Property Description
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.

Everything was sooo beautiful! The living space was very cozy and comfortable. The loft was especially cozy. The kitchen was nice and easy to navigate. The back patio was so beautiful, with the view of the wooded hills. The hot tub was very relaxing, especially at night under the stars. The stars shine so bright out there compared to our home on the crowded east coast. Everything was just so nice and relaxing, a perfect honeymoon experience!

Everything was absolutely amazing. Quiet. Private. Lots of beautiful birds and a couple cats. Fully. FULLY. stocked kitchen. Lots of extra blankets, towels and seating. Many extras for baby and children. Board games and books. We stayed for about a week. If you arrive at night look for the address markers at bottom of drive. I can notthink of one con about this location. All pros! Shower has exceptional pressure. Coolers for renters use. Lots of extras. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash. A collection of bug spray and sun block. At the rental you probably do not need bug spray, but at Yosemite,maybe.

It was more remote than planned, but was very comfortable and well appointed. We were out hiking during the day, so a good place to land in the evenings

2-night getaway to Yosemite We were at Susan and Brian’s beautiful cottage for a weekend and had the coziest, most wonderful stay. The sun shines in every room and at night, the stars are the clearest we’ve ever seen them. Susan was very welcoming and accommodating. The place itself was very comfortable and had everything you could need for a quick getaway. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Yosemite Home Base My wife, my son and I stayed at the cottage during our recent Yosemite trip. It was lovely. The property is so peaceful. It's little bit of a drive from Mariposa (took us 15 minutes) but was worth it for the privacy and wonderful views. The property had lots of little touches we appreciated. The hosts were amazing and communicated proactively before and through the stay.

Title Great place. The road and driveway are pretty rough. Other than that, no complaints. Renting both properties for a big family is a great set up.
