Mariposa Yosemite

"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 unique and spacious bedrooms also have wonderful views to the surrounding trees and mountains. The Master Bedroom has a King size bed, a sitting/reading area and a lovely daybed with trundle -a family of up to four can comfortably stay in this room. There is a small private patio area off this room as well which also offers easy wheelchair access, the kitchen and full bathroom are also on this same level.

The upstairs bedroom also has a King size bed as well as a loveseat, it's own full bath and separate Satellite receiver, TV, and DVD/VCR player. There are vaulted ceilings with skylights, a twin size bed in the “Nook” half-bedroom and a twin-sleeper in the loveseat making it large enough for a family of four as well. The "nook" is a small room off this bedroom, great for kids! There is a Queen size sleeper sofa and an Aero bed in the living room for additional guests, if needed.

We welcome and encourage families with young children and offer the use of a variety of baby/child items. We have gates, highchair, booster seat, crib/porta-crib, stroller, books and toys and the home is exceptionally child friendly as well as thoughtfully baby-proofed.

There is a large, open, courtyard area that is complete with Badminton and swing set, kid's playhouse & slide, a seasonal campfire pit surrounded by an abundance of old growth, fruit bearing trees. If you're traveling with older children that need room to explore then this is the place to be. There is plenty of room to roam, a separate satellite TV/DVD, hills to climb and games to play.

We now invite you to come and wind your way up to this secret hideaway and enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of local wine outside on the brick patio while enjoying the sunset through the trees. Take a short hike around the property or simply relax in front of the fire or in the open-air Hot Tub, the possibilities are endless here in this exceptionally clean, easy to find, well-appointed retreat.

*** LOCATION ***

4 hours from Los Angeles

2.5 hours from the Greater SF Bay Area/San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento and San Jose International Airports

1 hour from Fresno International Airport

25 minutes from Yosemite National Park

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.

NOTE: When planning your itinerary, please keep in mind that we tend to book up well in advance. First Paid is first booked so please CALL to reserve.

  • Many of our guests claim that once they’ve been to Yosemite, they simply want to stay put, basking in the beauty and seclusion here without ever having to leave the property. Yosemite is so close, and yet so far…. The array of activities on and around this delightful property is impressive! Hike the grounds and discover relics left behind by the 49er miners or simply meander through acre upon acre of giant, trees. Enjoy nearby Fishing, Bird Watching(!), Gold Panning, Skiing, Cross Country Skiing and sledding as well as great local wine tasting and Golf. Come and see why guests often schedule their return visit even before they've left... "Thank you so very much for enabling all of us to be together in this lovely setting. The accommodations were superb! It was the perfect location from which to launch our exploration of Yosemite and it's surroundings." Kentucky 6/06
