About this property

Yosemite Pines Retreat – Mini Ponies, Huge Yard, Spa, Pool & Play Area!

Welcome to Yosemite Pines Retreat in the Woods
Come play, unwind, and explore Yosemite—all while staying at this peaceful, ranch-style mountain retreat.

Nestled among towering, 100+ year-old ponderosa pines, Yosemite Pines Retreat offers a serene setting perfect for reconnecting with nature and loved ones. Whether you’re planning a fun family getaway or a romantic escape, this property has something for everyone.

Nature, Play & Relaxation All in One Place
Enjoy visits from deer, bunnies, and wild turkeys as you sip your morning coffee. Relax in the heavenly garden, gather around the fire pit for s’mores under a sky full of stars, take a dip in the above-ground pool (open May–September), soak in the spa, or challenge your group to a lively game of ping-pong or horseshoes.

For the little ones, there’s a custom two-story playhouse complete with swings, a slide, and a climbing wall (110 lb weight limit). And yes — there are miniature ponies! Friendly and gentle, they live just steps from the house and love visitors.

Comfortable Living for Groups or Couples
The home features 1,600 sq. ft. of living space with 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a fully equipped laundry room. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests.

Inside, you’ll find all the essentials: linens, towels, paper products, soaps, and cleaning supplies. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and dining, and the dining table seats eight comfortably for shared meals and conversation.

Perfectly Located for Yosemite Adventures
Yosemite Pines Retreat is your gateway to adventure:
• 37 miles to Yosemite’s Arch Rock Entrance (via Hwy 140) — our recommended route to the Valley Floor
• 33 miles to the South Gate entrance (Hwy 41)
• 30 minutes to Bass Lake — perfect for fishing, boating, water sports, and warm summer swims
• 15 minutes to downtown Mariposa and 20 minutes to Oakhurst
• Less than 1 mile from a local diner, convenience store, and gas station

You can hike Yosemite’s iconic trails (including Half Dome), go white-water rafting on the Merced River, fish, bike, or explore nearby museums, galleries, and live music at the Mariposa Art Park in summer.

Whether you’re chasing adventure or relaxation, Yosemite Pines Retreat is a quiet haven that brings you close to it all—while offering peace, privacy, and plenty of charm.

This was a perfect home base for our activities at Yosemite. After hiking and adventuring, we were able to come back here, relax, and spend quality time soaking in the quiet and serenity of the rural location. We hope to return for another adventure, soon!

The Yosemite Pines Retreat was excellent for our family of 6! Beth was a friendly, responsive hostess. The kitchen is well-stocked with any utensil you may need. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, cornhole, ping-pong were all used every day! It was the perfect retreat after long hiking days. Downtown Mariposa is charming and we ate at some great restaurants!

Spacious and peaceful property, just 15 minutes from town—so plan ahead. The host was friendly and responsive when we needed anything. A few minor issues kept it from being a 5-star, but overall we had a great time. Our girls especially loved the pool and warm pool—they could’ve stayed in it all day!

Amazingly Clean!

One of the cleanest properties I have ever stayed at! It smelled fresh and clean the second we stepped through the front door. It is a spacious home with lots of room to spread out both inside and out. The kids loved the pool! You have everything you need in a very workable and well-stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay there and hope to stay there again in the years to come.

This Place Hits All the Marks

This is definitely one of the very best vacation homes we've stayed at. The home is tastefully appointed throughout... and didn't lack for anything. Even so, the best part was the exterior decks and the beautiful views. Beth, our host, personally greeted us upon arrival which we found quite welcoming.

Disliked: Listing accuracy

Was extremely dissatisfied with how horrible the air conditioner was, would not go below like 69 and even then did not cool the house whatsoever. Also, the picture of the pool on the listing was NOT the pool actually at the house. When I asked the owner about this, they stated that the pool had been changed out. If this is the case, then update the listing to show this. Another thing is this listing showed to be around 30 minutes from Yosemite national Park, but that is a blatant lie and the actual entrance to Yosemite is about an hour away. One of the sinks in the master bathroom does not work. The one big plus and good thing about this day was the sweet cat that lives out under the front porch.

Fantastic Home for a Family vacation!

This is a really cute and fully equipped place for a family to stay. It is super clean, has everything you need and want and Beth is fantastic with her communication and responsiveness. The only thing to be aware is that it is at least a 45mins to an hour plus drive to the Yosemite National Park. But Mariposa is a cute little town and you definitely get some quiet family fun time! Highly recommend staying here. Sid and family.

An amazing space and beautiful getaway

What a private and truly rural spot. However, this home has all the amenities you need. It’s just an hour to Yosemite and is such a beautiful drive that you won’t mind it. We don’t have young children but admired the set up for them. The jacuzzi was so needed after hiking upper Yosemite falls and that sky was priceless!! The stars were stunning and awe inspiring. There is a very friendly cat named Eddie who greets you and you likely will see the family of deer that sneak around. It’s just a lovely experience. Thank you for allowing us to share such a peaceful space.

Beth and the place were great.

We stayed for 3 days and went to Yosemite. From the house to the Valley Visitor Center was about an hour and a half. To Mariposa Grove was about an hour. Beth met us the first day we arrive and provided us with tips and advice on what to do in Yosemite. She was great and the advice was as well. The hot tub was nice to come back to after a long day of hiking. The house was clean and the whole family slept great (all the beds were super comfortable). We would come here again in a heartbeat.

Kinda funky

Kitchen well equipped to serve and cook for 6. We were missing a baking sheet, but Beth ran over with one in minutes! Did not like square dining table that was pub height. Main bedroom only had an armoire - no closet. No wood- burning fireplace use allowed. Recliners on main sofa mostly non functioning. Property is an older modular home, floors very uneven and the home, while has some upgrades, had evidence of needed repairs/maintenance. Several items were somewhat dangerous - slippery shower floor and very slippery deck when icy. The area is a bit remote - 15 minutes from a town - but lovely. Had a great trip.

Memorial Day adventure to Yosemite!

Beth, the host, was so accommodating and helpful! The house is cute and really well stocked, the view is lovely but the farm animals were a our favorites! We had a blue heron in the front yard each morning and the little blue eyed Siamese cat was the sweetest cat I have even been around. We cooked the first two nights and went to the ramen restaurant in Mariposa for the 3rd night. Great kitchen to cook in! The drive into Yosemite is right at an hour and it is just gorgeous. The closest entrance we used (two or three turns from the house) never had more than a 5 minute wait and we went early one morning but around 10 a.m. the next morning. We thought it would be chaotic over Memorial Day but it was a breeze. Yosemite is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and I've been to 80% of the National parks. Great house, great area, great host! I would highly recommend and I hope we can get back there in the next few years.
