About this house rental

Nestled in Sierra Nevada, this charming house for $235 per night is a great choice for your next break. California has cowboys, beaches and surfing, skiing, hiking and shopping all rolled into one beautiful state. Seeing Yosemite when you vacation in California is a must. For this vacation, expand your mind and enjoy a true California experience by staying in a straw bale home. Unlike those of big bad wolf fame, modern straw bale homes are warm and comfortable. They provide a unique place to rest your soul (and feet) after a day of discovering Yosemite. Our newly constructed Yosemite Straw Bale vacation home is a wonder. While the straw bales provide incredible R-50 insulation, we are using passive solar heating for preheating our radiant floor heating system with an instantaneous hot water heater as a backup system. Our photovoltaic grid panels are naturally creating clean energy from the sun. We tested these techniques on our own home and perfected them in this vacation rental for your enjoyment. Made to feel like your private second home, design touches include a social kitchen with a granite slab bar height counter, finished dyed concrete floors, and cozy radiant floor heating. Sitting hilltop at 3000 feet elevation (914m), the house includes a private deck perfect for relaxing and enjoying the views. We are also honored to share with you, eight fine art prints by renowned Sierra photographer Howard Weamer. The gates of Yosemite are a mere 35 minutes away* on a drive that follows the wild and scenic Merced River. (*Your drive may take longer as you stop to put your feet in the river or photograph the wildflowers along the way.) Check out our profile below, and look at the calendar for booking availability. Call or email to hear more and make arrangements. We look forward to hearing from you. Keywords: Straw Bale, Home, Yosemite, Yosemite Area, Mariposa , Midpines, Hilltop

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Straw Bale house! We were amazed to see that it truly is a straw bale home, so cool! The communication the owners provide is fantastic! Quick to answer any question. The location is great to either head into the Arch Rock Entrance or drive south to the Maiposa Grove entrance to see the Sequioa’s.

We stayed here for three nights while visiting Yosemite, and we couldn't have picked a better place. The cleanliness was top notch, and the location was beautiful, quiet, and serene. There was a storm caused by a very rare hurricane, and Alex stopped by to make sure that we had everything needed for the unusual weather. The storm gave us time to enjoy the many books provided around the home. The location was perfect for driving to both Yosemite and the nearby town of Mariposa. We loved our stay!
