next day’s breakfast.
Pros:
* Friendly hosts
* Deer frequently roam the property
* the private outdoor jacuzzi w/​amazing view
* comfortable bed w/​nice sheets
* nice fireplace (although it was way too hot to use it)
* the room was stocked with fruit, mini-​cereal, coffee, a mini fridge, a microwave, etc.
* flat-​screen tv w/​cable & dvd player
* room was a cool temperature (providing a nice relief from the heat outside)
.
Cons:
* We had a non smoking room, but it smelled of cigarette smoke.
* Jacuzzi wasn’t that hot (and took a LONG time to heat up)
* the grounds could have been kept up a little bit better
* too many rules
* we left for the day and when we came back our bed was not made and towels were not replenished.
* dirty wine glasses :(
* although there was a coffee maker in the room, the coffee and cream were not good. (and I was really looking forward to a cup of coffee after waking up at 3:30am before hiking Half Dome)
* the alarm clock’s alarm was broken
Recommendations:
* Bring a bottle of wine to enjoy while watching the sunset in the hot tub
* Bring your own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
* Make sure to read the guest book (filled with many cute stories)
* Bring your own coffee and cream (and some food to stock your mini-​fridge)

Perfect for a romantic winter getaway!!! We booked Room 1 for Christmas. This is the best room out of the three because of the huge private outdoor hot tub. Judy, the owner greeted us and showed us around. There were many «green» details like eco-​friendly toiletries, a low flow shower (which was hot and wonderful) and cfl bulbs in the light fixtures. The property is beautiful, especially with a light dusting of snow. The room is spacious and very clean with a really comfy bed and a working fireplace (wood supplied). There are some great places to dine in Oakhurst, but I suggest bringing a bottle of wine to drink by the fire and keeping food in your in-​room refrigerator. Staying in your room is so relaxing! You may see a family of deer right outside your window! Make sure to read through the guest book. All of the guests who have stayed at the Vulture’s View have written gushing reviews of Judy and the property. I can’t wait to visit again!
