The house is a complete fun. We loved the decoration and all the rooms. Indoor and outdoor areas that cater to the tastes of all ages. The owner was very attentive. There is a small convenience store and restaurant cafe just 2 miles from the house where you can even find souvenirs. We loved the experience!

The house was beautiful, very clean and very roomy. It was perfect for our family reunion. There were all kinds of fun games in the basement - an above ground pool and a big hot tub! The kids in our group loved all of these. Beth, our host, made herself available for any questions we had for the property. I would highly recommend it to any larger group wanting to stay close to Yosemite. - Thank you Beth!!

A great space!

Overall, the property was wonderful, and communication with the owner, Beth, was excellent! I highly recommend booking this beautiful Mariposa lodge. Our only suggestion would be to provide a few additional items, such as cleaning supplies (like a surface disinfectant), foil, plastic wrap, plastic bags, a fly swatter, extra washcloths, kitchen towels, and a drying rack. The kitchen was otherwise very well stocked, and these small additions would make an already fantastic stay even better. Regardless, our time here was truly memorable, and we will cherish it forever!

Mom's 75th Birthday

Great space. Loved the amenities. Hot tub. Grill. Decks. Fully stocked kitchen. Waking up to deer in the fields was super special. The night stars were magical. We loved cooking big meals for the family. The big couches in the living room were fun to lounge on. We were six adults and on 4 year old and it felt like we had plenty of space. Would definitely recommend. Beth is a great host and very responsive.

Fantastic Location

Coming “home” to this house after long days at Yosimite was perfect for our family/friend vacation. We cooked meals in the kitchen and the grill was in great condition. We spent evenings in the pool and hot tub. Then would sit on the deck and star gaze. The kids gave it a 5-star and Beth was great.

Great accommodations near Yosemite

Our group of 10 friends stayed here for 2 nights, the first before a day trip to Yosemite. It was a wonderful thing to return the next afternoon and not drive too far after a long day in the park. Beth was up to date with Yosemite’s visiting status and we took her advice to leave very early in the morning. She was so accommodating and on top of everything from beginning to end! We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this home! The house was very clean and comfortable

Yosemite Gem

We arrived on a Wednesday later than anticipated due to flight delays. Communicating with the owner was easy and we received quick responses to questions. The home was off the beaten path and remote for us but we loved it! So much for the family to do together- shuffle board, pool table, air hockey, fusball, hot tub and swimming pool. The property was very well maintained and beautiful. Our plans changed two times before we ended up at this property and it was a blessing! Perfect location to access both the Arch and South entrances to Yosemite. We would definitely recommend this property to any families. It was very spacious and clean. Lots to do to keep everyone happy and together.
