Why they chose this property

When I first visited Mariposa it had an allure to it that was hard to ignore. I am a very outdoorsy person so when I got to experience all that the area had to offer I had to find a place of my own. I wanted to find the balance between being close to town while also not sacrificing privacy or closeness to nature. This is when Half Dome Hideout was born! To me this house strikes a great balance and I am happy to share the house when I am not using it for me or my family! I hope you enjoy it has much as I have!

What makes this property unique

-Close to town while being private
-In the truly unique town of Mariposa where you get to experience small businesses and not national changes.
-Spacious, open, and airy
-Perfect for families
