Nice stay

The cabin was perfect for our 3 night stay to visit Yosemite. It was nice to come home from a day of hiking and relax in the hot tub. It was centrally located to the Valley and Mariposa Grove. Thanks to the owners!

Great base to explore Yosemite

Our main purpose was to explore Yosemite, and it took us 30-45 minutes to drive to the entrance of the park. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. There's a good grocery store about 10 minutes away. The only problem we had was the heater in the den area was a little strange and would sometimes blow cool air. I would stay there again if I made another trip to Yosemite.

Country House Near Yosemite

We spent 4 nights in this delightful house in a tranquil setting. If you are looking for peace & quiet near Yosemite National Park, this is it. The house is roomy with 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms and a large dining/living room. It has a well stocked kitchen and we cooked every night. I would gladly stay here again and recommend it to everyone.

Great communication and responsiveness

We appreciated that we could drop off our groceries before the check in time so that we could head to Yosemite! The home was very nicely decorated and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, too. We enjoyed watching some of the DVD's and loved the welcome snacks. The notebook was also helpful. Our host was very responsive. Thank you!

Why they chose this property

We love being close to the charming mountain town of Mariposa with all the shopping and dining options you could want, while still being just minutes from Yosemite National Park. our wooded acres are so peaceful and quiet. We regularly enjoy wild turkeys, white tail deer, quail and even the occasional California Black Bear. We also have a seasonal creek during the winter if we've had good rainfall, and we get a few pretty snows every year.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy our beautiful decks for your morning coffee or a special meal with friends or family. Have a soak in our jetted hot tub after a beautiful day exploring Yosemite, or nap in our hammocks enjoying the sounds of the forest. We also have both a traditional firepit for guests to enjoy late fall through early spring when wildfire danger is low. During the warmer months, guests can enjoy our charming gas firepit which is safe to use anytime of year. Our home is well stocked with everything you might need and is beautifully appointed, clean and cozy. Come and make wonderful memories soon!
