Coulterville, California
Escape into the wilderness at our 300 acres homestead located in the Sierra foothills outside of Yosemite National Park.
Developed over a span of almost 20 years, Kowana Valley has miles of maintained hiking trails, a year-round creek, multiple swimming holes, and even a limestone cave to explore.
Kowana Valley is great as a stand-alone retreat or can be a convenient base-camp for excursions into Yosemite Valley and its surrounds.
You will stay at our 2,700 sqf lodge with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, 1 study, a fully stocked kitchen, a fire pit area, a bbq grill, and a rec room with ping pong table.
Custom-designed to operate in the middle of the Stanislaus National Forest without utilities service, the Kowana Valley Lodge operates on a 100% off-grid system but functions with the convenience and familiarity of a home in the city.

We had a terrific quiet vacation in this beautiful vast property. Great trails to go for a hike with my dogs. I would love to go back. Beautiful views.
Just had an amazing off-grid experience at this property! The secluded location offered a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. The sustainable features and eco-friendly design added a unique touch. The serene surroundings and lack of modern distractions allowed me to truly connect with nature. A perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful getaway off the grid.
My Family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and scenic lodge. I would totally recommend visiting Yosemite while you stay. Besides that the cabin is very cleaned and spacious for a family. The Owner was super friendly and super fast to reply to my questions or concerns.
Beautiful ranch, beautiful drive in, very quiet in the woods---the only sound was from the nearby stream. Bring bug spray!
Wow! I've tried to think of better words to describe this vacation property but I'm nearly speechless at it's utter perfection. My Husband and our 2 labradors had the time of our lives during our stay and are already planning our next trip. From staring at the beautiful views during morning coffee, enjoying ourselves on multiple daily hikes through the meadows, to our labradors favorite part, the daily swims in the river, our stay was nothing less than serene, secluded perfection. The house had everything needed and we found ourselves barely dipping into the solar battery reserves. Edmund was a much gracious host, answering all of our texts regarding where to hike. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience your beautiful rental and hopefully will see you again soon.
This place is great, very clean and just our family was looking for. A bit off grid the house is solar powered with batteries but they work perfect. Amazing views and definitely a good way to reset and close enough to Yosemite
We loved staying at Kowana Valley. The creek was beautiful and the kids and dogs loved hiking and seeing tiny trout, California quail, blackbirds, a jackrabbit, and beautiful native flowers and trees. The house was great. Comfortable living space, nicely stocked kitchen, and awesome outdoor space for birdwatching and just relaxing. We can’t wait to go back.
Perfect place to unplug and hang out with family. The kids loved the ping pong table and the adults loved sitting on the deck and listening to the creek.
Beautiful property. Ideally located near Yosemite. We stayed here right after Christmas and got a bunch of snow. The kids loved it. We plan on making this an annual trip.
Property is deep in nature, completely off grid but with all facilities you can think of. The host Edmund was very gracious and helpful.
