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!!!!!

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.
