Our family stayed for a few days in Mariposa. The apartment was clean and had all the necessities. Love this little town- friendly people, lots of dining options within 5 minutes drive, not far from Yosemite.
It was a lovely apartment to stay in. Very close to the yart bus pick up for Yosemite. It was better than what I was expecting. Deer and turkeys were in the back yard to watch while b.b.q.ing. Everything was perfect for our stay.

Easy to find, quick access to town and highways, all amenities you'll need. Might want to bring your own pillow. The ones at the house are a little too big (for me). Wildlife in the property in back is fun to watch!
House has all amenities one would expect for a vacation home next to Yosemite (there's a water filter with cold and hot water, coffee machine, AC in every room, big TV and everything else you could need. Irene was an amazing host. Would definitely be back!
Loved the attention to detail. Beds were comfortable, great selection of coffee. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was primarily clean. It would benefit from hangers for our clothing, as there were none. Further, an ironing board and iron, as there were none. The property below was occupied and we could hear everything as they were so loud and the TV was on super load. The apartment had an odor that smelled like someone had been smoking and it was covered up with carpet fresh. The overall experince was good for the four days.
We chose to stay in Mariposa during our visit to Yosemite. This apartment was located close to the highway to the park and to restaurants and grocery stores in town. The kitchen was well-equipped, having everything we needed to make our own meals. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend it for anyone who doesn't mind being a little further away from the park.
Apartment was a lot bigger than we needed just being my husband and I, but well worth the money. 2 bedrooms, 1 queen bed and 2 twin with a reclining couch and chair this could easily sleep 6-7 ppl comfortably. The wildlife (deer) in the area were fun to watch. Everything we needed was already there.
We had a great time staying here for our 5-day trip to visit Yosemite. This 2BR apartment was perfect for our group of 4 adults, A great retreat to return to after long days of hiking in the park. The location was good as there were several good restaurants in Mariposa and we were about 45 minutes away from Yosemite Valley.
We had a great time and will definitely stay here again the next time we come to the area. Irene was a great host.

This is a great place to stay for visiting Yosemite. I stayed there with my wife and my parents and everything was great. Great communication with Irene. Definitely Recommended
Very clean, very reasonably priced, 1 hour to Yosemite, Irene was quick to respond to questions. She was there with in 20 minutes to replace the propane tank for the BBQ. I would stay there again if visiting Yosemite. The Hidden Grill in town was a fun place to eat and have a drink.
Cute butterfly themed space that has all necessities
Irene made sure that everything was readily available and we had a great time during our stay. We had a reservation for 2 nights for our trip to Yosemite and this was a great place to have some rest. The space has everything you would need that includes AC, clean bathrooms , coffee/hot chocolate , dishes and cookware if needed. Overall a 10/10 experience.
This place was amazing. It was spotless. It was located perfectly for excursions into Yosemite and Mariposa. It was decorated so cutely. Highly recommend it. Irene was great to work with.
Das Apartment ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und extrem gut ausgestattet (vor allem die Küche). Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und unser Sohn hatte viel Platz zum Spielen auf dem gemütlichen Teppich. Von Mariposa ist es zwar ein kleines Stück bis zum Yosemite Nationalpark, dafür gibt es aber einen großen Supermarkt und ein paar gute Restaurants.

We absolutely loved this property, it was perfect! Very well equipped, set in a beautiful location. We watched the birds, jack rabbits, turkeys, deer. Very safe and only a short drive from Mariposa which was a great little town. We also visited Yosemite which is about a 45 min drive away. An absolute must! Thank you Irene.
Convenient location. This rental worked well for getting to famous Natural destinations.
The town has a good grocery store and several gift shops. Wawona Hotel Restaurant, not far into the National Park, gets our thumbs up for its warm, attractive, and historical setting.
Irene has taken care to provide comforts of home and a relaxing mattress for our weary bones!

Had a great time, very clean, great location. Would come back again.
We had such a great time visiting Yosemite here! A beautiful small condo with a full kitchen and keurig! Clean bedding and nice living space for a long day after hiking and cooking dinner! Would definitely recommend and stay again!
The host was very responsive to my questions as we arrived, and the place was well supplied - kitchen, bathroom (good shampoo), and even numerous books on mariposa and Yosemite. Keurig with plenty of choices on coffees made breakfast before heading to Yosemite a breeze. Enjoyed the deer right in the backyard each dusk, and amply air conditioners to keep us cool on the hot July days.
This place was amazing! It was so nice to come back to after a long day of hiking. The house was very comfortable and cozy. The bed is memory foam which made us feel like we were resting on a cloud. We would definitely stay here again.
