About this property

Midpines Hwy 140 House on your way to Yosemite

This historic country house was built in 1947. Now this charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is a vacation rental. Its is conveniently located directly off the Hwy 140, in Midpines, on your way to Yosemite National park and ten minutes outside of Mariposa.

From both the living room and dining room kitchen areas you can look out the windows and observe the wild life in the meadow across the street. The large farm style kitchen is a great place for everyone to gather in. It is fully equipped for all your cooking needs. There is even a large beautiful fireplace to enjoy during the winter months.
In the back patio area there is a BBQ for outside cooking and dining. There is also a fenced yard to the side of the side of the house with an herb garden.

Comfort and Charm: Our Family Stay near Yosemite NP

We had a wonderful stay in this quaint home with so much history. It’s a vintage style home with all the modern amenities. Just a 38min drive from Yosemite entrance and 8-10min from Mariposa. Amazing location! Perfect for all the activities we wanted to do.

Great Cabin

Loved the "cabin in the woods" feel of the Midpines HWY 140 house. So close to Yosemite we were able to see all the sights we wanted to and had a nice cozy cabin to return to. Loved the fireplace and that it was all set up and ready to light when we arrived. We brought food to prepare and all kitchen necessities were there and easy to find. Lots of DVDs and games available for the kids too.

Wonderful Stay

We loved this rental. Our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 children) stayed here while we enjoyed a couple of days at Yosemite. We loved how spacious this home was, and it felt cozy. We cooked a couple of meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. If we ever go back to Yosemite we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home!!!

Lovely home located just past Mariposa on your way to Yosemite National Park. Huge kitchen ( I love to cook) huge fireplace and I loved the privacy in the backyard. The beds and bedding were so comfortable. The host was amazing and super friendly and so were the owners. My trips will be more regular and this will be my stop. It’s perfect!

Wonderful house and good location to visit Yosemite National Park!

The house and location is wonderful and met all our needs with all the essentials. The house has a wonderful feel to it, very open, nice and comfortable. I brought my daughter, and husband, my parents from Denmark and their friends. Everyone was very happy and loved it! We had a wonderful weekend stay and enjoyed visiting Yosemite National Park. Being close to Mariposa was really convenient as well. Dave and Renee are wonderful hosts and we felt very welcome upon our arrival!

The central air conditioner in this house is LEGIT - after a hot day of hiking it was amazing coming home to a cooled house. House was also expansive with three big bedrooms and two full separate bathrooms. Was amply stocked with towels and had a nice big living area with TV that connects to Disney+ etc. and the washer dryer was right in the middle of the hosue instead of in a garage or something annoying. Convenient drive to Yosemite and also to downtown Mariposa, with the U shaped driveway for easy in-and-out. Also has an interesting provenance! There are photos adorning the walls showing that it was constructed as a cafe initially (which explains the amazingly large kitchen area with giant island, tons of wine glasses, cooking supplies and a bar with stools) and a really well written little book on the coffee table that explains the history of Midpines. We may come back again next summer for another stay it was perfect for two families as one of the 3 bedrooms has a bunk bed. Hostess was also the nicest lady - so responsive to our questions.
Really large kitchen it makes sense this house used to be a home + cafe.
Big living room (wraparound couch not pictured) with TV and board games.

Nice Rustic Rental

Lots of space and beds for the price! Big kitchen and living room, plenty of chairs. Lots of kitchen utensils and some food & spices in the cabinets. Layout is a little unusual with two bedrooms connected via sliding door. There is no true "master" either, as two bedrooms are connected to one bathroom and the other bathroom is across a hallway in the addition.

Nice proximity to Yosemite

This house is right on 140 on your way in through the Arch Rock entrance to Yosemite. Unless you are staying in the park, it seemed to be one of the closest options other than a big motel right at the entrance. The house was well equipped and although a little more rustic had everything we needed. There is some road work being done between the house and Yosemite when we were there and so some delays both on the way into the park and back as well as we could hear some trucks buzzing by throughout the night. Pretty quick drive into Mariposa where there is a grocery store and multiple restaurants.

Nice location - not real clean

The location was great for a visit to Mt Rainer. The weather didn't let us see the mountain. The hot tub was nice to use after a day of snow shoeing. There was a lot of dust and dirt on top of the refrigerator when we checked in. It would have been nice to have a coat rack or hooks by the front door. We did not like the fuzzy sheets that were on the beds.

Nice house, but uncomfortable

Property is a bit difficult to locate at night time. House was better than the pictures, place is clean and located in good location with respect to Yosemite. Unfortunately, the furniture is very uncomfortable... The bed was sagging and way too soft. Everyone in our party complained and sleep came at a minimum. Sofa was also too soft. Our backs were hurting from the poor furniture.

Beautiful views

This is a quirky old building. Used to be a road side cafe. The old timey photos of the cafe were a nice touch. The fireplace in the kitchen was awesome! Just looking out the kitchen windows to the creek across the street really made it feel like you're in the middle of nature. Not far from local shops and mom and pop restaurants. Still conveniently close to Merced river and Yosemite national park. The beds were nice but too soft for us. Also one of the beds was too high off the ground for some of our family members. Queen size only, no kings. But well stocked with dvds and games if needed. There was no working porch light so get there during day light, its easy to miss. We would definitely stay here again. Wish i could live there forever!

Amazing find right outside Yosemite with one caveat.

We stayed 6 days really getting to explore Yosemite. This place is only 30 minutes from the entrance to Yosemite allowing you to go North to Tioga road, east to the valley, or south to glacier pass or Mariposa Grove. I recommend grabbing groceries on your way before Midpines, as prices get more expensive. This place was perfect for what we were looking for except for the ants. We were warned from the owner before we got there that she has been dealing with ants and to make sure to keep the counters clean and put food in zip lock bags if opened. We did this, however, the ant problem was much worse. They were everywhere, bathroom, living room, bedroom.... In the owner's defense, she was shocked by how bad it was and offered to send a cleaner out during our stay, which we declined. She seemed very committed to treating the problem and was very apologetic. The ants are the only reason I took off stars for our stay and for cleanliness. I'm hopeful, that she follows thru because, besides the ants, this place is a hidden gem in terms of size and convenience to Yosemite, which is one of my favorite place on earth. Future reviewers should be able to give people an update to whether the situation is fixed. Honestly, I'd rent from the owner again given how she responded to the situation.
