This lovingly owner-managed property will perfectly suit a variety of guests: the family looking for a sprawling space to play and make memories, a group of friends connecting with nature needing that restful space to recharge between adventures, or a couple seeking a romantic escape. Furry family members are also welcome!
With a curated designer interior, room to spread out, extra-comfortable accommodations, a bubbling hot tub, an exquisite mountain backdrop, and all the amenities one could wish for, this property will be an ideal place to gather together.
Living Spaces:
With an open and airy floor plan, everything in this home is conveniently situated for single-floor living. The living space is open and inviting, with a set of accent chairs in front of the cozy wood-burning stove. It’s the perfect spot to sit and chat with a loved one, read a best seller, sip a cup of tea, or stoke a fire on a chilly eve.
You'll want to pause in the carefully tailored spaces throughout this home. The living room area will welcome you to sink into the comfy couch with a glass of wine. The room is flooded with natural light through the windows and sliding patio doors with panoramic mountain views.
Snuggle up for a movie on the wall-mounted flatscreen, or choose a game from the many options.
Little ones have also been considered throughout the space; with a mini game table, toys, books, a pack-n-play, and lots of family-friendly games, there is something for all family members to enjoy.
In the garage, there is more room to spread out and enjoy a friendly game of foosball or ping pong.
Kitchen & Dining:
Rounding out the open-concept floor plan is the beautifully updated kitchen with a centerpiece dining island large enough to seat seven or more on stools.
This darling country kitchen has every appliance and cookware amenity to inspire a home-cooked meal: an oversized farmhouse sink, dishwasher, gas range, microwave, a French door fridge with drawer freezer, a coffee maker, water boiler, toaster, Kitchenaid mixer, Instant Pot, and a blender.
Finding cookware and dinnerware is a breeze with conveniently labeled shelves. Basics like olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, a set of 18 different spices, coffee, and tea are provided. The long counter offers plenty of space to spread out and feed a group.
Take your meal al fresco and make dinner on the large propane grill on the patio. The comfy outdoor table has room for six.
Bedrooms & Baths:
The bedrooms and bathrooms in this home are thoughtfully accented with comfortable and cozy touches. The fresh decor produces tranquil surroundings with a relaxed feel. Guests will be sure to have restful nights on high-quality memory foam mattresses and quality cotton linens. The home can accommodate up to nine guests in the three bedrooms.
The primary bedroom offers a king bed with an ensuite bathroom with a shower. Guests can utilize the designated workspace for some remote work while away. The walk-in closet provides plenty of space to put clothes away and settle in. There is an oversized armchair that can extend to a twin bed and room for up to two pack-n-plays with mattresses. The bedroom opens to the patio path leading to the hot tub.
Bedroom two has a queen-size bed and daybed that opens to a queen for additional sleeping space. Bedroom three has a king bed and walk-in closet. Bedrooms two and three share a second full bathroom with a shower-bath.
Guests will also have use of the washer/dryer and iron/ironing board.
Outdoor Amenities:
The setting of this home is magical: nestled into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains on five secluded acres with rolling rocky terrain accented by wildflower meadows and scattered trees. A 200-year-old live oak keeps watch over the homestead connecting past and present. Children will love the wooden playset, while everyone will love the patio providing an outdoor living area and hot tub for soothing soaks. The views surrounding the home are exquisite. Enjoy the sunrise from the mountains in the east and go to rest in the mountains to the west.
While our home is located within close proximity of Yosemite, it is not part of it, so our guests will be able to enjoy the beauty of the area at their leisure.
