Yosemite Oaks Retreat, Views, Pool & Hot Tub, Game Room, & So Much More!

This property is perfect for families or groups to get away to relax and explore. It is a custom hilltop home on 7 park-like acres with incredible views into the Sierras. Each bedroom is appointed with a queen bed and deck access. 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.

A large slate courtyard separates the free-form pebble tech pool from the jetted hot tub and barbecue area. Just out your second-level bedroom door is a huge wraparound deck, perfect for amazing stargazing.

Inside you'll find tile and hardwood floors throughout. The guest bath includes a large jetted bathtub, while the master bath has a double shower heads and a sitting area. A 50 inch flat screen TV and a cozy wood stove are located in the conversation area. The wood for the stove is always fully stocked for a cold winter’s night.

The sitting room/library offers a peaceful place to read, relax on the soft couch or set outside the door onto the balcony for beautiful views. The library offers a a wide variety of adult and children's books.

For the more active, there's a pool, Jacuzzi, basketball court and an unconditioned game room separate from the house.

In the game room, there is a slate-top pool table, darts, and dice at the bar, as well as plenty of places to hang out. We also offer a large selection of board games and puzzles.

It is close to the Badger Pass winter sports area, ice skating in the park, and Tenaya Lodge. We offer snow sleds for a fun day of playing in the snow.

We also have a charming, cozy cottage on the same property, which is private and separate from the house. The cottage can be rented with the house for a big get-together. To view the cottage, please see 769664.

A perfect getaway for a big group

I booked both the main house and the cottage for a group of 16 people and it was great. Everything was clean and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen is really well stocked and we were able to prep big group meals without any issues. Overall a really great value and everyone from my group said they would enjoy coming back!

Our favorite vacation stay EVER

Hurry and book this house - you won't regret it at all. It is well-stocked, clean, roomy, and so fun. We felt so spoiled with with the pool and the man cave. Susan was incredibly kind and helped us with a couple vacation questions. Also, this house had a cooler we appreciated since we flew in, but wanted to pack in lunch to Yosemite. We had the BEST time here as a family.

Restful and hassle free

We enjoyed our 3 night 4 day stay at Yosemite Oaks. The location and property was just what we needed for a low hassle wedding in the Yosemite National Park. There was a diverse selection of activities for our family to do while staying on the property- unwind, enjoy the hot tub or hanging out in the cave.

Great Spot for Yosemite!

Very satisfied with the property. Super clean. It worked perfect for our family of 4. We used this property for two nights while we visited Yosemite. It was about an hour from the South Entrance. Mariposa is a very authentic California mounain town. This property is 15 minutes from downtown Mariposa, which has a handful of places to eat, grocery store and ice cream shop. Our kids enjoyed the pool. We would stay here again.

Great spot for families!

We stayed here with our entire family (6 adults, 5 kids) and had a great time! There was plenty of space for all the kids to run around and tons of things to do for people of all ages. The adults enjoyed playing pool and hanging out in the man cave and the kids enjoyed the pool itself and playing some basketball. The house has everything you need and all we had to bring was some food and we didn't have to leave the house for anything else. There was even pool toys and toys inside (puzzles, coloring books, etc.) for the kids! Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it for a family get-together! You even can see some horses not too far from the house :)

Memorable 85th Birthday Celebration

My husband and I and my son and family were in this trip to celebrate my husband's 85th birthday. Not only was it a milestone birthday, we were also giving thanks for my husband's continuing recovery. The pool was my grandkids' favorite and they had the time of their life spending much time in the water. My husband had a blast playing the billiards! Our short trip to Yosemite National Park was great too. Staying in rental home was really much fun and there was plenty of space for us 10. We would certainly go back for another family gathering.

Susan was so prompt to answer my many questions and easy to get a hold of. The outdoor space is so inviting and spacious. My children and parents enjoyed the property equally. It’s also an easy drive to Yosemite.Thank you for allowing our family to make great memories at your property once again.

Thanksgiving Get Away

The property is awesome. The Man Cave was always busy. Family played a lot of pool, darts and basketball. The only issue we had was getting to the property requires driving on rough and gravel roads so biking and walking with my walker (because of Parkinson’s) was not an option. The hosts were super responsive and friendly😉‼️

Perfect Place for Family

Our family of nine stayed here for five nights in October. It was the perfect place as the grandkids enjoyed swimming in the pool as well as the puzzles and books available in the library/bedroom. We also had a little time to play billiards. The location was great as the drive to Yosemite Valley was generally about 90 minutes, with some of the other places we hiked or fished within a 2-hour time frame. Susan was wonderful with communicating with us and giving us recommendations of sights to see in Yosemite. The photos are accurate as to the beautiful views and great outside area to enjoy! We would definitely stay here again if we decide to visit this area.

A beautiful place to rest

My husband and I stayed here with our 4 children to visit Yosemite and Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. We had such a wonderful time. The property was so beautiful with many places to spend our time and look out to see the beautiful views. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub. We had our coffee on the patios and cooked many meals with the fully stocked kitchen. We also had lots of fun playing cricket and corn hole in the man cave. Each room was very comfortable and our children thoroughly enjoyed the puzzles and books in the library as well as the many games provided. Susan and Brian were very hospitable. We would love to stay again someday and highly recommend this lovely place.

Wonderful stay in Mariposa

We had a fabulous time at their house as plenty of space for the 8 of us. We cooked a meal together and kitchen was well stocked with supplies. The pool was a perfect refreshing temperature and warm enough to enjoy swimming. Hot tub was also great! Plenty of patio space to enjoy the nice warm evenings and Man Cave for playing games was fun! The home was very clean and swim towels were provided for everyone! Extra blankets too for the beds. The owner was very friendly and responsive to all questions and provided a binder of easy to follow instructions and great recommendations for restaurants in town.
