So clean!

My husband and I were so impressed with how neat and clean this house was. We were about a 50-60 minute drive from Yosemite, and the town of Mariposa was only a few minutes away. The restaurants in Mariposa were great! Would recommend staying here!

Best place to stay in Mariposa

Our stay at the Oak Rock Hideaway was absolutely perfect. Yvonne and Stan were wonderful hosts—warm, helpful, and always respectful of our privacy. We also loved meeting Gus Gus the horse! The house itself was incredibly comfortable and beautifully maintained, with everything we could possibly need thoughtfully provided. I especially appreciated the kid-friendly touches, like beach towels, plates, bowls, and cups for our toddler. The entire space was spotless, and the furniture was clearly cared for and very comfortable. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and I can’t recommend staying here highly enough.

Great Base for Yosemite Visit

Very happy with the Oak Rock Hideaway as our base for a 4-day trip to Yosemite National Park. It is an easy drive (less than an hour) to the Arch Rock Entrance and about 10 minutes to Mariposa. The home is clean, spacious and modern with plenty of amenities. Top notch experience!

Perfection

This property is exactly what we were looking for; private, quiet, clean and a refuge after a day of adventures around the Yosemite and Mariposa areas. My family of 4 (including 2 teens) loved it! The beds were comfortable and the place was spotless. Our host was great with communication. I would highly recommend it to friends and family.

Perfect getaway close to Yosemite

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting! The house was spotlessly clean, and extremely well equipped. There were even toys to keep the little ones busy. The location was perfect, an hour away from Yosemite, less than five minutes away from the California Mining and Mineral Museum and 10 mins aways from Mariposa. We enjoyed watching the birds and deer from the gorgeous patio. Will definitly be visiting again. Highly recommend!

Oak Rock Hideaway

There is nothing we didn't like about this place! So peaceful and tranquil and the perfect place to relax after a day a Yosemite. The house was beautiful and clean; very comfortable beds and all the amenities we needed to enjoy our stay. Our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer. We were visiting our son in Los Angeles and we came from Michigan. This was the perfect place for our family to be together and enjoy the wonders of the California mountains. Will definitely recommend this place to friends and family and hopefully return ourselves one day!

Can I give 6 Stars?

What a fantastic stay!! We’ve rented houses in several states and by far this one was the best. Exceptionally clean. Well appointed and organized. Attention to detail and all the little extras to make a travel stay easier. Great communication and very responsive. Location was excellent as well. Close to 2 park entrances. Breakfast on the deck watching the sunrise and the birds was fantastic. We can’t wait to go back!!!

Perfect House for a Great Vacation!

My family and I had a wonderful stay in this house. It was in a perfect location, close to Yosemite Valley, Bass Lake, and local Mariposa hikes. The house is very well kept and has all the things you may need for your stay. We enjoyed the backyard, watching the deer and making smores with the fire pit. The house felt very safe and secure- we brought our young children, and I'm always concerned they will wonder off. But this house has so much space for them to play indoors and a secure outdoors. This really is a perfect home for a vacation in the hills. Thank you, Yvonne and family, for putting so much attention and detail into this home.

Peaceful and Beautiful!

This property was super cute and absolutely perfect for our stay! There were 4 of us, and we had more than enough room. We truly enjoyed the peace and quiet, and beautiful views. Deer from the area would pay us a visit in the mornings. The furniture and decor in Yvonne's cabin was lovely, and it was spacious and clean. She thought of everything with many wonderful details! We really enjoyed visiting around the firepit in the evenings. Very relaxing, and the drive (up to an hour) to Yosemite was beautiful as well. It's worth the drive. We even saw a black bear on the way to the park on our second day. Fabulous trip, and I would definitely stay here again.

Very impressed!

The home is even more spacious than expected and was spotless. Charming backyard to relax. Just far enough away from Mariposa to see TONS of stars at night, but only a 5-10 minute drive to Mariposa to explore the town. Mariposa is charming...I wish we had more time to explore it. The beds were super comfy. Can't say enough good things about the home. VERY comfortable for our family of 5. Would stay again in a heartbeat! Host responded within minutes and very easy to communicate with.

Hideaway Gem!

Oak Rock Hideway is appropriately named. If you're looking for a comfortable and well-kept home that's off the beaten path this is it!! There was plenty of room for our group of 4 seniors, and we made good use of the well-stocked kitchen and outdoor grill to prepare our evening meals after long days of exploring in Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The owners live right next door and checked-in several times to make sure we had everything we needed. In Mariposa itself, we were surprised and pleased by how big and well stocked the Pioneer Market was! We've become regular VRBO renters over the past 7 or 8 years and would rate this property as one of the better ones we've stayed in!!

Perfect in Every Way!

My family and I are so happy that we chose to stay at Oak Rock Hideaway during our visit to Yosemite. The beds were very comfortable and provided us with a great night's sleep every night, and the home was incredibly clean. I loved that the house had an abundance of natural light inside and that the back patio/deck was so secluded. I thoroughly enjoyed looking at the views and watching the birds while drinking my coffee on the deck each morning. True peace and serenity! We would love to stay again if we ever return to the area.

Ahhhh....peace and quiet

My family and I were looking for a place close to Yosemite (within an hour drive) but away from the noise that tourists bring. We came upon this little gem and it was perfect. The owners were great when it came to communication and there was nothing left to chance. The house itself is beautiful, super clean and shows the pride of ownership. It is clear that the owners think about what they would want if they were the guests when it comes to the little things...like providing beach towels and a cooler for a day at the lake. This was my first time renting a VRBO...and I couldn't recommend a better introduction. If you are looking for a great place near Yosemite...look no further. This is your place!
