The retreat was very nice spacious and very well equipped for our stay. It took us about 1 1/4 to get to Yosemite valley and 1hour to Mariposa grove. The house was a little more remotely located than we expected. However we did enjoy the town of Mariposa 15 min away. Nice dining options and a good grocery.

Great property in fabulous location

Very spacious, comfortable property in secluded location. Perfect place to relax, with large deck, hot tub, bbq, great for star gazing. Also good for Yosemite (about an hour’s drive). Would definitely come back if we are in the area again.

Quiet Retreat

The Retreat was a nice weekend getaway for our group. The amenities like ping pong, hot tub, and board games let us all hang out and chill after a long day in Yosemite. ~15min from Mariposa to try the local shops and restaurants. The host was really responsive and answered very timely.

Nice Place

It was pleasing to stay there. We had everything we needed, the Beds were comfortable, and the yoga mat and space in the living room were a plus. Also, I had planned to bring a dog with us but we didn't if we had a dog I am sure he would have a great time too!! The only negative was a little far from Yosemite. That's all. Thanks to Peter for responding to our question quickly.

A lovely stay for the family trip to Yosemite

The place was clean, comfortable and well-heated for the winter (we stayed over Christmas). The yard was huge and my dog enjoyed running around within the fenced area. The hot tub and table tennis table were also great amenities that my family enjoyed. Kitchen is well-stocked with kitchenware, dining ware and some spices. It is about an hour’s drive to Yosemite. I would stay here again.

Meh….

We did not have the best experience at this property due to the cleanliness of the kitchen and the floors in the main living area. Let me point out by saying the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Upon arrival at the house at 330, one window and small door were left opened. It was 112 outside, inside of the house was HOT at 89 degrees. The thermostat was set at 87. It took until the next day for the home to cool down to 76 degrees and there were no fans in any of the rooms. We were going to Yosemite so we planned on cooking meals at the house. The kitchen not clean. The utensil door had a large greasy food spill in the silverware. We were only left one hand towel n the kitchen and had to use our bathroom wash clothes and towels. We were made aware that the washing machine was broken, but was being replaced during our stay. When we pointed out that we had no kitchen supplies to clean up after ourselves, Peter did give us supplies, but no attempt was made to clean the kitchen or floors. Peter actually saw the greasy mess in the kitchen drawer and his response was he would give the cleaners feedback. Third day we had ants on the kitchen floor by the pantry. The floors n the living area were so dirty that the bottoms of our feet were black on the first night. We did ask for a refund on the cleaning fee since the house was not clean. Peter didn’t feel that was necessary, he blamed it on the elements and rural location. Wish I could post pix of the ants and grease.

This was the right choice! My group needed a place to stay for our half dome trip/hike and we loved it! So spacious and we all had our own rooms! I'm always crazy about having an entire kitchen as I always pack lots of food and have a particular diet and way of cooking so I was especially pleased to have a nice kitchen with everything! We wish we could have stayed an extra day to just relax and truly enjoy everything even more. But we did enjoy waking up after the big hike and enjoying breakfast on the back patio before we had to pack up and leave. Everything was very comfortable and in tip top shape. The host was especially kind and always responded to my questions very quickly and was very reliable. I would highly recommend this spot! Also... loved that there are lots of deer nearby the property that we got to see while driving.

Caveat: I do not give five stars unless warranted. Not everyone gets a trophy. Excellent home for your Yosemite adventures. Relatively close to the park, and only about five miles to Mariposa. The house was tidy, clean, and well appointed. The back deck is a great place to relax with a drink after a day at Yosemite. We found the rental a private place to enjoy the golden California sunsets. We also saw a few turkeys, deer, and a coyote. Our dog loved being on watch from the deck.

The kitchen facilities were not fully functioning- the oven and stove in particular - and there were not many consumables (no garbage bags, no laundry detergent, etc). There also was an infestation of ants in the kitchen that got into all of our dry food. The rest of the property was fine, but the kitchen was basically unusable for our group, unfortunately. We did love the hot tub and the views from the backyard!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The pictures and accommodations were just as described and enjoyable. Our family loved the nature, outdoor games, and hot tub. We drove to Yosemite and thought the drive was easy. Mariposa is a cute little town. The nature outside was wonderful with deer and a great view. I was unaware the property was on gravel. The few things we have to critique were many of the dishes we used were dirty. The towels did not smell good. The trash bin to drop trash in at check out was disgusting and had not been picked up in a long time. There was barely room for our trash, there were maggots on the bin, and the smell was terrible.

Great house for a trip to Yosemite

Nice house in a very quiet rural neighborhood. We enjoyed grilling on the deck and soaking in the hot tub under the starlight. The house is about 10-15 minutes to the highway on gravel and paved windy roads and about 1 hour to the Yosemite south entrance.

The house is in a nice and remote area. It is great to have morning coffee on the back deck and listen to all the peacefulness of nature. Same with looking at the stars at night of the back deck. The beds are quite comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are in very good condition. My group very much enjoyed their stay at Peter's place! Yosemite is an easy drive that can take from 45 minutes to an hour during our stay (late May)!
