Family-friendly vacation rentals in Groveland

Our family didn’t want to leave! The river/waterfall outside is gorgeous, and gives such a peaceful sound that can be heard up at the house. We brought out 4 kids and they loved the playground, waterfall, private bedrooms, and board games. Beautiful kitchen as well!

The perfect place for a weekend getaway. My wife and I had a wonderful time. The grounds are beautiful, and there are many great hikes and eateries in the area. Already looking forward to coming back 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!

Stayed for a couple of nights with my parents. Had a lovely stay. The house was clean and had all resources. Enjoyed the surroundings, beautiful for walks.

Location is perfect for trip to Yosemite. The neighborhood is quiet. We enjoyed the evenings on the back deck in wooded surroundings.

Valerie's place was perfect for our stay to visit Yosemite. It wasn't our first time staying in Mariposa and we knew exactly where we wanted to be in town to walk to restaurants, the grocery store, and shops. The grill was in excellent condition with all of the necessary tools which we used frequently during our stay. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, and we appreciated our stay there! I would recommend staying here to others and stay here again!

“We absolutely loved our stay at the Blissful Retreat! It was such a peaceful spot, surrounded by gorgeous scenery and those sunsets—just wow. The place had everything we needed, and the host was super friendly and helpful. It was the kind of place that makes you instantly feel relaxed and at home. The hot tub was amazing at night with the night sky full of stars to look up at. Thank you for such a lovely experience.

The cabin in Arnold was absolutely perfect. The space was wonderfully equipped with everything we needed — from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy furnishings that made us feel right at home. Every detail was so thoughtfully considered, from the labels on each cabinet (which made it super easy to stay organized) to the abundance of games that kept everyone entertained. You can tell the hosts really care about creating a welcoming and comfortable experience. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun — I would absolutely stay here again!

This was our second stay at Jennifer’s cabin and our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stays each time. We really appreciate the clear instructions provided, and the cozy cabin like feel is something we always look forward to. Thank you Jennifer!

Overall, the stay was quite pleasant and matched the description provided by the host. This place served as a convenient stopover for our trip from SFO airport to Yosemite. (Just a tip for future travelers: be sure to download offline maps in advance, as there may be no signal along the way.) A couple of areas could be improved: the master bathroom was closed, which was a bit inconvenient, and it would be great to have a dishwasher, cauz hand washing dishes didn’t feel very hygienic.

Loved the property. Very peaceful. The best part was walking around in the morning, listening to bird song (identified 30 species) and enjoying a cup of coffee.

Bertha was a good & great host. Very friendly & accomodating. We love the place also, it’s super complete and very homey! Keep up the good work Bertha! Thanks for everything ☺️

We had an amazing stay at Julie's cabin over the holiday weekend. It was so relaxing and to have the river right outside was so majestic and breathtaking. You have to see it in person to really appreciate the amazing views. Her cabin was just as described and had everything we needed. We felt right at home and the surrounding area was also very nice. Lots of hiking areas and nearby lake. We are already looking forward to coming back.

Heather’s cabin is amazing with such a relaxing vibe and even better in person! The cabin was comfortable, clean, well stocked, spacious, and had the best outdoor area to relax on the deck or play games. Our kids didn’t want to leave! It really was one of the best places we’ve stayed. Heather went above and beyond to create a great experience. The cabin felt so secluded, yet the grocery store and the town of Oakhurst is less than a 10 minute drive. The entrance to Yosemite (Mariposa Grove area) can be a 30 minute to 1 hour drive depending on traffic. This is a must base camp for exploring Yosemite.

We took a four day weekend in Murphy's to relax, see the sites and attend the Watertower show at Brice Station Vineyard. I have to say this cottage is one of the best stays we've booked on Airbnb, anywhere. The interior was a spacious, well appointed, high vaulted and practically furnished living space with one bedroom, one bath, a living room and fully equipped kitchen. Secluded toward the back of a fenced in, lush and well maintained backyard, this place is also a very short walk to downtown and all it offers (restaurants, park, wine tasting, etc.). Dog friendly too, not just this place but Murphy's in general. We definitely recommend this place and look forward to a future stay.

Overall great experience. Appreciated all of the rooms were on the same level so our older family members didn't have any trouble getting around. Shawnda and Marc are gracious hosts and made our stay very enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit!

This was my second stay at this cozy cabin near Yosemite, and once again, it did not disappoint. The location is perfect—just a short drive to the park, which makes it super convenient for exploring. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The host was very responsive and attentive throughout the stay, making the experience smooth and stress-free. I’ll definitely be returning on future visits to Yosemite. Highly recommend!

The home is beautiful!! It is private and secluded but just 2 blocks from the cute downtown shopping. It really is a special place. Old Spanish tudor style with lush landscape and beautiful hardscaping. We had a blast in the pool after after hiking and biking at Yosemite. We used all the wonderful amenities, basketball, pickleball, ping pong, pool and hot tub. The 4 bedrooms were large with very comfortable beds and high end linens and towels. The kitchen was very well stocked and fun to make our family dinners. Our group consensus was this place was our favorite vacation Airbnb

Beth was an amazing host and the place had everything you will need to feel like home. We had a couple of deers that visited us and that made my day . At night you can sit on the porch and stargazing. Beautiful property . We will definitely come back

Fantastic place! So many excellent little touches! The pool and hot tub were perfect temp, the view was great, the food/treats were a great addition, and the place was super cozy. We loved the place/host and would for sure stay again.

Rhonda’s place was an excellent stay for us. It was clean and comfortable - although because of the size of the space we would recommend only for two instead of three like we had. Access to the pool and outside area made for a very relaxing environment for us. As described, there is no kitchenette so it’s minimal in that way. Our daughter enjoyed Frankie, their super friendly dog.

This Airbnb was absolutely fantastic! We truly enjoyed our stay and found everything to be perfect. The location was great, and the space was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful experience!

Place is beautiful inside and out. The only thing I didn’t like is that rooms don’t have a curtains, a sheer curtain would be nice at least for privacy. I still give this place a 5 🌟

What a great place to stay! A very spacious and adorable private guest suite. Close to Yosemite and Oakhurst, plenty of food options nearby, and a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend!
