Delightful Home and Property Minutes from Yosemite

Heartstone House is a two bed two bath custom built mountain retreat located just 8 miles from the western gate of Yosemite National Park. The house is situated above the Merced River with access to some of the finest river stretches imaginable.

Heartstone House is a perfect launchpad for outdoor enthusiasts to explore all the Yosemite Valley and Merced River Canyon have to offer, and for artists, dreamers and spiritualists to reset, reflect and create. The home is situated in a rural neighborhood where wildlife abounds, where the beauty of the outside world and the comfort of the interior are in harmony, and the song of the Merced River fills the soundscape. Situated at a friendly elevation of 1,500 feet, the house is surrounded by mixed oak and conifer woodlands.

There are two bedrooms, each appointed with luxe linens and duvets, and two en suite bathrooms in the house, as well as a futon sofa bed on the mezzanine and basic gym equipment in the screened-in porch. The space is well suited for a group of friends, two couples, or a small family.

The kitchen is well equipped with enthusiastic home cooks in mind, including full-size appliances and a counter-height bar that connects with the living and dining rooms.

During your stay, the house will be your private oasis. An additional home studio is located on the property and inhabited by a quiet, respectful long term tenant. Feel free to explore the yard within the fenced areas. Also make sure to enjoy the incredible night sky views from the porch during your stay!

Beautiful!
We had such an amazing and comfortable stay-there was plenty of room for our family of 4 to spread out and relax. The landscaping was beautifully designed, we spent our evenings eating dinner on the back deck watching the hummingbirds and quails. The kitchen was well supplied and the outdoor grill was perfect for meals. We appreciated the mini library that included local interest books and the super comfortable beds. We were only 15 min from the entrance to Yosemite and the owners were very helpful with the pre-trip planning info about the reservation system, closest grocery stores and restaurants. Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Gem of a property near Yosemite
Heartstone is a gem of a property very near the Arch Rock entrance to Yosemite. Home was immaculately clean and the kitchen was well-stocked with appliances, cooking supplies and herbs for cooking. Our family of four was very comfortable here and enjoyed the woodstove oven as well dining al fresco and walking to the very nearby Merced River. Thank you!

Fantastic Property
Everything about this property was as advertised or better. One of the more thoroughly equipped VRBO properties I have stayed at. Very well located to the entrance of Yosemite and peaceful and relaxing. Would book this again with pleasure.

Beautiful home and location
We loved our stay in this house, and the location is ideal, both for access to Yosemite and for just hanging out and enjoying the immediate and gorgeous area—with the rushing water of the Merced River providing soothing sounds all the while. Highly recommended.

Incredible location for a vacation at Yosemite!!! What a beautiful home!
Perfect vacation location for our family of 4. I did a lot of research on Yosemite and we wanted a peaceful location away from the crowds. We stayed at this property in El Portal during mid July when we knew the park would be busy. This home is just amazing. So peaceful and relaxing. We could sit outside and enjoy the sound of the Merced river below and see bats, quails and deer. Everything was perfect. Air conditioning, cozy beds, relaxing common areas. Great communication with the host and information about the area. This was an outstanding choice for our stay! So happy we found this property and thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful home! Such an easy way to enjoy Yosemite!! Everything was perfect!

Fantastic Yosemite House!
We loved our stay in this beautiful house and property close to Yosemite! The house is clean, comfortable, and as described. The beds are very comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped and great for cooking, which worked well because there are not many restaurants close by! We would absolutely return to this house for our next trip to Yosemite!
