Ponderosa Pines Escape, a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat in the heart of Mariposa's breathtaking countryside. Surrounded by pine trees and nestled on a hillside, this 1500-square-foot cabin offers total privacy on its 1.7-acre property with a creek attached. Relax on the 270-degree deck and take in the stunning mountain views, or soak in the hot tub and watch the sunset. Ponderosa Pines Escape is the perfect home base for exploring Yosemite National Park, with easy access to both the Arch Rock and South entrances. Enjoy hiking, bird watching, mountain biking, and more, then return to the cabin for a cozy evening by the fire pit or a game of ping pong. Inside, the cabin features mid-century-inspired decor with clean, modern touches. The spacious living room has a 65" TV, and the dining room offers mountain views. With 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds, there's ample sleeping space for families, couples, or friends. As our guest, you'll have full access to the entire property, including the fully equipped kitchen, living areas, and outdoor spaces. And don't forget about the friendly animals! Use the binoculars we provide to spot blue jays, hummingbirds, ravens, wild turkeys, and more. For your convenience, we've provided a list of nearby attractions and activities. And if you need anything during your stay, we're available 24/7 through the VRBO app. Please note that our home is pet-friendly, and we use a thorough cleaning process after each check-out to ensure the cleanliness of our property. Smoking is not allowed inside the home, and any evidence of smoking will result in odor removal and furniture cleaning fees. We ask that you treat our home as your own and refrain from hosting any parties or events. Please inform the owner or property manager if you have any unregistered visitors. Events or large gatherings on the property without prior written approval are not permitted. Our home features a strict cancellation policy and individual $500 fee for breaking any of the house rules. Please note that our property is in the greater Yosemite area, which is considered a high-risk fire area, all year round, and is not protected under AirBnB's extenuating circumstance policy. With this in mind, we recommend purchasing separate travel insurance. We're excited to have you as our guest at Black Bear Escape. Please let us know if you have any questions, and we'll be happy to assist you. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74700000/74696400/74696317/eb6d6b0b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Yosemite Southgate Waterfront Cabin 3 Bdrm Bass Lake Oakhurst Spa pets Specials!
