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!

Quiet home away from home

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!

Great spot!

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)!

Beautiful apartment

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.

Perfect home base for Yosemite

The butterfly apartment was indeed exceptional! Very clean and well cared for and as good a location as can be expected if you’re not in the park. Nice extra touches include portable a/c units in every room (a portable heater for main room for winter), both DIRECTV sat tv and streaming smart tv, and an Avalon water system that spits out filtered hot, cool, or cold water. The WiFi worked well. Furniture was comfy for hanging out. Nice quiet area just past a small town hospital. Nearby Pioneer Market was a full service supermarket and had a food truck with delicious authentic Mexican food (lengua yum!!!!). It was a perfect home base for our Yosemite visit. Thanks, Irene!

Great Place to Stay for Yosemite Visit

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.

Great Value for visiting Yosemite NP

Convenient location. This rental worked well for getting to famous Natural destinations. The town has a good grocery store and several gift shops. Wawona Hotel Restaurant, not far into the National Park, gets our thumbs up for its warm, attractive, and historical setting. Irene has taken care to provide comforts of home and a relaxing mattress for our weary bones!

Easy to find, quick access to town and highways, all amenities you'll need. Might want to bring your own pillow. The ones at the house are a little too big (for me). Wildlife in the property in back is fun to watch!

Cute butterfly themed space that has all necessities

Irene made sure that everything was readily available and we had a great time during our stay. We had a reservation for 2 nights for our trip to Yosemite and this was a great place to have some rest. The space has everything you would need that includes AC, clean bathrooms , coffee/hot chocolate , dishes and cookware if needed. Overall a 10/10 experience.

Very clean, very reasonably priced, 1 hour to Yosemite, Irene was quick to respond to questions. She was there with in 20 minutes to replace the propane tank for the BBQ. I would stay there again if visiting Yosemite. The Hidden Grill in town was a fun place to eat and have a drink.

Nice apartment in Mariposa

We chose to stay in Mariposa during our visit to Yosemite. This apartment was located close to the highway to the park and to restaurants and grocery stores in town. The kitchen was well-equipped, having everything we needed to make our own meals. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend it for anyone who doesn't mind being a little further away from the park.

We absolutely loved this property, it was perfect! Very well equipped, set in a beautiful location. We watched the birds, jack rabbits, turkeys, deer. Very safe and only a short drive from Mariposa which was a great little town. We also visited Yosemite which is about a 45 min drive away. An absolute must! Thank you Irene.

Close to enough Yosemite for the price

Apartment was a lot bigger than we needed just being my husband and I, but well worth the money. 2 bedrooms, 1 queen bed and 2 twin with a reclining couch and chair this could easily sleep 6-7 ppl comfortably. The wildlife (deer) in the area were fun to watch. Everything we needed was already there.

The property was primarily clean. It would benefit from hangers for our clothing, as there were none. Further, an ironing board and iron, as there were none. The property below was occupied and we could hear everything as they were so loud and the TV was on super load. The apartment had an odor that smelled like someone had been smoking and it was covered up with carpet fresh. The overall experince was good for the four days.
