We used it as our base for Yosemite for two days - very convenient. The cottage was so comfortable and beautifully appointed, we were wanting for nothing. The hosts were both incredibly welcoming and helpful - we loved the scones on arrival, and the recommendations on what to do in the park and around the area! There was a very friendly cat who came and joined us when we were sitting out on the deck. Our two nights here were the best we had over our three weeks in the USA, we didn't want to leave.

Due to forest fires we were unable to come to the cottage. Cliff, the owner was extremely helpful, responding quickly to our concerns and giving us good advice. We were so disappointed that we were not able to visit but are really looking forward to coming another time.

A fabulous cottage in a quiet location close to amenities in Mariposa, within easy reach of Yosemite . The owners Cliff and Mary-Lou were extremely friendly and welcoming and provided us with useful information about visiting Yosemite valley. They provided many extras including homemade scones and wine, and an ice box and picnic blankets for our days out. Recommend this lovely place.

The Cottage was comfortable for us and our 2 adult kids. It is located in a beautiful setting with good local restaurants near by. We used this location while visiting Yeosmite, it is about 45 minutes to the park gates. The only downside is no air conditioning. Fans helped but it was a hot night sleep.

Très beau cottage en colline. Propriétaires agréables et disponibles. La maison est bien équipée et pas trop loin de Yosemite. Une tres bonne alternative aux lodges du parc. A reccomander sans hésitation.

We had a great 3 night stay in this beautiful situated, well-furnished and spacious cottage. On arrival it was exceptionally clean and there was a bottle of wine and scones waiting for us which was a nice surprise. We had lovely evenings sitting on the deck overlooking the vineyard beteeen days spent in the national park (around an hour's easy drive away). Stores, gas and facilities just a few minutes from the cottage in Mariposa. A great experience; highly recommended.

Five members of my family had a wonderful time staying in this cottage in the Sierra-Nevada foothills. Our intent was to have a jumping off point for a backcountry trip to Yosemite. It was perfect. Cliff was a wonderful host. The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable. The best parts were the little surprises of breakfast muffins and wine from the vineyard where the cottage is located. It's a bit of a drive to the best parts of Yosemite, but so much better than staying in a large, impersonal motel. It is close to good restaurants in Mariposa, which we appreciated. We were able to take advantage of day hiking for a couple of days and were well rested for our trip into the back country.

Due to the wildfires in the area we were unable to make it to the cottage. The owner kept us apprised of the situation and was very honest about the inability to forecast conditions on the day we were booked to arrive. We had an 8 hour drive and had our two grandchildren with us so he advised us not to attempt it as the town was at risk of being evacuated. We are looking forward to re-booking later in the year.

It is really hard to put into words what a magical place this little spot is. The owners welcomed us with banana nut bread, berries, and wine. The cottage is very comfortable, and the amenities so cute. There is a hummingbird feeder off the back deck with at least 9 hummingbirds that visit. There are beautiful flowers including rose bushes in the front. The back deck also has grapes growing. The cottage is on the land occupied by a vineyard. It is quiet, and we wish we had a day just to hang out there. Mariposa is a cute and historical little town. We will definitely look to come back for a longer period of time.

My husband and two teenagers really enjoyed our 3-day stay! The spacious cottage was a wonderful place to relax following a day hiking and sightseeing at Yosemite. The owners, Mary Lou and Cliff were super friendly and helpful. In fact, when our daughter had to stay behind one day due to illness, they checked in on her to make sure she was doing well. It was great having a fully-equipped kitchen for making quick breakfasts, for packing lunches to bring to the park, and for making dinners to enjoy on the deck overlooking the lovely fruit trees and vineyards. Note that there is no AC, but if you keep the shades pulled during the day and open the windows in the evening, the fans will cool the place down quite well and you will sleep like a baby! Wi-fi worked well, which really comes in handy after being "off the grid" all day at Yosemite. The town of Mariposa is a quick drive if you'd like to go out to dinner or pick up groceries, etc. It takes about 1 hour to drive to the Yosemite valley from the cottage, but it is a pleasant and scenic drive.
