From its location close to Highway 140– the ‘All-Year Highway’ to Yosemite National Park–you are only 5 miles to the Park boundary, and minutes to the incomparable Yosemite Valley. With a fully-equipped kitchen, 2 gas fireplaces, the ONLY private in-ground swimming pool among Yosemite area vacation rentals, and a large deck overlooking the river, YOSEMITE’S RIVER HOUSE is a year-round vacation destination from which to enjoy the sights, sounds, and recreational activities of the ‘crown jewel of national parks’.With 3 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa, YOSEMITE’S RIVER HOUSE can accommodate up to 8 guests. One bedroom has a queen bed, a gas fireplace surrounded by beautiful local rock, and a sublime river view. A second bedroom also has a queen bed, a pool view, and an adjoining full bathroom. The 3rd bedroom has a bunk bed, with a twin mattress on top and a double on bottom. A second full bathroom has been newly renovated in an Art Deco style. The kitchen has everything you’ll need, and you’ll love the view from the sink, watching the river roll by. The living room has ample comfortable seating, a stone fireplace with gas insert, a 42′ HDTV, and DVD player. Wireless internet is also available.The El Portal area has a fascinating history. The Yosemite Valley Railroad, which ran on what is now Incline road, operated from 1906 until 1942. Before Highway 140 was completed in 1926, the railroad carried passengers to El Portal, from where they would continue their journey to Yosemite via horse-drawn carriages, and later motor-coaches. On the return trip to Merced, the train carried sugar pine logs back to the sawmill.YOSEMITE’S RIVER HOUSE is on Incline Road (the former railroad bed), a level, paved lane parallel to the Merced River. Because so few cars travel the road, it is ideal for walking, running, skating, and biking. Guests at YOSEMITE’S RIVER HOUSE can take advantage of a variety of seasonal activities in the area, including:*river rafting, kayaking, and some of California’s premier wildflower walks in the spring.*swimming in the on-site pool and local swimming holes in the summer.*downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing at family-friendly Badger Pass in the winter.*trout and bass fishing in season.*photography, hiking, bird and wildlife watching, rock hounding, and phenomenal star-gazing all year round.Staying at YOSEMITE’S RIVER HOUSE is an affordable family vacation, especially when 2 families share the rental and food costs. Upon returning to the house after a day of fun activities, refresh by the pool or relax on the deck and listen to the soothing sounds of the Wild and Scenic Merced River. Cook outside on the gas BBQ, have a delightful meal outdoors, and savor your vacation at our unique location in El Portal, the Gateway to Yosemite.Keywords: House
