There are two ultra cozy bedrooms each with hand carved log beds. Bedroom 1 had a king size bed. The second bedroom with queen bunk bed and an en suite half bathroom. We have an extra long twin fold up bed located in the king bedroom closet which can be set up in one of the bedrooms or the living room - just let us know and we will set it out for you wherever you like.

In the living room, warm up during the winter months with the wood-burning stove or kick back and watch television with the family. With the “Smart TV”, stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or Amazon Prime.

After a long day of fun-filled activities, soak in the hot tub and let your body relax and rejuvenate. The hot tub is cleaned and maintained before/after each set of guests.

Other things to note:

We are happy to provide pet friendly accommodations! We allow house-trained dogs, but with some rules. First, it’s an extra $50 per pet for the stay. Further, we reserve the right to charge for any damage caused by the dog.

Second, please keep your dog in a crate if you leave the dog alone in the house for an extended period of time to avoid accidents in the house. We do not provide dog crates so please bring your own - along with a nice blanket and toys :)

Third, please clean up all dog waste in the yard. We do not supply poopbags, so please have your own supply.

Quiet and peaceful
We were looking for a place to stay as we visited Yosemite. The cabin was located in a very remote and quiet location. Although the entrance to the park was about 1 hour away, we enjoyed having the cabin as home base after a long day in the park. We enjoyed watching the wildlife (deer, turkey, hummingbirds) as we relaxed in the hot tub. Overall nice experience.

We love this cabin in the woods!
This property is a great place to go to get away and enjoy the outdoors. It is cozy, we’ll decorated and spacious. Although it is a far drive into Yosemite (over an hour) we love the location! It ia half way between mariposa and Oakhurst. Our dog is in heaven there too. Lots of burrs when she runs around but it was worth every brush out. We will be back!

Perfect for us
The cabin is set back in a cozy dry wilderness with not much to do or see, but very private with a jacuzzi to enjoy. There is plenty of dish ware for cooking and other essential equipment. The washing machine and dryer is huge. I need to get me one of those. The beds were firm and comfortable. Overall, we enjoyed are stay and would return. Thanks for having such a nice place.

Escape the city
Great place to get away from the city. We visited Yosemite from this house and yes, it’s an hour or so to the entrance to the park, but we were able to do one entrance one day and a different entrance the second day. Both are beautiful drives from the house. The property managers gave lots of good tips for the area and great directions to finding the house. We really enjoyed waking up to all of the little bunnies and quail. Last day we were there we were visited by turkeys. It was hot weather but the house stayed comfortable with just ceiling fans. And grilled all of our meals on the deck with the propane grill. It was the escape from the city that we needed

Fantastic place
Cabin look on outside - beautiful home on inside. Kitchen, laundry and main bathroom are upgraded with gorgeous appliances, countertops and flooring. Easy to follow instructions posted everywhere. No problem getting to Yosemite from here. Great value for what you get in this home. I highly recommend staying here.

Great rustic place
Great place to chill out. An HOUR outside of either entrance to Yosemite but it’s manageable and the drive on 140 is memorable, along the Merced river to the El Portal entrance. Would do it again!

beautiful vacation home
Very updated and comfortable home/cabin with a rustic feel. On 11 beautiful acres with a small creek to enjoy. Loved the porch around the home. The birds were awesome too! Saw 2 bucks as we drove in on our first day! It was a bit of a drive to Yosemite, about 1 1/2 hours but the drive is gorgeous! It was lacking a bit on supplies, i.e. no cooking oil or Pam to prevent food from sticking on pans, no hot pads, only a couple bags for the kitchen trash cans and TV remote batteries were dead, but overall, we absolutely loved our time here!!

Cabin in the Woods
Well appointed remote cabin - away from the noise and crowds near Mariposa. Has everything you need and the hosts were responsive to any and all requests. 20 minutes from town, 1:15 mins from main entrance to Yosemite. Plan a day just to hang around the house - it's beautiful, quiet and relaxing. Enjoy.
