Happiness
Is a Yosemite Vacation
CLOSED because of Big OAK fire
Will re-open in late Summer 2023 in a whole new cabin - and all new furniture and decor.
A cute, very quiet, refurbished cottage in Mariposa hillside. Popular with visitors to Yosemite via main or south gates.
No gate passes required for Yosemite in 2023
Your own private small, but cute, two bedroom cottage on a big piece of property. Newly remodeled. All new allergy avoidance and Posturepedic mattresses, bedding, linens, cutlery and crockery, microwave and refrig.
Extremely quiet except for bird sounds as we are set back from the road. And sometimes the neighbors chickens or some wild turkeys. The cottage is the last building on the property, so it is very private and secure for your outdoor activities.
Max occupancy 4 + infant. Baby crib and high chair available.
Over 10 acres to roam and explore. Or read a book under the big oak tree or picnic down by the creek.
Pets welcome too but property is not fenced. Do expect to see deer, quail, wild turkey, etc.
And of course, fast Wifi and DISH TV. Big cedar and oak trees provide lots of shade in Summer, plus there is A/C for any really sweltering day. In winter there is central gas heating and you can even light up the wood burning stove fireplace.
Make this your own special home away from home.

Yes the cottage is small. But super comfy and the grounds are very large. All for less than you would pay for anything in the park or town.
Very safe and private.
Owner lives in nearby house on site to handle any of your needs or questions. The ultimate in personal service as we only have one guest house to manage. Plus we have been visiting Yosemite for over 35 years - I remember carrying a baby in backpack through a snowy meadow one winter. So do ask for advice on where to go and what to see. It changes by season.
House porch has full washer and dryer, but who wants to do laundry on vacation, even if it is free? And wait till you see the view. Or hike down to a picnic spot by the lake or river or the adjacent winery. And of course, eat outside under the trees on one of the decks.

Mariposa is the last real Central California town before Yosemite National Park's main west gate entrance via Highway 140. This is also best known as the all year round gate regardless of winter snow as it feeds straight into the valley floor without going over any 6000ft (2000m) peaks.
Adjacent to Butterfly Creek Winery, the biggest and best winery in the Sierra Foothills. Just wander down the lane and enjoy some good no fee tasting. Maybe even picnic by their river as a change from our creek.
Explore our trails, picnic at spots by the river, dream about what the pond could be, or simply sit under a big oak tree with your book or guitar.
Relax on one of the decks to watch the sunset views and wait for a magnificent clear sky for star gazing.
