Family Vacation

Our family wanted to stay in the area of Yosemite but not around everyone. This was a beautiful place and worked for our family perfectly. It was an hour away from Yosemite but the drive was amazing.

Charming spacious place close to downtown Mariposa

I came here with 6 friends and we had a great time. I'm happy the rooms were on one side and the living room on the other so we could stay up late and not disturb everyone. The place was clean and the kitchen was nice.

Great place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay at Nora's Getaway! It was well stocked with towels, clean sheets, and plenty of kitchen amenities (including Mariposa coffee beans and a grinder to make your own fresh coffee in the morning (yum). It's about 45-60 min from Yosemite, but a beautiful drive all the way. Recommend!

Stunning house in the mountain

We liked the house — it was clean, and the owner was really nice. He gave us very clear instructions and even shared the nearest market in town, which was super helpful. As my daughter mentioned, it felt a little scary at night since it’s in a very quiet neighborhood.

Wonderful cabin retreat in the woods

Nora's Retreat is the perfect place to stay when you want to visit yosemite. About equal distance from El Portal and South gates. The cabin is well- stocked with all the basis, plus some extras that made it extra nice. Extras like pantry staples in the kitchen and extra bathroom stuff. Nora is very inviting and thoughtful. I highly recommend this place.
