Your Gold Country Stargazing Retreat Awaits - Mariposa Vacation Rental in Yosemite Area Conveniently located on Highway 49 in California's Gold Country, on a historic parcel know as Trabucco Gardens. During the Gold Rush days, Trabucco Gardens was a parcel of land cultivated as a vegetable garden, while Forty-Niners discovered gold in the area. The historic rock walls on property mark the perimeter where the garden once grew. The joy of discovery continues here today. Now you can discover the vast riches our universe has to offer. Trabucco Gardens, located on 17 private acres, provides you with a grand opportunity to stargaze in privacy using high-end, easy-to-use instruments. The robotic GO-TO telescopes are provided during your stay, and are included in the rental cost. This open, unincorporated stretch of Highway 49, which is considered "above the fog and below the snow", provides you with many clear night opportunities, even in winter. The Trabucco Gardens House, newly constructed in 2007, is well appointed and available year round. The charming and historic small town of Bear Valley is 1/2 mile North on Highway 49. Mariposa, the county seat, which is 10 miles South, has many essential services, along with many wonderful, dining, shopping, and historic sight-seeing experiences. Yosemite National Park's West entrance is located about 45 minutes away up Highway 140 from Mariposa. We provide housekeeping service (not daily maid service), before and after your stay. Complimentary coffee, tea, hot cocoa, microwave popcorn, and guest soaps are also provided. Personal key code access provides you with convenience and security. Along with a fold-away sofa bed in the living room, a queen-sized inflatable Aero-Bed is provided for extra sleeping accommodations. Because of the rural nature of the area, there is abundant opportunity for wildlife sightings, such as mule deer, wild turkey, coyote, bobcat, falcon, and perhaps an occasional bear. Seasonal creeks at the North and South ends of the property flow during winter and spring. Make sure to leave some time in your schedule during your stay for stargazing too. Using the telescopes, beautiful views of the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Cluster, and many other deep sky objects are yours to behold. The telescopes offer a TOUR mode, which takes you to the best and brightest objects in the sky during your stay. Stargazing doesn't get any easier than this. What on EARTH are you waiting for? Go mining in the INFINITE FRONTIER! An inspiring adventure of discovery for the young and the young-at-heart is here at Trabucco Gardens.
