About this property

Trabucco Gardens - Yosemite Gold Country Stargazing Retreat!



IMPORTANT: IF BRINGING A DOG TELL US BEFORE YOU ARRIVE (PET FEE WILL APPLY)

Conveniently located off Highway 49 in California's Gold Country, on a historic parcel known as Trabucco Gardens.

During the Gold Rush days, Trabucco Gardens was a parcel of land cultivated as a vegetable garden, while Forty-Niners discovered gold in the area. The historic rock walls on property mark the perimeter where the garden once grew.

The joy of discovery continues here today. Now you can discover the vast riches our universe has to offer. Trabucco Gardens, located on 17 acres, provides you with a grand opportunity to stargaze using the observatory telescope. The robotic GO-TO telescope is available during your stay, and included in the rental cost. The open, rural nature of the property, which is considered "above the fog and below the snow", provides you with many clear night opportunities, even in winter.

The Trabucco Gardens House, newly constructed in 2007, is well appointed and available year round. Mariposa, the county seat, which is 10 miles south, has many essential services, along with many wonderful dining, shopping, and historic sightseeing experiences. Yosemite National Park's West entrance is located about 45 minutes away up Highway 140 from Mariposa.

We provide housekeeping service (not daily maid service), before and after your stay. Courtesy towels, coffee, tea, cocoa, popcorn, and guest soap are provided to welcome you on the day you arrive. Personal key code access provides you with convenience and security. Along with a fold-away sofa bed in the living room, a queen-sized inflatable Aero-Bed is provided for extra sleeping accommodations.

Because of the rural nature of the area, there is abundant opportunity for wildlife sightings, such as deer, wild turkey, coyote, bobcat, birds of prey, and perhaps an occasional bear. Seasonal creeks at the North and South ends of the property flow during winter and spring. Make sure to leave some time in your schedule during your stay for stargazing too.

Using the telescope, beautiful views of the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Cluster, and many other deep sky objects are yours to behold. The telescope offers a TOUR mode, which takes you to the best and brightest objects in the sky during your stay. Stargazing doesn't get any easier than this.

What on EARTH are you waiting for? Go mining in the INFINITE FRONTIER above! An inspiring adventure of discovery for the young and the young-at-heart is here at Trabucco Gardens.

NOTE: Please include a phone number with your inquiry in case our E-mail reply fails to reach you due to technical reasons. WE ALWAYS RESPOND WITHIN A FEW HOURS.

NOTE: If you are booking through EXPEDIA and are bringing a pet please tell us BEFORE you arrive. There is a required $25 PET FEE that must be paid.

NOTE: If you wish to use the EV Charger for your vehicle let us know at time of booking BEFORE you arrive. We will need to turn on the EV Charger prior to your arrival. A $40 fee must be paid before your arrival to use the EV charger (unlimited charging).

NOTE: We DO NOT have a swimming pool, regardless of what the amenities list may indicate.

Amazing Location with a Very Warm and Cozy Atmosphere
Loved everything about this place. The cottage was very cozy, but still big enough to not feel suffocated. The outside was lovely and a joy to explore. Really enjoyed the telescope as well. Proximity to Yosemite was also pretty great, took us a litlte under an hour to get there. I'm keeping this property as one of my favorites because I'll definitely be returning.

Our 2nd time here
We were here last year but rented the smaller cabin. This year, we rented the bigger cabin and as always, it was the best birthday celebration I can ask for. It's a very quiet area with the only noises are cows and frogs. It has every amenity that we can ask for and best of all, we were able to have our Josie with us to enjoy the cabin. This is a hidden gem!

Wish our stay was longer
We loved our stay at the Trabucco Gardens. It was quiet and cozy, but close enough to food, coffee and civilization. I only wish we had booked a longer stay. We will definitely be back!
