Midpines Hwy 140 House on your way to Yosemite

This historic country house was built in 1947. Now this charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is a vacation rental. Its is conveniently located directly off the Hwy 140, in Midpines, on your way to Yosemite National park and ten minutes outside of Mariposa.
Upon arriving you will be greeted by an eye appealing rock entry made from local Mariposa slate. The front door enters into a large living room. From both the living room and dining room kitchen areas you can look out the windows and observe the wild life in the meadow across the street. The large farm style kitchen is a great place for everyone to gather in. It is fully equipped for all your cooking needs. There is even a large beautiful fireplace to enjoy during the winter months.
In the back patio area there is a BBQ for outside cooking and dining. There is also a fenced yard to the side of the side of the house with an herb garden.
This country vacation rental is easy to find and is perfectly located to many attractions in the area. Yosemite is 19 miles from the house, about 40 minutes away. There is even a bus stop within walking distance from the house that can take you to and from Yosemite Park. In the spring months the Zyfer River Rafting is close by too! Mariposa is only 7 miles away. There are many cute shops and dining to enjoy. Also don't forget about the local museum and music on the green in the park during the summer. Mariposa also offers an adventurous zipline. Are you into dirt bikes and ATV's? You can bring those too. The house offers plenty of parking and the forest service trails are within a mile of the house with hours of outdoor fun trails to explore.

Comfort and Charm: Our Family Stay near Yosemite NP
We had a wonderful stay in this quaint home with so much history. It’s a vintage style home with all the modern amenities. Just a 38min drive from Yosemite entrance and 8-10min from Mariposa. Amazing location! Perfect for all the activities we wanted to do.

Beautiful views
This is a quirky old building. Used to be a road side cafe. The old timey photos of the cafe were a nice touch. The fireplace in the kitchen was awesome! Just looking out the kitchen windows to the creek across the street really made it feel like you're in the middle of nature. Not far from local shops and mom and pop restaurants. Still conveniently close to Merced river and Yosemite national park. The beds were nice but too soft for us. Also one of the beds was too high off the ground for some of our family members. Queen size only, no kings. But well stocked with dvds and games if needed. There was no working porch light so get there during day light, its easy to miss. We would definitely stay here again. Wish i could live there forever!

Beautiful home!!!
Lovely home located just past Mariposa on your way to Yosemite National Park. Huge kitchen ( I love to cook) huge fireplace and I loved the privacy in the backyard. The beds and bedding were so comfortable. The host was amazing and super friendly and so were the owners. My trips will be more regular and this will be my stop. It’s perfect!

Nice house, but uncomfortable
Property is a bit difficult to locate at night time. House was better than the pictures, place is clean and located in good location with respect to Yosemite. Unfortunately, the furniture is very uncomfortable... The bed was sagging and way too soft. Everyone in our party complained and sleep came at a minimum. Sofa was also too soft. Our backs were hurting from the poor furniture.

Wonderful Stay
We loved this rental. Our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 children) stayed here while we enjoyed a couple of days at Yosemite. We loved how spacious this home was, and it felt cozy. We cooked a couple of meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. If we ever go back to Yosemite we will definitely stay here again.

Nice proximity to Yosemite
This house is right on 140 on your way in through the Arch Rock entrance to Yosemite. Unless you are staying in the park, it seemed to be one of the closest options other than a big motel right at the entrance. The house was well equipped and although a little more rustic had everything we needed. There is some road work being done between the house and Yosemite when we were there and so some delays both on the way into the park and back as well as we could hear some trucks buzzing by throughout the night. Pretty quick drive into Mariposa where there is a grocery store and multiple restaurants.

Quaint and Roomy!
Our group (5 adults from 22 - 49) had plenty of room to be together or spread out at this quaint house. We arrived and the house was clean and welcoming. It is an older house; it has all the charm and quirky features that comes with a house of this age. It isn’t as fancy as some places but it lets you feel like you are at home. There are 3 bedrooms that are connected to each other but all bedrooms have a separate entrance. Two share a bathroom and the other (bunk bed room) has a bathroom across the hall. The bunk bed room and the middle room also share a door. The beds do squeak as others have posted but they are extremely comfy. Lots of extra pillows and blankets are throughout the house as are games and info about the area. The kitchen is roomy with plenty of space to make meals and eat on the go or to sit down together. Lots of storage; there are some ants but nothing too terrible. It is fully stocked with all the things to cook, some spices, and some helpful things to pack lunches. We needed a cooler to pack lunches for our day trips and one quick message had one brought to us. Our group was able to spread out all over the living room in the mornings for coffee or at the end of the day without feeling cramped or like we were on top of each other. The house is an hour from Yosemite Valley; we arrived by 10am each day and had less than a 5 minute wait. It was a perfect location for us!

Nice Rustic Rental
Lots of space and beds for the price! Big kitchen and living room, plenty of chairs. Lots of kitchen utensils and some food & spices in the cabinets. Layout is a little unusual with two bedrooms connected via sliding door. There is no true "master" either, as two bedrooms are connected to one bathroom and the other bathroom is across a hallway in the addition.

Yosemite trip
We loved our stay. The home is 1hr from Yosemite valley and convenient to Mariposa. We had dinner each night outside on the picnic table, which was a nice option to have. There are ants as other reviewers have mentioned, but it isn’t an issue if you keep opened food in the fridge. The beds were pretty squeaky. But the home met our needs and we really enjoyed our stay.

Cozy and comfortable
This is an older house that is very clean and comfortable. Nicely appointed kitchen and the living room is very comfortable. The BBQ grill and washer and dryer were very welcome. About 30min drive to Yosemite El Portal gate and another 30 min to the Valley. Local town of Mariposa is about 10 min away for groceries and such.

Nice property with 3 large bedrooms and a large kitchen. The house is about 10 minutes from Mariposa which has places to eat and a grocery store. The house is very close to Yosemite making it convenient for a visit to the park.
