The Retreat 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 Retreat 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. Yosemite Pines Retreat in the Woods is truly a slice of heaven that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for your next adventure after your stay.

We loved the place. It was very clean and neat. The beds are the best, comfortable. The only negative was the hot tub never got hot enough.
5.0
This is a beautiful home, that came with absolutely everything we needed, plus the large hot tub was amazing after hiking all day in Yosemite. The property was super clean and my friends even saw a family of dear walk by! The entrance to the south and arch rock entrance of Yosemite are relatively close and easy to access from the home.
5.0
This property gave my family what we need. A hidden quiet relaxing stay. Having to relax in a hot tub while watching the stars is a plus. Only regret we have is not have a full day at the house since we’ve been hiking in Yosemite the whole time. Beth even gave us a welcome treat. We would come back and stay.

Great place and location, everything there to enjoy like absolute luxury. Nice to meet the home owner on site. Many thanks!

This is definitely one of the very best vacation homes we've stayed at. The home is tastefully appointed throughout... and didn't lack for anything. Even so, the best part was the exterior decks and the beautiful views. Beth, our host, personally greeted us upon arrival which we found quite welcoming.

I stayed here with my wife, my dad, my stepmom, and my middle brother for a Yosemite trip. It is conveniently located about 15 minutes from downtown Mariposa and an hour from the center of the park.
Beth wad awesome! She made sire we had everything we needed for our stay, and even chatted with us while we were in the pool.
The bedrooms wre clean, AC worked great (hottest days of the year when we stayed) and was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be making this my go-to spot for 3 bedrooms when going to Yosemite.
Say hi to Beth for me! She was great, attentive, and courteous. She was easy to contact and very attentive when the power went out while we were in the park (affected our stay 0).
I highly recommend this property and this host!

We stayed for 3 days and went to Yosemite. From the house to the Valley Visitor Center was about an hour and a half. To Mariposa Grove was about an hour. Beth met us the first day we arrive and provided us with tips and advice on what to do in Yosemite. She was great and the advice was as well. The hot tub was nice to come back to after a long day of hiking. The house was clean and the whole family slept great (all the beds were super comfortable). We would come here again in a heartbeat.

Great property, my son is six and loved the hot tub and camp fire. It is quite far from Yosemite, took us nearly two hours every day to get to the Valley. That was the only downfall, everything else was great.
5.0
Spacious, stocked with kitchen essentials, and comfortable beds. Hot tub and pool were great for cooling off snd relaxing at the end of a long day of hiking. Fire pit on deck was perfect for night chilling.

Pictures don't make justice on how beautiful the house and scenery are.
The house is clean and very spacious, and has everything you need form a good barbecue to a good night rest.
Overall our stay was AMAZING and we can't wait to go back.
Beth is such a great host, very responsive, makes everything easy for you to enjoy the place.
Thank you Beth for everything!

This is a really cute and fully equipped place for a family to stay. It is super clean, has everything you need and want and Beth is fantastic with her communication and responsiveness.
The only thing to be aware is that it is at least a 45mins to an hour plus drive to the Yosemite National Park. But Mariposa is a cute little town and you definitely get some quiet family fun time!
Highly recommend staying here.
Sid and family.

A beautiful place to stay that is a short drive into Yosemite. Beth was an amazing host that was welcoming and helpful. This was the perfect getaway to enjoy the peace of the great outdoors. So much to do to keep the kids busy. Would definitely stay again. ☺️

We had what seemed to be many challenges before arriving with all the storms happening in the area. I was checking with Caltrans to see if roads were open and where we couldn't travel. Bev went above and beyond in her searches for the same information, keeping us updated as to what roads were clear. We got into the car with trust in her connections and current updates and arrived with no problems at all.
The house was welcoming and well set up. Our family arrived and we all had plenty of room. The grill got used as did the hot tub. What a wonderful stay we had.
Bev was gracious and accomodating in all we might have needed. We now have a new vacation friend.
What will the new foal look like? We will have to wait to hear.
Our stay couldn't have been any better. Would I recommend a stay on Bev's property? Absolutely!
Thanks Bev.

We had a great stay at Beth's property, even in the crazy weather California is having right now. It was the perfect set-up for two couples with babies to have a relaxing weekend reunion: well-equipped kitchen, well-heated, perfectly clean, a great hot tub, and the property manager was great to work with. Although Yosemite was closed, we still had a nice vacation in the mountains because the property location itself is very nice. Although there had been flood warnings in Mariposa, the property did not have any flooding issues. Some parts of Triangle Road have water runoff, but it wasn't an obstacle to getting there.

The host Beth was amazing! She showed us the property and gave us a couple of great places to eat in town. Tucked in its own little neighborhood it felt totally remote and inclusive in the mountains. The perfect get away. From hanging out in the spa to waking up to the rising Sun while cooking breakfast it was an amazing get away.
Thank you again Beth and I would recommend this place to anyone!

Beth is a FANTASTIC host and the house is absolutely beautiful. So incredibly clean with gorgeous fixtures and super comfortable beds/couches. 40 minutes from the south or rock gate of Yosemite meant that we were able to drive down to the South Gate then through the whole park to the west gate and back to the house. It was absolutely perfect!
We stayed in winter and it was a lovely, cozy base for exploring the snowy Yosemite valley. FYI you can’t use the wood stove in the photos, but you won’t feel the need to as the central heating is extremely good. The fire pit on the porch and the hot tub are a great touch and got used every night. Thank you Beth for the excellent stay!

This house is more than I expected. I don’t think a single detail was overlooked. The host is very accommodating. The beds were comfortable, pillows were perfect, kitchen had everything we needed. The only bad thing was that we didn’t stay longer! I would recommend to family and friends and will be returning!

This property was very clean and comfortable. We were gone exploring most days so we weren’t there a whole lot, but it was a restful place to come back to after a long day. I enjoyed the front deck a couple of mornings. Would’ve loved to have spent more mornings and evenings out there. You can tell Beth works hard to take care of the property. Would definitely stay again if I’m the area.

We loved everything about this place, the ponies, the porch cat Eddy, the hot tub, pool, playground, firepit, bunk beds, it had it all!! A few ants in the kitchen area were not ideal with a baby crawling around but definitely did not hinder our stay! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!! Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful place!

I enjoyed staying at Beths property! I came up for a short trip to hike Half dome and I was able to knock it off my bucket list!
This lodging is about an hour and 10 min from Yosemite . And about 20-30 min from Oakhurst which is where we went to get groceries and food. Beth greeted us when we arrived and she was very accommodating and welcoming ! I highly recommend this location!
5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer! Beth was an outstanding host…she communicated about the need to obtain passes to Yosemite ahead of time, about the status of the fires near their location when we were scheduled to travel, and about our arrival so she could personally welcome us. Anything we needed, she was available to help! The home had many of the amenities we were looking for and additional fun…AC, WiFi and a pool were a must for our group and this house had them all, with access to a private pool at that. The kitchen and bathrooms have all been updated and the furnishings are very comfortable. The highlight were the PONIES and helped make this stay an experience itself. We would highly recommend this property for a family vacation and/or as a home base for fun in Yosemite!
5.0
What a beautiful property! The kids loved the pool, fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and the big backyard. We enjoyed daily visits from Eddie the Cat. They thought of everything even down to a bag of ice in the freezer. So nice to relax and recharge after our daily Yosemite visits! Thanks for a wonderful family vacation filled with memories!

Excellent Host and Experience
Beth was an amazing host. She greeted us personally and let us know all about the property and the animals on site (which were adorable)! She also let us know about the best way to access Yosemite. Our stay was short but we took advantage of as much as we could - playing with the animals, swimming in the pool and lounging on the porch (we were looking forward to the hot tub, but the July weather was too hot during our stay). The accommodations were as shown in the pictures and included everything we needed. It was a a bit of a drive to Yosemite park, but unless you stay in the park itself, you can't do better than Beth's place. Plenty of room for our party to spread out, lots of amenities (miniature ponies!), great price, and an excellent host. If you are looking for a nice relaxing place outside of town, this place should be on your list. We would definitely stay here again.

Home Away From Home
Beth, the owner, has made us feel at home for the 2nd time! We visited 3 yrs ago. Loved it then & love it now. She helped us even before we arrived. We weren't aware that the Yosemite Reservation system was in place. She emailed me months beforehand to advise us of all the details. This saved us from almost missing Yosemite.
In addition, the home has been remodeled/updated since we last stayed. It's even more convenient and beautiful than before. The Smores welcome kit is still here & we loved it. The animals on property were available to do a small walk and petting with which made our kids & whole family very happy. Beth & her daughter brought the 2 ponies to the house. We enjoyed talking with them. Beth & her daughter are so friendly. Eddie, the cat, is even more friendly than ever. And he felt like our pet with how loveable he is.
This home is so comfy. It is well divided too so privacy is maintained. Grill, jacuzzi & ping pong table are a plus. Modern kitchen with island and adjacent dining area were beautiful.
We will definitely be back!
