Beautiful Creekside Home in Mariposa Pines Close to Yosemite. No cleaning fee.

All inclusive. No cleaning fee. Built in 1998 this modern 1600 sq. ft. ranch style home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our home has a beautiful large kitchen completely stocked for cooking needs. The living room and dining area are large and open with lovely and comfortable furnishings. There is a large laundry room available for our guests. You step out the front door and are surrounded by trees over one hundred years old, huge granite rocks and a seasonal creek right in front of the house. Early risers can enjoy that first cup of morning coffee with a leisurely walk or sitting under the trees enjoying the quiet and fresh air. Yosemite is approx. a one hour drive (38 miles) along the Merced River which meanders through canyons into the park. For advanced hikers our home is two miles from one of the most beautiful hikes in Mariposa. Search: Hite Cove trail for details. Mountain biking is also right out our door! We are located on the trail head of the forest service fire roads that span over 40 miles of amazing riding with views of the back country of Yosemite including a view of El Capitan seven miles from our house. Historical downtown Mariposa is 20 minutes away with gold mining and rock museums, shopping, restaurants and antique stores. You can pick up the YARTS bus into the park in several locations in town. Bus fare includes admission into the park. Chuckchansi Casino is 45 minutes away with live shows and several restaurants. Bass Lake is 45 minutes away with boating, jet skiing, fishing and swimming. Zephyr white water river rafting is 20 minutes away. Creekside Retreat is supplied with a Tesla Powerwall battery backup system for the house in case of power outages. It will power 5 circuits in the house for 6-8 hours.


Keywords: See our reviews by past guests who have loved our home away from home. A comment we constantly get from guests is how cool, lush and heavily wooded our area is compared to the lower elevations in Mariposa. One of our guests little girl described our property as being like 'Narnia'. Surrounded by oaks, pines and a seasonal creek. There are frequently deer and wild turkeys strolling around the property. Our home is also available for exchange in Europe and the U.S.

Great Family Vacation Spot

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The home was immaculate and well outfitted. Our grandchildren enjoyed exploring the area and the proximity to Yosemite (about an hour from the valley) was a bonus. We will definately be returning.

Great Rental House

This was a great rental house, filled with interesting artwork. It was spacious, and had very comfortable beds and plenty of room for our family of 4. We loved the remote location for stargazing. The only real downside was the long drive to Yosemite - about an hour to both the south and arch rock gates.

Beautiful Setting & Great Location

Wonderful home in a beautiful setting. Great location to YNP about 1hr 10minutes. Also close to the town of Mariposa about 25 minutes. The home is very comfortable and large main living/kitchen/dining area. Well stocked kitchen to meet all your cooking needs. Comfortable beds. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would stay here again!

Great place for 2 couples

Older adults visiting Yosemite. This is abit off the beaten path and an hour or so to get to the Yosemite gates, but the area itself is pretty remote so there are not a lot of closer choices. The house is well stocked, clean and was perfect for us.

Nice stay in Mariposa

The Creekside Home in Mariposa was a great place to stay. It’s a bit of a drive to town (20 minutes), but worth it. A clean, comfortable house that had everything we needled. Unfortunately we were visiting Yosemite both days we were there so didn’t spend much time at the house, but the time we did spend there was comfortable.

Relaxing and Complete

The Creekside retreat greatly exceeded our expectations and provided a very comfortable stay while being in a beautiful location near to both Mariposa and Yosemite. The house included all amenities and provided both relaxation and peace during our adventure. We would request another stay and recommend to both friends and family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your retreat on our journey. Much appreciated.

Nice sized family home with character for family Yosemite trip

I stayed two nights in this home with my family (wife and two teenagers) as we visited Yosemite. They house is really neat and a great size for a family with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. My son really enjoyed the jazz CD collection the owners encouraged us to enjoy as he is in his HS jazz band and is learning all about the jazz greats they had. We also took advantage of the board games for a family game night, and I appreciated small things like there being microwave popcorn provided. The host was very nice and we had no trouble getting into or out of the property. The only two slight knocks I have on the property are that it's a good hour-plus drive to Yosemite because you can't get there very directly from the property, and the creek is really overgrown with weeds versus the online pictures so you can't see it very well. But overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Great respite in the woods

My friends and I traveled here, as likely most do, to visit and experience Yosemite. While this particular property isn’t quite as ideally located as we’d hoped, it turned out to be a welcome retreat. The place was clean, and had all the necessary amenities to rest between explorations. The host was very kind to afford us early check in and had great communication and information regarding the park. Hope to visit again!

Disliked: Communication
It's really the worst. They said they had a barbecue grill, but it wasn't. She didn't come at check-in and check-out. After we checked out, she asked for $250, saying we damaged the oven. We didn't use the oven. We had four stayers and she lied that we had six stayers. We didn't use a fire extinguisher and she insisted we did. She framed us and charged us. We are a family of four, and we are traveling to the U.S. There are over ten accommodations we have stayed in, and the host is the worst of them all. I'm the first host to cheat foreign travelers and extort money this way. Strongly protesting Expedia as well.

Cozy mountain home

Myself, my husband and our two college age sons stayed for two nights (we would have like to stayed for more but that's all we could fit it). We have stayed in many vacation rentals. This house was great because it was clean, it was well stocked, it was comfortable. We did not cook but we often do and the kitchen had lots pots pans, knives, cutting boards and more so that preparing meals would not have been a problem. We did go to Yosemite one day. It was about a 90 minute drive.
