Vacation Rental Description

"A Mellow Mixture of Comfort and Class, LOVED it!" 
 
Wonderful and welcoming, Vineyard View Vacation Rental is Ideally located  
just outside the town of Mariposa, very near Yosemite National Park.  
 
The handsome, historic home is set in the center of eight private, magnificent acres 
amongst majestic Oaks, Cedars and Pines with spectacular distant views of  
a mountain vineyard and beyond.  It is a delightful retreat for couples, families 
and friends traveling together who want to be close to Yosemite yet still enjoy  
the luxury, comfort, and convenience of their own private vacation home. 
 
Vineyard View is all one level with three plus bedrooms: 2 King beds, 1 Queen Bed, 1 Twin bed  
plus foam & Aero beds for the kids. There are two full bathrooms, a big, beautiful  
kitchen with all new appliances and cabinetry, fabulous new tile countertops, 
extensive cooking utensils and a delightful dining area that comfortably seats 
up to eight. The open floor plan allows for comfortable, un-crowded companionship 
and the views from this room are amazing. 
 
"We could not have asked for a better place, we felt at home &  
everything was so clean and nice. The kids had a lot of fun with all  
the toys and no words can describe that swing in the yard! We loved  
it, we loved it, we LOVED it." 9/06 
 
All new appliances and cabinetry, fabulous new tile countertops,  
extensive cooking utensils and a delightful dining area that  
comfortably seats up to eight.  Original hardwood floors,   
large stone fireplace, Piano and abundant over-sized picture windows  
make this an exclusive, one-of-a-kind mountain getaway.  
 
The Master bedroom has an Eastern King bed, vanity sink, sitting  
area and plentiful windows that treat guests to the magnificent  
views of the winery and grounds.  The second bedroom has a CA King  
bed, private reading area and equally plentiful picture windows with  
delightful views, these two rooms share the lovely hall bath that is  
all new, complete with a claw foot tub below a picture window with  
private view, corner shower and mosaic tile floor. 
 
There is a deluxe, Oak Queen size Wall-Bed in the living room,  
guests staying here have a door between this room and the hallway  
that offers total privacy from the other two bedrooms when closed.   
An added benefit of the wall-bed is its romantic proximity  
to the lovely, stone fireplace and floor to ceiling windows with  
incredible, distant views. 
 
There is also a quaintly done bedroom in the large utility room  
where guests using the Wall-Bed can enjoy a private place for their  
personal belongings as well as their own lovely, full bath and a  
twin size bed for quiet afternoon naps. 
 
Guests here can experience a day in Yosemite National Park just 26  
miles away and return home to sit back on the Verandah in the  
comfortable, white wicker furniture and enjoy the sun setting over  
the peaceful garden and VIEW with the whispering winds blowing  
softly through the trees.  
 
You can also enjoy a leisurely stroll through the trees or down the  
storybook lane to the tasting room of the award winning, Butterfly  
Creek winery.  Enjoy Sensational sunsets, serenity, and the sound of  
the Seasonal Creek outside your bedroom window or relax in the  
elegant claw foot tub while daydreaming out the garden window beside  
you. 
 
We welcome and encourage those traveling with young children and  
offer the use of a variety of baby/child items such as safety gates,  
highchair, booster seat, crib, porta-crib/playpen, stroller and lots  
of books & toys, all of which can be cumbersome and difficult to  
travel with.  
 
The home is exceptionally child friendly and thoughtfully baby- 
proofed, we have play yard equipment, sand box, cars to ride in etc.  
for the smaller children and if you're traveling with older children  
who need room to explore, there are lots of trails to follow, trees  
to climb, Ping Pong to play, a swing for fun and more here to keep  
them occupied while you sit back, relax, and enjoy the views... 
 
***Location*** 
 
4 hours from Los Angeles 
 
2.5 hours from the Greater SF Bay Area/San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento and San Jose International  
Airports

While vacationing at Vineyard View Vacation Rental, you’ll avoid  
both the crowds, and the traffic and yet Yosemite National Park is  
only a 29 mile drive away via the beautiful “all weather highway”  
which meanders through the Wild and Scenic Merced River Canyon. 
 
Located at 2900‘ in elevation it does get an occasional, yet  
manageable amount of snow without causing difficult access or  
travel.  A plethora of trees and the valley below provide welcome  
shade and afternoon breezes on those hot, sultry summer days.    
  
The Merced River Recreation Area at Briceburg is just 11 miles away  
and has small, sandy beaches just perfect for picnics, wading, and  
summertime swimming. The river is also great for fishing, hiking,  
camping, wild life viewing, and for the even more adventurous, white- 
water rafting And kayaking. There are several commercial rafters who  
provide Trips down portions of the river. 
 
The surrounding area offers a myriad of activities and adventure, we  
provide guests with a book full of endless suggestions of places to  
go and great, lesser known things to do. 
 
You can easily enjoy Yosemite's south entrance from here too which  
is up Hwy. 41, outside of Oakhurst.  Traveling that direction you’ll  
find things to see and do such as the world famous Mariposa Grove’s  
Giant Sequoias, Goat Meadow Winter Sports Area where you can cross- 
country ski or let the kids play and sled in the snow, beautiful  
Bass Lake with its water sports, beaches and restaurants and the  
historic Sugar Pine Railroad adventure, just to name a few. 
 
 
NOTE:  If you are looking for a larger accommodation capacity,  
please see our listing "The Little Lodge" here on  
VacationRentalsdotCom, it sleeps up to 12 and is only four miles  
away, closer to the park!  Combine both and SAVE!
