Wonderful stay!

This house was perfect for our family of four. It was well equipped, including beach towels, a cooler and everything else we needed. Yvonne was so kind to turn the ac to a cooler setting for us when we felt too warm.

Yosemite/Mariposa Gem!

This vacation rental really takes the cake: Cleanliness 5/5, Communication 5/5, Comfort 5/5, Quiet/Safe Neighborhood 5/5, Amenities 5/5, Beautiful Location 5/5! The only downside was we didn’t book enough days! We’re coming back when we visit Yosemite again and we strongly recommend this house.

Very impressed!

The home is even more spacious than expected and was spotless. Charming backyard to relax. Just far enough away from Mariposa to see TONS of stars at night, but only a 5-10 minute drive to Mariposa to explore the town. Mariposa is charming...I wish we had more time to explore it. The beds were super comfy. Can't say enough good things about the home. VERY comfortable for our family of 5. Would stay again in a heartbeat! Host responded within minutes and very easy to communicate with.

Hideaway Gem!

Oak Rock Hideway is appropriately named. If you're looking for a comfortable and well-kept home that's off the beaten path this is it!! There was plenty of room for our group of 4 seniors, and we made good use of the well-stocked kitchen and outdoor grill to prepare our evening meals after long days of exploring in Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The owners live right next door and checked-in several times to make sure we had everything we needed. In Mariposa itself, we were surprised and pleased by how big and well stocked the Pioneer Market was! We've become regular VRBO renters over the past 7 or 8 years and would rate this property as one of the better ones we've stayed in!!

Lovely Home!

This house was perfect for our short stay in Miraposa. It was a great location for visiting Yosemite and just a short drive to restaurants. The house was very clean and was well stocked with everything we needed! The instructions for check in and out were clearly displayed and very helpful! We would love to stay here again if ever back in the area!

Perfect in Every Way!

My family and I are so happy that we chose to stay at Oak Rock Hideaway during our visit to Yosemite. The beds were very comfortable and provided us with a great night's sleep every night, and the home was incredibly clean. I loved that the house had an abundance of natural light inside and that the back patio/deck was so secluded. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the views and watching the birds while drinking my coffee on the deck each morning. True peace and serenity! We would love to stay again if we ever return to the area.

Perfection

This property is exactly what we were looking for; private, quiet, clean and a refuge after a day of adventures around the Yosemite and Mariposa areas. My family of 4 (including 2 teens) loved it! The beds were comfortable and the place was spotless. Our host was great with communication. I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Ahhhh....peace and quiet

My family and I were looking for a place close to Yosemite (within an hour drive) but away from the noise that tourists bring. We came upon this little gem and it was perfect. The owners were great when it came to communication and there was nothing left to chance. The house itself is beautiful, super clean and shows the pride of ownership. It is clear that the owners think about what they would want if they were the guests when it comes to the little things...like providing beach towels and a cooler for a day at the lake. This was my first time renting a VRBO...and I couldn't recommend a better introduction. If you are looking for a great place near Yosemite...look no further. This is your place!

Wonderful stay, quiet and peaceful

This was all we were looking for, away from the city noise, beautiful starry nights and quiet open location. I would stay here again for sure. You can tell they have great pride in their home. It is clean and so homey, I loved the large master bath and shower. We enjoyed the sounds of nature while sitting at the firepit at night. Mariposas is a wonderful little town and the drive to Yosemite was about 45 mins. Thanks again to the property owners for opening up their home to us!

Great stay for our Yosemite vacation!

We loved staying here for our vacation in Yosemite! Very peaceful and quiet. The home is beautiful and was very clean! Yvonne was easy to work with and even let us check in early when we arrived at 3. We were very grateful, as we had been traveling from Georgia and had been traveling fir a long time. Yosemite is about an hour away and it’s a beautiful drive in.

Nice stay near Yosemite

Was a great location and beautiful house. We (My wife and two daughters) loved being there and would recommend to others. Access to the property (off the main road) is a pretty rough road (drive). May want to include some description of this in the listing (may have been there and I just missed it). We had an SUV and it was fine but anything with low clearance would have had some trouble.

Very happy with the Oak Rock Hideaway as our base for a 4-day trip to Yosemite National Park. It is an easy drive (less than an hour) to the Arch Rock Entrance and about 10 minutes to Mariposa. The home is clean, spacious and modern with plenty of amenities. Top notch experience!

Perfect getaway close to Yosemite

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting! The house was spotlessly clean, and extremely well equipped. There were even toys to keep the little ones busy. The location was perfect, an hour away from Yosemite, less than five minutes away from the California Mining and Mineral Museum and 10 mins aways from Mariposa. We enjoyed watching the birds and deer from the gorgeous patio. Will definitly be visiting again. Highly recommend!

What makes this property unique

Easy access to Yosemite, a quiet mountain setting, and beautiful night skies make Oak Rock Hideaway the perfect place to get-away and relax. It is situated far enough out to be peaceful and relaxing, but close enough (10 minutes) to be able to run into our quaint little town of Mariposa.
