Bear Valley Retreat: Designed for Accessibility and Family-Friendliness.

Nestled in the serene beauty of nature, this custom-built home perfectly blends rustic charm with modern sophistication. Accessibility improvements have been made to ensure that everyone can enjoy our Mountain Retreat, regardless of mobility.

As you enter the home, you will be welcomed by a living room featuring a high vaulted ceiling that fills the space with natural light and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The tasteful decor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The location is ideal, only 41 miles from the gate of Yosemite, 11 miles from Lake McClure, 19 miles from Splash and Dash, and just 15 minutes from historic downtown Mariposa.

This home is ADA-friendly and includes a powered lift recliner chair with heat, massage, and a cup holder; an ADA-friendly bathroom with a roll-in shower and a shower chair; an adjustable queen bed frame; an adjustable split king bed with a massager; a commode; and a Genesis lift.

Great Get Away Spot

Our stay was amazing. The house was clean, the owner responded in a timely manner, and the views were beautiful. The owner was really prepared, there were extra toiletry items, there were kitchen essentials to use, a grill, games for the kids. It was so peaceful. We will definitely be booking again.

Best Place to Stay when planning to go to Yosemite

We stayed here on the Easter weekend & we were really grateful coz the host is gracious & very accommodating. From the time I booked her property she was very prompt to answer my questions & even asked how we would to do our sleeping arrangements. We were a group of 11 persons & we this place sleeps 12. It’s also pet friendly so it’s the best place to stay for a weekend getaway or if you want to go to Yosemite. This beautiful property is complete with everything you will need. Rebecca, the host made sure the house is prepared, from the free water bottles, cooking oil, snacks/chips/popcorn that we can eat to even preparing Easter eggs for my daughter The wifi signal is very strong & they even have Netflix in every room too. They even installed emergency lights also. There is also a bbq grill that you can use. They also have a small pool table & other games for kids. There is even a washer & dryer that you can use too If we didn’t have originalplans to go to Yosemite, we would have just stayed inside & enjoyed all the amenities there. We really enjoyed our stay here & would love to be back next time. We highly recommend staying in this lovely Mariposa home
