About this property
Moon Ranch -Views, Hot Tub & more-Yosemite Gateway
☾ Moon Ranch Mariposa ☾, is an ELEGANT mountain house near Yosemite National Park. Set on 5 rolling acres. A short 6 min drive to the historic town of Mariposa. Nestled between majestic mountains and canyons. Views!! The location lends itself to ☀AMAZING Sunsets☀. One-story modern ranch house. Perfect basecamp to Yosemite, for a romantic getaway, family trip or weekend away with friends. A perfect spot if you want to immerse in nature and need a change of scenery.
✔Gorgeous views
✔Fully stocked chef's kitchen
✔Beautifully designed space
✔Hot Tub - Brand New 6 person
✔Outdoor living/dining
✔Outdoor gas fire bowl (seasonal only)
✔Family-friendly
The house offers a large bonus room for media, books, adult and kid games or taking in morning coffee by large view windows. There's a full-size desk. Strongest Wifi in the area with Mesh Network. Each room furnished with memory foam beds. The outdoor area is tranquil and set among the natural landscape that provides a perfect backdrop for beautiful sunsets.
You'll see some one-of-kind details, from the live-edge floating shelves and mantle, to the handmade iron sconces over the wood burning stove and the custom hanging soffit over the countertop. The bathroom wood vanity was hand-carved from a butcher block found in an antique shop in the central valley.
Need to accommodate more guests? Please message us to inquire about our carriage house listing coming soon. Located on the same property. This is a 5 acre property that used to serve as a horse ranch years ago. For this booking, you will have access to the entire main house and premises.
We give our guests privacy but are available by app, text, email or phone anytime. We take pride in providing our guests a great stay.
A lovely scenic drive into Yosemite National Park. Located in between the west gate and south gate. Just 33.9 miles to the park entrance and 45 miles to the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center from the west gate.
Mariposa, its name is Spanish for "butterfly", after the flocks of monarchs seen overwintering there by early explorers. The town of Mariposa, first settled in 1849, is the southernmost in the Gold Rush chain of towns. The streets follow the original street grid laid out by John C. Fremont in 1850. Several disastrous early fires convinced settlers to rebuild with stone, brick and adobe. Consequently, many of today's existing structures in the historic downtown had been built by the late eighteen fifties, with most of the remaining ones completed by nineteen hundred. Because they have always been in use, the old buildings haven't had to be restored or recreated.
Change has come gracefully to Mariposa. Mariposa has retained the small town charm of a bygone era, so you won't see strip malls or chain stores, and Mariposa remains one of a handful of California towns without a stop light.
Our property is a 6 minute drive into the historic town of Mariposa. You'll find a full service grocery store, a health food store, bars, ice cream shop, restaurants & diners, a museum, retail shops, wine shops, olive oil tasting room and even a community park and public pool. So much to explore in Mariposa!
For a hassle-free trip into Yosemite, consider using the park n' ride in town; YARTS, will take you into the park, no entry-fee required. Call to confirm service is operational during your time of travel.
-Accommodates up to 8 adults
-Being in the mountains you should expect spotty phone signals. Before arrival, consider contacting your mobile phone provider and ask Wifi Calling be switched on for better phone service. Otherwise iOS FaceTime could work.
-Landline available for emergencies and local calls only.

About the host
Hosted by Anh Tran
Like many, I fell in love with Yosemite as a kid. As an adult, after my first backpacking trip up Half Dome, I just knew I needed to connect even more with this magical place. Thus our home purchase. We put our hearts & souls into the design and layout of our home. Now, with 2 young kids, we all get to enjoy the wonders of Yosemite year round. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do, and that Yosemite's magic gets in your blood. We'd love to host you again and again :)
Why they chose this property
This beautiful home is uniquely designed and has a newly installed 6 person hot tub that takes full advantage of the gorgeous views. We are located in a gateway town to Yosemite National Park.
What makes this property unique
This is a 5 acre property that used to serve as a horse ranch years ago. For this booking, you will have access to the entire main house and full premises. Need to accommodate more guests? You can book the main house along with our carriage house that is located on the same property. Go to https://www.vrbo.com/2267796 for more information and to book. Note: The carriage house will NOT be booked by a separate party. If only the main house is booked the carriage house will remain vacant so you'll have access to the entire property.
