Log House - Rustic Luxury Hideaway with a Hot Tub, Fire Pit on 40 private acres The Log House is charming with a century old history based on its original log Great Room. While fully maintaining the charm of its history, the Log House has been brought into current times with all the modern conveniences including an outdoor Hot Tub. In the cabin you’ll find all the amenities you will need in this recently renovated 2 bedroom cozy cabin with 2 baths. When you walk into the Log House, you won't find the musty stuffiness, typical of many vacation rentals. It is fresh and clean with a pleasing blend of new vintage and contemporary furnishings. The modern kitchen has all new solid stone surface counters and is decorated to look and feel like an old style farm house. You will also find it fully stocked with pots, pans, bakeware and an array of spices. The cabin décor is professionally done to feel comfy with great function. There are 3 flat screen smart TV's, free Wi-Fi and some cell services that work well. Complimentary Netflix movies are provided in the living room. The cabin can sleep 4 comfortably with central air conditioning and heating. A bbq and picnic table are nearby along with a fire pit that can be used (except during times of higher fire risk). The outside area is large and level, making it a great place for kids to play, ride bikes and explore nearby. Don't be surprised if you see some wildlife while sitting on the patios. There are hiking trails on the 40 acres property for any days you want to stay and relax at home. 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 original stone hearth fireplace in those cooler months. There is also central air-conditioning and heat for your comfort any time of the year (a rare, desirable feature in such a rustic home, as opposed to the typical noisy bedroom wall units). You'll also find a fully equipped interior laundry room. 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 features in the home that are nearly 100 years old. Set on 40 acres, the property will invite you to take leisurely hikes and enjoy the forested and scenic views. You can see the Sierras from locations on the property. Peace and quiet are the best things you’ll notice when you stay at the Log House Retreat. It is set back just off the main route 49, near the historic town of Mariposa and is half way between two entrances to Yosemite Park. You’ll want to sample both easy but different drives into Yosemite - either via the west entrance with HWY 140 along the valley floor beside the Merced River or via the south entrance with HWY 41 through the Sierra mountains. This location is a great place to retreat to after a busy day with the crowds of summer in Yosemite. This rustic luxury retreat is just a short drive from the old gold mining town of Mariposa (www.yosemite.com/things-to-do). It is perfectly located halfway between both Yosemite entrances – so you can experience the unique beauty of each. The cabin is also a great hideaway in the fall, winter and spring. As the temperature drops, the property, with its special setting, may welcome you with a beautiful snowscape. If you need more space for a family reunion or get together of friends, several hundred feet away on the 40 acre property, you can also reserve our sister property, the 3 Bedroom Cottage Retreat - winner of over 110 Five Star Reviews. And 3 miles away , you can also reserve our 2 Bedroom Valerian Retreat - winner of over 150 five star reviews (bit.ly/YosemiteRusticLuxuryRetreats). Come and visit! You won’t want to leave.The Log House Retreat is a great starting location for day trips to many points of interest: To Yosemite through 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 through 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 left onto highway 41 east to wind your way up the mountain into Yosemite Park through the quaint little villages of Fish Camp and Wawona – both places of many interests. Near Wawona is the must see 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. • Bass lake is located fifteen minutes from Oakhurst. It is a hopping place during warm weather for water sports and just catching some sun and a picnic for the day. Bass lake offers water sports rentals, shops, casual as well as fine dining options. 'Ducey's on the Lake' is a favorite restaurant.• There are 3 local golf courses just minutes away: Sierra Meadows, River Creek and Wawona; the latter is just inside Yosemite.• During the winter months you can travel to Badger Pass to enjoy downhill and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.• Many of the communities have many other activities throughout the year! On local websites you can find events like festivals, the arts and wineries to explore. Mariposa has a zip line and river rafting in the summer, as well as horseback riding on forested trails.• Mariposa has its own airport just 10 minutes from town and 20 minutes from the cabin.
