About this place
Stunning Views @ Yosemite Gold Rush Ranch. 36mi to Yosemite, Pickleball, EV
Escape to your own private 9-acre mountain estate with stunning Sierra views and a Pickleball court. This modern cabin sits on top of a ridge with total privacy with deer and rabbits roam freely. Just 36 miles from Yosemite’s year-round entrance, enjoy a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, private pickleball court, BBQ grill, and custom fire pit. Perfect luxury retreat for families or romantic getaways!
What You’ll Love About This Place:
Breathtaking Views Everywhere
Every single room offers unobstructed Sierra Mountain panoramas through large windows. Wake up to sunrise over the peaks from your bed or the back deck—postcard-perfect moments await you daily.
Wildlife & Total Seclusion
Watch deer and rabbits wander freely across your private 9 acres—nature’s entertainment right outside your door in complete peaceful quiet.
Private Pickleball Court with 360° Views
Challenge your group to matches on your own court positioned downhill with sweeping Sierra panoramas. Bring your paddles for games with the most spectacular backdrop imaginable!
Custom Fire Pit Paradise
Your backyard oasis features a stunning custom rock fire pit where you’ll spend magical evenings under star-blanket skies. Watch the Milky Way emerge as mountain light fades to darkness—pure tranquility with zero neighbors in sight.
Gourmet Kitchen Paradise
Brand new kitchen with premium appliances and everything a chef could want: full cookware sets, InstantPot, rice cooker, BBQ grill, plus serious coffee setup including Oxo burr grinder, Hario v60 pour-over, and Ninja coffee maker.
Three Full Bathrooms
Master suite with king bed and soaking tub, second bedroom with twin beds and tub/shower combo, plus convenient main bathroom with stand-in shower. Your whole group can get ready comfortably.
Modern Minimalist Comfort
The great room showcases contemporary design with Sonos sound system and crackling wood stove for cozy ambiance. Roku TV in guest mode connects to your streaming services via high-speed Starlink internet.
Eco-Luxury Powered by Nature
Our solar panels and batteries provide clean, quiet power even during outages. Heat pump keeps you comfortable year-round, while Level 2 EV charger by the barn ensures your electric vehicle is adventure-ready.
Sleeping arrangement:
Bedroom 1 (Master) has king size bed and ensuite bathroom.
Bedroom 2 has a queen bed + a bunk twin bed with its own ensuite bathroom. Note that the 2nd bedroom is not private. You have to walk through the 2nd bedroom to reach the Master Bedroom. So the home is suited more for a single family than multiple families vacationing together.
The Living Room has a Queen sofa bed and comes with bedding for a good night sleep.
We provide all of the bedding and bath linens for your use during your stay. We also provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, toilet paper, tissue, paper towels and trash bags. There is also a washer and dryer if you need to get laundry done. We have high speed Starlink Internet (300MBPS) and a level 2 EV Charger for your Teslas, Rivians and any EV with a J1772 plug.
**Other Details To Note**
Security Cameras:
Please note we have two exterior cameras for security purposes - one in front of the house facing the driveway and one at the gate as you enter the property.
Drinking Water: Our well water tastes great. It's double filtered through a whole house filter and there's a Brita filter in the kitchen for additional filtration. Please bring your reusable water bottles and save money and our planet. Thanks!
Internet:
With Starlink Internet, you can combine work and play. On average we get 300MBPS down / 100MBPS up which is great for Zoom calls for your whole group.
Electric Vehicle Charging (Additional Cost):
We have a standard level 2 EV charger that you can use to charge any EV for an additional cost. We will let you know exactly how much you used during your stay and charge you what the power company will charge us for KWH used at the end of your trip. Tesla owners, don’t forget to get your J1772 adapter!

Groceries & Restaurants:
Since we are between Mariposa and the Park, it would be convenient to do your groceries in Mariposa on the way to the home. Pioneer Market is open until 10:00 pm throughout the year. There’s also an organic country health food store that we love with lots of vegetarian options. They usually close at 7:30 PM.
There are a few nice restaurants in Mariposa that might require reservations during busy times of the year. None of them stay open super late, so please call ahead.

Meet the Host
Rekha and I live in the Bay Area area and love the outdoors. California has some great national parks and we visit them multiple times a year with our three boys to hike, backpack, and watch and photograph wildlife. We host three homes on Airbnb - one near Yosemite and two just outside Lassen National Park.
