The Creek House Near Yosemite

The Creek House is a 1068 sq foot home. All new construction. Situated in the Oak trees and 8 acres of private land in Midpines, California. A Yosemite Gateway community. We have two seasonal creeks and one year round creek on the property. 2.3 miles up a paved road from the all year Yosemite Highway 140. It offers a quiet setting and some privacy. The property backs to 12 acres of BLM land for a total of 20 acres to roam.

The house is a 2 bedroom 2 full bath. With a pull out bed in the living room. A full kitchen compliments the floor layout. French doors open to the living room where you are greeted by high ceilings and a layout that gives a feeling of spaciousness. A large sliding patio door opens to a private patio and outdoor tables and a Weber BBQ. The bedrooms are situated at opposite ends of the house. Brand new queen size beds greet you for a comfortable night’s sleep. The Master bedroom has its own private and large full bathroom. The Master bedroom also has its own small patio and sliding patio door. The second bedroom is situated right next to the other full bathroom. Both bedrooms have independent air conditioning and heat control and ceiling fans. The living room has a 40 inch flat screen TV with Roku. Two comfortable couches and a lounge chair. Independent AC/Heating controls and a ceiling fan. Tile floors in the bathrooms and beautiful laminate floors throughout the rest of the house bring a sense of relaxation. The Kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, culinary knife set, cutting boards, blender, toaster, and all you needed to prepare a hearty meal. There’s roasted coffee, teas and sugar. The pantry has cooking oil, olive oil, and colorful cookbooks. A spice rack rounds out the kitchen. Plenty of free parking. Outside lights and security lighting. Free WIFI is also included, however we are in a rural area and we don't guarantee the WIFI’s speed and connectivity. We get a Verizon signal at The Creek House.

We are 15 minutes from the historic town of Mariposa. The Merced river is a 10 minute drive. Fishing, swimming, rafting, and relaxing await. We are a 40 minute drive to the Yosemite National Park entrance and 60 minutes drive to the Yosemite Valley. The drive follow's the beautiful Merced River, so please make extra time for photo ops. There is also bus service from the Midpines area to Yosemite.

We look forward to your stay at The Creek House. The Wild Turkey's, Deer, Quail, Hawks, and countless other species await. Sip your Coffee in the morning and listen to the breeze blow through the trees.

Thank you. Dean and Angie

Simply wonderful!
We absolutely loved this cabin. The location was convenient for visiting Yosemite to start. In addition, the cabin was ideal for our needs. The beds were VERY comfortable. Communication with the hosts was done by text and everything went well. The cabin was very well stocked and VERY clean. We would happily stay again.

Great base home when visiting Yosemite National Park!
Very clean and comfortable 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. Kitchen was easy to cook meals and well stocked. Had many pantry extras that I appreciated. Bed was comfortable and bathroom large with a good hot shower. About 40 minutes to the Arch Rock entrance with a beautiful drive. Grocery store was about 15 minutes away. Hosts were very responsive and generous. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if ever in the area.

Very clean, quiet, and all necessities were provided with the home. We only had to provide food.
We really enjoyed staying at the creek house. It was secluded away from noise and people. It was about one hour and 15 minutes from Yosemite. All cooking utensils were provided and all needs and bathrooms were provided. We essentially arrived and were able to live comfortably immediately. Thank you for allowing us to stay there.

Wonderful little hide away!
Deer and bunnies visiting our front yard each morning. We took some long time friends who had never been to Yosemite. This house was a perfect place to enjoy the times we weren't in the park. Two large bedrooms and bathrooms, perfect for two couples. A well-appointed kitchen with everything we needed including a rice cooker and electric skillet. We would definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Wonderful stay
Creek House was in a good location with plenty of amenities nearby. Kitchen fully equipped and bed very comfortable. Rest of the space was furnished to a high standard including a welcomed air conditioning unit and washer/dryer. All areas were extremely clean. We enjoyed our trips to Yosemite which was within a commutable distance from the property. Hiking was excellent and the views were amazing. The weather was kind to us too with mainly hot & dry days and warm nights. The main reason for staying in Midpines was to access the Park and we weren't disappointed with the accommodation, it surpassed all our expectations. Communication between ourselves and Dean & Angie was good and they greeted us with a few treats for our stay….. thanks. Definitely recommend this property and hopefully will return one day.

Great place for exploring Yosemite
If you are looking for a comfortable place near to but outside Yosemite national Park, this is a great option. The house was clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. My family had a wonderful, comfortable time here as we spent a few days at Yosemite. I would highly recommend this to anyone, especially families. The beds were comfortable, the showers were great, the air-conditioning units did a great job, and the local coffee in the refrigerator was excellent. It took us a while to figure out the washing machine but once we did it also served it’s purpose very well. Stay here. You will not regret it.

lovely property BUT.......
The location and the home were very good. Only issue giving this stay a poor rating was the water from the faucets. The water was brown with visible sediment which would settle in the glass etc after a few minutes. Even the ice was brown.We had to buy bottled water for drinking, cooking etc.... something we don't normally like to purchase.When showering we didn't know if the brown on the washcloth was due to dirt from hiking or what was coming out of the showerhead. To me this water was/is a health hazard and and the property should not be allowed to rented if this condition occurs regularly or not until the problem is corrected. If we had known that there was a possibility of this happening we would not have rented this home.

Clean, comfy house with easy access to Yosemite
The property was just as advertised and described. It was immaculately clean and well stocked and all appliances were in working condition. The house & furniture were very comfortable. You can even catch a decent sunset from the hill in the backyard. Most people in this area are here for Yosemite. And you certainly don't want to miss it. But don't forget there are lots of non Yosemite places to go if you want some relief from the crowds in Yosemite Valley. We went on short hikes from various river access points like the Merced River Recreation area in Briceburg and Bagby Recreation area Lake McClure where we spent a lovely Sunday and saw only two other people. Usually we go to Forest Service road areas but so many are closed this year that I decided to expand my search for less heavily used locations. We were surprised & thrilled that Glacier Point rd opened the Friday while we were there. We spent a great day up there mostly around Sentinel Dome but around on the right side where you get a full on view of half dome. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get there. On Wednesday we saw a huge backup at the left turn from Yosemite onto the road to Wawona and Glacier Point. We also were held up for about 30 minutes from construction when we were entering the park, just after the pay station. However on Friday it was clear and no construction was going on so it made for an easier trip. Anyway, back to the house & property. It was a great spot to just hang out in the yard or on the lawn furniture. The internet all over that part of CA isn't great in terms of speed. But most people don't go to Yosemite for internet access so I just went outside. Mariposa is an easy drive and nice town with plenty of shopping available. That's where we bought groceries. Personally I prefer Midpines/Mariposa to the Wawona side and prefer coming in on 140. The owner, Dean, was great to deal with. There was excellent communication and whenever I had a question he responded almost immediately. It was always a pleasure coming back to the house after a long day of activity. Only wish we could have stayed longer. I've never been out there in the spring and the wildflowers everywhere were amazing. And the crowds are less than during the summer & school vacations. It's always busy but this summer should be interesting as you need to have a reservation to get into the park. If you go this place makes a great base!

Has everything you need to have a great time
The property is very clean, quiet, and has everything you need. The owners are very nice and very responsive to questions. I will text any random question and will hear back typically within minutes. They are also very attentive to details. Using bbq as an example, they of course have a bbq grill, bbq tools, and charcoal ready, but in addition, they will have newpaper cut to right size to help with lighting the charcoal. I wish the internet was faster, but that's a lot to ask for such a remote location. In summary, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely stay same place next time.

Nice and clean worked for 6 guests
Dean and Angie were great in that they accommodated a rebook a year later as our original booking was in the midst of the ‘18 fire there in Yosemite. The house is nice but it is a drive to get to stuff in Yosemite so make sure you ‘really’ account for that travel time lost daily as you’ll want to get into the park early as it crowds quickly (parking issues). Typical trip times if you are cruising at above the speed limit and not getting held up with construction or slower cars: 1hr 20mins to Yosemite Falls, 2hrs+ to Glacier Point, 1hr 30mins to Mariposa Grove (Giant Sequoias). Nothing to complain about other than to note there really is no cellular service there (I think maybe some Verizon connection but we don’t have that). We assumed we’d have some connectivity to do daily trip planning on our iPads but no ATT connection and the WiFi provided was hit and miss at best and verrrry slow (can I say ‘you got mail’). So we struggled a bit as we were trying to adjust pre-planned activities and couldn’t really look anything up online. Was able to make one phone call via WiFi calling but generally wouldn’t work. There really is no TV service there also (roku) as the internet isn’t sufficient. They do however have a DVD player with selection of movies which we used to keep the young ones entertained while packing daily and such. Nice house for those wanting something more than a hotel so you can cook meals and be all together as a family. Kids got to see turkeys walking behind the house the first morning we were waking up and they enjoyed that! Thank you for the stay Dean and Angie!

The property was nice
The smoke was so heavy everywhere we went that it was hard to breathe, pictures didn't turn out and we had to go hours out of the way because the road we needed to take was closed due to forest fires. Wish we had never booked it.
