About this property

Beautiful Creekside Home in Mariposa Pines Close to Yosemite. No cleaning fee.

All inclusive. No cleaning fee. Built in 1998 this modern 1600 sq. ft. ranch style home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Our home has a beautiful large kitchen completely stocked for cooking needs. The living room and dining area are large and open with lovely and comfortable furnishings. There is a large laundry room available for our guests. You step out the front door and are surrounded by trees over one hundred years old, huge granite rocks and a seasonal creek right in front of the house. Early risers can enjoy that first cup of morning coffee with a leisurely walk or sitting under the trees enjoying the quiet and fresh air. Yosemite is approx. a one hour drive (38 miles) along the Merced River which meanders through canyons into the park. For advanced hikers our home is two miles from one of the most beautiful hikes in Mariposa. Search: Hite Cove trail for details. Mountain biking is also right out our door! We are located on the trail head of the forest service fire roads that span over 40 miles of amazing riding with views of the back country of Yosemite including a view of El Capitan seven miles from our house. Historical downtown Mariposa is 20 minutes away with gold mining and rock museums, shopping, restaurants and antique stores. You can pick up the YARTS bus into the park in several locations in town. Bus fare includes admission into the park. Chuckchansi Casino is 45 minutes away with live shows and several restaurants. Bass Lake is 45 minutes away with boating, jet skiing, fishing and swimming. Zephyr white water river rafting is 20 minutes away.


Keywords: See our reviews by past guests who have loved our home away from home. A comment we constantly get from guests is how cool, lush and heavily wooded our area is compared to the lower elevations in Mariposa. One of our guests little girl described our property as being like 'Narnia'. Surrounded by oaks, pines and a seasonal creek. There are frequently deer and wild turkeys strolling around the property. Our home is also available for exchange in Europe and the U.S.

Nice stay in Mariposa

The Creekside Home in Mariposa was a great place to stay. It’s a bit of a drive to town (20 minutes), but worth it. A clean, comfortable house that had everything we needled. Unfortunately we were visiting Yosemite both days we were there so didn’t spend much time at the house, but the time we did spend there was comfortable.

Great Rental House

This was a great rental house, filled with interesting artwork. It was spacious, and had very comfortable beds and plenty of room for our family of 4. We loved the remote location for stargazing. The only real downside was the long drive to Yosemite - about an hour to both the south and arch rock gates.

Great Family Vacation Spot

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation. The home was immaculate and well outfitted. Our grandchildren enjoyed exploring the area and the proximity to Yosemite (about an hour from the valley) was a bonus. We will definately be returning.

Great respite in the woods

My friends and I traveled here, as likely most do, to visit and experience Yosemite. While this particular property isn’t quite as ideally located as we’d hoped, it turned out to be a welcome retreat. The place was clean, and had all the necessary amenities to rest between explorations. The host was very kind to afford us early check in and had great communication and information regarding the park. Hope to visit again!

Relaxing and Complete

The Creekside retreat greatly exceeded our expectations and provided a very comfortable stay while being in a beautiful location near to both Mariposa and Yosemite. The house included all amenities and provided both relaxation and peace during our adventure. We would request another stay and recommend to both friends and family. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your retreat on our journey. Much appreciated.

Wonderful property!!

We had a fantastic stay here! The house is very clean and comfortable, very thoughtfully stocked, there was everything we could possibly need. The fireplace was cozy on a cold evening, had fun playing some of the games there. A great jumping off spot for Yosemite!

Lovely house

We felt in this house like if it was our home. It is very well equipped, it is cosy and the beds are very comfortables. The place is very quiet. We saw a deer near the house. Mariposa is a nice town. The house is located near Yosemite. We warmly recommend this cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Eileen Blankenhorn

Host profile image
We have loved our home in the mountains since 2003 with many family and friend gatherings. Living in a large city, it is nice to escape to an area where people do not even lock their doors.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located at a 4,000 ft. elevation rich in forest life, cool summers and beauty unlike the lower elevations in Mariposa. We bought in this area because of the extreme beauty of the surroundings and accessibility to hiking and bike trails. We have filled our home with art and decor from our wonderful travels.

What makes this property unique

Located in a serene, quiet neighborhood, beautiful wooded property and excellent roads!
