during THE DAY
… there is a lot to do: whale watching, swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. Visit the village or ride the mules for a day trip into the jungle. You can arrange for a fishing trip, explore the coast and discover your own deserted beach…< … or just stay home, relax, spoil yourself at the spa, read, jump in the ocean, watch birds and enjoy the surrounding wonderful nature.

in YELAPA, the nearby village, there are no roads and no cars. Everything is done by boat, mule or foot. Yelapa is a small village with a few good restaurants, grocery stores, a lively beach and dancing at the “Yacht Club” Saturday nights.

A 3 HOUR flight takes you from L.A. to Puerto Vallarta. A quick drive gets you to Boca de Tomatlan – the last beach you can reach by car. From there it’s a 30 minute boat ride along the beautiful coast to Yelapa.

We will be waiting for you at the beach with our mules to take you and your luggage to our hillside location.

Welcome and have a wonderful time.

When making airline reservations, please remember in order to catch the last boat of the day to Verana or Yelapa, your flight should arrive in Puerto Vallarta no later than 3 or 4 p.m. Take a taxi from the airport to Boca de Tomatlan beach where you will find our boat or the regular water taxi to Yelapa for the 30 minute boat ride to Yelapa. If for any reason you cannot make the last boat we will be able to pick you up at Boca de Tomatlan the next day.

The trail to our property is about 8 minutes from the beach front, and you should be in fairly good health to do the walk up the hill.

Discover wild flowers that bloom throughout the spring and summer in hues of yellow, blue and white. And the lush green of the new meadow grass, that turns yellow then white, as the seasons change.

These meadows and wild flowers look almost too good to be true. But take it from us, they are.

Gentle streams run through the grass.

You never know what you’ll find.

Peace, tranquility.

Imagine Yosemite without the tourist buses and the crowds. The possibilities are endless – meadows, giant trees, lakes, and rivers. Welcome to the peace of the High Country

You can hike to lakes and swim in crystal clear water .. that in August is not even cold !

Just a few miles up the road you can see the famous Globe Rock – it looks as if it could fall at any moment, but centuries of weather, earthquakes and humans have not moved this rock

Many swimming holes are near by.. you will need to hike a little, but what a reward !

Don’t get lost ! After the left turn on Bass Lake you go a windy road up for about 14 miles. Make sure you pass the sumit. After that you go down again until you get to ‘Jones Store’ on the left. You pass it and you know you are going the right direction. A mile after Jones Store the road splits and you keep going on the left !!!!! From here on ( about 1.8 miles) there are no major options. keep going until you see our SIGN and right here you turn right into the dirt road. Another mile and you are at FAR MEADOW. Welcome.

Far Meadow in Winter. General Information. What to expect.

For the winter month, when our cabins can only be reached by snowmobile, we open Dec19 until April or May, depending on when the snow has melted and the road is open for regular access.

If you want to experience this unique location during those month you need to either own your own snowmobile or be competent to operate a snowmobile. This is mandatory since it will be the only way to get you out in case of an emergency.

It is  about a 8 miles snowmobile ride to get up to the cabins and depends on the snow level, can be more or less. We require that you meet our guide and caretaker no later than 12 Noon the day of your arrival in order to get you out there.

If you can’t make it at that time we recommend that you stay at our ‘Basecamp’ on Old Yosemite Road in Oakhurst the night before and meet our guide there.

As you can see in the snowmobile pictures, our guide will drive his snowmobile and will be able to bring your limited luggage and supply with his snowmobile while one in your party will be driving an additional 2 seater snowmobile (Polaris Trail Touring DLX).

The  snowmobile is included in our cabin rental rate and is mandatory for the duration of your stay. If you bring your own snowmobile we will adjust the rate.

While at the cabin you will have limited power supply (solar), a backup generator, internet access, skype (expect a fairly slow connection) and water. Water supply can vary and we cannot guaranty running water if weather conditions are too harsh.

We have been staying at the cabin without running water, so we melted the snow on the fireplace and used this water for washing, cleaning and the bathroom. There is plenty of wood available to burn in the fireplace and keep you comfortable warm.

Please remember that you need to have snowshoes to get anywhere. We do supply 2 pairs. There is drinking water available for you and the Log cabin kitchen is equipped with a propane stove, the A frame cabin with a smaller 2 burner cook top.

Overall, please accept that this remote location in winter is not for everybody. It can get a bit rough, you need to bring correct clothing and be ready to be ‘out there’ for the time being. Don’t forget your supply, it’s a long way to the next liquor store.

3 nights minimum

A Frame Cabin or Log Cabin : $350 per night, 2 guests,  including transportation by snowmobile to and from  the cabin ( about 10 miles one way) with our guide. Snowmobile will be on site in case of emergency during your stay.
