Magical mountain retreat on 5 park-like acres

Escape to the extraordinary at Caper Acres! Named for adventure and fun, this private estate in the Sierra Nevadas feels so much like Yosemite! Stroll through the granite-lined trails where gorgeous skies, panoramic views, or wildlife may greet you, especially in the mornings and evenings. Luxuriate in the spa, sauna, or one of the many lounge areas after a day of adventure. Or, challenge your friends and family to a friendly game of billiards or basketball. The rugged and park-like setting on this large and scenic property, along with the stunning views make Caper Acres a photographer’s dream!

An ideal home base for exploring the amazing wonders of Yosemite Park. It's located on a ridge with beautiful views and sunsets, only 3 miles from Mariposa and 36 miles from Yosemite's west entrance.
Trips to scenic Bass Lake (swimming, boating, fishing) and Sugar Pine Railroad (family fun) are easy.

Amenities: A/C (all rooms), 3 BR/2.5 BA, pool table, hot tub, sauna, basketball, BBQ grill, fast WIFI and streaming (5 TVs), beautiful well-equipped kitchen, several comfortable outdoor living spaces, wildlife.

You'll love spending time at this 5-acre property playing basketball, mountain biking, shooting pool, meditating, yoga or just relaxing on the many decks and patios, all with stunning views! Enjoy a leisurely soak in the hot tub, after a long day of adventure, or rejuvenate in the sauna! Evenings display stunning sunsets, as well as, unsurpassed night sky watching! Binoculars on tri-pod provided!

With ample seating outside, this 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom retreat offers plenty of room and privacy for couples, families and friends. Pets are considered on a case by case basis.

The downstairs is open concept: A large well-equipped kitchen with granite counters, a comfortable living room with fireplace and TV, and a pool table for family fun and a half bathroom. The dining area has a great view of the outdoors. Upstairs are the 3 bedrooms, each with its own TV, and one with its own balcony that has an amazing mountain view. The 2 full bathrooms are both upstairs.

Enjoy the best that the Sierra Nevada Mountains have to offer, and make your Yosemite vacation one that rejuvenates your sense of adventure and deepens your connection with nature and each other!

This property is just a few minutes from the quaint small town of Mariposa, for gift shops, the large "Pioneer Market" grocery store, several good restaurants and entertainment. There is a natural foods grocery and deli also. Weekend concerts on the town green on summer weekend evenings.

This is a two story home and all 3 bedrooms are upstairs. There is no elevator, so guests will need to be able to climb stairs. Guests have access to the entire home, except the home's garage. There is ample parking outside the garage in front of the house. This wooded property is very private and a place where you can completely relax and unwind. There are no cameras inside or outside the property and no neighbors within view. The owner does live in another building uphill from the rental home, on this large property, but gives her guests total privacy, while keeping herself available by text or phone if you have any questions or needs. We want you to have a stay that is wonderful and hassle-free.

Mariposa Vacation
The house is a ways off the main roads, but is wonderful for a family gathering. It has plenty of room and a well appointed kitchen. We did not make use of the hot tub or the sauna because of the 100 degree temperatures, but we greatly enjoyed the billiards table. We used the house as a base to visit Yosemite, Cathey’s Valley, Mariposa, and surrounding area where we lived and went to school as children. Good to be back.
