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 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.

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 place to celebrate
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😉‼️

Woodsy Foothills Retreat
This home is described and pictured accurately! The views are wonderful. Morning coffee and the Sun coming over the mountains! We were there for a wedding in Mariposa and the proximity to town was good, but away from most activity (except wildlife.) The owners were very responsive to inquiries and did much to make our stay the best.

Perfect for families
We have stayed at this property before but this time also rented the cottage with is just as amazing as the main house. The pool and hot tubs are so amazing. 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.

A Great Getaway
This property was perfect for our family to get to spend time together. We cooked, swam, enjoyed the hot tub, played board games, spent a good amount of time on the game room (pool table, darts and Nintendo) and just relaxing on the balcony or patio. We found everything we could possibly need in the kitchen. They even stock sun screen, bug repellant and a first aid kit, if needed.

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.
