Above the fog and below the snow in Groveland, Tuolumne County, you’ll find the All Seasons Groveland Inn, a restored Victorian property that sits at the right elevation to catch clear skies when the surrounding mountains are socked in. The building dates back to the Simmons home era and was carefully restored in 1999, preserving its character while updating it for modern comfort.
The rooms are individually decorated with attention to detail that actually matters—thoughtful touches that make the space feel livable rather than staged. You get a sense that someone cared about the experience of waking up here and spending time in the rooms, not just passing through.
What makes this place genuinely useful for traveling with your dog is their straightforward welcome to pets. Unlike places that grudgingly allow dogs or charge surprising fees, the All Seasons treats dogs as regular guests. The inn understands that people traveling to Groveland—whether heading to Yosemite’s eastern entrance, exploring Gold Country history, or accessing hiking in the area—often want their dogs with them, and they’ve built their accommodations around that reality.
Groveland itself sits at about 3,800 feet elevation, making it a good base for exploring the Sierra Nevada foothills. The town has that genuine old Gold Rush character without feeling overly touristy, and you’re positioned between the lower elevation Gold Country towns and the higher peaks. The inn’s location in Groveland means you’re roughly 45 minutes from Yosemite’s Hetch Hetchy entrance and closer to some excellent hiking that doesn’t require the Yosemite entry fee.
The All Seasons Groveland Inn has a website where you can see the rooms and book directly, which often gives you better information about current pet policies and any seasonal considerations for the specific times you’re planning to visit.
