Évasion moderne en forêt avec prairie privée • 1h entrée Yosemite

Find your stillness at modern Penelope Pines - home away from home tucked into the quiet hills of Mariposa. Just 50 minutes to Yosemite’s Arch Rock entrance, this modern cabin is the perfect base for day hikes, stargazing and stillness with a view. No kids, no crowds - just pines, meadows, and peaceful simplicity.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a recharge-from-work weekend, or a nature-filled digital detox, Penelope Pines offers a curated setting for slow mornings and star-filled nights.

This is not a family cabin or a party spot - it’s for those who crave intentional space and simple comforts.

OUR GUESTS
This space is best suited for:
• Couples seeking a quiet escape
• Small friend groups looking for a base to explore Yosemite
• Writers, artists, or remote workers needing inspiration
• Nature lovers who prefer peaceful forest mornings over busy hotel lobbies

To preserve the serene environment, we kindly do not host children under 12 or large groups. Penelope Pines is intentionally free of hot tubs and party-oriented amenities - this is a home for those who value calm, cleanliness, and intentional design.

WHAT YOU WILL LOVE
• Private wooded setting with a meadow view
Rocking chairs on the back offer the perfect perch to watch turkeys, deer, or the occasional coyote wander by as the sun sets.

• King, Queen, and Twin beds
Outfitted with organic linens and blackout shades for restful forest sleep.

• High-speed internet (if you have to stay connected)
Great for remote work or guilt-free streaming in nature.

• Fully equipped kitchen
Perfect for real meals - though we won’t judge if your idea of “cooking” is wine and a charcuterie board.
Coffee lovers: Drip coffee or French press, and a grinder await. If single-origin beans aren’t your thing, we won’t hold it against you (please bring your own, no Keurigs).

• Streaming-ready Smart TV
Log in with ease - and yes, it logs you out automatically at checkout. One less thing to remember.

• Washer and dryer in unit
Starter supplies included. Use it, ignore it - your call. You're on vacation.

• Dog-friendly
We don’t discriminate by breed - only by behavior. You’re responsible for your pup’s actions, but we love well-mannered dogs.

• Nearby trails and a local pond
Lace up your boots or bring a fishing pole. Plenty to explore, right out your front door.

INTENTIONAL LIVING SPACE
Our Home was designed to reflect its surroundings - clean lines, natural textures, and open spaces mirror the stillness of the forest just outside. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable, light-filled living area with forest views, a cozy dining nook for shared meals or game nights, and two well-appointed bedrooms offering privacy and restful sleep.

The kitchen is stocked for real cooking, and the expansive deck is the ideal spot to start your day or unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the trees.
