Yosemite Pines Family Retreat - Pool, Spa & Mini Ponies


Welcome to Yosemite Pines Retreat in the Woods

Make your Yosemite trip part adventure, part resort say. Yosemite Pines Retreat gives your family a private pool, hot tub, huge landscaped yard, two story playhhouse-and even miniature ponies waiting just outside.

Nestled among towering, 100+ year-old ponderosa pines, Yosemite Pines Retreat offers a serene setting perfect for reconnecting with nature and loved ones. Whether you’re planning a fun family getaway or a romantic escape, this property has something for everyone.

Nature, Play & Relaxation All in One Place
Enjoy visits from deer, bunnies, and wild turkeys as you sip your morning coffee. Relax in the heavenly garden, gather around the fire pit for s’mores under a sky full of stars, take a dip in the above-ground pool (open May–September), soak in the spa, or challenge your group to a lively game of ping-pong or horseshoes.

For the little ones, there’s a custom two-story playhouse complete with swings, and a climbing wall (110 lb weight limit). And yes — there are miniature ponies! Friendly and gentle, they live just steps from the house and love visitors.

Comfortable Living for Groups or Couples
The home features 1,600 sq. ft. of living space with 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a fully equipped laundry room. It comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests.

Inside, you’ll find all the essentials: linens, towels, paper products, soaps, and cleaning supplies. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and dining, and the dining table seats eight comfortably for shared meals and conversation.

You can hike Yosemite’s iconic trails (including Half Dome), go white-water rafting on the Merced River, fish, bike, or explore nearby museums, galleries, and live music at the Mariposa Art Park in summer.

Whether you’re chasing adventure or relaxation, Yosemite Pines Retreat is a quiet haven that brings you close to it all—while offering peace, privacy, and plenty of charm.

Our family of 5 really enjoyed this property! Private and quiet. Away from light pollution so the dark skies were amazing! Exactly what we were looking for. It was so sweet to be greeted by Oliver and French Fry everyday. And Eddie the cat was a sweetheart. House was clean and beds were comfortable. Great location for access to Yosemite. Would definitely stay here again!

The Yosemite Pines Retreat was excellent for our family of 6! Beth was a friendly, responsive hostess. The kitchen is well-stocked with any utensil you may need. The pool, hot tub, fire pit, cornhole, ping-pong were all used every day! It was the perfect retreat after long hiking days. Downtown Mariposa is charming and we ate at some great restaurants!

On the day of the start of our trip, we told the host, Beth, that our arrival would be delayed due to some health challenges at home. She was so kind to leave the retreat house lit up with an unlocked back door. Very appreciative of her attention - we would've been lost in the dark without her help We used the home we a base for seeing Yosemite. This required a lot of driving. One the first day it took over 2.5 hours to get into the Arches Entrance due traffic. The next two days, we timed it differently and went before 10 am with no wait. Overall, our stay was lovely and we're glad we chose this rental for our first time exploring Yosemite.
