About this property

Beautiful Creekside Home in Mariposa Pines Close to Yosemite. No cleaning fee.

All inclusive. No cleaning fee. Built in 1998 this modern 1600 sq. ft. ranch style home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our home has a beautiful large kitchen completely stocked for cooking needs. The living room and dining area are large and open with lovely and comfortable furnishings. There is a large laundry room available for our guests. You step out the front door and are surrounded by trees over one hundred years old, huge granite rocks and a seasonal creek right in front of the house. Early risers can enjoy that first cup of morning coffee with a leisurely walk or sitting under the trees enjoying the quiet and fresh air. Yosemite is approx. a one hour drive (38 miles) along the Merced River which meanders through canyons into the park. For advanced hikers our home is two miles from one of the most beautiful hikes in Mariposa. Search: Hite Cove trail for details. Mountain biking is also right out our door! We are located on the trail head of the forest service fire roads that span over 40 miles of amazing riding with views of the back country of Yosemite including a view of El Capitan seven miles from our house. Historical downtown Mariposa is 20 minutes away with gold mining and rock museums, shopping, restaurants and antique stores. You can pick up the YARTS bus into the park in several locations in town. Bus fare includes admission into the park. Chuckchansi Casino is 45 minutes away with live shows and several restaurants. Bass Lake is 45 minutes away with boating, jet skiing, fishing and swimming. Zephyr white water river rafting is 20 minutes away. Creekside Retreat is supplied with a Tesla Powerwall battery backup system for the house in case of power outages. It will power 5 circuits in the house for 6-8 hours.


Keywords: See our reviews by past guests who have loved our home away from home. A comment we constantly get from guests is how cool, lush and heavily wooded our area is compared to the lower elevations in Mariposa. One of our guests little girl described our property as being like 'Narnia'. Surrounded by oaks, pines and a seasonal creek. There are frequently deer and wild turkeys strolling around the property. Our home is also available for exchange in Europe and the U.S.

We had a wonderful stay at this Creekside Home. It was quiet, clean, and spacious. The ride to the Arch Rock Entrance was an hour, but it is a beautiful drive along the river and provided time for our young adult children to get another bit of sleep before some long days exploring the park. The kitchen was very well-appointed and we appreciated the touches like paper plates and storage containers to use for packing picnics in the park. The bathrooms and showers were updated and provided shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap which was nice. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We would highly recommend staying here!

Great place for 2 couples

Older adults visiting Yosemite. This is abit off the beaten path and an hour or so to get to the Yosemite gates, but the area itself is pretty remote so there are not a lot of closer choices. The house is well stocked, clean and was perfect for us.

Nice stay in Mariposa

The Creekside Home in Mariposa was a great place to stay. It’s a bit of a drive to town (20 minutes), but worth it. A clean, comfortable house that had everything we needled. Unfortunately we were visiting Yosemite both days we were there so didn’t spend much time at the house, but the time we did spend there was comfortable.

Great Family Vacation Spot

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The home was immaculate and well outfitted. Our grandchildren enjoyed exploring the area and the proximity to Yosemite (about an hour from the valley) was a bonus. We will definately be returning.

Great Rental House

This was a great rental house, filled with interesting artwork. It was spacious, and had very comfortable beds and plenty of room for our family of 4. We loved the remote location for stargazing. The only real downside was the long drive to Yosemite - about an hour to both the south and arch rock gates.

Great respite in the woods

My friends and I traveled here, as likely most do, to visit and experience Yosemite. While this particular property isn’t quite as ideally located as we’d hoped, it turned out to be a welcome retreat. The place was clean, and had all the necessary amenities to rest between explorations. The host was very kind to afford us early check in and had great communication and information regarding the park. Hope to visit again!

Relaxing and Complete

The Creekside retreat greatly exceeded our expectations and provided a very comfortable stay while being in a beautiful location near to both Mariposa and Yosemite. The house included all amenities and provided both relaxation and peace during our adventure. We would request another stay and recommend to both friends and family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your retreat on our journey. Much appreciated.

Great place for groups

Great property for a group, cozy with a gas fireplace and fully equipped with everything you need for your home away from home, including Tupperware. Only downside is its distance from the Yosemite National Park entrance but that's just me. But it was lovely to come back to a cozy home after a full day of exploring Yosemite.

What a wonderful home!

My brother and his family came to California to see me for the first time in the 21 years I’ve lived here, so I’m playing tour guide for a couple weeks to show all the best this state has to offer! Our stay at Creekside was perfect! It’s a beautiful home, in a nice little mountain community, and not too far from the entrance to Yosemite on HWY 140. My brother exclaimed “I just LOVE this house” more than once during our stay! Thank you so much for your part in providing an unforgettable experience for my family!

Great Escape - Close to Yosemite

Spent the weekend in this lovely place. Visited Yosemite with my siblings for our annual trip. We hiked Half Dome - traffic wasn't bad getting to and from the park (~60m). Home was really cozy - great amenities and enough room for everyone. Host was very communicative and had great reminders in the house (no coffee grounds down the drain) and other reminders to ensure we kept their home to their standards. Will definitely be back again!

Cozy mountain home

Myself, my husband and our two college age sons stayed for two nights (we would have like to stayed for more but that's all we could fit it). We have stayed in many vacation rentals. This house was great because it was clean, it was well stocked, it was comfortable. We did not cook but we often do and the kitchen had lots pots pans, knives, cutting boards and more so that preparing meals would not have been a problem. We did go to Yosemite one day. It was about a 90 minute drive.

About the host

Hosted by Eileen Blankenhorn

Host profile image
We have loved our home in the mountains since 2003 with many family and friend gatherings. Living in a large city, it is nice to escape to an area where people do not even lock their doors.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located at a 4,000 ft. elevation rich in forest life, cool summers and beauty unlike the lower elevations in Mariposa. We bought in this area because of the extreme beauty of the surroundings and accessibility to hiking and bike trails. We have filled our home with art and decor from our wonderful travels.

What makes this property unique

Located in a serene, quiet neighborhood, beautiful wooded property and excellent roads!
