Stone House I Thoughtful Nature Stay Near Yosemite

Stone House is part of Casa Oso, thoughtfully hosted homes near Yosemite. Tucked into 43 forested acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills, it's a place for quiet mornings, afternoons on the trails, and evenings spent together. Explore Yosemite, soak in the hot tub beneath the pines, gather on the deck for dinner, or enjoy being surrounded by nature. Built from natural stone and timber, the house is designed to host, with thoughtful details and comfortable spaces that make it easy to settle in. The space Built from natural stone and timber, the house is designed to host, with thoughtful details and comfortable spaces that make it easy to settle in. The main living spaces are all on one level, which makes the house feel connected and easy to settle into. There are three bedrooms with king beds, three full bathrooms, and an extra half bath off the living room. The separate TV room has a large sofa that can sleep two more when needed. The living room is where people naturally gather, with a large sectional and a stone fireplace for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. There’s also a separate TV room with an 86" screen for movie nights, plus board games for kids and adults. The kitchen opens into the living area, so meals and conversation happen in the same space. It’s well equipped for cooking and baking, whether you’re making a quick breakfast before Yosemite, packing food for the day, or settling in for a longer dinner back at the house. The main bedroom has its own fireplace and is surrounded by large windows and skylights that keep the forest close. There are no window coverings in this room by design, since there’s nothing outside but trees and sky. The other two bedrooms have blackout window coverings for anyone who prefers to sleep in. Outside, the deck has a large dining table, a gas BBQ, a wood-fired stone BBQ, and extra patio seating for coffee, a drink, or time together outdoors. There are also two fire tables that add warmth and make it easy to stay outside later into the evening. The hot tub sits beneath the trees and is ready when you want to slow down after a day in the park. Beyond the house, the property opens up around you with private trails, a seasonal pond, a fire pit, shuffleboard, a playground, and forest in every direction. Deer and wild turkeys are common here, and the setting stays quiet and private.

It is rented separately, so each home has its own privacy and independence. The access road and layout naturally keep the homes far apart. The grounds are shared, but each home feels quiet and independent. Larger groups sometimes reserve both homes together while still having room to spread out. We've set everything up ahead of time, so you can check in and settle in on your own. Guest access Guests will have access to the entire home and the surrounding private property during their stay. A second home on the property, Lovers Nest, sits about 300 feet away and is rented separately. Larger groups sometimes reserve both homes together while still having space of their own. Other things to note Yosemite National Park South Gate Entrance in Fish Camp is about a 1-hour drive from Stone House. The Yosemite Entrance in El Portal, where Yosemite Valley is located, is also about a 1-hour drive. Travel times can be longer during weekend rush hours and holidays, so we recommend planning accordingly. Lovers Nest is located in a secluded area and the property is not fully fenced. Being surrounded by Yosemite means sharing the area with the local wildlife and nature that comes with it. Animals that may be seen around the property include deer, turkeys, squirrels, hawks, and rabbits. Less commonly seen, but living in the area, are coyotes, bears, mountain lions, raccoons, opossums, skunks, rattlesnakes, tarantulas, and scorpions. Local plants also include poison oak and poison ivy. Wildfires are a natural part of California, including the Sierra Nevada region. Some species, including sequoias, rely on fire as part of their natural life cycle. Wildfire season is most common between June and November.
