Family-friendly vacation rentals in Madera County

Amazing place, very well kept and easy to maintain during stay. Everything you could possibly need in a kitchen. Gated yard was incredible to be able to have my dog play safely.

Such a lovely spot! the cabin was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 5 kids. Everything was just as described and nice and clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the tools you can need. Our favorite part though was the hot tub! my only advice would be to bring a white noise machine or earplugs as you can hear everything in the house at night and the loft has a curtain door. Thanks for a great stay! We would love to come back@

I had a great stay at Terri’s place! The cabin was clean, spacious, quiet, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed hiking on a couple of nearby trails, which made the trip even better. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Overall we had a lovely stay. Everything was as described in the listing and it was a great base to explore Yosemite from. It was easy to find, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was great! We found a few things the cleaners seemed to have missed, which we communicated to Jessica; she did mention getting the cleaners to come back but we had just been cleaning up ourselves as we discovered them. There was firewood outside, but none dry inside, and no matches, fire starters or kindling. We let Jessica know but need to buy our own matches, etc; a bit troublesome since the fire is the main source of heating for the house. Jessica did let us know the day we checked out about a specific wood pile that was supposed to be drier than the one by the door we used. Once the fire was lit the house was very warm. We'd definitely recommend Jessica's property - it's in a great location and was a really cosy place for a winter holiday.

Copper Lodge is an amazing location within an hour of both the South and Arch Rock entrances to Yosemite National Park. The photos and description are accurate, but do not do the complex of 3 cabins justice. You just have to experience it. Though this trip was just a quiet getaway for my wife and I, we could see this location as a great spot for a larger family with plenty of on-site entertainment and activity options. This is a great spot all around! Definitely 5-star!

We were fortunate to find Cabernet's house at the last min while looking for a place to ring in 2025. Nestled at the top of the perimeter of the Yosemite valley in Oakhurst, the house is a rare find. The weather was beautiful, we got to breath refreshing fresh air and got to enjoy all the amenities at the place. Things we enjoyed. <> Wood burning indoor fireplace. The house was nice and toasty. Perfect for end of Dec/Jan temperatures. <> Large fenced yard for our fur babies. I must say this was the highlight of the trip as it's not easy to find properties that have a completely fenced backyard. Our two husky girls sure enjoyed running around a clean grassy hard. Thank you or WOOF WOOF ! <> Beautiful furniture, clean carpets, well stocked kitchens with a lots of pots and pans to cook. <> Cabernet is super responsive. Very happy about this since a host that communicates well makes the entire experience special ! Thanks Cabernet. Looking forward to visiting again !

We absolutely loved Mariposa Ridge Retreat! The views of Yosemite's granite peaks were stunning, and the house was cozy and fully equipped. The deck with a hot tub and BBQ was a highlight. The drive was easy, and the nearby village of Mariposa was charming. Perfect for a peaceful getaway. Highly recommend!

Bob & Barbara's place was fantastic and they were so responsive to the couple questions we had! The home is perfect for a Yosemite visit. It is literally less than 10 minutes from the South Gate of Yosemite and only about 20 minutes to Oakhurst. The entire home is so cozy and so clean! We especially loved the hot tub after long days in the park. We also really enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen which we were able to make full family meals in over the New Year's holidays. The fireplacewas great to cozy up to and read or watch a movie. We truly had the best time and cannot wait to come back!

The house is great! It’s quiet and spacious. It’s about an hour and some minutes away from the arch rock entrance to Yosemite but it’s a nice drive. Don’t expect signal or wifi while you drive. The house is big and can fit about 4-6 people maybe more if people are bunking together. The kitchen is huge! I love the history of the house it used to be restaurant so I guess that’s why the kitchen is huge. The beds are warm and comfortable, those space heaters are magicians because they work so well!! Only issue was the dishwasher, which we never used, but Nicole was responsive even though it was Christmas Day (thank you again Nicole!) Overall cute house near Yosemite it’s rustic and has all the amenities. Would happily stay here again!

This is an extremely unique place in a secluded location with fantastic views. Great place to unwind and disconnect. Hosts were extremely responsive, friendly, and willing to assist.

Had a wonderful stay! The place is absolutely gorgeous, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect getaway. Highly recommend!

Loved this little place. Was our last stop before heading home to TX. Lots of great little touches and she was super helpful and kind! Highly recommend if you need an easy, unique, and comfortable place to stay!

This property is a hidden gem. The cabin is generous and common space with sizable bedrooms. Well appointed to feel right at home. The magic of this place is the serene surroundings and incredible views. There is much to explore on the 12 acre property, including a great trail, a wonderful outdoor game space with several options to choose from. Various seating areas, including a covered porch with spectacular views of the sunset. The lower level play area with three bunkbeds has an ample selection of board games and art supplies. Additionally, the host has a basket of welcoming dog supplies, including water and food bowl a large pet blanket and toys. The biggest challenge, maybe not wanting to leave the warm and inviting property.

This is such a lovely place. Shelley has thought of everything, and the personal touches - charming glassware, handmade quilts - really make it feel like home. The garden is lovely and serene, and the furry welcoming committee is the best! Plus, walking around Old Fig Garden with its unique homes is a real treat. I was in Fresno on difficult family business, and this sweet cottage plus the hosts’ kindness and responsiveness greatly helped ease the burden of what was otherwise a tough week. Thank you, Shelley and Todd!

Loved our stay!! Host was always very responsive anytime we needed her. Loved staying here with our pets. Beds and couches were very comfortable. Had everything we needed for an extended stay…..so we even extended our dates and stayed longer.

We had an amazing stay at the homestead. Each day, we explored Yosemite and loved coming back to the cozy home in the evenings. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and we especially enjoyed unwinding by the fire while reading the Yosemite books provided. Feeding the horses and having fresh eggs for breakfast added a special touch to our stay. Megan was incredibly responsive and suggested a great place for horseback riding, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

We absolutely loved our stay! The owners were responsive and wonderfully communicative. The house is beautifully maintained and everything we expected and way more. The AC was on for us, making unpacking much more pleasant. The beds are super comfortable, and the bedding so soft. The living room was perfect for lounging with our group. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked and the BBQ was pristine. Couldn’t imagine a better place to spend a weekend with your nearest and dearest.

10 out of 10 all around. One of the most comfortable and beautiful places we've had the pleasure to stay in. One night we even returned to a small herd of mule deer lazily grazing on the lawn. It was a magical few days here and we hope to return again the next time we're in the area. Plus, you really can't beat the amenities at this location and Beth is delightful.

This place was a gem! Felt right at home. Chuck and Ursula were great host's and answered any questions we had quickly. Chuck was very nice to set the pickleball set out for our family to use on the court out back. And the hot tub was a nice retreat at the end of the day. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be staying here again. P.s. I never write reviews but really enjoyed our stay here. Thanks

Not only was this a beautiful place to stay but also Rhonda, the host, was equally amazing, kind, friendly, and helpful! The 2 extra hosts Frankie, the puppy, and the kitty, black and white friendly girl, were wonderful as well. The home was clean and very spacious for a tiny home. The property had lots to do including hot tub, pool, fire pit, swing, rock climbing wall, and a pathway to start your morning with an easy trail! Overall would recommend to anyone and hope to come back next time I go back to Yosemite. Thank you!

Want to be a HERO?? Book this place for your friend group and have a magical time. Dawn was kind and helpful! We were able to walk around the property for a gorgeous sunset and even got to pet some horses! Two guitars to jam, games for the fam, great selection of cookware, surplus of towels, rustic cabin feel, spacious hot tub, amazing giant kitchen table, and plenty of bathrooms! Good vibes!!

Our family with small children and 2 dogs felt right at home. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials for cooking so you dont have to buy every ingredient(spices, seasonings, oil etc). The yard and pool is fenced so no worries about dogs or kids jumping in the pool without your knowledge. Our favorite part was the spacious warm living space and the jacuzzi right outside the back door. Our toddler enjoyed “swimming” multiple times a day, thank you so much for sharing this home. We would love to come back again for sure!

The Stewart family providing a very welcoming vacation house. We spent 3 nights at the house around Thanksgiving with two families, totaling 8 persons. It fitted us all very comfortably. There are many games and activities to do around the house. Our kids spent MANY hours outside on the huge trampoline in the front of the house, and playing with the foosball table inside the house. We also played soccer and baseball on the baseball field behind the house. So much fun! One day we made a roadtrip to Yosemite, which was a beautiful scenic 1.5hr drive away. The grownups and young-ones all enjoyed the hot tub under the very clear nightly starry sky! Wow so many stars!! We definitely recommend this house for group gatherings! The only downside we could think of was that there are no curtains installed in any of the bedrooms.

We had a wonderful stay at Christine’s Cozy Corner! The place was clean and cozy and we had plenty of space! She was so sweet and put heaters in the rooms for us and had everything ready to go. It was within a short drive to Yosemite too! Excellent place!!
