It provides ample privacy and peacefulness with an unobstructed mountain view and a view of the daily sunrise. A short 5-minute drive takes you to Merced River, or if you keep going, you are at Yosemite within 25 minutes. What a perfect opportunity to connect with nature!
It features an open floor plan with a formal dining room, game area, movie room, and living area with picture windows that provide a holistic view of the picturesque mountains. You can use the day bed in the living area to lay down and relax, soaking in the Beauty of Nature or the view of the mountains, or just watch TV.

Amenities outside include a fire pit, grill, chairs, picnic table, and string lights.
We provide various fun activities/games such as air hockey, foosball, several board games, and some outdoor games such as corn-hole also available.
Due to its proximity to Yosemite National Park, wildlife, including deer, turkey, mountain lions, and bears, are known to inhabit the surrounding areas. While we don’t anticipate our guests to run into larger wildlife, please keep this in mind and always supervise children.
The home is on a hilltop and has a paved driveway with a slope. One thing to note is that we don't get a ton of snow, and it is rare, but during the winter, snow can sometimes require 4-wheel drive and chains to access the property, the town of Mariposa, and Yosemite.

Great home and stay! Very comfortable, well maintained, met all our needs, and the proximity to Yosemite and Mariposa made the entire experience very easy and enjoyable. The only difficulty is the driveway. An inexperienced driver may find it difficult and intimidating. All in all we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Yosemite and would stay there again.

Nice house back in a wooded area, very quiet and private. Hideaway is appropriate. Owner responded quickly to our questions. 35 minutes from Arch Rock entrance to Yosemite. Great access to Yosemite, Clean and comfortable, Mariposa is about 10 miles away. Lots of convenience with restaurants and grocers. Would recommend 1850 Restaurant & Brewery and Pioneer Market. We enjoyed our stay.
