It's a great location, midway between Mariposa and Oakhurst. Both Mariposa and Oakhurst are great areas for travelers, but with differing amenities and feel. Mariposa, 13 miles away, is picturesque and smaller. It's the closest town to the west entrance of Yosemite Park and the famous Yosemite Valley. (The west entrance is 41 miles from this rental home.) Oakhurst, 19 miles away, is the closest town to the south entrance of Yosemite (The south entrance is 35 miles from this rental home). Just inside the south entrance is the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and the Wawona area with it's huge historic Wawona Hotel/restaurant, natural swimming areas, pleasant hikes and Pioneer Yosemite History Center. Weekly BBQ (all-you-can-eat) picnics are served on the lawn of the Wawona Hotel on Saturday evenings all summer. Oakhurst has additional amenities like a multiplex movie theater and a multitude of shopping venues, grocery stores and dining choices. It is also near the Sugar Pine Railroad (a historic full-size steam locomotive providing narrated family-oriented excursions through the mountain slopes). On the way home from the south entrance, visit picturesque Bass Lake (23 miles from this rental home), with its many sandy beaches, hiking opportunities, boat rentals and restaurants. Bass Lake water is a perfect temperature for swimming in the summer.

After 18 miles you’ll see the Merced River Recreation Area at Briceburg. It has sandy beaches where you can have a family picnic, or stop to dip into the river on the way back from the park to cool off on a hot summer day. This area is also great for fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. For the more adventurous among you, rent a kayak or take a white water rafting trip with one of the commercial rafting companies that provide trips down portions of the river. Guests can also take Hwy 49 to Hwy 41 to drive through Yosemite's south entrance - a 41 mile drive from the vacation home. Traveling in that direction you can visit Bass Lake for swimming, boat rentals, beaches and restaurants. Also along Hwy 41, the historic Sugar Pine Railroad takes guests on a 4-mile narrated historical railway adventure through a scenic fir and pine forest pulled by a steam locomotive traversing original logging railbeds restored from the turn of the century.

Pioneer Market is the local grocery store. You'll also enjoy the local antique shops, gift shops and art galleries, some of which promote local artists. SPRING is the best time to see waterfalls at their peak in Yosemite Park. The snow remaining in the highest elevations melts and flows into streams that feed the waterfalls. Other than an occasional rain, you'll find very pleasant weather and smaller crowds for hiking. Some higher elevation hikes may be closed until late spring. This is a great time to raft the Wild and Scenic Merced River, or take amazing wildflower hikes in the Merced River Canyon or Hite's Cove, outside the park (March-May). SUMMER offers months of dry, warm, sunny weather. All hiking trails are open throughout the park. The high elevation roads to Glacier Point and Tioga Pass are open. This is a good time for horseback riding, morning hiking, bicycling, and even Merced River swimming in Yosemite and Briceberg Canyon. Bass Lake is another great place for swimming, boating and hiking. (Boat rentals available). The Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad is a fun family experience. AUTUMN is a wonderful time to hike in Yosemite! The gorgeous fall colors last for months. Cooler but comfortable weather and smaller crowds make this time of year special and invigorating! Some waterfalls have diminished flows, but Vernal and Nevada Falls are still spectacular! Plenty of sunshine despite an occasional rain. Family fun at the 4-day County Fair at the Mariposa Fair Grounds over Labor Day weekend. Amazing natural wonders at the CA State Mining and Mineral Museum. WINTER When snow begins to fall in Yosemite ice-skating, downhill skiing, and snowshoeing (especially in the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias) are special treats (rentals available). The mountains glisten in the sun. Hiking paths in Yosemite Valley are plowed and often free of snow. Make a snowman or go sledding. Horse-drawn sleigh rides or hayrides available at Christmas just outside the park. You’ll enjoy the brisk but varying weather if you dress in layers. Days are often clear, even in winter. In Mariposa, at 2,000 ft. elevation, snow is infrequent and melts, but if you want snow you can always find it at some elevation in Yosemite Park. Bring tire chains, which you are required to carry in your car when visiting the park. If you are looking for an adventurous vacation in a beautiful natural area, with gorgeous mountain views and easy access to Yosemite Park, you are sure to enjoy your stay at Deer Ridge Vacation Home!

POPULAR HWY 41 SOUTH GATE, CLOSE TO ATTRACTIONS. MANY ACCOMMODATIONS ARE MUCH FURTHER AWAY THAN OAKHURST, BASS LAKE, AND AHWAHNEE. AREA IS CENTRAL TO ALL ACTIVITIES, DINING, GROCERIES, HIKES, RAILROAD, HORSEBACK RIDING, ETC. People call the Ahwahnee Riverbend Area spectacular (it is), I call it Shangri-La. My family and I chose these beautiful mountain meadows for the weather and location. Our meadow is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It really is amazing and truly Warm and Wonderful. Check the reviews! All 5 STAR!! Less than 5 miles from Oakhurst and 15 minutes from Beautiful Bass Lake, too! Wait ‘til you see the house, check out the photos! There are private electric gates and a Redwood tree lined driveway entrance and separate exit for trucks, boats, and trailers. This house is 4800 sq ft (6 1/2 acres) of beautiful.

It's big, it's expensive (propane) but it is yours to use and heats really fast. If it is warm during the day it is quite lovely with the waterfall going. If you calculate roof size of house, barn, horse shelters, pool house, garage, breezeways, patio, porches (all covered), two well houses (plenty of water) there’s 10,000 sq ft of Malibu Blue roof on this lovely ranch style estate. The pool is quite large, about 40,000 gal and Jacuzzi (heats up fast) is about 450 gal. The natural rock waterfall is almost one story high. The deck around the pool has plenty of room for the four umbrellas and seating. One huge umbrella partially covers the pool for sun-sensitive guests. The Jacuzzi has a (November to March only) fire pit (propane) that is easy to use and wonderful to sit and talk. Warm and Wonderful motto is ‘Sit Long, Talk Much’. We are less than five miles from a rockin’ mountain village with 20 great restaurants, a full multi screen cinema, microbrewery, and Raley’s grocery; famous for quality markets in Bel Aire and Knob Hill. There are numerous art galleries, retail stores, and farmer’s markets. We are ½ mile from Hwy 49 and our area is very accessible. Our little paradise sits almost in the middle of the front (Oakhurst) and back (Mariposa) gates to Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is too beautiful for words. You can ride a narrow gage logging train, see Glacier Point, Bridleveil Falls, or just wander the glories of nature. Now THAT is truly spectacular. If you like water sports, 12 miles away you can play at Bass Lake (four more large lakes are less than an hour away) in season waterskiing, boating, fishing (rod + fly) and a classy restaurant and bar with patio overlooking the lake and boat dock. The lake is beautiful because spring rain makes it clean, crisp, and clear. Just 1 ½ miles north on Hwy 49 is the hottest Cowboy bar in two counties with dancing, big screen TV for sports, great food and tons of local ‘color’. We are less than a mile from ‘Open Range’ where cattle and their calves graze along the road and we have a working cattle ranch two miles away where you can watch real cowboys (and cowgirls) sort and rope cattle. You can pan for gold (good luck with that) a half mile away at a secluded riverside park. We’re walking distance from a darling nine hole golf course with restaurant, bar, and available for special events; as is the Golf Course. The meadows in this area are lovely and perfect for all season activities as you see from the photos of the estate. SO MUCH TO DO, YOU WILL LOVE IT!! If you are road weary travelers, couples wishing an exclusive get-away (rarely see neighbors, they are some distance away), best friends that just want to ‘chill’, or crave to wander the mountains with your equine pet (I have maps)—This is the place for you. Summer is fun and winter is exciting here at Ahwahnee Riverbend. Snow at 2000 feet elevation usually only lasts until 10am when the sun comes out, which makes travel much easier. But no worries! There is usually plenty of snow in the ‘Snow Play’ area up in the Nat’l Forest, 12 miles up the mountain. Badger Pass is the spot and cross country is everywhere you hike in the summer! People love to snow shoe, sleigh ride, cross-country and sled. You can trail ride all year long, summer in the mountains, winter down on the flats. You can 4-wheel drive, Yosemite Zip, horseback ride, hike, bike, ride the railroad, work cattle, ski (both kinds), swim, sightsee, shop, browse art galleries, eat, play, and love. This is my home. I left LA, found Ahwahnee and never looked back. One of my best friends already bought a place here, another best buddy is looking for property, and two of my Sisters have estates nearby. What does that tell you? I love it, horses love it, dogs love it, kids love it, EVERYBODY loves it, you will, too. This is a beautiful area and a super place to stay. Check the reviews!! Warmest regards, Louisa yes fyi, if you get all the way down to here, I applaud you. The neighbors on several sides have dinky everything at 25% more per night. Warm and Wonderful is a big beautiful place for less than a hotel. Lastly, everyone tells me the next nicest place is $900!! a night. P.S.-It IS nicer, but double the cost? AND not as accessible. Nothing to worry about, you decide.

The location is ideal. Along a river bend, with mountain views, graceful trees, spectacular waterfall swimming pool/spa and much, much more. The challenge with this property will be leaving it! At the entryway, and around the property, are enormous granite rock outcroppings. The home has accents inside and out of granite stones, a redwood paneled master bath, oak mantels, all harvested from the property. The polished concrete floors keep the home cool in the hot summer, and help maintain the warmth in the cold winter months. The ceilings are beamed and finished in pine.

Play a round of golf, or enjoy a sandwich at the rustic clubhouse, which is also adorned in granite & pine decor. Head on back to the river, grab a volleyball & couple of friends & hit the ball around the sandy beach volleyball court. Feel the cool sand between your toes. Maybe perch yourself on a granite rock & reflect on when Miwok Indians used the grinding stones to make meal, or give it a try yourself. Set up the croquet set & play a round with your mates. The river is more like a creek in August & September, so there is a lot more sandy area to explore. Some say there’s gold in that river. So, try your luck at panning for some gold right out your door. Maybe a nice nugget for your jewelry box, or a couple flakes as a memento of your trip. Of course, we are not making any promises and do be careful of all the fools gold in the river! If the season's right, pick some fruit out of the trees, or berries. Cut a sprig of rosemary, an iris, rose, lavender, or wild-flower or two for the bud vase in the bathroom or kitchen. Before you head home, or on to your next destination, give the laundry room a work out and pack your bags with clean clothes. Of course, if you want to extend that vacation feeling, there is a local cleaner close by. If you have been able to resist the tire swing, take a spin or two before you leave. Maybe your last night could be spent sleeping in the hammock in the trees.

'When we arrived, we thought we'd died and gone to Heaven, when we departed, we knew we'd found Heaven on Earth...WHAT a PLACE!' 2/27/11 THE LIVING, KITCHEN & DINING AREAS... SierraScape’s living room has beautiful Oak flooring, high, open-beam ceilings and includes a leather love seat and several comfortable chairs, the incredible stone fireplace (firewood provided), Stereo system w/iPod port, large, Flat-Screen TV w/DVD/VCR and extensive satellite programming. We also provide DVR and Hopper here for the convenient recording of your favorite sports events and other TV programs. There is an abundance of board games, an interesting collection of books and novels as well as direct access out the French doors, leading directly out to the back deck area, creek and SPA. 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, Granite countertops, gas stove, refrigerator, stainless sink with professionally maintained purified RO drinking water, dishwasher, microwave, multiple windows and a BEAUTIFUL view... 'SO glad we happened to find this place while surfing the web. We had a wonderful stay, everything was perfect.' THE BEDROOMS & BATHS...

The Room With a View is located on the third level, at the end of the catwalk which overlooks the first floor and has high, open-beam ceilings, TV with satellite programming, a King-size bed, beautiful view and French doors that lead out onto a private balcony, overlooking the creek.

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 creek. The creek is seasonal however there is typically water running 7-9 months of the year (usually winter to early summer) and small, grassy pools amongst the rocks year-round. "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." 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. A plethora of outdoor 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. We do have two CATS on the property, a crucial presence in the mountains for the the purpose of critter control, they are NOT allowed in the house but please, be aware, they are there. PLEASE NOTE: these cats are essential for rodent control, they are savvy, for sure but if you’re traveling with a DOG that is CAT AGGRESSIVE, please, book another place. ** LOCATION ** Why stay in Mariposa as opposed to 'IN' the park?? Check the LOCATION 'in Yosemite'! Fish Camp and Wawona require nearly the same travel time to Yosemite Valley as does Mariposa but Hwy 140 from Mariposa allows for faster travel year-round (it's 25-35 mph. 'inside' Yosemite, not so on Hwy 140), and FAR safer travel in the winter months (this Hwy being the ONLY 'All-Weather' highway, remaining open during all four seasons). PRIVACY is another reason, 'in Yosemite' also tends to mean 'in a development', check on NEIGHBOR PROXIMITY, expected NOISE levels and PARKING access, our Mariposa places are all PRIVATE, secluded, QUIET and have plenty of convenient parking. ACCESS TO TOWN, make sure you won't be wanting the convenience of being five to ten minutes from all that our quaint, historic town has to offer if you do decide to stay 'inside Yosemite', and be prepared to plan accordingly... access to town from SierraScape is a snap! And finally, COST... We simply offer more, for less ;-). * 4 hours from Los Angeles * 3 hours from the Monterey/Carmel By The Sea area *2.5 hours from the Greater SF Bay Area/Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento International Airports. * 1 hour from Fresno International Airport **40 minutes from Yosemite National Park (via Hwy 140, and the drive is magnificent) **55 minutes to YOSEMITE VALLEY (approx.) via the the Hwy 140, ARCH ROCK ENTRANCE **90 minutes to Badger Pass Ski Resort **50 min to Yosemite's South Entrance, (GLACIER POINT, Wawona, GIANT SEQUOIAS etc.) **10 min to town (Mariposa), 25 min to Oakhurst, 35 min to Bass Lake 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! ** PLEASE NOTE: 'INSTANT QUOTES' ARE ESTIMATES ONLY - SOME ADDITIONAL COSTS NOT INCLUDED IN QUOTE ARE CLEARLY DETAILED WITHIN THE NOTES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RATES section.

The cabin is set back along a charming winding driveway on five quiet acres with nothing to hear but the birds and the breeze through the large oak trees that make for special shade. (Yet, you have the best of both worlds, because a convenience store, great little restaurant and gas station are just a mile away. You might want to ask how far other private rustic cabins are from picking up that quart of milk. :-) The cabin is also the perfect hideaway in the fall, winter and spring. When it snows, the property, with its special setting, is usually covered with only a lighter layer of snow allowing easier access, while still providing our guests with that inviting and beautiful snowscape.

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.

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.
