This home is a modern haven that provides outdoor enthusiasts, people seeking inspiration in a getaway, and folks wanting to escape to a place to relax in luxury, with modern amenities. All of this, while keeping the essence of being near one of the world's most beautiful forces of nature, in Yosemite National Park.
Hilltop Retreat is ideal for up to 6 people, with 4 very comfortable beds, perfect for an amazing and restful night, after a day of being at Yosemite.
The home also features a stunning view, and resort-like patio with a new pool (built in 2023) and a top of the line, Marquis hot tub, that comfortably fits 6 people for a rejuvinating experience.
In addition, in January 2025, the kitchen was completely remodeled to a gourmet, chef's kitchen, with wood shelving, led lighting, a new chef's stove and hood, and the space was opened up to provide an opportunity to take in the views from the kitchen and dining area!
The home is also family friendly with a high chair and pack n' play for the little ones, and lots of board games (including our favorite, giant Jenga!)
Hilltop Retreat is also in the charming town of Mariposa, with cute restaurants and independant shops just 14 minutes away.
So you get the feeling of escaping your daily worries, while also being near a special, gold rush California town!
