About this property

Large private house near Yosemite. In-ground heated Pool, Spa and nice views

Canyon View Retreat is quiet and relaxing. The house is at the end of the road and over 2 miles off of highway 140 so you won’t hear any highway noise. Let the stress melt away while sitting on the deck enjoying the wonderful views of the Merced River Valley, the amazing sunsets, or even sit in the spa and look at all of the stars you don’t see in the city. This completely remodeled house sits on 20 acres and features 3 bedrooms that are separated from one another, 4 full high end bathrooms, and a bonus area. The house sleeps 14 comfortably. The master bath is 8’ x 12’ and features a large walk-in shower. The master bedroom has a cal-king Sealy mattress and all the other bedrooms have queen Sealy mattresses. The bonus area has 2 queen beds, both with queen Sealy mattresses. There is a pull out sofa bed in the kids area downstairs along with a roll out twin bed. The sleeping areas have blinds to keep the morning sun out. The large kitchen is fully stocked for cooking you’d do at the house. Also included is a 12 bottle wine fridge with dual temperature zones and an espresso machine. The kitchen table seats 12 comfortably and there is room for 3 more at the bar area. Outside the kitchen area is a 1500 sf patio with a bbq and access to the pool and spa. There is no lifeguard on duty and it is use at your own risk. The pool is open in mid May to the end of September. There is a dining table for six and a few lounge chairs out there. The upstairs living area features a 15’ sectional couch with a 65” tv with YouTube TV and a blueray/dvd player. Right off the living room and master bedroom is the 1200 sf deck. There is a dining table for 14. Downstairs are two of the bedrooms along with a sitting area with a wood stove for those cold winter nights, and a kids area. The kids area includes an arcade size air hockey table, a large sectional couch with a playstation, Xbox Series X, and board games, puzzles, table for puzzles and games, and kids toys. There is also a basketball hoop on the back patio. Outside the lower level is a 1000 sf patio with a porch swing and nice views. There is plenty of areas to go hike to on the property. You can walk up to the trails to the top of the hill and back along the property. You will be in areas where you don’t see any house and don’t hear any highway noise. While you are out in the country, you are about 15 minutes away from the town of Mariposa. The Merced River Valley is about a 10 minute drive from the house where you can play in the river and go white water rafting.

On the property you can see wild animals including turkey, deer, rabbits, and birds.

In the winter we can get snow. Typically it will snow 2"-6" during a storm and melt off within a few days. Snow chains are recommended during winter months in case of a snow storm.

The drive to Canyon view Retreat is about 2.5 to 3 hours in the Bay Area. If you are flying into the bay area, try to land before 1 pm and fly into Oakland or San Jose to avoid traffic as the traffic from SFO can be bad. The Fresno airport is probably your best option.

Excellent Place To Stay
My family and I had a wonderful time here! The place is very large and clean. It is located between Mariposa and Yosemite Arch Rock Entrance. We were there in the beginning of October and it would take us about 40 mins to get to the park. The house sits up on a hill and has amazing views. You are not close to neighbors so it is very quiet and the Hot Tub was a lifesaver after a day of hiking. Check in and Check out were very easy and the owner was easy to contact and very helpful. We had a wonderful time on our trip and having a great place to stay really helped. I can't say enough nice stuff about this place.

About the host

Hosted by Ed Cripps

Host profile image
I'm a single dad with two awesome kids, ages 13 and 9. I grew up in the Bay Area and left at the start of Covid to move to Midpines. I spend most of my free time traveling up and down the west coast.

Why they chose this property

Several years before buying this house, I stayed at several rentals in the area with my ex. We fell in love with the area and started looking for property. While looking, we never found a house we liked on a property we liked. So we found a property we liked and did a complete remodel/addition on the house to make it our dream house. The biggest draw of this property is how quiet it is. You aren't near the highway and you are at the end of the road. We have stayed at other places where you hear the busses and trucks. We are also less than 3 hours from the bay area.

What makes this property unique

What sold me on this property was the view. Everyone that comes up mentions the view. We are on 20 acres so you have plenty of room to move around. You can hike up to the top of the hill and find some nice areas to sit and relax.
