During the winter months, warm up with the wood burning stove and standard gas heating at the house. Some winters there will be 1 to 2 inches of snow. For all the shooting enthuses there is a free shooting rang couple of minutes’ drive towards the national forest. It is a nice drive and also you can enjoy the beautiful views of the mountain range.

The property was really nice, clean, and well maintained. It was very spacious and well furnished. We were able to walk down to the river / creek behind the property and spend some quality time there. Even saw flocks of turkey wandering about that was quite fun for the kids! The host also called us the first day to make sure we were settled in and that was quite nice. Plenty of shopping and dining options at a 5-7 min drive so we didnt really have to worry about food at any time. Overall a 5/5 experience and we wouldnt mind staying there again when we visit Yosemite next time.

Nice

It was a nice home. There were 7 adults and we each had a bed. Anything over we believe someone would be sleeping on the couch. The view was lovely out the back door. Lots of curvy roads to get to the location.

Everything we needed for our quick getaway to Yosemite

My friends and I stayed at Paul's place for our 2-day trip to Yosemite. Convenient location ~1.5 hours away from the park, located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, utinsels, and cutlery (even some appliances like a toaster and hand mixer) which was very nice since we opted to have home cooked meals instead of eating out. The little pathway leading to the river in the back was also a nice little surprise! Overall, the house was very clean and well maintained. Great communication and timely responses from the host. I would definitely stay here again for my next trip to Yosemite!

Comfortable stay

I think I was much more pleased than I expected to be with this house. The liked the house layout with the three bedroom doors close to each other, and yet the rooms were private, one from the other. The house was staged for a super comfortable stay, from the towels and bedding, to the couch and TV entertainment, to the full kitchen and accessories, and the creek nearby. We enjoyed breakfasts at the patio as we heard the creek flow. We also enjoyed the creek itself, swimming in one of the many accessible watering holes. The house was 30 minutes from Oakdale - where we did our grocery shopping - and was 30 minutes from Mariposa - where we enjoyed the main street shops and museum. And, the house was 1.5 to 2.0 hours away from different Yosemite sites, so we got used to the long drives. Additionally, Paul was prompt in responding to every communication and even checked in every once in a while.

Comfy place for a decent price!

Slightly over an hour from Yosemite, but 15-20 minutes to conveniences of town. Beautiful home with plenty of amenities! Loved having a nice spacious kitchen to cook in. The multiple outdoor seating options were nice and relaxing, even though not too private from neighbors. Really cool firepit area with plenty of wood from recently cut trees! Our master bed was pretty comfy, others must have been comfy too because there were no complaints. Loved our bathroom with lots of counter space and good water pressure in shower. Water from sink was amazing to drink! Only pretty minor issues related to traveling with the elderly---had to use chairs/tv tray to elevate my parents luggage so they didn't have to bend down (bedrooms had one nightstand and no dressers.) Also, path to beautiful creek was pretty steep and too much for my elderly parents with bad knees to handle. But they soaked in plenty of creek/waterfall beauty at Yosemite!

The mountains were calling , so we went!

Cant say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here. Our first night in we had five turkeys visit us in the backyard. And were greeted several time by deer. The house was spacious. With a great flow. Everything was labeled making it easy to find items and put things away. We used Paul's place to spring board our day trips in the area. My cousin won the lottery to climb the last 600 ft of half dome 2 made it to the "visor" and the other 2 to the sub dome. ..so proud of them. We also went to kings canyon and sequoia national park. . There were only a few things I would change. 1) more side tables in the bed rooms. Several people in our party use cpap machines. We only had seven towels for our party of eight but this wasnt a big deal since we washed every day. And I think I forgot to run the dishwasher before we left. My apologies paul :( but he is one of the nicest hosts I've stayed with thankyou so much

Liked: Cleanliness
We stayed for 3 nights. The house is very clean and organized but furnitures are outdated. The bed was not comfortable and very squeaky. Both toilets made loud sound after every flush and the oven was very old and noisy. The creek nearby was easy to get to and very pretty. We even saw a deer the first day. Unfortunately, we did encounter a problem during our stay. We were notified by the owner the day before our arrival that the main bridge to the house is closed for the week and we will have to use the alternative route. When we got there, the road was completely unpaved and covered in rocks. It’s very narrow and only one way so it’s hard to let an oncoming car pass. It goes up and around the mountain so not much space. Our tires took some damage from that road condition and we had to drive very slowly, which added to our drive time. We asked the owner if we can check out one day early and get refund for just that one night but he refused. We had plans to stay at Yosemite to see the sunset but we couldn’t because we didn’t feel comfortable driving on that road in the dark since there are no street lights. It was very disappointing that we had to change our plans. We came from very far away and not sure when we’ll return to Yosemite again.

Great house for families at Yosemite

We had a great time at this home. It took about 90 minutes to get to Yosemite Valley, but it was worth it. The house has plenty of room and everything we needed in a quiet neighborhood. The internet worked great at the house. Internet service is spotty along the roads to Yosemite. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We'd stay here again. Thanks!

Yosemite at its Best.

Great location. We were about 25 miles away from Yosemite and it took us about an hour to get to the entrance. The house was wonderful and the owner was quick to reply to any of our questions. House was very clean and that is my number one concern when I rent a place.

We had plenty of room. Neighborhood was quiet and pretty convenient for not staying directly in Yosemite. There were a couple of downfalls, the internet was spotty and we couldn't take showers in both bathrooms at the same time without running out of hot water, but we worked around it. Check-in and out was simple and convenient. Overall, we were very pleased.

Nice quiet spot on a brook

We stayed here to visit Yosemite park, the ride into the park took a bit longer than we’d have liked but that is no fault of the property. The house was good and we enjoyed using the BBQ to cook dinner.

The house was incredibly cozy and comforting. The backyard is beautiful, with the short trip to the relaxing river adds so much more to the experience. The beds were comfortable, the house was warm, and every room in the house was clean. I recommend staying because the experience is one I definitely will pay to have again.

Perfect mountain getaway

My family traveled from Florida to San Francisco and then to the mountains, staying in this home and taking a day trip to Yosemite. The house was well-appointed and had everything we needed to be comfortable. We enjoyed cooking meals in the kitchen, which had just about everything! Mariposa was such a cute little town and the grocery store was awesome. The trip to Yosemite was great - we were even able to rent snow chains from a gas station in Mariposa. Owner communicated very well and we had a fantastic stay!
