Tucked away on 300 acres of remote and off-grid wilderness, Kowana Valley invites visitors to a simpler but more mindful way of life. A true retreat to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

Developed over a span of almost 20 years, Kowana Valley is blessed with number of hiking trails, a year-round creek, multiple swimming holes, and even a limestone cave to explore. The property also offers a dance stage, a commercial kitchen, and an outdoor BBQ area. Kowana Valley is great as a stand-alone retreat or can be a convenient base-camp for excursions into Yosemite Valley and its surrounds like Diana Falls.

At Kowana Valley, we seek to offer a modern-day version of that hidden paradise—a place where guests can reconnect with nature and step away from the pressures of everyday life. Nestled in a remote, off-grid location, Kowana Valley invites visitors to enjoy the simple pleasures of life: walking on a dirt path, sharing a good meal, laughing with loved ones, and breathing in the fresh forest air.

"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." –John Muir
