About this property
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.

Amazing cabin! Super cozy with such a beautiful view! The hot tub was absolutely perfect as well as the hosts. They were very friendly and helped us with any questions that we had.
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.
OMGoodness this was a perfect location and everything we needed for several nights! Also a great breakfast/diner only a block away for getting breakfast or picking up lunch to go while not having to pay $$$ in town!
Our stay was relaxing and peaceful. The place is perfect for 4 adults. Comes with all basic amenities and hot tub was a great plus. It is a bit of drive to Yosemite but it worked for us anyways.
This was a great place to stay after a long day in the park. Home was clean and charming, would definitely recommend. Owners were excellent with communications.
We stayed at the property during our trip to Yosemite. The drive to the park is nice, easy, and really pretty. Downtown Mariposa has different and delicious food options as well. The property was as advertised and has all the amenities for a great stay.
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!
The property is a lovely country cottage with easy access to lots of nature. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking. The place is stocked with everything you could need for your stay, and the host is super responsive with any questions or concerns. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get away and slow down for a while.
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!
Such an amazing place to unwind and relax. It is fitted with the works. The property had everything we needed to fit our needs. We will definitely be going back.
The place is exactly as advertised. Quiet. Peaceful. The house is clean and well-maintained. And the hosts were so helpful every step of the way. Would definitely come back!
We highly recommend this secluded cottage retreat. Has nice outdoor deck and we loved sitting in the spa under the stars at night. Enjoyed the kitchen as it was fully stocked with everything we needed, including fresh coffee beans for coffee each morning.
Hosts are very friendly and got back to us right away when we reached out to them. We would definitely stay here again!
Ny wife and I really enjoyed our time at your home. The house met our needs. The kitchen was well equipped. The deck and and hot tub were wonderful. Many deer came by to say hi. Nice secluded home. One hour drive to Yosemite. Would stay there again.
