Luxurious Yosemite Mountain Home , Spa, Pool, Miniature Ponies! and Gameroom

Beautiful newly built family friendly home just a stone’s throw from Yosemite Valley! Designed from the ground up with all of your families’ needs in mind and nestled in a scenic meadow in Mariposa. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1800 square feet the house and an additional 800 square foot Game Room in the garage comfortably sleeps 8. The home is welcoming and was designed to be a great retreat, no matter what time of year you are visiting. The home is set on a beautiful piece of property, surrounded by native pines and yet still gets a lot of sunshine. There is plenty of room inside and outside to spend time relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends. The family room sofa is a great place to visit or watch a movie on the big 75 inch Samsung TV, the dining table offers a great place to share a meal or play a game and the bedrooms have fun mountain themed furnishings and comfortable beds. The large redwood deck offers a great place to soak up some sun, or warm up in front of the fire pit, or soak a sore body in the hot tub, or watch the beautiful star filled sky - or all of the above! The kids will love playing in the yard, as well as the large play structure (which has a 110 pound weight limit). We also offer an above ground pool which is open during the summer please NOTE that the pool is closed Sept 22nd through April 30th

Yes, there's ponies!!!!!

If you like spending time in nature with animals the owner has docile and friendly miniature ponies. That are just mere steps away from the house for you to enjoy a visit with.

This home offers a true oasis that will allow your family and friends to enjoy a magical retreat in the forest.



THE HOME -

Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Bunk Bed with Queen Bed on bottom and Full on Top | Bedroom 3: Bunk Bed with Queen Bed on Bottom and Full on Top | Additional pull out beds provide more sleeping options in the family room.

THE HOME AND EVERYTHING IN IT IS BRAND NEW: mattresses, beds, dishes, pots and pans, furniture, appliances. It comes with a fully stocked kitchen making it easy to prepare and enjoy meals with your family. When you are ready to dig into your meal, bring the feast to the 10-person dining table, or out to one of the several options for dining outside including a picnic table near the children’s play structure. There is a new gas grill on the deck right outside the kitchen for those fans of BBQing their meals.

Every bedroom has a smart TV, and there is high speed Wifi available throughout the home. The master bedroom is large with a king size bed, electric fireplace and a beautiful master bathroom with a big bathtub to soak all your worries away.

The family room has a large sectional sofa, 75” smart TV and an electric fireplace.

In addition to the outdoor fun, there are great toys for big and little kids inside the home, including a selection of board games, as well as a Game Room with shuffleboard, pool table, foosball and air hockey game.

Please note there are two Arlo security cameras that record both video and audio. One is outside above the front door looking out, and the other is outside above the garage looking out.

LOCATION -

This home is set on a private and peaceful lot with ab beautifully manicured yard and large rare lawn, in a beautiful valley just a scenic 55-minute drive to the entrance gate to Yosemite (without traffic). Perfect for you and your family have your own private oasis in the woods.

The Resort is 37 miles to the hwy 140 Arch rock entrance to Yosemite, and 33 miles to the south gate Highway 41 entrance I alway suggest to my guest when visiting the valley floor to use the Hwy 140 entrance. the lodge is also a 30 minutes to Bass Lake, which is renowned for excellent fishing, hiking trails and warm waters. Wake borders flock to Bass Lake throughout the spring and summer as do boater, water skiers, paddle boarders, wave runner enthusiasts and more. In the map section of this site under the heading 'What's Nearby', indicates the mileage distance from this house to those listed locations. However, the distances are measured 'As the Crow flies', not driving miles.

Although the lodge setting is quiet and remote, it is a mere 15 minute drive to downtown Mariposa, 20 minutes to Oakhurst and there is a local diner/convenience store/fuel stop less than 1 mile away.

Just a short drive from the home you will find a little country store where you can pick up essentials you may have forgotten to bring with you and a casual cafe where you can get a simple but tasty meal.

Visit the little town of Mariposa, found less than 14 miles from the home. Spend the day strolling the historic streets, where you'll find museums, art galleries, shops, restaurants, and more. Check the calendar before you go, you might be visiting during one of the many festivals held here throughout the year!

The host lives nearby and can be available to answer questions during your stay and if you are interested she would love to introduce your little ones to her miniature pony Buddy.

- ADDITIONAL DETAILS -

Beautiful house
This is one of the nicest VRBOs I've ever stayed at. This house has it all! It worked great as a home base for a visit to Yosemite and had plenty to do at the house where we didnt want to leave during the day.

Excellent basecamp for Yosemite
Second time staying here. Everything is as expected per description and pictures. The house is very comfortable and relaxing after a long day of hiking. A modern luxury house like this is a rare find near Yosemite. Excellent communication with the owner. Will absolutely be staying here again in the future.

Best house ever!!!!
This house was just remarkable! So close to everything, Yosemite was a dream. The house had so many fun amenities it kept the kids busy. Was so clean and cozy! The kids caught frogs in the back yard and the minature horses were so sweet. One of the nicest houses we stayed at, would stay here again in a second.

Loved the home!
We stayed here while exploring yosemite. It was a bit of a hike to yosemite (pun intended) but when we pulled in the driveway at the end of the day, everyone said "we love this house". The hot tub was awesome after a day of hiking and we loved having the game room for the family to hang out. The mini ponies were so cute and we were lucky enough to arrive just as as one of the horses on the property had a baby. We loved the area and little town and will definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area.

Perfect Home for Family with Teens
This was one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at. We loved the hot tub, game room pool, a well stocked kitchen, big porch with a grill, beautiful surroundings,bunk beds for the kids so that everyone had their own bed, and it was so quiet and private. We absolutely loved it!

Beautiful and comfortable house
We enjoyed our stay very much! The house is located in the countryside, and to the entry to Yosemite NP it is approx. 1:15 hrs driving, which is convenient and appropriate. We stayed two nights only, and could easily have enjoyed more time there. Beth has been very nice and attentive, a great and caring host.

Wonderful home and experience!
Loved our stay at this home. The owner, Beth, was so kind to be there when we arrived and see that we didn't need anything. The house is beautiful and well equipped. Our 2 year old loved the playground and the ponies. The adults especially loved the hot tub and the view of the stars at night! We spent 2 days in Yosemite and it was a little drive to get there. Wish we could have stayed an extra day at the property and just enjoyed the home!

A spotlessly clean lovely home with many amenities
We had a very nice stay at this property. It was conveniently located between Mariposa and Oakhurst which both have interesting shops, art venues and wine bars. The house was spotlessly clean and very well maintained. We enjoyed using the hot tub and fire pit at the end of the day. There is also an above ground pool, very large backyard and game room which we did not have time to use. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. It is approx a 1 hour drive to the South entrance to Yosemite. I highly recommend this property if you are planning a Yosemite trip if you don’t mind the 1 hour drive to the park.

Yosemite Family Vacation
Beth was an amazing host. From the moment we booked until we left (and even afterwards!) she made sure that we were prepared, comfortable, and enjoying ourselves. She gave great tips beforehand and while we were there to make our stay as California cool as possible. The home is immaculate, but cozy. It has all the amenities and then some to please teenagers and adults alike. We enjoyed every moment there!

As dreamy as it appears in the photos.
We surprised our kids with this place and they absolutely loved it. We had to drag them away because they were having such a good time. The pool & hot tub were really great features to have and the girls loved the miniature horses as well as the new baby horse they now have. The layout of the house was great and the kitchen was really nice to use for cooking. It’s not too far of a drive to Yosemite either. Last but not least, the beds were really comfortable. I would definitely stay here again if we are back in that area in the future.
