You'll see some one-of-kind details, from the live-edge floating shelves and mantle, to the handmade iron sconces over the wood burning stove and the custom hanging soffit over the countertop. The bathroom wood vanity was hand-carved from a butcher block found in an antique shop in the central valley.

A lovely scenic drive into Yosemite National Park. Located in between the west gate and south gate. Just 33.9 miles to the park entrance and 45 miles to the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center from the west gate.

Mariposa, its name is Spanish for "butterfly", after the flocks of monarchs seen overwintering there by early explorers. The town of Mariposa, first settled in 1849, is the southernmost in the Gold Rush chain of towns. The streets follow the original street grid laid out by John C. Fremont in 1850. Several disastrous early fires convinced settlers to rebuild with stone, brick and adobe. Consequently, many of today's existing structures in the historic downtown had been built by the late eighteen fifties, with most of the remaining ones completed by nineteen hundred. Because they have always been in use, the old buildings haven't had to be restored or recreated.

Change has come gracefully to Mariposa. Mariposa has retained the small town charm of a bygone era, so you won't see strip malls or chain stores, and Mariposa remains one of a handful of California towns without a stop light.

Our property is a 6 minute drive into the historic town of Mariposa. You'll find a full service grocery store, a health food store, bars, ice cream shop, restaurants & diners, a museum, retail shops, wine shops, olive oil tasting room and even a community park and public pool. So much to explore in Mariposa!

For a hassle-free trip into Yosemite, consider using the park n' ride in town; YARTS, will take you into the park, no entry-fee required. Call to confirm service is operational during your time of travel.

-Accommodates up to 8 adults
-Being in the mountains you should expect spotty phone signals. Before arrival, consider contacting your mobile phone provider and ask Wifi Calling be switched on for better phone service. Otherwise iOS FaceTime could work.
-Landline available for emergencies and local calls only.

Perfect Hideaway
The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a quick getaway to Yosemite. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings on the patio watching the sunset over the mountains. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Communication with the owners was fast and courteous- we would definitely stay here again. I absolutely loved the tranquil location!

Wonderful stay!
We've had this trip booked for months and we're so very much looking forward to it. We arrived very late at night and were so excited to see the lovely hand written note, fresh flowers, and best of all... coffee, creamer & sugar for our morning coffee! The home is inviting, comfortable and just as shown in the photos. We spent our days exploring Yosemite and the evenings cooking dinner on the grill and watching the sunset over the mountains. Thank you, Anh for providing us a lovely, welcoming place to call home. And... we loved watching the deer and turkeys each day! It was wonderful!

Beautiful getaway
Beautiful home, beautiful views. Owner very kind. Sent communication about needing a Yosemite pass way in advance, so we could get one. We were worried about fires, he kept in contract and they were out and we had great time hiking Yosemite. Don’t just hike the valley, take time to go up and see tenanya lake, may lake and other sites on Tiiga road. House had everything for cooking. All pans, spices. Beds very comfortable, sheets amazing. Even in the ridiculous heat the hot tub was great to come back to.

What a wonderful place!
This home is amazing! The great room and kitchen are so inviting when you open the door you realize you made the right choice! The view out the back is incredible, the hot tub is awesome and the fire pit was wonderful. Everything is modern but country chic, perfect for the area. The location was an easy hour drive to Yosemite Valley. We loved the privacy and the flock of wild turkeys that visited daily. Anh put a lot of thought into this home, wireless chargers on the night stands, portable fans in each bedroom (to drown out the silence)Lol. I could go on and on but needless to say we'll be back.

Beautiful sunsets
This house was lovely. Larger than it appears in the listing. Views from back patio are wonderful. Well stocked kitchen. Nice decor. Good location. We took the public transit but into Yosemite, which was the best call as we couldn't get park passes. Learned that you don't need one if you take the bus.

We loved our stay at the moon ranch. They had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including toys for the kids. The home was beautiful and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The kids toys were a hit and the hot tub was amazing with beautiful views. One of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in.

Moon Ranch
The Moon Ranch was the perfect weekend getaway for our group visiting Yosemite. Pictures do not do the beautiful property justice. We really enjoyed the space and the access to hot tub, grill, fire pit, etc. The hot tub and comfy beds were perfect after a long day on the trails. We will definitely be back in the future!

Beautiful interior and location is a little over an hour to Yosemite. The house has everything one would need for a stay in Mariposa. The kitchen area and outside deck were wonderful to watch the mountains and birds outside. Especially mornings in the hammock. Overall, a nice place to stay and would stay again!
