About this property

D&E Digs / Relax in the Woods Under Starlit Skies....

Come and visit our charming cottage in the woods. Large bedroom with a tempurpedic mattress, full kitchen, and a private deck with a mountain view. Enjoy the different sitting areas around the property, including the gazebo, which is perfect for enjoying a good book or just some quiet time.

Located between two entrances to Yosemite, each with beautiful scenic routes leading you into the park. Wonderful restaurants to choose from, including a cafe right at the end of the road!

We set up the campfire for you during the cooler months. It is a great place to come home to after a wonderful day in the park....

We have a massage therapist available, (if given enough notice) to enhance your relaxation and enjoyment during your visit to D&E Digs.

The cottage was beautiful and was much more spacious in person. The surrounding area was peaceful and relaxing. Like sleeping over in a storybook setting. The host was incredibly warm and inviting. They were so kind and more than hospitable. I can’t say enough kind things about them.

This is the ideal stay if you're heading into Yosemite National Park! Very clean and the perfect size with all the amenities you need, and such a comfortable bed! An added perk is wonderful hosts and stargazing. We hope to be back in the future!

This is such a splendid place. It was a perfect couples getaway on a lovely property in a comfy cozy cottage hosted by beautiful groovy people (and their sweet dog) close to Yosemite Park. Stars at night...beautiful sun and moon rise...quietude sprinkled with bird song, crickets, frogs, and the occasional thud of a pinecone or acorn.

The house was fantastic—clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed. Our host was incredibly sweet and went above and beyond, offering invaluable tips and information about the park that made our trip even better. The hospitality was top-notch, and the check-in process couldn’t have been easier. We truly felt cared for throughout our stay. The neighborhood is in the country, very quiet and peaceful, with bunnies and wildlife around—such a relaxing setting. Highly recommend!

This is a delightful spot and we loved it. Very quiet and surrounded in beautiful views. The cabin is cozy and cute with everything to make one comfortable. Donna and Eric are most welcoming and friendly. We cooked every evening not wanting to leave the place. We asked if it was possible to extend our stay for an additional day but unfortunately the home was rented so we left with a promise to return in the fall

Exactly what we hoped for!

We selected D & E Digs because of its ideal location between the south and west entrances to Yosemite — and it was ideal for that. But it was so much more! Donna & Eric were the perfect hosts, and their property is delightful. The guest cottage is clean and perfectly appointed, and the rural setting allows you to experience abundant birds during the day and outstanding stargazing at night. I highly recommend this special retreat!

California Dreaming

We very much enjoyed our stay in the California chaparral. The rental was clean, easily accessible, cute and comfortable. It’s not close to anything, but that’s the point, isn’t it? There is a small market close so if you need gas or a loaf of bread, you’re golden. The only disappointment was that the landlord’s house looms close by, just out of the pictures presented in the advert.

Immaculately cleaned guest house in a wonderful location.

Donna & Eric were amazing hosts. The place is very clean and has all the necessary amenities for a stress free, vacation. Cell coverage is spotty depending on your provider but the wifi is reliable enough to depend on for remote working. Location is great in regard to park access. The sky is unbelievably gorgeous. Milky way is mesmerizing. Will definitely come back.

Trip to Mariposa

We absolutely love staying here. Perfect location a few minutes outside of Mariposa and about 45 min to Yosemite. Eric and Donna are the best hosts. This is the second time we have stayed here. Everything is very clean, bed is super comfortable. Very quiet and relaxing. We spent both evenings (and early mornings) stargazing, just amazing view of the night sky. We will definitely be back again!
