Yosemite Pines Retreat, Miniature ponies! Huge Yard! SPA, Pool, and PLAY AREA

Come play, unwind, and visit Yosemite all while staying at the Yosemite Pines Retreat in the Woods located.. This ranch style vacation home is perfectly situated amongst a peaceful and serene setting in the mountains.

The Yosemite Pines Retreat is the perfect place to come and enjoy!

During your stay you will be able to enjoy nature with views of 100 + year old ponderosa pines, deer, bunnies, and wild turkeys. You may choose to meditate and sit in the heavenly garden while listening to the tranquil garden water fountain, or play a lively game of horseshoes, make some smores at the fire pit and enjoy the view of the milky way from the spa! Or even play a game of ping-pong! For the little ones we have a play set, that is a two story playhouse with swings, a slide, and even a climbing wall! (playset does have a 110 pound weight limit) We also offer an above ground pool which is open during the summer please NOTE that the pool is closed from Oct 2nd through April 30th

Yes, there's ponies!
If you like spending time in nature with animals the owner has docile and friendly miniature ponies. That are just mere steps away from the house for you to enjoy a visit with.

Whatever you choose to do it is guaranteed that you will enjoy the many amenities that Yosemite Pines Retreat offers.

Featuring a roughly 1,600 sq. ft. home of living space, 3 spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a fully equipped laundry room. This home is a perfect secluded retreat for a large group (housing up to 8) or a quiet romantic getaway for two. Linens, bedding, towels, paper goods, trash bags, dish washing and dishwasher soap and hand soap are all provided. The kitchen is fully equipped, with attention to detail, and has everything you'll need to prepare and serve your meals. The dining table seats 8 people comfortably.

This quiet property is ideally located allowing guests to partake in all the outdoor activities the Yosemite area has to offer. You can hike all of Yosemite's trails including Half Dome, white water raft on the Merced River, fish, mountain bike, walk along the Merced River, swim and boat at Bass Lake, and enjoy walks and hikes in the Mariposa area. Downtown Mariposa also has concerts in the local Art Park every summer weekend and has art galleries and museums for you to enjoy. Whether you are here as a family or after a quiet getaway, you will be able to enjoy the abundance of activities all easily accessed from our Retreat.

The Retreat is 37 miles to the hwy 140 Arch rock entrance to Yosemite, and 33 miles to the south gate Highway 41 entrance I alway suggest to my guest when visiting the valley floor to use the Hwy 140 entrance. the lodge is also a 30 minutes to Bass Lake, which is renowned for excellent fishing, hiking trails and warm waters. Wake borders flock to Bass Lake throughout the spring and summer as do boater, water skiers, paddle boarders, wave runner enthusiasts and more. In the map section of this site under the heading 'What's Nearby', indicates the mileage distance from this house to those listed locations. However, the distances are measured 'As the Crow flies', not driving miles. Although the Retreat setting is quiet and remote, it is a mere 15 minute drive to downtown Mariposa, 20 minutes to Oakhurst and there is a local diner/convenience store/fuel stop less than 1 mile away.

Yosemite Pines Retreat in the Woods is truly a slice of heaven that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for your next adventure after your stay. We look forward to sharing our vacation home with you and hearing about your Yosemite vacation experience!

Kinda funky
Kitchen well equipped to serve and cook for 6. We were missing a baking sheet, but Beth ran over with one in minutes! Did not like square dining table that was pub height. Main bedroom only had an armoire - no closet. No wood- burning fireplace use allowed. Recliners on main sofa mostly non functioning. Property is an older modular home, floors very uneven and the home, while has some upgrades, had evidence of needed repairs/maintenance. Several items were somewhat dangerous - slippery shower floor and very slippery deck when icy. The area is a bit remote - 15 minutes from a town - but lovely. Had a great trip.

Totally awesome stay!
We just wish we had booked for more nights!! Thank you so much Beth, we hope to return some time. Drive to Yosemite is amazing, it took us around 90mins, but either way is very beautiful. We had two wonderful days in the park, and we all loved coming back to Beth’s house, which was very homely, spacious and well equipped. The children in particular loved the nature, including the deer, ponies and the horses! Sadly our car rental failed to start on our first day, but Beth and team were able to help us start the car and give us jump leads should it happen again. We can’t thank her enough.

An amazing space and beautiful getaway
What a private and truly rural spot. However, this home has all the amenities you need. It’s just an hour to Yosemite and is such a beautiful drive that you won’t mind it. We don’t have young children but admired the set up for them. The jacuzzi was so needed after hiking upper Yosemite falls and that sky was priceless!! The stars were stunning and awe inspiring. There is a very friendly cat named Eddie who greets you and you likely will see the family of deer that sneak around. It’s just a lovely experience. Thank you for allowing us to share such a peaceful space.

Amazingly Clean!
One of the cleanest properties I have ever stayed at! It smelled fresh and clean the second we stepped through the front door. It is a spacious home with lots of room to spread out both inside and out. The kids loved the pool! You have everything you need in a very workable and well-stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay there and hope to stay there again in the years to come.

5 night holiday stay
We had a lovely 5 night stay - we really enjoyed our time there. Spotlessly clean property. Very peaceful location. Pool, basketball, hot tub, table tennis all great. Lovely little horses. Deck area lovely to sit out on. Lots of sitting space inside also. Master bedroom with lovely en suite. It is 1 to 1.5 hours from principal Yosemite locations, but easy drives

Memorial Day adventure to Yosemite!
Beth, the host, was so accommodating and helpful! The house is cute and really well stocked, the view is lovely but the farm animals were a our favorites! We had a blue heron in the front yard each morning and the little blue eyed Siamese cat was the sweetest cat I have even been around. We cooked the first two nights and went to the ramen restaurant in Mariposa for the 3rd night. Great kitchen to cook in! The drive into Yosemite is right at an hour and it is just gorgeous. The closest entrance we used (two or three turns from the house) never had more than a 5 minute wait and we went early one morning but around 10 a.m. the next morning. We thought it would be chaotic over Memorial Day but it was a breeze. Yosemite is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and I've been to 80% of the National parks. Great house, great area, great host! I would highly recommend and I hope we can get back there in the next few years.

This is a beautiful home, that came with absolutely everything we needed, plus the large hot tub was amazing after hiking all day in Yosemite. The property was super clean and my friends even saw a family of dear walk by! The entrance to the south and arch rock entrance of Yosemite are relatively close and easy to access from the home.

Mariposa gem
This property gave my family what we need. A hidden quiet relaxing stay. Having to relax in a hot tub while watching the stars is a plus. Only regret we have is not have a full day at the house since we’ve been hiking in Yosemite the whole time. Beth even gave us a welcome treat. We would come back and stay.

This is definitely one of the very best vacation homes we've stayed at. The home is tastefully appointed throughout... and didn't lack for anything. Even so, the best part was the exterior decks and the beautiful views. Beth, our host, personally greeted us upon arrival which we found quite welcoming.

Great stay in Mariposa
I stayed here with my wife, my dad, my stepmom, and my middle brother for a Yosemite trip. It is conveniently located about 15 minutes from downtown Mariposa and an hour from the center of the park. Beth wad awesome! She made sire we had everything we needed for our stay, and even chatted with us while we were in the pool. The bedrooms wre clean, AC worked great (hottest days of the year when we stayed) and was clean and comfortable. I will definitely be making this my go-to spot for 3 bedrooms when going to Yosemite. Say hi to Beth for me! She was great, attentive, and courteous. She was easy to contact and very attentive when the power went out while we were in the park (affected our stay 0). I highly recommend this property and this host!
