About this property

Hidden Treasure on the way to Yosemite Valley full of Native American History

Tenaya's Retreat is tucked away in Midpines directly on the route to Yosemite Valley! We welcome you to our Family Retreat. We chose the name Tenaya's Retreat after Chief Tenaya. He was the last chief of our tribe known as the Ahwahneechees, Yosemite Indians. On the walls are pictures of our ancestors going back six generations, along with a picture of our mother, Princess Tenaya with Cheif LeeMee. This property was given to our Great-Great Grandmother Tu-Tu-Ya (foaming water) or Maira Lebrado in 1892 from her husband. Unfortunately she lost the property for unpaid taxes (so they say). However in 2016 our sister was able to get the property back into our family. We hope you enjoy your stay and find beauty and serenity here like our ancestors.

When you arrive at the home you will immediately feel welcomed by the peacefulness of the surroundings. The front door enters into a living room with a large couch for relaxing along with a flat screen tv and the historic wall of our honored ancestors. Past the living room is a large fully stocked kitchen, with everything you would need for your stay and a cute breakfast nook! Directly out the door of the kitchen is a private patio with an outdoor dining set and a BBQ. The house has 3 bedrooms, with tv's in each bedroom, and 2 bathrooms. This is a perfect house for traveling with family or friends. Its just a short drive to Yosemite. Yosemite's park gate is about 20 miles from the house. This is a perfect location to come home to, after a day in the park, to relax and BBQ!! The town of Mariposa is only 7 miles away, where there is a large grocery store, gas stations, boutique shopping and many excellent restaurants.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
