About the host

Hosted by Tchukon Shanks

Host profile image
I am currently living in Mariposa near Yosemite. A breath taking area as many of you know. I was trained as a tradtional french chef. Some of my interests involve horseback riding, hiking, juicing, Scottish Highlander Cattle and off roading.

Why they chose this property

My father was traveling to Yosemite and made a wrong turn ... or should we say right turn. He found the area so charming that he called a real estate company and returned the following month to check out properties. He feel in love with this log cabin and the rest is history.

What makes this property unique

Located on eleven acres this cabin gives you plenty of privacy with all the comforts and style you would expect from a modern lifestyle.
