It was so nice and clean! Parking was very easy and felt safe. Quiet area and a nice drive into the park. I would recommend to anyone looking for something a little outside the park that is comfortable with everything you need! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

No better place to spend our thanksgiving!

I am so glad we picked here to stay for our thanksgiving getaway. It was perfect. And the owner went above and beyond to make sure we felt at home. She even had snacks, a filled cookie jar, water, and a Keurig with a variety of coffees. We would stay here again in a second. And bonus that it was an easy drive to Yosemite. Loved loved loved this place

Great Stay!!

If your thinking about staying in Mariposa, this place is perfect! Don't let the price make you think you'll get what you pay for, because with this rental you get so much more than you pay for. There were so many wonderful extras included in the rental. We stay at vrbo rentals often and I must say that Irene is definitely one of the best hosts!! We would recommend this rental to anyone and we will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Great location for Yosemite

Great location for a visit to the Yosemite area. The condo is very clean and you are really made to feel at home. Irene left items in the fridge and little gifts for the stay. She also provides a great coffee machine with a variety of coffees. You will not be disappointed and will be amazed at just how much "bear products have been bought and on display in the condo. The local supermarket is just behind Burger King on the main road. It is also worth dropping in at the visitor information centre (again on the main road) who went out of their way to assist us in our visit to Yosemite. Several local restaurants were also very good.

Relaxing at the Bear Retreat

My Family and I stayed 2 nights at the clean, spacious apartment in Mariposa, CA while visiting Yosemite in July 2016. It was only a 45 minute ride to Yosemite from there. The apartment was set back in the woods a bit and was quiet. We saw deer and wild turkeys walking in the woods in back of the complex. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, bottled water and K-Cups for the Keurig coffee maker. We went to a local grocery store and bought food and stayed in and cooked our meals. There was a grill right outside the room. It was great just eating in then relaxing after long days of hiking and sight-seeing at Yosemite. We would definitely come back here if we plan to visit again and recommend staying here to anyone coming to Yosemite in the future. Irene, Thank you for your great hospitality.

Dont let the low price fool you!

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at the Bear Retreat. The owners - Irene & Art - should be the models of what VRBO owners should do. They are there when you need them, day or night, but leave you alone when you want it. Little things make a big difference when you are visiting a new place: phone number to call if any problems (taped right on the door), clear instructions on how to get to the unit and get in (exact instructions were sent - the unit is clearly marked - and a personalized code is used just for your stay so you get in using your code.) information on using the TV (Information and channel guide were there), and information about the area (brochures and books about the Mariposa and Yosemite areas - and Irene and Art are full of information like where to go hiking with a lot less people and just as beautiful as Yosemite). Things I look for in a place that I want to return to: Clean (the Bear Retreat was not only clean but smelled great too) and comfortable - (beds are great and there is a nice recliner chair and couch in the living room). The Bear Retreat also has little extras - the condo has a true bear motif. It is not just the owners left overs thrown together. They layout and decorations are nice and fun to look at. There is also an amazing number of spices. If you love to cook, you will have fun. And, there is a variety of single-serve coffee flavors to keep everyone in your group happy if they love coffee (or hot chocolate). The only thing to be aware of is that is that you can sometimes hear some noise from upstairs as well as cars driving in on the gravel driveway area. Neither my husband nor I am a light sleeper so it didn't bother us, but if you are very sensitive to noise this might not be the right place for you. However, if you want a nice 2-bedroom to stay in while visiting the Yosemite / Mariposa area - a clean and comfortable place to just relax - this is a great choice.

Cozy apartment

This property felt like home. Clean, cute Bear decor. Lots of extras, k-cups, foil, paper towels, popcorn, filtered water, sweet little town. Only one night we had some children upstairs that were loud very early in the morning. Six deer met us at the end of the street. I would stay here again.

Heat and Fire

Due to the extreme heat (over 110) we didn’t take the trip and it was good that we didn’t as Mariposa is on fire. More than 900 acres burned so far. The rental is on Hospital Road and was one of the first areas to be evacuated

Yosemite base

The Bear Retreat served our purpose well, for a base to visit Yosemite and Sierra NP’s. Everything was as described in the listing, the noise from the upstairs apartment was noticeable but minimal. The only issue was with the satellite Dish TV. With a couple days of heavy cloud cover we were unable to receive a signal, I did have my Firestick so was able to stream TV over the internet.

We came from France, landed in SF, headed to Yosemite and spent the night before in that place. Wow ! Localization is great, close from peaceful silent nature . The room was perfectly clean, and decoration absolutely wonderful ! Bear theme everywhere, so cute and very mountain theme friendly. Probably the most beautiful place we found among the 20 different places we sleep in during our trip. 10/10 !
