3 Bedroom Chalet in Yosemite Area

Romantic evenings. A dance floor. Stargaze - look, there's Orion! Folks love no neighbors' lights and no traffic noise. Breathe pure, cool air (15 degrees cooler than town). Drink sweet, non-chlorinated water. The chalet is a comfortable base from which adventurous families launch serious explorations of Yosemite and the Sierra. Days begin with animated fly-ins of wild doves, stellar jays, dark-eyed juncos, grosbeaks who come to enjoy birdseed. Mariposa has high hummingbird concentration. Guests watch happily from comfortable chairs in the Great Room. Squirrels join the party. Sometimes, wild turkeys and gray foxes. Deer cross the meadow.

After Mother Nature's morning shock and awe, the chalet's bell sounds; time to travel through another portal to one of America's richest historical periods. We head for Gold Country Mariposa to enjoy the California Mining and Mineral Museum, the History Museum, one of our state's oldest newspapers, and tour California's oldest active courthouse. Amazing!

Close to Yosemite. Cool in summer. Secluded but convenient. A spectacular 45 minutes to Yosemite along the Wild and Scenic Merced River, this beautiful mountain chalet is your private portal to the magic and splendor of nature. Illuminated only by stars at night, the silence in the middle of the forest is ... deafening! The chalet is 10-15 degrees cooler in summer than neighboring communities because of tall trees and 3,800' elevation. - almost identical to Yosemite Valley.
