The lodge is designed and equipped to be an amazing retreat. The large family and dining rooms have seating for your large group as does the spacious deck. Each bedroom has a comfortable bed and a smart TV. Kids large and small will have a great time in the fabulous game room or in the private above-ground swimming pool (open May 1st thru Oct1st) or in the 10-person spa. For the little kids there is plenty of room to run and play in the yard and there is a great play structure (which has a 110 pound weight limit) And for those little or big kids that love ponies, the owner has a small petting zoo and will arrange visits with her sweet miniature ponies.

The home is surrounded by pine trees and often there are local deer roaming through the property as well as rabbits, turkey and quail - all posing for your cameras!

A Great Location

The home is just 37 miles from the Arch Rock Entrance Gate to Yosemite National Park (via Highway 140), and only 33 miles to the South Entrance Gate (via Highway 41) to Yosemite. The owner recommends guest enter the park via the Arch Rock Entrance Gate if they wish to visit the Yosemite Valley.

The lodge is also a short 30 minute drive to Bass Lake, which is renowned for excellent fishing, hiking trails and warm waters. Wake borders flock to Bass Lake throughout the spring and summer as do boater, water skiers, paddle boarders, wave runner enthusiasts and more. Important note: The 'What's Nearby' section of this page indicates the mileage distance from this house to those listed locations. However, the distances are measured 'As the Crow flies', not driving miles.

Although the lodge setting is quiet and remote, it is a short 15 minute drive to downtown Mariposa and 20 minute drive to Oakhurst. Both towns offer grocery stores, restaurants and other retail stores. There is also a local diner/convenience store with fuel less than 1 mile away from the home.
