Yosemite Vacation Rentals

By far the coziest and most contemporary of our three homes, SierraScape is an upscale yet affordable paradise, ideally suited to somewhat smaller groups.    

Secretly set near Yosemite, this 1200 sq. ft custom-built, tri-level, 3 bedroom home is hidden away in the center of eight secluded acres and has extensive decking and a spa that overlook the boulder filled, seasonal creek and surrounding hills.   

SierraScape is a virtual cocoon of nature, it is surrounded by lush, year-round greenery and the incredible ITALIAN CREEK runs right by, just 20' below the Redwood deck.  This very popular home is truly one-of-a-kind, you simply must see it to believe it.  From the high-ceilinged catwalk that spans the length between the two third floor bedrooms and looks down onto the first floor dining area to the six-foot tiled shower that has knee-height windows with totally private views, SierraScape consistently provides an experience that far exceeds the expectations of those who have been fortunate enough to have chosen it.  
The home is beautifully furnished with an eclectic mix of comfort and style, has a FULLY-equipped kitchen with EVERY convenience, three large, beautifully done bedrooms as well as the most incredible outdoor patio you have possibly ever seen.

THE LIVING, KITCHEN & DINING AREAS...

SierraScape’s living room has Gorgeous, new Oak flooring, high, open-beam ceilings and includes a reclining sofa, several comfortable chairs, the big stone fireplace, Stereo system w/iPod port, TV w/DVD/VCR and extensive satellite channels, including HBO. There is an abundance of board games, an interesting collection of books and novels as well as access out the French doors, leading directly out onto the back deck area and Hot Tub.

This room sits adjacent to the sunny dining area and just beyond that, the arched entrance leads you into the well-stocked, fully-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, gas stove, refrigerator, stainless sink with plumbed, purified RO drinking water, Granite countertops, dishwasher, microwave, multiple windows and a BEAUTIFUL view...

THE BEDROOMS & BATHS... (3 bedrooms, 1 King bed, 2 Queen beds and 1 Crib, NO additional beds available - One full bath/shower, One half-bath + Sink in Master Bedroom))

The large, Master Bedroom is located on the second level and has open-beam, cathedral ceilings & skylight, a Queen bed, loveseat, a vanity/sink and a side door that opens onto its own private deck, leading down to the Spa. The Lodge Room is located on the third level, at one end of the catwalk and has a Queen bed, high open-beam ceilings and several distant views.

The Room With a View is located at the other end of the catwalk, also on the third level and has high, open-beam ceilings, a King-size bed, beautiful view and French doors that lead out onto a private balcony, overlooking the creek. The upstairs, half-bath is also located along the catwalk, separating the two upper bedrooms and allowing for more privacy and convenience.

All three bedrooms are beautifully outfitted with both modern & antique furniture as well as comfortable, quality beds. Each room has a ceiling fan, a sitting/reading area and writing desk, adding to the comfort and solitude of each individual space.

Located on the first floor is the unique, full bathroom with an open, 6' tile shower (it's terrific for two!) which has dual shower heads, multiple windows and private, distant views. It also has a large soaking tub, a real treat! Conveniently, this main bathroom is accessible from common living space as is the half-bath upstairs so no traipsing through someone else's bedroom on your way to the loo ;-).

And OUTSIDE…

You’ll find the incredible, multi-level Sunny Garden Deck that is absolutely, positively fantastic. This area overlooks the boulder filled ITALIAN CREEK and surrounding hills and leads past the spa, up to the garden gate that leads you down a short path, right to the water's edge. The creek is seasonal however there is water running 6-8 months of the year and small pools amongst the rocks year-round.

The full-size Spa is transcendent, it is TOTALLY private & sunken so is easy to get in and out of, EXCEPTIONALLY well-kept, available ALL year long and is incredibly inviting... While just 10 or so steps from the living room door, this Hot Tub is unreal, decadently perched over the creek and under the wide-open, star-studded sky.

"Regardless of how stressed one may be, if they cannot get their mind in a better place sitting out on your deck and listening to nature, they need professional help."

There are two separate table and chair combinations as well as lounge furniture, a vine covered trellis, full feeders that attract a wide variety of birds, a clean Gas Grill and an abundance of flowering pots and native plants that surround you.

** LOCATION **

SierraScape sits well off Hwy 49 just nine miles south of the town of Mariposa and is ideally located between two different entrances to Yosemite National Park. These two entrance routes (via HWY 41 or HWY 140) offer myriad activities and attractions along the way to the park.

HWY 140, the only “all weather highway”, winds through the Scenic Merced River Canyon and takes you directly into Yosemite Valley, through the “Arch Rock” entrance. The Merced River Rec Area at Briceburg is just a 14 mile drive & has small, private sandy beaches just perfect for picnics, wading, and summertime swimming. The river is also great for fishing & hiking and for the even more adventurous, white-water rafting.

Traveling in the other direction, up HWY 41 outside of Oakhurst will lead you to the south entrance into Yosemite where you’ll find the world famous Mariposa Grove’s GIANT SEQUOIAS, GLACIER POINT, BADGER PASS SKI Area and of course beautiful BASS LAKE with its water sports, beaches and restaurants. In addition, there are some fantastic hiking trails, many that welcome dogs, and the historic Sugar Pine Railroad, really fun!
