When the time came for a reunion with friends we were looking for the perfect place to accommodate everyone’s needs and desires (not always an easy task for six adults). We found it. A beautiful designer home in the midst of the Yosemite Park wilderness. This location really is an amazing blend of top of the line accommodations, including state of the art audio and video, big fully equipped kitchen, lovely interior décor, and a huge tempting deck, with views of mountains and forest, and the soothing sounds of a nearby creek; several times we shared a meal out there to enjoy the aroma of fresh air and bear clover. One evening we all joined around a campfire in the property’s backyard fire pit to laugh and enjoy the night.
During the day there were a ton of things to do. A nearby swimming hole was enjoyed by all of us. One day the group split up, and some went to play golf at the nearby Wawona course, while others of us decided to climb to the top of Mount Raymond, as we were curious about the peak we were looking at from the deck. The sweeping view from up there is breathtaking. On the way up we parked at the Mariposa Grove and big trees, about a 20 minute drive from the house. The owners had very thoughtfully even included a library, and I ended up finding and reading a book that I really enjoyed; one of life’s little pleasures.
If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, and where your hardest decision will be whether to get out and enjoy the park or stay in and enjoy the house and grounds, this may very well be the place for you.
