Secluded cabin with 360 degree view of surrounding mountains. Very convenient drive to Yosemite. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with shampoo and body wash. This is one of the most comfortable stays I've had with short term rentals. Well stocked kitchen.

Fantastic cabin

By far this has been our favorite Vrbo stay. The cabin was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. It felt like we were staying at a friends house with the games, dish TV, and excellent communication from Dave. Would 110% stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Absolutely gorgeous cabin within an hour of Yosemite NP.

The 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath cabin was ideal for our family visit to the area. Everything was spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed the foosball and the table shuffleboard. Possibly the best VRBO we have ever stayed in.

This house was as listed. Very secluded area with incredible views of the stars at night. Only takes about 45-50 minutes to get to the gate of Yosemite Valley. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable Escape for Adventure

We really enjoyed this gret property that is within 10 minutes of Mariposa and about 45 from Yosemite. The three bedrooms and 4 baths were comfortable and well appointed. The large front and back porches allowed relaxed enjoyment of the surrounding hills in almost 365 degrees. The owner was very helpful in providing advice on the area.

Great Secluded Gateway to Yosemite

While you may he able to find a more luxurious accommodation, our family absolutely loved our stay. The cabin was well stocked, secluded and a perfect basecamp for visiting Yosemite. A few minor issues here and there (clogged shower heads) but overall clean, open and welcoming. Dave was great about communicating and even though the location was more remote, it was easy enough to find.

My new favourite place to stay for Yosemite trips

Dave’s place is lovely! It’s really well maintained, exactly as shown in the photos, in fact, the place is even better, I would argue. It’s a short 10 mins drive away from Mariposa market. Mariposa is a quaint little town with surprisingly fun night life. As for this place, it’s situation on a hill top, easy access - quiet and pristine. Definitely coming back!
