Optional Bungalow & Game Room COMING SOON! Yosemite’s Favorite Basecamp meets the needs of almost all travelers. Just 22 miles from the Arch Rock Entrance to Yosemite National Park, on the only all season highway into the park. Enjoy the privacy and explore our six acres, including a seasonal creek, hammocks, hot tub and fire pit. Pet owners, kindly read listing before booking. This place is very private and very special. The Master bedroom has queen sized bed, a loveseat, and comes stocked with high thread count sheets. The attached bathroom has granite countertops, a 'tall-person' shower and thick fluffy towels. The Guest bedroom also has a queen sized bed and a nice view of the night sky and surrounding mountains. The livingroom has a comfy couch for relaxing, and a separate futon style bed. There is a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, quartz counter tops, completely stocked with modern cooking and baking tools. The spacious, open living & dining room has plenty of seating, a 42' Flat Screen TV, and a wood-burning stove. The Hot Tub is surrounded by a large wrap-around redwood deck. The back Patio has a 6 person dining table, a Gas BBQ, a Fire bowl and plenty of additional seating. A short drive through the gorgeous Merced River canyon brings you to Yosemite National Park. Ample free parking on site. Back yard patio has hammocks in the summer, fire pit in the winter - the perfect place to gaze at the stars. The House and Bungalow are tastefully decorated with National Park themed photographs and paintings, many by local artists. Everything about the Midpines House and Bungalow are new and fresh. Please look though our pictures and book when you decide to vacation in style! Guests have full access to the house and property. Our six acres are private, and for guest use. You will not be sharing with other guests. We like to give our guests privacy, but are available and close by should any issues arise. We are on six private wooded acres just 1/4 mile off the highway. We are ten minutes from the town of Mariposa, 22 miles from Yosemite National Park, and just two minutes from an amazing restaurant nestled in the mountains. This is truly the ideal location to explore Yosemite and the surrounding area. We have ample parking if you choose to use your own vehicle to explore the area, and are also close to a Yosemite Area Rapid Transit System stop if you’d prefer to take public transit. Once in Yosemite, there is a free shuttle system to access a variety of locations in Yosemite Valley. A map of the area is provided in our welcome binder. This is our home and we love sharing it with our guests. We welcome all sorts of groups who are visiting to enjoy the amazing region we live in. We are very different from a hotel. We ask that our guests treat our home with respect and take great care of it. If you like to party, drink excessively, etc, this is not a good fit for you. But, we love hosting families, kids, groups of friends and up to two dogs (we will make the occasional exception for a third dog). See information below regarding bringing your dogs. Midpines House is a fantastic place to use as a home base to explore Yosemite and the Sierra National Forest, host family get-togethers, group retreats, honeymoons, etc. Well behaved, house-broken dogs are welcome with PRIOR approval. Please tell us a little about your dog when booking. A non-refundable pet fee will apply for approved doggy guests. Pets are NEVER allowed on furniture or bedding, and guests must pick up after dogs in the yard.
