Great family vacation with all the amenities

The house was fully stocked with linens & all the kitchenware we needed for a 2 family vacation. The kids loved the game room so much that it was hard to get them out of the house. The host was very responsive. I emailed her about a slow leak in the hall toilet & she sent someone to fix it the very next day while we visiting Yosemite. Smart home features were very convenient, especially during hot weather. Downtown Mariposa was only 15 mins away so we could easily pick up supplies in town or eat out. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Yosemite.

Wonderful time at this house

Excellent communication with the owner who responded quickly to all our questions. The house is very comfortable, clean, and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The game room was a hit with both adults and kids. We highly enjoyed our stay.

We will definitely return!

From even before we arrived, we felt well prepared by the host with the info given for arrival and entry to the property. We arrived at night and despite it being dark, the driveway and property was well lit and easy to enter. You never know what you're really going to get with a rental property but we were very pleasantly surprised at the condition of the home and the comfort of the furnishings. It's a home that's very amenable to a family and there's plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked and set up with the necessities for preparing a meal (ample pots/pans, knives, silverware and plates). The game room was a huge hit with our teenagers (and us too) and of course the sweeping sunrise views from the deck were just beautiful. We enjoyed going into Yosemite a couple days but we equally enjoyed our time just hanging out at Villa Alta Vista and taking walks on the nearby country roads. The town of Mariposa was a short 15 min drive away, for a grocery run and restaurants. And our youngest son was stoked to find a skate park in town also! Thanks so much for a fantastic stay! We will definitely return for more of what this property offers!

Fabulous House and Close to Yosemite

Our group had a great time at Villa Alta Vista! The wraparound deck was where we spent each morning enjoying the sunrise with our coffee and spectacular views and each evening where we watched an endless amount of shooting stars. While the house was remote with land surrounding it, it was also close enough to the charming town of Mariposa and to the entrance to Yosemite. Any questions we had about the property were quickly responded to and any issues were resolved in a timely matter (the pilot light for hot water needed to be re-lit during our stay). We would highly recommend this property to anyone with a group who wants plenty of space, attention to detail (local coffee and wine were provided), and beautiful deck to take in the surrounding views!

We are Brian and Jennifer Johnson, both originally from the Central Valley of California. However, we have built our lives in Silicon Valley because of the nature of Brian’s work. Brian is a VP of Engineering for an online health insurance company, and Jennifer is a Special Education Teacher for middle schoolers. We are avid travelers and love to visit and explore new cities and countries. Our recent passion has been exploring the beautiful locations in California since the pandemic has limited our ability to go farther.

Why they chose this property

We have been searching for the perfect retreat to get away from our busy lives in San Jose to the serene mountain atmosphere of Mariposa, and we knew we had found it in this home. Villa Alta Vista is the place our family needs to be able to stretch and breathe, and we look forward to offering that same serenity to our guests, too.

What makes this property unique

Villa Alta Vista has a breathtaking view from the upper balcony. The gorgeous mountains and sweeping valley below draws you in and makes you want to lounge with a hot beverage or glass of local wine. During your stay, we will delight in offering you the best that Mariposa has to offer.
