IMPORTANT: IF BRINGING A DOG TELL US BEFORE YOU ARRIVE (PET FEE WILL APPLY) Conveniently located off Highway 49 in California's Gold Country, on a historic parcel known as Trabucco Gardens. During the Gold Rush days, Trabucco Gardens was a parcel of land cultivated as a vegetable garden, while Forty-Niners discovered gold in the area. The historic rock walls on property mark the perimeter where the garden once grew. The joy of discovery continues here today. Now you can discover the vast riches our universe has to offer. Trabucco Gardens, located on 17 acres, provides you with a grand opportunity to stargaze using the observatory telescope. The robotic GO-TO telescope is available during your stay, and included in the rental cost. The open, rural nature of the property, which is considered "above the fog and below the snow", provides you with many clear night opportunities, even in winter. The Trabucco Gardens House, newly constructed in 2007, is well appointed and available year round. Mariposa, the county seat, which is 10 miles south, has many essential services, along with many wonderful dining, shopping, and historic sightseeing experiences. Yosemite National Park's West entrance is located about 45 minutes away up Highway 140 from Mariposa. We provide housekeeping service (not daily maid service), before and after your stay. Courtesy towels, paper products, coffee, tea, cocoa and guest soap are provided to welcome you on the day you arrive. Personal key code access provides you with convenience and security. Along with a fold-away sofa bed in the living room, a queen-sized inflatable Aero-Bed is provided for extra sleeping accommodations. Because of the rural nature of the area, there is abundant opportunity for wildlife sightings, such as deer, wild turkey, coyote, bobcat, birds of prey, and perhaps an occasional bear. Seasonal creeks at the North and South ends of the property flow during winter and spring. Make sure to leave some time in your schedule during your stay for stargazing too. Using the telescope, beautiful views of the Orion Nebula, Andromeda Galaxy, Hercules Cluster, and many other deep sky objects are yours to behold. The telescope offers a TOUR mode, which takes you to the best and brightest objects in the sky during your stay. Stargazing doesn't get any easier than this. What on EARTH are you waiting for? Go mining in the INFINITE FRONTIER above! An inspiring adventure of discovery for the young and the young-at-heart is here at Trabucco Gardens.

The night sky here is perfect to star gaze especially with a small observatory with a telescope to see the stars. Mike, the host, is easy to contact and keep in touch with when you need anything or have any questions. The house is cozy and well maintained. We appreciated the details and signage throughout the house. The kitchen is equipped with all cooking essentials. Bear in mind that you are a decent drive away from any markets so stock up prior to arrival. It’s about an hour drive to the entrance of Yosemite but you will get to enjoy the drive along the Merced river as you approach the gates. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dad5156e-0fb9-4ac8-870b-60ba839cf872-1751355762506.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a5abd62f-6e91-4097-8c19-eca2a333efee-1751355762912.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ed926e5-f7c6-4c59-913e-16d713773353-1751355760796.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/257558a8-edd3-4c75-a930-7be0f5a3336e-1751355761759.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Don N.

All features were available as listed, and the cabin was very well-maintained. Views from the cabin were spectacular, offering serenity and moments for reflection. The host was very responsive throughout the stay. The location is within an hour drive to Yosemite National Park, so we enjoyed multiple visits there. I highly recommend the cabin. Though not excessive, the livingroom area was bit chilly outside gas-powered heater's operational hours due to central heater's max temperature limit. ##### Dongwook C.

One upgrade I think the owner should make is making part of the porch screened in so you can enjoy the evening time without being attacked by bugs, ##### Paul i.

May 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### WOW...Mariposa and Yosemite in sunset + SNOW We were blown away by the beauty of God's creation and the incredible setting on this property and the idyllic log cabin yet modern feel. If you want boring corporate straight lines and not timber, fireplaces, telescopes, river, mountain sunrises and sunsets please stay away and leave this property for the rest of us. if I didn't live in Australia I'd be back next year. Since I can't it's wide open for a March- April stay. The property is identical to photos but what you can;t properly appreciate is the setting nestled in a valley, river below, sunrises over one hill behind the property, sunsets over another in front. It's the one place on our 15 day California USA trip we would have loved to have added a rest day into to just hang around on site. I loved Yosemite in 1985 in the summer...but I was enchanted by both Yosemite and this Bear Valley/Mariposa region in late winter/early spring. Bucket list ticked...but I want more... PS Site manger Troy was great. Do yourself a favor and get to know at least one local...it's worth it...they're worth it. ##### Scott T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carl T. Dec 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A cozy, private cabin in the mountains We spent two nights here on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Even though there was another cabin 200ft away, we felt completely on our own the entire weekend. The furniture was a bit older, but I reckon they are going to be replacing them at some point. This wasn't a huge deal for us, as we spent most of our time outdoors. One thing that was disappointing was the fact that the observatory was difficult to operate--this is not a layman's tool! Mike was easy to communicate with, and simplified the instructions for us, but we just could not get it working properly. It's not anyone's fault, just the nature of the device. We were really excited to use it since it looked amazing! But we ended up just looking at the stars with our own eyes--we even saw the brightest shooting star we've ever seen, so everything worked out in the end. It's so quiet, peaceful, and serene here. If you're looking to get away from the noise, this is a place to be. Mariposa is a small but charming town with rich history if you look hard enough. If we ever come back here, or want to stay near Yosemite, we'll probably come right back here! Thank you so much for the stay, Mike! ##### Carl T.

May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful setting, comfy cabin, easy to recommend The setting and cabin are great. Communication is excellent without being intrusive. Kitchen has all you need. Bed in the upstairs is comfortable. It would be a grwat spot if you needed a week or so to...write a book, soul search, finish a project. It just had that kind of feel. It was the perfect launching/landing pad for our Yosemite day. ##### Tom K. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication EXCEPTIONAL! This is by far the best cabin we have stayed in. It ishas extra linens and towels, laundry soap, dish soap, a roll away bed, spices, hair dryer and so many other small things you just forget to pack. The barn has a vending machine with snacks and drinks. The owner is very quick to respond and was very helpful when I had questions. This is a clean, comfortable home away from home. ##### Kimberly Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liam R.

There was a meteor shower the first night and my husband was lucky enough to see a meteor through the telescope! Wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Suzanne P.
