About this property

Luxury home inside Yosemite gates and only minutes from valley floor

Carved plaques with antlers from Austria decorate the high walls and antlered chandeliers hang from the vaulted ceilings. The spacious Yosemite Copper Bear Lodge has cathedral-like windows for views of the forest and distant mountains. The interior space has plenty of comfortable lounge areas in plush leather furniture facing large picture windows. Small mountain creeks babble and meander by the outside decks. Rocking chairs line the deck for resting your feet and enjoying a serene evening after a long day of hiking in the high country or leisurely wandering around the valley floor. The deck also has a 4-burner Blackstone griddle for enjoying outdoor cooking. The great room has a large stone fireplace. A 42-inch flat screen television and blu-ray are available for watching a movie. The dream kitchen is fully equipped for creating your favorite meals. The dining table can seat approximately ten. The open floor plan and large dining table are ideal for spending quality family time. Phone for unlimited local calls. The decor is warm and inviting, and really encourages communal gathering. The home is surrounded by dogwoods, wild azaleas, maples, large white firs, pine, and cedar. The home has two queen beds, two twin beds, and two bunk beds (one with trundle). There is a pool table, mini arcade, game table, and board games in the loft. The loft has leather high-back chairs for reading. There are trails close to the house for hiking. In case there is a power outage in the Park, the house now has an emergency generator that will automatically start to provide power for you and your family. The lodge is perfectly situated within the park gates in a quiet cul-de-sac and away from the park crowds. From the house, you can reach the valley or Glacier Point or Mariposa Grove in about 25 - 30 minutes. You will love returning at the end of a day of hiking or other outdoor activity to this beautiful property which is tucked away inside the Park. .
