Grinning Simmba: Yosemite Vaulted Retreat & EV Chg

Imagine sipping your first cup of coffee on the deck as the sun climbs over the mountains, golden light filtering through the pines — not a single thing you have to be, do, or rush to. After a day of exploring, unwind by the grill as the Milky Way emerges over the pines. Pure in historic Groveland, this mountain home is your basecamp for Yosemite, Don Pedro Lake, and Stanislaus National Forest—all minutes away.

Step inside to a warm, inviting retreat with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms — comfortably sleeping up to 10 guests. The fully equipped kitchen means you can cook your own mountain meals, while the open living area is perfect for gathering after a long day on the trails.

The moment you walk in, you are greeted by the home’s signature feature: soaring high ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace that anchors the expansive Great Room. The open-concept design and abundant natural light create an airy, modern atmosphere that feels both grand and inviting.
