About this property
Cozy Cottage Retreat, Close to Yosemite, Beautiful Views, Hot Tub & More!
This charming private cottage with beautiful views of the mountains is a great getaway for a couple or small family to relax and explore. You'll enjoy the private "country" setting and the proximity to the several Gold Rush towns of the Mariposa area. Just over an hour, through our "Wild and Scenic" Merced River Canyon, is Yosemite National Park. Our home is a great place to make memories, and a local professional photographer is available to capture them.
This cottage has a 1 bedroom with a full loft, which looks out through the large 2 story windows to the mountains. There is a fully stocked kitchen with all modern appliances. We offer basic spices, coffee and tea.
During the cold months, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine or hot cup of chocolate snuggled up to the wood burning stove. The wood for the stove is always fully stocked. It is close to the Badger Pass winter sports area and ice skating in the park and Tenaya Lodge. We offer his and hers snowshoes and snow sleds for a fun day in the snow.
The bedroom and loft are appointed with comfortable queen beds and a sofa that turns into a very comfortable double bed (There are reviews verifying the comfort of the bed.). The towels and linens are high quality soft cotton. The loft has a comfortable sitting area to read and relax. The library provides a wide variety of books, games and puzzles.
From the living area you can walk out onto the private deck with seating for 6+, a gas grill and a hot tub. The hot tub is right off the deck, which you can relax and soak up the incredible view of the sierras or star gaze in the evening.
All year we provide a herb garden and in the summer we grow yummy tomatoes for the guests to enjoy.
We also have a beautiful home on the same property, which is private and separate from the cottage. The home can be rented with the cottage for a big get together. To view the home please see 779053.

Excellent cottage not far from downtown Mariposa and about an hour away from the door steps of yosemite national park. The rental has all needed amenities and the hot tub was situated in a perfect place which made it feel completely isolated.
Amazing cabin! Super cozy with such a beautiful view! The hot tub was absolutely perfect as well as the hosts. They were very friendly and helped us with any questions that we had.
Our stay here was just perfect. The cottage was comfortable and felt like home away from home. It was such a cold visit so we enjoyed the wood burning stove nightly as well as the hottub. It was the perfect base for traveling to Yosemite. We saw deer, bluejays, and other wildlife in the nearby yard. It was just lovely.
My wife and I had a fantastic stay. Susan was kind enough to allow us to use the washer at the larger rental property on site with nobody renting. The place was beautiful and private. The hot tub and view of the mountains was wonderful as well.
It was the perfect place for us to rest and relax. We loved the quietness, hot tub, general layout and view of the hills through the south windows and deck. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials. We hope to be back to enjoy it with another couple.
This cottage was the perfect retreat for our long weekend getaway and trip to Yosemite. Susan was super friendly and welcoming and met us on the property. The house was tastefully and comfortably furnished, kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfortable, and hot tub was wonderful!
It was more remote than planned, but was very comfortable and well appointed. We were out hiking during the day, so a good place to land in the evenings
Check in was easy and property was advertised . Had a great time going to Yosemite and relaxing at night in jacuzzi . Cozy place and hosts were communicative . Overall great place !
Everything was sooo beautiful! The living space was very cozy and comfortable. The loft was especially cozy. The kitchen was nice and easy to navigate. The back patio was so beautiful, with the view of the wooded hills. The hot tub was very relaxing, especially at night under the stars. The stars shine so bright out there compared to our home on the crowded east coast. Everything was just so nice and relaxing, a perfect honeymoon experience!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay (we especially enjoyed the clear skies and stargazing from the hot tub)- thank you for hosting us!

About the host
Hosted by Brian & Susan Hunter
Living so close to Yosemite we wanted to share such a beautiful and peaceful place with others and so we purchase this charming cottage. We have traveled all over the US, Mexico and Europe and feel fortunate to call Mariposa our home.
Why they chose this property
This is a perfect secluded location just minutes from downtown Mariposa and a short drive into Yosemite Park through Scenic Merced River Canyon. You can sit and lounge on the deck and enjoy the views and wildlife. Sit in the hot tub at night after a day of hiking in the park and enjoy the stars. During the winter time, you can snuggle on the couch and enjoy a fire in the wood stove.
