11 Acre Mountain Spirit Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Relax and unwind in the majestic Mountain Spirit Retreat—a 12-acre oasis of total peace and serenity in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, located just 25 miles from gorgeous Yosemite National Park and nine miles from the Jesse Ross Cabin. This unique and lovely home is full of space for creativity, relaxation, meditation, and exploration. This retreat offers an abundantly stocked kitchen, dining room, large living area with an open fire and wood-burning stove, an office with a library, and a lovely sunroom. The main suite is located on the ground floor with direct access to the sunroom. It has a luxurious en suite bathroom with a shower and spacious jetted tub beneath breathtaking mountain views. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and one full bathroom as well as a cozy sitting area with a couch. The sunroom leads onto a wonderful outdoor space with two large decks offering vast mountain views. The upper deck has a lounge set where you can dine outside or sit and star gaze under the heavenly night skies –feel free to use the telescope for this! The large lower deck houses two egg chairs, hammocks, and ample space for yoga, meditation, or other activities. There is a private hot tub to invigorate your senses and an outdoor shower to leave you feeling refreshed and replenished! Beyond the decks are vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and a large playground with a trampoline and swings. This is an absolute haven for kids and adults!

It's a 10-minute walk to the sacred Whiskey Falls, a waterfall that cascades down large granite rock for miles and miles with limitless views and epic swimming holes. This is one of the main attractions for locals. There are also several nearby trails for hiking and bike riding. The home is at 3400 feet in elevation and receives the best of all 4 seasons. Coming with your family? Find something for all ages. Next to the playground nestled into the forest, is a large sandbox with toys as well as 2 swings hanging from the trees. The house is stocked with play areas with books, toys and crafts for any child to get lost in for hours. The glorious Yosemite National Park is only a short drive away. Bass Lake is a ten-minute drive and has restaurants and many swimming/boating adventures.

If you are in need of some healing, movement or just some self-care; take advantage of our licensed acupuncturists who can offer treatments tailored to your personal goals and needs. She specializes in yoga, acupuncture, massage, nutrition, and meditation. Services are available for an additional fee – please enquire with the hosts or consult the business cards you will find in the hallway.

Sierra getaway 2024
Cascadel woods is good property for large groups. With 7 bedrooms in two different homes, it was perfect for our growing family. There are musical instruments for the teens to play and a space for the young ones to nap, all at the same time. The patio and playground were perfect for gatherings and for the kids to play and the hot tub was used by all. All in all a great spot for our 2024 getaway!

Perfect for large groups
We had a 40 year anniversary get together so we rented both homes, it was perfect and we all were very comfortable. It was hot while we were there but the AC and the creek that is very close kept us cool. The jacuzzi tub in the main suite is the best inside tub I have ever used.

Vacasa (property manager)
We booked this property for Thanksgiving. We had 7 adults and 6 children in our party. Check-in was frustrating. The instructions on how to get into the home were unclear, and 2 couples spent over 40 minutes trying to get into the home at check-in time. There were not enough cooking utensils to cook a large Thanksgiving dinner. In addition to that, Vacasa, the property manager, decided that 2 kitchen towels and 1 roll of paper towels were enough for 13 people for a 4 night stay. When I reached out to a Vacasa representative to complain about how little standard equipment and supplies were given, I was told via text that it never said in the listing that Vacasa supplies those types of supplies and that we should have assumed that we would have to bring our own paper towels, and possibly more toilet paper. This is outrageous, especially as this property was advertised to host up to 14 people, and we were staying for 4 nights! The upstairs bathroom light was burned out and the toilet wasn’t working so we couldn’t use it. The toilet started leaking into the kitchen; there was a puddle of toilet water leaking from the kitchen ceiling onto the kitchen floor. The hot tub was not on when we arrived. It took 36 hours to heat up, and it hadn’t been cleaned. The water looked like pond water. It was clear that Vacasa made no attempt to make sure this amenity was ready and available for us. There were many other issues; we’d never recommend this property or any other managed by Vacasa.
