    The Yosemite Country Cottage is just the place for families and friends looking for comfort, convenience and charm. The open floor plan is ideal for socializing and relaxing. Sitting atop a hillside on 13 acres of private property, the Country Cottage offers privacy, quiet surroundings and fantastic views. Leave the crowds, traffic and noise behind.

    The Country Cottage is conveniently located near Yosemite National Park and offers a variety of activities for all seasons. There is easy access to two nearby park entrances, Arched Rock Entrance Station (about 23 mi.) along the Wild and Scenic Merced River Canyon.
