Mariposa wedding weekend

Needed a place to stay for a family wedding and no nearby hotels. House is a little older with some neighborhood homes a little run down, but inside was super clean, quiet neighborhood, comfy beds and everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. About an hour from Yosemite Park, which we also got to enjoy.

Great base for exploring Yosemite!

We enjoyed staying here so much! Many extras supplied beyond what we expected. Very quiet, peaceful. Nice to have a full kitchen so we could cook breakfast and dinner and pack lunches. We were only two, but six would be comfortable here. Thanks for making our Yosemite trip so enjoyable!

Relaxing, clean location

This house was perfect for our group of 3 adults and 2 children. The host had thought of everything. The kitchen was well stocked, the towels were super fluffy, and the house was very clean. They even had outdoor towels and lifejackets that we could use! Our children liked the games in the game room and having movies to watch in their room. We loved the quiet location and enjoyed spending time together there and in Yosemite National Park. We would definitely stay here again!

Yosemite visit

The house had everything we needed and a living area to relax with the family. It takes an hour or so to get to Yosemite national park. Something to account for. But otherwise once you are inside the house, it was comfortable and cozy. Thanks Navi

Relaxation at it's finest!

One of the best long holiday weekend that we ever had! We truly enjoyed our stay at this property, far away from the bustling chaos of the city life, from day 1 to the last day of our stay, everything went perfect as what we expected. The place is very clean, well taken care of, with all the amenities listed available and a very functionable kitchen that suited our cooking needs. The air conditioning system worked very good and we had a very comfortable stay all throughout. We will definitely return at your place and will highly recommend it to our family and friends. Thank you to the Host for making our stay comfortable and enjoyable....

Amazing

We were in California for 2 weeks and the stay at this property was the highlight of our whole trip. My wife and kids loved it here. The peace and quiet were especially gratifying with us coming from a big city. We even got to gold pan in the creek which the kids absolutely loved. The hosts could not have been better. The welcome we got there was like as if we were visiting family. I cannot say enough about Christine and Michael. They educated us on the area and were available for any questions we had. The place is not far from Yosemite and even closer to Mariposa and is a great base to sight see. We will definitely be going back there for a longer stay the next time.

Wonderful Stay for Family

This was a little hidden gem and we were lucky to stay for two nights before heading to Yosemite. We wanted to stay close to Yosemite before reservations in the park itself and the house was nicely placed to make our way to Yosemite when we checked out. The house was nicely decorated inside and had plenty of space for our family of four with our teenage boys enjoying a bedroom each. The beds were comfy, it felt very clean in the house and it was well stocked to cook some meals. Our boys really enjoyed the games room. It's in a peaceful location surrounded by nature and we enjoyed making friends with the horse in the field next door. The hosts were easy to get hold of, attentive and let us know what was going on when there were some thunderstorms that knocked the power out temporarily. We can't recommend this enough for families wanting to get closer to Yosemite or just enjoying Mariposa itself.

Quiet, relaxing, close to Yosemite and attractions.

It was wonderful. The house was spotless. Every room was clean and comfortable. We went with no plans and found we were close enough to attractions, restaurants and supermarket that we didn't have to worry about anything, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend.
