About this property

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this home! We were a group of 8 adults and a few small kids, and there was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and relax comfortably. The house was perfect for a summer weekend, it was hot out, so the pool was a huge hit with both the kids and adults. We also really enjoyed winding down in the hot tub in the evenings.The house was clean, spacious, and well-equipped for a group our size. Everything was just as described, and the hosts made sure we had a smooth and comfortable experience. Would definitely recommend this place for families or groups looking for a fun and relaxing getaway!

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.

This property is so nice. The house sits on a hill and the view is beautiful. I enjoyed how quiet it is and no one bothers you at all. We had a problem with the lock box and was given a solution right away after a phone call. Very kind people Susan!

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😉‼️

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.

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!
