You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Newly Remodeled, Hot Tub, Fire Pit and Stunning Views, near Yosemite!

Ponderosa Pines Escape, a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat in the heart of Mariposa's breathtaking countryside. Surrounded by pine trees and nestled on a hillside, this 1500-square-foot cabin offers total privacy on its 1.7-acre property with a creek attached. Relax on the 270-degree deck and take in the stunning mountain views, or soak in the hot tub and watch the sunset.

Ponderosa Pines Escape is the perfect home base for exploring Yosemite National Park, with easy access to both the Arch Rock and South entrances. Enjoy hiking, bird watching, mountain biking, and more, then return to the cabin for a cozy evening by the fire pit or a game of ping pong.

Inside, the cabin features mid-century-inspired decor with clean, modern touches. The spacious living room has a 65" TV, and the dining room offers mountain views. With 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds, there's ample sleeping space for families, couples, or friends.

As our guest, you'll have full access to the entire property, including the fully equipped kitchen, living areas, and outdoor spaces. And don't forget about the friendly animals! Use the binoculars we provide to spot blue jays, hummingbirds, ravens, wild turkeys, and more.

For your convenience, we've provided a list of nearby attractions and activities. And if you need anything during your stay, we're available 24/7 through the VRBO app.

Please note that our home is pet-friendly, and we use a thorough cleaning process after each check-out to ensure the cleanliness of our property. Smoking is not allowed inside the home, and any evidence of smoking will result in odor removal and furniture cleaning fees.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house was clean and it was very private which worked out well for us. The only issue was that the washer and dryer were in the basement. Jazzy was excellent and a phone call away with answers to questions I had and always checking in to see if we were comfortable. I highly recommend this place.

The house had some issues like a cracked window and a leaky shower. I wouldn’t say it looked newly remodeled either. There was a lot of places with wear and tear. The host was very nice and responsive though and that was lovely.

Beautiful & Cozy Stay

This listing was absolutely amazing for our group of friends. It had the most stunning views and all the amenities we needed. The fire pit, hot tub and balcony were pluses that we were able to use and spend cozy nights in. The kitchen was great and there were enough blankets and pillows for every guest and to take outside. The hosts were responsive and messaged us back swiftly when we needed anything. The space was clean and we felt we had everything we needed. It was a little further from Yosemite which was anticipated but we just accounted for that within our hiking days. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend.

Unhappy

We are sending an email with photos of how poorly managed the property is. We were shocked to be delayed on check in and feel that the property is targeted by local sheriff as a party house. Please do a better job vetting and holding guests accountable.
