The Getaway
A fully equipped base in Midpines, close to California's backcountry
A bed & breakfast in Midpines
The Getaway is a bed & breakfast in Midpines, California, suited to travellers who want more than a bare room. Each space comes with a full kitchen — stovetop, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and the usual kit — so self-catering is genuinely practical rather than an afterthought. Guests have access to free on-site parking, balconies, and family rooms, which makes this a workable option for groups or longer stays. The 4.8/5 guest rating across 29 reviews suggests it consistently delivers on its straightforward premise.
Who this stay suits
A well-equipped, self-catering bed & breakfast in Midpines with full kitchens, free parking, and family-friendly rooms.
Best for
- Self-catering travellers
- Families needing space
- Longer California stays
- Guests with cars
Less suited to
- Those wanting hotel-style daily services
- Travellers without a car
Rooms with real kitchens
These are not token kitchenettes. Each room includes a stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator, electric kettle, coffee machine, and kitchenware. Guests can cook full meals and do laundry on-site, which changes the calculus for stays of more than a night or two.
Balconies and views
Rooms come with balconies and a view. In Midpines, positioned between the Central Valley and Yosemite's western approach, that means Sierra Nevada foothills rather than a city skyline. A seating area and sofa inside mean there is somewhere to settle when you are not outside.
Living area setup
Beyond the kitchen, rooms include a dining area, sofa, seating area, desk, fireplace, and flat-screen TV. The layout is closer to a furnished apartment than a standard B&B room, which suits guests planning to base themselves here for several days.
