Once the private home of a skilled woodworker, Hunter House blends rustic charm with thoughtful design. Just 10 miles from Yosemite’s entrance, this spacious home features Bavarian-influenced architecture, warm wood details, and comfortable spaces to gather. Set on a private drive, it’s an ideal stay for families or groups looking for a quiet base near the park.

The space
Hunter House offers plenty of room to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time in the mountains — just 10.6 miles from Yosemite National Park. The main home features four bedrooms and generous shared spaces throughout. The master suite includes a king bed, a large private bath, and access to the outdoor shower. Two additional bedrooms have two queen beds each, while the fourth bedroom features a king bed and a cozy loft. A queen-size sofa sleeper is available in the living room for additional guests.

The home also includes a spacious dining area, a full kitchen, a separate family room with additional sleeper sofas, and balconies that bring you even closer to nature. A separate, private-entry unit with two queen beds and its own full bathroom is also available to rent upon request — perfect for additional friends, family, or those looking for a little extra privacy.
