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.

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!
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 family of five really enjoyed our stay in the cozy cottage! It was a welcome respite after our long days hiking at Yosemite. I wish we could have stayed longer!
We truly enjoyed pur stay and i will stay here again next time I have out of town guests and i want to show them atound Yosemite. This property was easy access into Yosemite and the town of Mariposa was fantastic. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again!!!
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 beautiful cottage. We had everything we could want and need at this cozy home away from home. We really enjoyed the hot tub and scenery! What a special little spot! Highly recommend!
We had an awesome stay at Susans and Brians beautiful place close to Mariposa and also Yosemite NP. It's very quiet sow it was easy to relax after a day of hiking at Yosemite (about 1/1.5hr away). At the end we thought we should have stayed longer to embrace the beauty of the place with the garden and all the other amenities of the place more than we did. We were.lucky to meet our host Susan, she is such a nice person and a great host!
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.
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!
Excellent customer service and easy to communicate with property owners. They had great recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. Having a hottub and grill was a nice bonus.
Thanks for letting us stay at your home.
