"We had a fantastic time!! The House was perfect for our group and the kids absolutely LOVED it here!"
*** As you may have heard in the news, Mariposa County recently suffered an incredibly large wildfire. Thankfully, the areas nearby, and surrounding this particular home (including the view!) are a great distance from the damage and were spared, as was the town of Mariposa and all of Yosemite National Park. Please rest assured that your choice to stay here would in no way be hampered by the affects of this tragic "Telegraph" fire. ~ August 5, 2008 ~
Secretly set near Yosemite National Park, this distinctly unique vacation home with a Hot Tub is set just just 4 miles outside the Gold Rush town of Mariposa and welcomes families and friends traveling together who are hoping to find that perfect place, close to Yosemite with plenty of personal touches, lots of room, a GREAT location and all the comforts of home.
The Little Lodge is a one-of-a-kind 1500 sq. ft. 2 ½ bedroom, 2 bath Cabin set amongst the giant trees on 7 secluded acres and is conveniently close to Yosemite, Mariposa, the Merced River Canyon and the legendary Gold Rush region along historic Hwy 49.
A relaxing, rustic retreat, The Lodge is comfortably furnished, has a fully equipped Country Kitchen with modern appliances and an awesome, sunken living room with large, stone, wood-burning fireplace, 20' redwood cathedral ceilings, Piano, and vast picture windows overlooking the forest and beyond.

The Little Lodge sits adjacent to the small mountain community of Midpines and while ideally located for enjoying all that Yosemite and its surrounding areas have to offer, it is also perfect for folks keen on being able to just sit back, relax and enjoy themselves in their own peaceful, private paradise (and never encounter the tourists!).
When vacationing at The Little Lodge, you’ll avoid both the crowds AND the traffic and yet Yosemite National Park is only a 28 mile drive away via the beautiful “all weather highway” which meanders through the Wild and Scenic Merced River Canyon.
The Merced River Recreation Area at Briceburg is just 8 miles away and has small, sandy beaches just perfect for picnics, wading, and summertime swimming. The river is also great for fishing, hiking, camping, wild life viewing, and for the even more adventurous, white-water rafting and kayaking. There are several commercial rafters who provide trips down portions of the river.
Guests can easily enjoy Yosemite's south entrance too which is up Hwy. 41, outside of Oakhurst. Traveling that direction you’ll find things to see and do such as the world famous Mariposa Grove’s Giant Sequoias, Goat Meadow Winter Sports Area where you can let the kids play and sled in the snow, beautiful Bass Lake with it's water sports, beaches and restaurants and the historic Sugar Pine Railroad adventure, just to name a few.
Located at 3000‘ in elevation, The Lodge does get an occasional yet manageable amount of snow without causing difficult access or travel. There are great hills for sledding and incredible, peek-a-boo views of the distant snow capped trees and mountains beyond.
