About this property

Family Friendly Farm Stay Near Yosemite

Bring the kids and experience a farm stay they’ll never forget.

Located just 36 miles from Yosemite National Park and 26 miles from Bass Lake, our charming farmhouse sits on 10 private woodland acres in beautiful Mariposa. This is more than a place to sleep — it’s a hands-on farm experience designed to slow down, explore, and make lasting family memories.

Children absolutely love meeting our friendly miniature donkeys, sheep, goats, emus, and water buffalo. As a working farm, guests are welcome to interact with many of the animals, creating the kind of moments you just can’t get in the city. It’s common to see deer wandering through the property, adding to the magic of the mountain setting.

There’s plenty of room for kids to run, explore, and play across all 10 acres. Let them unplug, breathe fresh air, and experience nature up close while you relax and take in the beautiful mountain views.

After a day exploring Yosemite or swimming at Bass Lake, gather around the seasonal fire pit (firewood provided) and enjoy stories, s’mores, and star-filled skies. With little light pollution, the stargazing here is incredible.

Our home is located at the top of the property, giving you privacy while we remain nearby and available if you need anything during your stay. We love sharing our farm and helping families create meaningful, joyful experiences.

Whether you’re hiking in Yosemite, boating at Bass Lake, or simply looking for a peaceful escape where your kids can meet donkeys and roam free, our farm stay offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation.

Come explore Yosemite — and give your kids a farm experience they’ll be talking about long after the vacation ends.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What a fun farm to stay at! Donkeys, water buffalo, emus, guinea and some more common animals. Wade took us around with his four wheeler! Cabin itself is peaceful, comfortable beds, otherwise simple. The grill was great. Entrance to El Portal entrance of Yosemite was about a one-hour drive.

It is definitely a farm house with cute donkeys greeting us as we pulled in. I heard meowing too and sweet sweet Orangie (photos) is the most loving and friendly cat you will ever meet. He has a part of my heart after this trip. Please pet him, he’s very soft and just gives unconditional love. Doby(?) the big white dog is the protector of the animals on the farm. Friendly and sweet as well! They have a washer & dryer with soap and dryer sheets to use which was a plus for us. The only AC is in the window of the living room which works great but if you use the ceiling fans and open windows at night, we slept comfortably. It was hot days too. Hosts are very friendly and quick communication. Thank you so much! We loved the animals that surrounded us! Great place to take your kids.

Most hospitable family and farm experience. Close proximity to Yosemite for hiking and sightseeing. Comfortable home with everything you could ask for and more, immersed in nature. Trails, farm animals, a personal atv tour of the area from our host Wade and sunset by the blazing fire pit under the old oak tree. Pure serenity and peace. We will return for sure! Loved it.

Great time and perfect for our family (2 adults and 4 elementary aged kids). Proximity to Yosemite was why we chose it, but the farm animals were a great added bonus and lots of fun for the kids.

Great place to stay as a base for Yosemite. Booked for a family trip during spring break with my adult and teenage kids. The main room was nice and open, lots of light and a whole house fan helped cool the place down when needed. Was able to cook several meals with the provided items in the kitchen, no in sink garbage disposal so food scraps have to go in trash. Everything was as advertised, nice quiet spot to relax in between treks. Also the farm animals (mainly donkeys) gave it an extra cozy feel. Host was very friendly, made sure we didn't have any issues and gave us more info on the animals. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
