Cozy Cottage Retreat, Close to Yosemite, Beautiful Views, Hot Tub & More!

This charming private cottage with beautiful views of the mountains is a great getaway for a couple or small family to relax and explore. 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.


This cottage has a 1 bedroom with a full loft, which looks out through the large 2 story windows to the mountains. There is a fully stocked kitchen with all modern appliances. We offer basic spices, coffee and tea.

During the cold months, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or hot cup of chocolate snuggled up to the wood burning stove. The wood for the stove is always fully stocked. It is close to the Badger Pass winter sports area and ice skating in the park and Tenaya Lodge. We offer his and hers snowshoes and snow sleds for a fun day in the snow.

The bedroom and loft are appointed with comfortable queen beds and a sofa that turns into a very comfortable double bed (There are reviews verifying the comfort of the bed.). The towels and linens are high quality soft cotton. The loft has a comfortable sitting area to read and relax. The library provides a wide variety of books, games and puzzles.

From the living area you can walk out onto the private deck with seating for 6+, a gas grill and a hot tub. The hot tub is right off the deck, which you can relax and soak up the incredible view of the sierras or star gaze in the evening.

All year we provide a herb garden and in the summer we grow yummy tomatoes for the guests to enjoy.

We also have a beautiful home on the same property, which is private and separate from the cottage. The home can be rented with the cottage for a big get together. To view the home please see 779053.

Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.

Check in, check out, and overall communication with the hosts was very easy and response time was prompt. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub was wonderful after a few long hikes. I was grateful for the stock of kitchen items and spices to cook with, as well as the short drive to "downtown" with a nice grocery store. The few small issues I had were met with appreciation for the communication and were handled appropriately.

Excellent cottage not far from downtown Mariposa and about an hour away from the door steps of yosemite national park. The rental has all needed amenities and the hot tub was situated in a perfect place which made it feel completely isolated.

Our stay here was just perfect. The cottage was comfortable and felt like home away from home. It was such a cold visit so we enjoyed the wood burning stove nightly as well as the hottub. It was the perfect base for traveling to Yosemite. We saw deer, bluejays, and other wildlife in the nearby yard. It was just lovely.

It was the perfect place for us to rest and relax. We loved the quietness, hot tub, general layout and view of the hills through the south windows and deck. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials. We hope to be back to enjoy it with another couple.

We wanted a place away from the noise and chaos of the city and we got exactly that. The patio and hot tub were awesome and we enjoyed the nights eating dinner with the sunset and stargazing in the hot tub. Waking up to the sunrise gleaming through the windows was another highlight! We loved the kitchen amenities, as they made cooking a quick dish easy. Being someone with food allergies it is always apprecaited to have the ability to cook meals when away from home. The town is also close by for dining and shopping and yosmite is not to far either. The hosts were awesome and welcoming and provided all the info you would need for your visit.

Everything was sooo beautiful! The living space was very cozy and comfortable. The loft was especially cozy. The kitchen was nice and easy to navigate. The back patio was so beautiful, with the view of the wooded hills. The hot tub was very relaxing, especially at night under the stars. The stars shine so bright out there compared to our home on the crowded east coast. Everything was just so nice and relaxing, a perfect honeymoon experience!

Everything was absolutely amazing. Quiet. Private. Lots of beautiful birds and a couple cats. Fully. FULLY. stocked kitchen. Lots of extra blankets, towels and seating. Many extras for baby and children. Board games and books. We stayed for about a week. If you arrive at night look for the address markers at bottom of drive. I can notthink of one con about this location. All pros! Shower has exceptional pressure. Coolers for renters use. Lots of extras. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash. A collection of bug spray and sun block. At the rental you probably do not need bug spray, but at Yosemite,maybe.
