Stone's Throw Retreat - 13 Miles to Yosemite.

Stone's Throw Retreat is a cozy home that is ideal for families or close friends looking to get away from it all. It is conveniently located in a small neighborhood just “a stone’s throw” from Yosemite National Park, Bass Lake, Oakhurst and the Sierra National Forest. It's the ideal base for sightseeing, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, boating, skiing, shopping, and dining. Stone's Throw Retreat is just 13 miles from Yosemite!

This home’s vaulted ceiling makes it open, bright and spacious. From the living room and deck, you will have views of oak, cedar, and pine, and will often see deer, quail, or wild turkeys passing through! The deck is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view or the darkness of the mountain night sky.

The bedrooms are cozy and well kept. The upstairs master bedroom includes a private bathroom and shower as well as a small deck for that early morning quite coffee time. The two downstairs bedrooms have plenty of room and share a full-size bathroom.

Great value outside of Yosemite
This was a great home base for our visit to Yosemite. It takes a while to get into the park, but it's near grocery stores and restaurants, which was important to us. The house was also clean and well stocked and had toys for our kids to play with, and the hosts were very responsive.

We had a great time staying at “Stone Throws Retreat! Everything was as advertised! Great communications and everything!! My daughter had left her “Buddy” stuffed animal that has been on every vacation so far. They informed us that he was left and he went in a fantastic journey getting home!! He had pictures of his fun time!! Lol!! Definitely recommend anyone looking for a place to stay close to Yosemite National Park to check this property out!! Thank you Esmé for all you did for us!!

Yosemite Vacation
We loved staying here! We had a 9 year old and 2 year old and they both were perfectly happy to play with the toys Esme provided! We couldn’t bring everything we would need for this trip since we flew in. They had everything we would need to pack up a little picnic and more! I would 100% recommend a family with young children staying at Stone’s Throw!!
