Mariposa stay

Robin's Nest was a great place to stay. We had about a one hour drive to Yosemite Valley. Robyn and Trace were fantastic hosts and gave us wonderful information about Yosemite and surrounding area. Our room was spacious, clean and perfect for us. We'd certainly stay there again.

Perfect for two!

Excellent value for a stay for two. We loved the home - just right, great location, and quiet. We would like to give a special shout-out to the owners - they are the best. They are prompt with replies and took time to talk to us about Yosemite and the area surrounding Mariposa. We have never felt so welcome in a VRBO home. Thank you!

Amazing hosts, great stay

Great little "in law" studio apartment adjoining the hosts' home (attached to structure but separate in every way). Wonderful, friendly hosts, Trace is a treasure trove of knowledge about Yosemite. And has deep connections to it (ask him about his personal story if you rent the place).Hwy 140 was unfortunately blocked off just prior to my visit, and the hosts contacted me offering me the flexibility to reschedule my trip (I did not, as I had planned from before and did not have the flexibility).I enjoyed my stay very much and will be back to explore Yosemite some more.

Wonderful private place with great hosts

We had a great stay at Robin’s Nest. The place was very clean and spacious for our two nights. Trace and Robn were hospitable and provided plentiful suggestions for visiting Yosemite.

The coziest home away from home near Yosemite. Hosts Robn and Trace are really great people and their recommendations and knowledge about hikes in the area is a huge plus. There are so many sweet, thoughtful touches in the guest house that make it the perfect place to stay. This was our second time visiting and we can’t wait to come back!

Great Little Spot to Stay While Visiting Yosemite

My spouse and I stayed here during our long weekend exploring Yosemite. It had everything we needed to make simple meals and relax after a long day of activities. The hosts were welcoming, kind, and very responsive. They provided a wealth of information about the park that was super useful. We recommend if you're visiting the area!

My husband and I stayed here for a couple of nights while visiting Yosemite National Park. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. This property is just so charming. The hosts are so very nice and welcoming and go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your stay. After hiking in Yosemite, we were able to enjoy the pool in their garden area which they are so generous to share with their guests. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others!

First time in Mariposa

We really enjoyed our stay at Robin's Nest. The place was very clean and very cozy. All of the amenities were there, just as stated online. And the pictures you see online are what you see in person. But to be honest, it's way better in person. We had no issues with our stay. I have the feeling we'll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Robn and Trace DeSandres

Host profile image
Trace, my husband was born in Yosemite Valley and raised just outside the Park in El Portal. He was a back-country ranger for eleven seasons and retired in 2020 after teaching for 34 years. Trace is proud to say he has hiked the majority of the trails in the Park and would love to share suggestions on places to hike and explore making your stay even more enjoyable. Robn grew up in Mariposa and is also a retired educator. A love of gardening and recently becoming a Master Gardener has kept Robn busy working in her yard and garden. She also loves to bake and looks forward to spending time doing lots and lots of reading. It brings us an enormous about of pleasure to share our love of the Sierra Foothills and Yosemite with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Our home sits on a hill overlooking the town of Mariposa. We have a wonderful breeze that comes in each night and you will find that our neighborhood is quiet, peaceful, full of wildlife and a truly relaxing place to live.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique in that it sits on a hill just three minutes from downtown Mariposa and is two-tenths of a mile off of Highway 140 making it convenient to get an early start on your way to visit Yosemite National Park.
