"Great location, We were a family of 5, 13, 15 and 17 year old and it was a perfect base for Yosemite. 1 hour from main Yoseimte valley entrance (if you leave at 0545am like we did) and 45 mins from south entrance. Lovely quiet location. House was really clean and had everything we needed. Miriposa was approx 20 min drive away with lots of restraunt options. Don't let the distance to Yosemite put you off as its excellent value compared to closer options and much nicer. Was also really handy being able to do our laundry. Great washer and large separate dryer ."

"Amazing location, absolutely incredible scenery and located near the small but pretty town of Mariposa. The reception staff were helpful for the most part, although we were a bit disappointed that they did not go above and beyond for us as this was our Honeymoon trip Heads up - you must contact the property well in advance if you want to reserve a pizza oven. Nobody told us this and we were unable to reserve one. The reception staff later brought us the pizza oven ( but one staff member tried to charge us for the use of it, even though we were not buying any of their ingredients). All that aside, we had an absolutely amazing time there and would stay again. Great proximity to Yosemite Valley if you don't mind a bit of a drive into the park each day."
