Located near Yosemite, I chose this B&B for it's proximity to the park & the promise of wifi, along with a reasonable rate. A Bed of Roses did not disappoint! As this was a weeknight stop on our California road trip, I still needed internet access for my job. We stayed in the Country Rose room, and while the bedroom was small, the bathroom was spacious, and this was all we needed for one night.We ended up stopping for dinner before arriving, which pushed back our check-in later than I had initially thought. The host was great with quick responses to my updates! We were advised on where to find our entry info & had no problems. Though it was only around 9pm when we arrived, we didn't see anyone that night. Our room was in the back, through the house with a separate entrance from the deck. Just outside of our door was a patio table with a couple of chairs; this is where I did my work that night, under the stars, and also the next morning. Internet was fine there & I enjoyed working outdoors in mid-May.The bedroom itself was small & rather stuffy, but we opened the windows because they had screens, and we were comfortable all night. My only gripe about our room was a lack of pillows, as we only had one for each of us. But, since it was late, I made zero effort to see if any extras were available in the main house.Our in-suite bathroom was huge & included a mini-fridge. The shower was in a ginormous garden tub with an awkward climb-in entry, but served its purpose. We had been provided plenty of towels, as well as a hair dryer.The next morning, we were able to better appreciate our surroundings. The deck was elevated & spanned the entire back of the house, with several seating areas in addition to the one outside of our room. Down the steps was a pool (though closed), and a small landscaped yard. We could see the mountains from the deck, and wildlife including wild turkeys ran through the yard.We also enjoyed a huge freshly-made breakfast that morning. I wish I remembered her name, but the cook was very friendly & helpful with local tips. The inside dining table was large, and we were able to meet some of the other guests while we dined on the spread of varied breakfast items.The location was indeed perfect for visiting Yosemite, but this area seemed to also offer a lot more to do & see outside of the park. Lack of time aside, our one-night stay at A Bed of Roses in mid-May 2022 was great, and I'd definitely stay here again.

Where should I start. Reservations are easy to do online and you will receive email close to your arrival finalizing everything including check-in process. Keyless entry for room. Telephone number provided to talk/text for questions or concerns. Bed and Breakfast is located off highway 41 at the top of hill. You will see the sign. Just warning at night pitch dark on highway 41 the street to turn on you may miss it.Check-in is 3 pm but we were able to check-in alittle after 2.It was extremely hot and dry in Yosemite this past wkend(Aug 19-22), 95-102 degrees. Why mention that because our room was a sauna especially when we check-in, 102 degrees outside. We arrived to Country Rose room with Window open and vent was off when we check-in. I immediately reached out to the host and they were good on replying immediately. That is when we discovered vent was off and I had to stand on the bed to open it. Country Rose room we were miserable during the day. It was extremely hot and we were glad after 4 pm room finally was cooling down . Room has a jacuzzi tub/shower. Do not recommend if you have hip/knee problems or plain clumsy like me. You need to sit on edge & pivot to get in/out. Bed is against the wall so with 2 people 1 has to slide off bed.We always bring our snacks, stop and got a sandwich for later and luckly we did. No social hour at this bed and breakfast. Next town is about 30 minutes from bed and breakfast. Nothing within walking distance. Breakfast is a pass. 1st day we tried and it was subpar. Made me have upset stomach. Egg casserole with green peas & carrots. Never had peas and carrots for breakfast & never will again. 2nd day was blueberry pancakes (from a box just add water & cook) english muffin (not toasted), frozen hash brown that looks like it was heated in toaster oven. No flow to the breakfast. Just seemed no thought process and placed on the table. Every breakfast is cut up fruit (banana, strawberries & raspberries) placed in a bowl that all guests serve themselves, yogurt & orange juice. Sorry but need a course on cooking breakfast & baking for bed and Breakfast inn.Caretaker sits with guest and has breakfast. We learned that this bed and breakfast has a new owners since April 2022.Caretaker lives in the house, she cooks breakfast and keeps place clean. She is friendly.Air conditioner is turned off at night. Spoke with another couple & they said their room was constantly freezing vs our room was extremely warm/uncomfortable during the day. The other couple said their room floor was uneven, a dip on the floor close to their bed in addition to wire hanging and fan in the window.We will not be returning. Dont recommend. House needs major update & is not ADA friendly.

If you are looking for an affordable stay, at the beginnings of Sequoia National Park, this an affordable option. The property is up a little ways from the 41, and offers a brilliant view of the surrounding mountainside. For our 2-night stay we were in the Country Rose room. It had a super soft bed, flat screen tv, faux fireplace heater, mini fridge, and jacuzzi tub. The grounds were well taken care of, and the staff very friendly and attentive to our needs. In the main building there is a seating area with options to fill your down time, via books or television. The hot breakfast was a great start to each of the mornings we were there. Eggs, hash browns, fruit, toast, and cold/hot beverage the first morning, then the same options with yogurt added, but a delicious cinnamon toast casserole, as the main dish, instead of eggs on the second day. For the price-point you cannot go wrong with a stay at this establishment.

I live in Fresno and go on writing retreats to Oakhurst every spring. A few years ago, looking for a more affordable option, I found Bed of Roses and have gone back every year since. It is not fancy and could definitely use some cosmetic updates, but it feels comfortable, like going to a friend's house rather than a luxury resort, which is all most hikers need. I always sit down for breakfast with people from all over the world, which makes up for the fact that the breakfast is served family style, so you don't get as much as in some B&B places where each guest is served an individual feast or even has access to a buffet--you feel like you need to share! For the last two years, I paid for the cheapest room and they upgraded me to the best room, which I really appreciate. The big jetted tubs are great. It is very quiet, so perfect for spending the whole day writing, since most guests are at Yosemite.

My wife and I have always wanted to stay at a B&B. This Valentine's Day we chose A Bed of Roses and WOW, it was the most romantic, genuine and gratifying weekend trip we have ever had. The owners, Mary Kay and Steve are incredibly sweet, and have mastered the art of being professional hosts and caring friends; a wonderful attitude that only years of travel, teaching and caring for others can create. I highly recommend everyone to stay at A Bed of Roses. Especially first time B&B guests.

For the third Christmas in a row my boyfriend and I chose this charming bed and breakfast. Aside from the cozy comfort and beautiful surroundings, the mother and daughter hostesses (Jo and Emma) make for an especially enjoyable visit. They are dedicated to making our stay comfortable and enjoyable and we look forward to seeing them at Christmastime. I would give them five golden stars for the breakfasts they prepare which was better than the meal we had on Christmas day at a very expensive venue. Additionally, the community-style breakfast table offers an opportunity to visit with people from around the world. This bed and breakfast is the perfect setting for writing and reading as it is peaceful, comfortable, full of charm and has lovely views. I encourage everyone who stays at Bed of Roses to tip well as Jo and Emma deserve it and I hope that the owners recognize their value in the form of a well-deserved, generous salary!Thank you Jo and Emma for everything!

Staying again for sure! This place is very easy to find off the main highway. The room views were amazing in mid-fall. Parking was convenient and the heater and light was left on for us when we notified Mary Kay we would be arriving very early morning. We were in Red Rose room. I think it's better then the pictures. It had a comfortable bed with plenty of extra blankets if needed. There was also a coffee bar in the room that was perfect. It had reusable and disposablecups, coffees,teas, cream/sugar. The room also had a mini fridge. The large porch was amazing for sitting and soaking in sun. The jetted tub was clean and roomy like the standing shower. A small electric candle was already there. Wine glasses and a bottle opener as well. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash was provided. I'd say use there's and save on packing it was of recognizable good quality brand. Breakfast both mornings was delicious eggs, hash browns, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, orange juice one day, then the main course was switch for blueberry pancakes the next. Again the owners went out of their way to make our stay great when I was able to bring my husband a tray to the room after I explained he would not make it in to breakfast because he needed to rest. It was them who offered to take it to go. The grounds are gorgeous just big enough for a tiny stroll and small enough to feel cozy and not overwhelming. Did I say amazing views of the mountains everywhere!!!! We went into town, a quick drive back the way you came, for dinner. Everyone we met was friendly and inviting. The only friendly advice I'd give is avoid if you have tons of trouble with stairs, otherwise it's 100% a relaxing, quiet and comfortable place to get away to. This B & B has 4 rooms. It would be perfect for a couples mini retreat or even a mother/daughter, sister's getaway weekend trip, anytime really. It makes sense that children under 5 aren't allowed the grounds are hilly, save yourself the stress parents go relax without the kids :D

It has been such a pleasure staying at the bed and breakfast! The owners were so welcoming and kind. The room was clean and tidy as well as the bathroom! Me and my boyfriends favorite part was probably the bathtub with the jets! We got breakfast each morning and let me tell you breakfast was delicious! Our room was the country rose and we had a small balcony with a table and two chairs and there sweet kitty visited us when we sat out there! This is a wonderful place to stay, I definitely recommend to anyone for there stay!

We loved our stay at Bed of roses B&B. Location is perfect close to everything in oakhurst, and just 10 miles from the entry to Yosemite. Close to yarts busses for access to Yosemite too. Room was spacious, clean and cozy, great to relax after a days hike. Location is peaceful and serene, pool onsite for a nice dip too! The hosts are wonderful and the breakfast is delicious (I even got the recipe for French toast) it was that good! Would highly recommend for couples or families as a perfect place to retreat after spending the day discovering Yosemite or Bass lake!

My husband and I stayed here this past weekend on our anniversary trip. Fantastic! First off, the location couldn't be more perfect. It's right in between Bass Lake and Yosemite, with about a 10 minute drive to each place. We stayed in the Red Rose room, which had a private deck and a spa tub. It was beautiful inside and the views from the deck were amazing. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The owners Steve and Mary Kay were as nice and as welcoming as can be. They provided a very yummy breakfast and gave us tips and advice on what to see at Yosemite. They told my husband and I that we are part of the family now and we truly felt it :)
