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.

Beautiful house with stargazing
This house is half way between Mariposa and Oakhurst which was perfect. About 50 mins to the sequoia grove and a bit over an hour to Yosemite Valley. The house is beautiful and had all you need for a comfy stay. Lots of wildlife came to visit including deer, bunnies, birds, and more. There is a swimming pool to cool off in and mini horses to pet. Super close to Mariposa Coffee Co which had super coffee. The host is amazing and was highly communicative bc a fire started two days prior to our arrival and she wanted us to know we would be safe. We would love to come back and most definitely would stay here. Visit Mariposa as they have great restaurants and two museums. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Wonderful house for a relaxing stay
The house was the perfect size and layout for our family. The hot tub and game room were great. Was nice to have access to the pool but because of the location, we didn't use it that much. We visited Yosemite one day. There isn't much else around the house but if you just want a place to relax and unwind, this place was awesome. You might even get a visit from Eddie the cat who was a sweetheart.

The pictures do not do this house justice. Its such a nice home! This is our first time in the area and I was a little dissapointed that we couldn't find something closer to Yosemite....I was wrong. This house is one of the closest to Yosemite, its just the entrance to Yosemite is longer than I knew. Turned out to be a perfect location!!! The hottub and pool were amazing, and our boys fell in love with the ponies!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.
