Great location for visiting Yosemite. The unit is spacious and has all the amenities you could ask for. Irene was a great host and extremely responsive. We would stay again.
Beautiful property with a lovely butterfly theme inside. The neighborhood is quiet and away from the more touristy downtown. I loved my stay and wish I had been able to visit Mariposa longer!
The apartment was very clean, quite and comfortable. The location provided easy access to Yosemite park. Irene, the host, responded to our text messages. The kitchen was well equipped. We would stay here again.

It is great if add an oven toaster in the kitchen.
This apartment was perfect for our trip to Yosemite. It was about an hour and 20 minutes from Curry village. Mariposa is a small town but has all the amenities you need.
Our family stayed for a few days in Mariposa. The apartment was clean and had all the necessities. Love this little town- friendly people, lots of dining options within 5 minutes drive, not far from Yosemite.

It was a pleasure hosting you. You are always welcome to come back.
Very cute and prevalent butterfly theming, a lot of love went into this home. The water filter was an excellent addition as well. About an hour from Yosemite, straight down 140. Host was nice and accommodating when I wanted to add a day to my stay as well :)
It was so easy to hop on the highway and get to Yosemite from here, which is exactly what we were looking for. Irene was friendly and her communication was prompt and helpful. The apartment was roomy and comfortable and exactly as advertised. It was perfect for our family of 4 (1 adult, 3 kids)!

An hour away from Yosemite. Clean apartment with good facilities.
This is a great place to stay for visiting Yosemite. I stayed there with my wife and my parents and everything was great. Great communication with Irene. Definitely Recommended
We so enjoyed our stay at Irene’s apartment. The twin beds room was perfect for our kids and the queen room for my husband and I gave everyone the space they needed. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast before a day at Yosemite. One morning we saw wild turkeys from the kitchen window and the next, deer with fawns! Irene was very responsive and gave us so many ideas of places to visit in the area. Looking forward to staying here again!
We had a great time staying here for our 5-day trip to visit Yosemite. This 2BR apartment was perfect for our group of 4 adults, A great retreat to return to after long days of hiking in the park. The location was good as there were several good restaurants in Mariposa and we were about 45 minutes away from Yosemite Valley.
We had a great time and will definitely stay here again the next time we come to the area. Irene was a great host.
The house has been beautifully decorated with butterfly theming throughout. The kitchen has everything you will need to cook. There is even a a water filter which gives hot and cold water. Our stay was comfortable and we had a nice time in Irene’s house.
This place was amazing. It was spotless. It was located perfectly for excursions into Yosemite and Mariposa. It was decorated so cutely. Highly recommend it. Irene was great to work with.
It was a lovely apartment to stay in. Very close to the yart bus pick up for Yosemite. It was better than what I was expecting. Deer and turkeys were in the back yard to watch while b.b.q.ing. Everything was perfect for our stay.
