Mariposa Ridge Retreat is a ten-acre hilltop home with stunning panoramic views of the seasonal snow capped peaks in Yosemite and the quaint village below. Located just 1.6 miles outside of the historic Gold mining County seat of Mariposa, the "Mother of California's Counties." We are 38 miles from Yosemite National Park, and just ten minutes from the untamed Merced River which winds along Highway 140 for 23 miles into the Park. One of the most scenic drives on the planet. Don't miss the river drive into YOSEMITE!
The home was built in 2005 and features a King Suite, a Queen bedroom and two full-size double beds in the third bedroom. Two full baths with a double-sized soaking tub in the Master bath. There is a 500 square foot deck with six foot circular HOT SPRINGS Spa overlooking the Mariposa Valley along with picnic table and barbecue. The water comes from a deep mountain well fed by year-round Sierra snowpack and is the sweetest you will ever drink! Roam the ten hilltop acres along with Deer and wild birds of every description.
Bring your clothes and food (linens and towels are provided) and come home to peaceful mountain air and escape the rat race below.

Wow, we were there in October. The views were beautiful; it snowed in the mountains and the town below looked like something from a fairytale. Mariposa Ridge Retreat was everything we wanted, Warm, cozy and quiet. A real treat. We will be back, that is for sure.

We had a great time visiting Yosemite with Mariposa Ridge Retreat as our base of operations. It was about a 50 minute drive into the valley from this very nice house for the money. Very comfortable, up-to-date, and well furnished with lots of space for our family of 5. Two minute drive into Mariposa where we found a very nice grocery store and nice restaurants (on a small road behind the Burger King). Very beautiful sunrises greeted us each morning from the house. Very quiet and private location. Although we did not have a chance to use it, busy with all the local activities, the owners should tout the beautiful, huge big tub in the master bath.

We had a great time and really enjoyed the house. It was cozy, was well stocked an has an amazing view. The only disappointment was that there is no fireplace and the TV is small and doesn't get a lot of channels. We would definitely stay there again.

This property is a great location. As advertised, the "Ridge Retreat" is serviceable and comfortable. We had a collective OHHH when we walked in. Our group of 6 was impressed w/ the furnishings, appointments, warmth and amenities. The view looking down in to Mariposa is "Gold Country" complete. We didn't all use the hot tub on account of the rain. We ate twice in town and had great food and we shopped at the market. Just about a mile below the MRR is the turn and relatively short drive in to and out of Yosemite. Our stay here was a great package and my contacts w/ the owner have all been pleasant. thnx

We really enjoyed our stay.Beautiful view from living room, 2 of the bedrooms and back deck. The kitchen is very nice and well equipped.We appreciated the comfy couch and recliners, great for watching DVD's and there are lots of lamps in the living room and bedrooms for reading.The drive from the house to Yosemite is a beautiful one. Getting to town is a quick trip and the grocery store has pretty much everything.We loved our winter visit and hope we can visit in the spring or summer.

Happy New Year

Our stay at the retreat over the New Year was relaxing, as we enjoyed the hot tub and the great kitchen. We saw deer and a bear walked over the hill behind the house. The air was clean and the water was delicious. We aren't used to clean water in the city. We emptied our own water bottles and took some home with us, it was great. My wife really enjoyed the comfortable beds and the great bubble bath. We love the little shops downtown and the old court house was really cool. The stars a night were really bright. We will come back again. thank you for the nice home.

Back home after a brilliant trip, and just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your Mariposa Ridge Retreat- it was a really wonderful holiday home, a perfect base for us to spend time in Yosemite-the drive in and back was no problem, and was more than compensated for by knowing we were headed back to all the comforts of "home"and to that great deck with its gorgeous tranquil views. You've provided everything we could have wished for and more-and we really appreciated your phone advice, especially re white water rafting-we had such a great day on the Tuolumne with Zephyr, and I'm sure we'd have missed that if we'd not booked ahead. We were happily surprised to find we could get pretty much anything we wanted in Mariposa, the Pioneer supermarket well exceeded expectations, and catered to all choices. all the best with future rentals-we've already recommended your house to friends!

We spent our family summer vacation in this Retreat and we wouldn't have been happier anywhere else. The home is beautiful! It's clean, private, large enough to fit all 7 of us, and the view is magnificent. It was great coming back to the house after a long day out; a home away from home. Thank you so much for opening up this home as a retreat, we are grateful!
