A great space!

Overall, the property was wonderful, and communication with the owner, Beth, was excellent! I highly recommend booking this beautiful Mariposa lodge. Our only suggestion would be to provide a few additional items, such as cleaning supplies (like a surface disinfectant), foil, plastic wrap, plastic bags, a fly swatter, extra washcloths, kitchen towels, and a drying rack. The kitchen was otherwise very well stocked, and these small additions would make an already fantastic stay even better. Regardless, our time here was truly memorable, and we will cherish it forever!

Coming “home” to this house after long days at Yosimite was perfect for our family/friend vacation. We cooked meals in the kitchen and the grill was in great condition. We spent evenings in the pool and hot tub. Then would sit on the deck and star gaze. The kids gave it a 5-star and Beth was great.
