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!

Perfect getaway.

Comfortable, secluded property. Well equipped. Close to town. Close to Yosemite and Sequoia. We had a great 3 days there. Instructions were clear. We knew exactly what was expected of us. Check-in and check-out easy. Owner was very helpful and available if we had any questions. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Dave Atkins

Local small business owner with three boys. I love this area. Yosemite, obviously, is a huge draw. However, Mariposa is a such a great small town with great restaurants and bars. The downtown area is historic and fun!

Why they chose this property

Mariposa is a great historical town with several great restaurants and bars. The town supervisors have done a great job keeping the town small and cute with an undeniable historical flair. The area provides lots of elevation and topography options with homes located from 2,000 to 5,000 feet elevation. This home is at 3,000 feet which is perfect for weather. Snow typically less than a foot and it typically doesn't stick around more than a day.

What makes this property unique

This is a highly efficient and comfortable house with a powerful forced air unit, energy efficient walls and windows and great water pressure. It's on a great 450' well that has great water and a powerful pump. On top of that, we have reverse osmosis water that is filtered before coming in the house, then triple filtered. We also have solar panels for energy efficiency! This is a great house for relaxing with family and friends while visiting Yosemite National Park!

The home is very private with distant views in all directions. I guarantee you will love this place. The house is cozy yet has extra large rooms and an open kitchen / living area. TVs are connected to the internet for Netflix, YouTube, Amazon. All TVs are smart TVs. The wood stove is optional, but a romantic option. The home gets super-warm in no time with either the forced air unit or the wood stove.
