The namesake for this retreat three miles west of Coulterville is an old forest fire lookout station, which you can hike to atop a nearby peak. This inn sits on a 200-acre working ranch where John Muir reportedly once herded sheep (one of the suites bears his name) and is a short drive from Yosemite National Park. Good for couples who want to go horseback riding or rappelling to a cave where Joaquin Murrieta supposedly once hid out. Getaway package for two starts at $139 per night (with two-night stay).
