Home away from home

The best stop of my entire trip. The place was truly like a home away from home, especially the kitchen. Loved the rural vibe and proximity to Yosemite. The hosts were very welcoming and the property has resident hummingbirds which always entertain. I hope to return sooner than later!

Beautiful , Comfortable and Private apartment rental in close proximity to Yosemite N.P

My husband and I spent 7 nights in this modern apartment rental in the town of Marisposa while visiting Yosemite N.P. We could not have picked a more comfortable and convenient location for our visit. The accommodations were all what we expected and more. Everything on the VRBO site is perfectly described and pictured. Plus the hosts are very friendly and close by on the property for any desired assistance. Would recommend this rental highly when visiting the area.
