Prime location nestled in the Sierras, this spacious and charming cottage is a perfect get away - with an inviting wood stove to relax by at night, and spacious deck with BBQ grill- perfect for star-gazing and breathing clean mountain air.

Reviewing Mariposa

Extremely quiet and peaceful and beautiful. Very natural and isolated. Only problem was the full trash bags and where to put them. There was a receptacle on the deck which was already full from the last people so I moved it to the side of the house to avoid flies And placed our bags on the ground next to it. Hopefully as of this writing they have been collected. Definitely would return otherwise

Yosemite hiking trip

Great place to stay near (1hr) Yosemite. Very quiet. Lots of wildlife. Beautiful view, w/ great sunsets and bright stars. Comfortable beds and well appointed. Close to town for groceries. Had a fun time. We’d come back again.

Great cottage. Loved the view.

I stayed at Poppy Cottage for a full month and I loved my time there. The internet and cell service was reliable at the cottage, which was really important for me since I got zero reception practically everywhere else in Mariposa County. You get a great view from the deck, and the property is spaced far enough away from the neighbors where you have absolute peace and quiet, but not so far that you feel like you’d be in trouble in case of an emergency. The main attraction for me was Yosemite National Park. It took me about an hour to hour and a half to get to the El Portal entrance, and about an hour to get to the Mariposa Grove entrance. The drive is beautiful and I really didn’t mind it, but do take the amount of time it takes to get back and forth if Yosemite is a big draw for you. I’d highly recommend the cottage, and I won’t hesitate to stay there again.

Cozy and peaceful cabin

Had an amazing stay in this beautiful and cozy cabin. The area is peaceful and calm which is great to come home to after a long day of hiking. Everything was provided from utensils to appliances which was really nice to have and very useful too. Would stay here again.
