Description
Exceptional retreat - newly listed on Trip Advisor July 2017
The Cottage Retreat is charming with a century old history, located near Yosemite National Park in historic Mariposa. Find out why Cottage Retreat has received more than 40 five star reviews on a leading vacation rental site.
In the cottage you’ll find all the modern amenities you will need in this newly renovated (9/2015) 3 bedroom cozy cottage with 2 full baths. When you walk into Cottage Retreat, you won't find the musty stuffiness, typical of many vacation rentals. There is all new vintage furniture. The modern kitchen has all new solid stone surface counters and is decorated to look and feel like an old style farm house. The cottage decor is professionally done to feel comfy with great function. We have installed 3 flat screen TV's (Smart/Roku)for your enjoyment after you return from the park. Complimentary Netflix movies are provided in the living room. There is also free Wi-Fi for Internet or a 'working' holiday. The cottage can sleep 8 and A Pack & Play Crib/Playpen is provided.
There are two outside sitting areas - one is a front porch looking into the forest and the other belongs to the master bedroom with its own private deck to sit, allowing some private time. A bbq is set at edge of the woods along with a rock fire pit. The outside area is large and level, making it a great place for kids to play, ride bikes and explore nearby. There are hiking trails on the 40 acres property for any days you want to stay and relax at home. If you wish to bring a pet, please make a notation in your booking request. At night, you'll want to settle around the fire pit, make smores and tell stories. Or just walk outdoors and be awe struck by the night sky filled with stars of the Milky Way - seemingly close enough to touch.
The living room, dining area and kitchen are all open, allowing you to enjoy watching your favorite movies or shows and to stay warm with the fireplace in the cooler months. We have central air-conditioning and heat for your comfort any time of the year and an all new easily accessible laundry area. Here is another nice unique feature - you won't be bothered while trying to sleep by creaky floorboards or people walking above - the downstairs master bedroom has no second floor above it.
Your new home is a two story farm house cottage with pine accents from the natural surroundings. You’ll find two bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom downstairs with its own bath. Natural materials were used to accent the home’s history lending to its warmth and the charm of times gone by. Look and you’ll see wood in the home that's nearly 100 years old. The floors upstairs are original, but reworked during the special renovation.
If you're looking to have a most special friends or family reunion, ask us about our nearby 2 bedroom Log House Retreat just several hundred feet away or our redone 2 bedroom Valerian Retreat - winner of over 100 five star reviews.
Come and visit. You won’t want to leave.
The Cottage Retreat is a great starting location for day trips to many points of interest including Yosemite:
To Yosemite west entrance –
Go north on route 49 to reach the arch rock highway 140 entrance that takes you through the historic town of Mariposa and along the valley floor of the scenic Merced River canyon. It is a beautiful drive which will take you about 45 minutes to an hour to reach the park. There are many places along the road to stop and enjoy the wild and scenic river. This area is known for spectacular wild flower viewing.
To Yosemite south entrance –
Go south on route 49 to reach Oakhurst - a larger town with many services, dining and shopping options. In Oakhurst, you will turn off to highway 41 east to wind your way up the mountain into Yosemite Park through the quaint little village of Fish Camp and Wawona – both places of many interests. Near Wawona is the must see of the Mariposa Grove of giant redwoods. As you drive further toward Yosemite just after the tunnel, be sure to pull off to see the spectacular view of the Yosemite valley from above.
