About this house rental
Tenaya's Retreat is tucked away in Midpines directly on the route to Yosemite Valley! We welcome you to our Family Retreat. We chose the name Tenaya's Retreat after Chief Tenaya. He was the last chief of our tribe known as the Ahwahneechees, Yosemite Indians. On the walls are pictures of our ancestors going back six generations, along with a picture of our mother, Princess Tenaya with Cheif LeeMee. This property was given to our Great-Great Grandmother Tu-Tu-Ya (foaming water) or Maira Lebrado in 1892 from her husband. Unfortunately she lost the property for unpaid taxes (so they say). However in 2016 our sister was able to get the property back into our family. We hope you enjoy your stay and find beauty and serenity here like our ancestors.
When you arrive at the home you will immediately feel welcomed by the peacefulness of the surroundings. The front door enters into a living room with a large couch for relaxing along with a flat screen tv and the historic wall of our honored ancestors. Past the living room is a large fully stocked kitchen, with everything you would need for your stay and a cute breakfast nook! Directly out the door of the kitchen is a private patio with an outdoor dining set and a BBQ. The house has 3 bedrooms, with tv's in each bedroom, and 2 bathrooms. This is a perfect house for traveling with family or friends. Its just a short drive to Yosemite. Yosemite's park gate is about 20 miles from the house. This is a perfect location to come home to, after a day in the park, to relax and BBQ!! The town of Mariposa is only 7 miles away, where there is a large grocery store, gas stations, boutique shopping and many excellent restaurants.

A clean and comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood with a decor that celebrates a community and a family's history. Located just off a state highway, Tenaya's Retreat served as an excellent home base for multiple day trips to Yosemite National Park. The property exceeded our expectations and we felt very welcomed by our host from the moment we arrived. Should we have the opportunity to return to Yosemite, we will look to return to Tenaya's Retreat.

This place was absolutely fabulous. The host has anything you could think of to make the stay as accommodating as possible. Communication was top notch. Definitely will be back.

Our stay was extremely convenient and well stocked with a full kitchen and ample space for four adults split between three rooms. The location was very close to Mariposa and about as close to Yosemite as you can be. We would book again.

It was nice, the place it really clean and comfy. The only thing was the communication with the host I never got any instructions on how to get inside the property, I texted the host to get more details about the check in but I got no response. Me and my friends arrived to the property not knowing the passcode to access we try calling the hostess on the phone number they had at the entrance of the property but we never got an answer. Me and my friends just stared trying to dial different combinations of numbers and after multiple tryouts we got it. We never got any call or text back from any of the hostess which leave a bad impression for us. Like I mention before the place its beautiful everything it’s clean and we loved it but a little bit more communication would have been nice on the check in process.
