About this property

Villa Alta Vista at Yosemite- Mtn Views, Game Room, Pool Table, Deck, Sleeps 10+

Welcome to Villa Alta Vista — a stunning hillside retreat perched above historic Mariposa with sweeping views over Bootjack Valley, just 45 minutes from Yosemite National Park and 30 minutes from Bass Lake.

THE HOME

This fully-appointed 3-bedroom home sleeps up to 8 guests across two levels. The main level features a grand great room with panoramic valley views, an eat-in kitchen stocked for home cooking, and a master suite with king bed (sleeps 2) and private bathroom. A second main-level bedroom has a king bed (sleeps 2) with its own bathroom. Downstairs, the family bedroom features a queen bed plus a twin bunk bed (sleeps 4) and a full bathroom — perfect for families or larger groups.

THE GAME ROOM

The lower level is home to a dedicated game room stocked with a pool table, foosball table, and air hockey — perfect for rainy days or evening fun. A full laundry room is also on this level for longer stays.

THE DECK & OUTDOORS

Step outside to the spacious wraparound deck and take in sweeping views of Bootjack Valley and the surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills. The deck is ideal for morning coffee, evening dinners under the stars, and world-class stargazing away from city light pollution. The property's hillside setting means you're surrounded by oak trees and native wildlife — deer, wild turkeys, and the occasional black bear are regular visitors.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Johnson

Host profile image
We are Brian and Jennifer Johnson, both originally from the Central Valley of California. We have built our lives in Silicon Valley but have always felt pulled back to the mountains — which is exactly how Villa Alta Vista came into our lives.

Brian is a technology entrepreneur and builder at heart, and Jennifer has a gift for creating warm, welcoming spaces. Together, we poured that energy into Villa Alta Vista. We've stocked the home with everything a group needs to truly unwind: quality linens, a full kitchen, games for every age, and a deck made for watching the sun set over the Sierras.

As hosts, we respond quickly and genuinely care about your experience. We'll share our favorite local hikes, the best spots for a Yosemite sunrise, where to find the perfect farm-to-table dinner in Mariposa, and how to avoid the crowds. We want your stay to feel effortless — leave the logistics to us and focus on the memories.

Why they chose this property

We first discovered Mariposa while searching for a mountain escape from our Silicon Valley routines, and the moment we saw the view from Villa Alta Vista's hilltop perch, we knew this was it.

Mariposa sits at the gateway to Yosemite National Park — just 45 minutes from the Valley — with a peaceful, small-town character all its own. The historic downtown has California's oldest courthouse west of the Rockies, farm-to-table dining, local wineries, and boutique shops. Bass Lake is 30 minutes away for a lazy afternoon on the water, and the Merced River offers swimming holes that feel like a secret.

What we love most is the quiet. Cell signal here is limited (T-Mobile works best), and that's a feature, not a bug. Guests consistently tell us that Villa Alta Vista is where they finally unplugged — and that's exactly what we built it for.

What makes this property unique

The view stops you in your tracks — panoramic mountain vistas stretching over Bootjack Valley that you see the moment you step onto the upper deck. It's the kind of view you plan to look at for five minutes and end up staring at for an hour.

But Villa Alta Vista is more than scenery. The dedicated game room keeps groups entertained for hours: pool table, foosball, and classic arcade games. The expansive deck fits the whole group for an al fresco dinner or a night of stargazing. The kitchen is fully equipped for serious cooking, and we keep the essentials stocked so you don't have to plan every detail.

We sleep 10-12 across four bedrooms, making us genuinely ideal for family reunions, friend trips, and milestone celebrations. Groups tell us they chose Villa Alta Vista because it finally gave everyone a reason to put down their phones and actually be together — and that's the biggest compliment we could ask for.
