About this property
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.
We ask that you treat our home as your own and refrain from hosting any parties or events. Please inform the owner or property manager if you have any unregistered visitors. Events or large gatherings on the property without prior written approval are not permitted.
Our home features a strict cancellation policy and individual $500 fee for breaking any of the house rules. Please note that our property is in the greater Yosemite area, which is considered a high-risk fire area, all year round, and is not protected under AirBnB's extenuating circumstance policy. With this in mind, we recommend purchasing separate travel insurance.

About the host
Hosted by Jazzy and David Samuelson
My name is Jazzy and I am originally from Thailand. I currently live in Mariposa, CA with my husband and two young boys.

As an owner, I strive to provide the best experience for my guests and ensure they have a memorable stay.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with the Ponderosa Basin and the surrounding area of Yosemite National Park many years ago, and I knew I wanted to have a piece of it for myself. The location of Ponderosa Pines Escape is truly special- nestled in the pine trees and with easy access to the park. The views from the deck and hot tub are truly breathtaking and I knew I wanted to share that experience with others. The property itself is a stunning mid-century modern mountain retreat, and I knew it would be the perfect place for families, couples, and friends to come and relax, unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. The property was passed down through the generations and it was an opportunity for me to keep it in the family and offer it to visitors from all over the world. The area is full of adventures and it is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and the natural beauty of the mountains. The property is one of a kind and I am excited to welcome guests to experience the magic of Ponderosa Pines Escape for themselves.
