Fantastic stay in an exceptional home

We absolutely loved this place. Great accommodations, nicely appointed and comfortable a the location was a bit of a drive from Yosemite for my family’s preferences but we were able to also take a great walk on day 1 there and see the location. We booked later and in Winter/ Spring there are limited options and the park was booked up. Not a big deal to me. Mariposa has food offerings and is close by as well. It was also near to see the Oak Fire recovery in process just down the road. Though obviously devastating, it is incredible to see the fast recovery and regrowth in the area. Glad this place survived!! Bottom line: we’d definitely stay again if in the area and highly recommend this high-quality location as a cozy landing pad for Yosemite or a stay in the wilderness off the beaten path (but not isolated).

The ladybug 🐞

An absolutely amazing experience we had a great Thanksgiving dinner, the kitchen is very nice equipped with utensils and plenty of room, so is the rest of the house. This amazing backyard house is literally on the forest. Located close to the stunning Yosemite.

About the host

Hosted by Craig and Robin Dormer

Hi! We are Craig and Robin and we would like to welcome you to our home. We are both high school teachers in the charming historic town of Mariposa. Craig is originally from Havertown, Pennsylvania, and Robin is from Oakhurst, California, which is a sister town near Mariposa. We have three adult kids, two are in college on the California coast and one is a property manager in San Luis Obispo. One of our favorite things to do is go to the coast and spend time with our kids. We also like to spend as much time as possible up in Yosemite hiking, swimming and riding bikes. We absolutely love being vacation rental hosts because we love providing a wonderful space for people to make memories. You will find our guestbook is full of absolutely amazing stories shared by guests from around the world. We look forward to hosting you and hearing your story!

Why they chose this property

Ladybug Lane is named after the thousands of Ladybugs that reside with us in the spring and summer. Our home is in a secluded neighborhood, nestled in the Sierra National Forest with Yosemite National Park about 45 minutes away along the Merced River. Our home is outside Mariposa and offers open space to safely spend time with family and friends. The area is well known for trails to explore on foot, bicycle and motorcycle. In the wintertime, snow can be expected, and in the late summer, wild berries can be picked in the backyard and surrounding area. Why not escape from it all in luxury?! Perfectly equipped and sanitized, your health and comfort are our top priorities.

What makes this property unique

We have strived to create the perfect home away from home experience. We have added as many amenities as possible with your comfort and convenience always our top priority. One of the favorite aspects for all of our guests is the screened in porch, it is the absolutely perfect place to sit, have a cup of coffee and tea, and watch birds and wildlife just a few feet away.
