Yosemite/Mariposa Mountain Get-a-way

Very clean and well maintained cottage surrounded by nature's beauty with tall pines, oak trees, and mountain streams, and only 34 miles to Yosemite National Park, and 26 miles to Bass Lake. Watch the deer come in to feed in the morning and evening. Our cottage is secluded for privacy and an optimum mountain get-a-way experience. We also have many other animals for you to enjoy, including miniature donkeys, emus, turtles, sheep and water buffalo. We can give you a tour of the area and of all our animals, or you can have your privacy and enjoy the beauty around you, whichever you prefer. Either way, it will be a stay you will never forget!

Successful Yosemite Trip

Me and 5 others arrived here on the 13th. We were immediately greeted by Mr Gibson who gave us a tour of the property! Got to see the Emu, the Water Buffalo and her Calf, all 5 donkeys, the Cat orangie, and of course their awesome Dog. Incredible stay and the place was super clean. Very it is about an hour drive from the south entrance to Yosemite. Great location! Thank you for the stay!

This place is amazing. The pictures don't do it justice. The coolest rental. When I wasn't spending my time wandering around Yosemite or the Sierra National Forest I spent my time wandering around the beautiful property grounds. I sat in random places and got to know the animals. This rental was the best. So peaceful yet so fulfilling. I don't often return to places, but I really hope to come back. I will stay again in a heartbeat. Super clean, very spacious and you get to borrow not just this hidden gem, but their furry family also! Don't hesitate to book this rental. The hosts were both very friendly but very much gave my my privacy. Everything was perfect.

Wonderful!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property! We stayed with 3 generations: my parents, my partner and I, and our 2 year old twins. The house itself was clean and well-equipped, and the hosts were so lovely and communication was top notch. We were given a tour of the property and all of the host's animals on the day we arrived, and we had lovely visitors of a cat, donkeys, goat, sheep, and dogs every day (which my 2 year old twins absolutely loved!) It was a great location from which to explore Yosemite - we did Mariposa Grove and swimming nearby, followed by Tunnel View and Bridalveil falls the following day, both 1-1.5 hours away. The hosts were very responsive to any questions, and the rural location was quiet and private. We will definitely stay again if ever in the area!

This was one of the best family vacations we have had. Becky and Wade are really great people. Wade gave us an awesome tour of the property and animals. My children really enjoyed getting to know the animals on the property. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here because of the friendly and comfortable environment!

Excellent base for anything this area has to offer

We absolutely loved Becky's & Wade's farm cottage - and the farm critters wandering around made it very special. We will particularly miss Sally the Pyrenees, Harry (hairy) the Highland steer, and the little donkeys. Thanks so much for sharing your special place with us!

Unexpected, but Well Taken Care Of

Our expectations were not a house in the middle of the farm. We should have read the listing better. After we got over that the stay was just fine. For us, we wanted to be close to Yosemite, but not in the park. It was a decent location for that. Once inside the house the accommodations fit our family with room to spare. Communication with the owners were good and responsive. We noticed a cleanliness issue upon arrival. The owners made sure all was taken care of quickly. I would recommend this place as a good stay.

What a fun and serene place to stay!

This place did not disappoint. As others had mentioned, we were met with a group of goats and donkeys and our boys (age 11 and 6) just lit up. They absolutely fell in love with the cats too. It was fun walking the property with my boys before heading off to bed. The hosts here are amazing and were so gracious and helpful during our stay. This place had everything we needed and more. The only complaint is we didn't have enough time! We visited Yosemite but stopped to see Bass Lake on our way home and now I wish we could have stayed one more night to spend time there too. On our way to Yosemite, there were a lot of deer right on the road as we left the house. Such a beautiful location. Thank you!

Cute roomy farmhouse with a bunch of furry friends

The house was clean, roomy, and well stocked. The animals on the property were an absolute treat, so friendly and calm. We were greeted by a little goat welcoming party as soon as we opened the car door XD and the sweetest cats and donkeys followed us everywhere we went on the property. Would highly recommend if you want a nice, peaceful stay and like animals.

Perfect place with kids!

We stayed here for a few days while visiting Yosemite. As others have mentioned, it is about an hour to an hour and a half to the park entrances from here, but it is a beautiful and easy drive. Honestly I think my kids enjoyed being on this farm with the animals as much as they enjoyed Yosemite! As we got in the car to leave my 12-year-old thanked me for finding this spot. Definitely recommend!!
