The house was very spacious, tucked away in a bit of countryside area, which made it enjoyable to have plenty of space around me. The kitchen has everything you would need, the W/D work great and the bed was super comfortable (in the master bedroom). Most of all, I really enjoyed communicating with Rebecca. She was an absolute delight and incredibly helpful before and during my stay. Highly recommend her and her place!

Best Place to Stay when planning to go to Yosemite
We stayed here on the Easter weekend & we were really grateful coz the host is gracious & very accommodating. From the time I booked her property she was very prompt to answer my questions & even asked how we would to do our sleeping arrangements. We were a group of 11 persons & we this place sleeps 12. It’s also pet friendly so it’s the best place to stay for a weekend getaway or if you want to go to Yosemite. This beautiful property is complete with everything you will need. Rebecca, the host made sure the house is prepared, from the free water bottles, cooking oil, snacks/chips/popcorn that we can eat to even preparing Easter eggs for my daughter The wifi signal is very strong & they even have Netflix in every room too. They even installed emergency lights also. There is also a bbq grill that you can use. They also have a small pool table & other games for kids. There is even a washer & dryer that you can use too If we didn’t have originalplans to go to Yosemite, we would have just stayed inside & enjoyed all the amenities there. We really enjoyed our stay here & would love to be back next time. We highly recommend staying in this lovely Mariposa home

Great Get Away Spot
Our stay was amazing. The house was clean, the owner responded in a timely manner, and the views were beautiful. The owner was really prepared, there were extra toiletry items, there were kitchen essentials to use, a grill, games for the kids. It was so peaceful. We will definitely be booking again.
