This property is perfect for families or groups to get away to relax and explore. It is a custom hilltop home on 7 park-like acres with incredible views into the Sierras. Each bedroom is appointed with a queen bed and deck access. You'll enjoy the private "country" setting and the proximity to the several Gold Rush towns of the Mariposa area. Just over an hour through our "Wild and Scenic" Merced River Canyon is Yosemite National Park. Our home is a great place to make memories, and a local professional photographer is available to capture them.

Inside you'll find tile and hardwood floors throughout. The guest bath includes a large jetted bathtub, while the master bath has a double shower heads and a sitting area. A 50 inch flat screen TV and a cozy wood stove are located in the conversation area. The wood for the stove is always fully stocked for a cold winter’s night.
The sitting room/library offers a peaceful place to read, relax on the soft couch or set outside the door onto the balcony for beautiful views. The library offers a a wide variety of adult and children's books.
For the more active, there's a pool, Jacuzzi, basketball court and an unconditioned game room separate from the house.
In the game room, there is a slate-top pool table, darts, and dice at the bar, as well as plenty of places to hang out. We also offer a large selection of board games and puzzles.
It is close to the Badger Pass winter sports area, ice skating in the park, and Tenaya Lodge. We offer snow sleds for a fun day of playing in the snow.
We also have a charming, cozy cottage on the same property, which is private and separate from the house. The cottage can be rented with the house for a big get-together. To view the cottage, please see 769664.

Great place to stay if you’re planning on visiting Yosemite! About 30 mins to Yosemite gate entrance. Property was very clean and provided silverware, plates, towels and ability to do laundry. Hosts were amazing and communicated very well! I left an item behind and they were kind enough to ship it to my address. 10/10 fully recommend, thank you to the hosts for the stay!
My family and I were delighted with the place, everything was very complete and very clean. We hope to stay again on another vacation; it was a lovely experience.
Great place for family to stay together. My kids love the game room and pool. Comfortable beds and equipped with lots of supplies to make the stay comfortable.
Great house, prefect for what we were looking for.. The garage had been converted to a "man cave" with pool table and bar, very fun.. Pool & Jacuzzi were nice, but unfortunately the jacuzzi was out of service when we arrived, however the owners communicated with us and tried to resolve to the best of there ability. The house is nice, as you'd expect in the mountains, a little dated and basic furniture but clean. Would stay again!
This was probably the best rental home I’ve ever stayed in. The property was beautiful, the house was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. The house was perfect for our family of 6 for our spring break trip to Yosemite. The park was about an hour away with a beautiful drive, much preferred over the south entrance. We were able to pick up groceries in the town of Mariposa about 15 minutes away. The house had all the pots, pans, cooking utensils we needed as well as full supply of dishes. Susan was very communicative and gracious during our stay when we had questions. Would highly recommend this property!
Very nice property , had everything we needed and the place was very clean. The hosts responded quickly to any inquiry. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay here. Everything was perfect for a weekend getaway.
We had a wonderful time! The host was super helpful- which was especially important, as this was our first Verbo Experience. The house was beautiful, and they were super welcoming, even demonstrating how to use the space heaters in the game room. The beds were unbelievable. Never have I ever slept on a bed so soft! It was perfect. We came with 2 other couples, and we all decided we need to return at a future date. We cooked in their kitchen, and it had everything we needed. The BBQ worked great, and the fuel was included. Thank you so much, Susan and Brian! Can’t wait to come back and shoot some more pool!!!
What a great property! So much lovely outdoor space with the pool and hot tub and tables. We ate outside every night and morning. The house was perfect for our large family and we’re all so thankful for the wonderful experience.
Check in was super easy. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, bake, BBQ. The rooms are spacious and all have a door to the balcony. We had a wonderful time.

We are so pleased that you had a wonderful time and thank you for your feedback. We would love to host you all again.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful property, and I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I stepped in, it was clear that space and cleanliness were a priority. The interior was well-maintained, with plenty of room to move around and enjoy, whether for relaxation or entertaining.
What a gorgeous space!! We loved everything about our stay. The pool was the highlight with the patio space and game room coming in as second best. The hosts are so easy to work with and we will keep this property in mind for future stays as well as recommend it to friends and family.
We had a wonderful stay at this home! We were a group of 8 adults and a few small kids, and there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and relax comfortably. The house was perfect for a summer weekend, it was hot out, so the pool was a huge hit with both the kids and adults. We also really enjoyed winding down in the hot tub in the evenings.The house was clean, spacious, and well-equipped for a group our size. Everything was just as described, and the hosts made sure we had a smooth and comfortable experience. Would definitely recommend this place for families or groups looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!
Beautiful, peaceful property. House is fully stocked and the hosts have thought of everything you could need or want. Pool was great, hot tub fantastic after a day of hiking in Yosemite. The man cave was a great bonus too. 10 out of 10. Would stay again.
Really nice secluded house, other small home next to us same property didn’t really see the neighbors!! We enjoyed the pool the backyard the game room!! Plenty of room in the home!!
The property was a good location for day trips to San Francisco, Fresno and Yosemite.It was well equipped and had everything that we needed. The hosts communicated well with us informing us about road closures and were very responsive to messages.
We had two families gathered for a getaway and the place was perfect. Nice hang-out space, well-stocked kitchen, all the supplies to make us comfortable. Set in a beautiful oak-filled hillside.
We had a great stay, the property is lovely and the owners were very communicative and responsive. The kids loved the pool and the grown ups loved the hot tub and game room! The views are beautiful, and the house is well stocked. This is a fantastic place to stay if you are headed to Yosemite or nearby. We would definitely stay again!
This was a great house to stay in with our family! We enjoyed everything about the property, and the owners even refunded us some of the fee when my parents had to leave early.
Living so close to Yosemite we wanted to share such a beautiful and peaceful place with others and so we purchase this charming cottage. We have traveled all over the US, Mexico and Europe and feel fortunate to call Mariposa our home.
Why they chose this property
This is a perfect secluded location minutes from downtown Mariposa and short drive into Yosemite Park. This property also can be a destination vacation with all the amenities it offers.
