Getting there is half the fun. Accessible in winter only by snowmobile we got this fancy 2 seater to take us, all the supply and BouBou. Works perfect. The ride on the snowmobiles to the cabins is about  8 miles depending on the snow level.

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.

A 50% deposit is required and will secure the reservation. Payment in full is due 30 days prior to your check-in date. Non refundable if cancelled less than 30 days prior to arrival date.

A onetime fee of $60 for cleaning will be charged at the end of stay.

Pets additional $25 per night

The log cabin blends classic style with contemporary flair. We‘ve added a large deck outside for reading, napping, or contemplating the nearby river, trees and meadow.

Slow down the pace of your life. Time runs more slowly at Far Meadow.

Spend your nights around a camp fire, telling stories.

but corner windows bathe the interior in soft, romantic light.

Inside the cabin you’ll find a spacious room with a hardwood floor – and authentic wooden walls. There’s also a queen-size bed, a single bed and a sofa bed.

The real deal. The walls really are made out of logs, and shelves are stocked with books about the region.

It may be small, but the kitchen has been fully modernized and stocked with everything you’ll need when you arrive. But remember, you also have a BBQ outside. What would be a cabin without the BBQ ribs, links , potatoes and the almost ritual gathering around the fire pit.

Your own bathroom,  Shower, hot and cold water – of course.

And what log cabin would be complete without a wood-burning stove? At night, or in winter, keep warm around the crackling fire.

Cross the little bridge through the pine trees, and you’ll find yourself in the meadow.

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.

And natural abundance.

At the far side of the meadow are rock formations which are great for climbing on. And all around the cabin, there are trails and Indian sites to discover.
