Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Central California

we stayed here as we planned to hike half dome. Pimmy and Jason are amazing hosts, and their home is just perfect with an amazing sunset view. its a 20mins drive to park entrance 90 drive from theirs to the half dome trailhead. will be checking back in for availability at this place when we come back to Yosemite.

Perfect location for Yosemite. Courtney was in contact and very helpful. I would stay here again.

Highly recommended! This house is located in a private and quiet area. Once you get past the entrance gate, there’s a private road leading to the home, which offers a beautiful view to a neighboring field of grapevines. From inside the home, there’s a beautiful view to the fields. If you are in town for the wine culture, consider planning a visit to Willow Creek Wine Co., who offers amazing chenin blancs, and Union Sacre for ecclectic wines. Overall, great experience.

Stayed here for a few nights and it was definitely a unique experience. The house is way out in the woods with barely any light around, so it gets super dark at night. Kind of spooky but also peaceful. What really made it worth it was the nature. Tons of wildlife, beautiful views, and total quiet. Great if you’re looking to unplug and just relax. Not much around, cute town about 15 min away, Yosemite south entrance about 1 hour away so come prepared, but overall a cool escape into nature.

If you’re looking for a place to get away and recharge, this is highly recommended! It’s a small cabin, but the location right on the river was amazing. The bed was very comfortable. The WiFi isn’t strong, but this place should be an escape from such things - spend 30 minutes sitting by the river!

It’s hard to put into words just how incredible this place is, I could write paragraphs. We use vacation rental homes a lot and this by far surpasses them all. So nice not to have to buy tp, paper towels, gbg bags, laundry & dishwasher det. and more but it’s all supplied. Beds are super comfortable, high-quality sheets and towels, and plenty of them, lots of extra blankets. Box fan in every closet, sound machine by every bed. So, so, so many extra touches beyond what I mentioned that go above and beyond. The place inside and out is both beautiful and serene. Could have happily spent a month. Only one small country store in the little town nearby so if you plan to do cooking and stay an extended time, definitely hit up a Walmart or a large grocery store before you arrive. Especially if you’re looking to get away from it all and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing retreat, this is the perfect place whether you’re one couple, a family, or a group of friends. Owner should teach a class.

Better than pictures! This sweet home was nestled in the middle of shop’s & business, but extremely private & comfortable. Beds were comfy & home was squeaky clean. The best part was the hospitality of the host, Pam. You won’t be sorry.

Wonderful older home in the most spectacular location with stunning views.Extremely private would be great for a honeymoon or anniversary..The kitchen is fully stocked just show up with your groceries!A great wood burning fireplace stocked with lots of wood for cooler evenings.Diane is a great host and was available our entire visit.Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us.Perfect place to relax before our sons wedding!

Very affordable place to stay compared to other bnbs nearby. Not a “cabin” but still had the homey cabin feel. Kitchen and fridge were stocked a little bit. Grocery store nearby. Very easy and flexible check in. Laurie who takes care of the rental for Robert was very nice and friendly and helpful. If you have kids there is a little selection of toys and also a little selection of dvds. Walking distance to the golf course across the street. Overall a very good experience. Would 100% stay there again.

This a peaceful retreat in an incredibly beautiful location. The cabin is located in a small, friendly, quiet and beautiful community. The neighborhood is connected to a nice trail and leads you along a river and waterfalls. The cabin is beautifully understated. Filled with quality pieces but they’re not pretentious so you instantly feel like you’re home and it’s cosy. The patio is a perfect place to have a meal and listen to the river next to the house. I would highly recommend staying in this cabin if you want Yosemite to be accessible but you’re not in the mix. Just keep in mind to get to Yosemite and its shuttle system it’s a bit of a drive BUT the drive is beautiful and it’s worth spending extra time in the car.

We had a fantastic stay at the Valley View apartment! Lynn gave us clear directions, and her detailed guidebook was incredibly helpful for planning our time in Napa and Sonoma. The apartment itself is cozy and comfortable, with stunning views and a beautifully maintained property. We loved the peaceful setting. There are cows on the property, plus we spotted turkeys, deer, and even got daily visits from Hazel the cat, which was such a sweet bonus. This is a truly special place, and Lynn is an exceptional host. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We loved staying at the Cottage! It was truly a retreat. The landscaping and setting was absolutely stunning and so relaxing. The space is comfortable and so cute. Tom and Judy are great hosts, so friendly and welcoming!

It was a wonderful experience! This was one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed in through Airbnb. The host prepared so many thoughtful amenities, and there were so many heartwarming touches throughout the trip. Especially, the homemade cookies were amazing ! so delicious and full of love! I truly appreciated the care and attention to detail. it made the stay even more special!

Great place to stay, and amazing hospitality. The cookies were amazing as well!

The cozy casita was absolutely amazing. It was perfect for my weekend getaway. I had plans in emeryville it was very close. The details of the casita were well thought out. I felt the love that was put in. Would definitely stay again.

This apartment is a great choice for Mariposa: it is clean, conveniently located, and has all the core amenities. The hosts are communicative, making the check-in and check-out process easy. The place is truly in the center of Mariposa, and is walking distance to a lot of places. It is a great place to stay if you are visiting Yosemite. The apartment itself might not be my most memorable Airbnb experience, but it certainly got the job done and we had no complaints.

We had a vacation stay with another family and we both enjoyed Casey's place! It is nestled in the woods and the pine trees all around adds to its serenity feeling. The cabin was spacious, with wooden floor and generous offering of beds, sofas, tables and chairs. The second floor with the tipped ceiling even gave a vibe of the Swiss Chalet which we really loved. We were also offered the opportunity of relaxing in the hot tub which we ended up not using, but the patio itself is already a great bonus, suitable for a tranquil dinner or for just sitting around the fire pit in the evening. The check in/check out instruction was clear and easy to follow and Casey was really responsive to our needs and questions. We recommend this place 5 star!:)

They were incredibly friendly and thoughtful—truly wonderful people. The house is spotlessly clean and located in beautiful natural surroundings. Both the interior and exterior were very well maintained, and I really wished I could have stayed longer. Although it takes about an hour to get to Yosemite by car, it’s still one of the closer spots outside the park. I would love to stay here again if I get the chance.

Stayed here a second time, can’t keep thinking about the amazing view that I get to share with my family. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful and majestic place.

Great cozy place in a beautiful location just a few minutes from downtown and from the lake. Hosts were extremely accommodating, and were very responsive. Would definitely return.

Truly a gem!!! This cabin is one we will stay at for many trips to come. Not only is the home fantastic, the nature all around it is breathtaking. Mark was so kind and responsive and helpful! Thank you for hosting we will see you next trip!!!

Jamie’s Cabin at Shaver like was a fantastic experience. The area is perfectly located for a secluded and nature filled get away. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning views and the cozy & inviting atmosphere. The cabin itself is beautifully decorated and incredibly well-equipped – everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway is provided. The kitchen is well amenited , the beds were comfortable, and the fireplace would add a perfect touch of warmth on chilly evenings. We spent our days hiking the nearby trails, enjoying the fresh mountain air, and simply unwinding in the peaceful surroundings. Jamie was an exceptional host, providing clear instructions and being readily available to answer any questions. The location is perfect – secluded enough for privacy but still within driving distance of Yosemite & Sequoia. We can't wait to return!

This June I stayed at this amazing place. The pictures don’t do it justice. It has great decks and a very open floor plan. It is literally foot steps from one of the beaches and swim areas at Pine mountain lake. Another plus was the changing station for electric vehicles. We would definitely stay again. Brian is an excellent host.

Very special place, feels like a home and the location is very unique. What a lovely place to visit! The hot tub and the s'mores station were the cherry on the top. Kids loved it too
