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.

Our stay in Mariposa was wonderful. It was a great base location for our visits to Yosemite and exploring the town of Mariposa. We enjoyed the wood burning stove at the end of the winter days in the park. Kitchen amenities were extensive which allowed us to cook in. Communication with the hosts was clear and quick. Thank you for a great stay!

Loved our stay here, was very cosy and had everything we needed! Loved the deck area and hot tub - we spent many hours watching for wildlife and looking at stars. Great distance from Yosemite and Mariposa while feeling like you were still in the middle of nowhere. Hosts communicated well before the trip and deposit was paid back promptly. Would definitely stay again thank you for helping create a memorable part of our trip!
