This property had everything we needed as a home base for our trip to Yosemite, and it was nice to return to a quiet space after spending full days in the park with lots of people(!). The drive to the park entrance was 45–60 minutes, but it was a lovely and scenic drive.
Our family had a great vacation in the Yosemite area. Julie’s place was just what we needed for our family. The home is located within an hour of the park and near enough to town so that shopping and entertainment is easy to reach. The home is very clean and well decorated and is just right for relaxing after a long day hiking. The front porch has comfortable furniture and a grill. There is plenty of room in the yard and you can walk down the winding street and get a glimpse of the stream below. I would definatly recommend this home if you are looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy all that the area has to offer.

Quiet relaxation.
The apartment was comfortable and very quiet. The smartly furnished deck/porch was a wonderful to sip coffee in the morning, as well as wind up your day watching the sunset.
The place had all the amenities we required for our getaway and it was a great jumping off place for our daily forays into Yosemite. it was not far from convenient grocery shopping options, which helped with our food budget. However, some very good dining options were available as well.
Julie was a responsive host, answering the few questions we had during our stay.
We would not hesitate to seek booking this property first the next time coming to the area.
We enjoyed our stay. The unit was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. Quiet area and beautiful views. We set up our daughter’s travel crib in the bathroom and closed the pocket door - created a nice dark space for her. Ample outlets for plugging in her sound machine and monitor. Lovely deck and seating area. Would recommend to others!
Thank you

A beautiful & Cozy getaway
We loved staying in Mariposa at this wonderful and beautiful home. There were so many little touches that made it so perfect. We loved the DVD collection, the string lights and furniture on the deck, the amazing chairs hung from the trees with fairy lights (my favorite place to hang out) and the variety of games! We had such an amazing trip and visited Yosemite while we were there and at at the 1850 restaurant BOTH nights it was so good!
We will definitely be coming back again and staying here!

This property had everything you could want in a stay. It has a beautiful outdoor patio that’s covered to shade you from the hot sun. There are also very comfortable tree swinging chairs to relax on
My wife, two kids and I spent the long week end of Memorial Day in the property. The house was very pretty, well decorated, clean, quiet, with a great view and great sunset. To watch the sunset at the balcony while having our dinner, was a bless and very pretty. Even the kids were asking us to watch the sunset. We were surrounded by beautiful birds of any color. My kids loved to go around the property and play with the swings and to talk to Robert about the plants and birds. Robert and Julie were great hosts. Robert gave us suggestions for anything we needed and was always available for a chat in the garden. We definitely loved it and plan to go back. Andrea, Ju, Sofia and Pietro

Amazing Spot!
This little rustic bungalow was perfect for our stay close to Yosemite. It's a picturesque property with lots of birds and other wildlife. Right outside historic little town of Mariposa and only about an hour from Yosemite NP. Great space, fast WIFI, sat TV, lots of household needs and very nice owners. Highly recommend this property!
The apartment is exactly like the photographs. Very spacious and clean. All the facilities needed to prepare breakfast, lunch and evening meals are available. Air con and fans help to keep the apartment cool. There are shops, restaurants, a supermarket and laundry in mariposa which is a 10min drive away. The location is very peaceful and we spent each evening watching the sun go down from the garden chairs. Yosemite valley is approx 1hr 15mins drive away so this apartment makes a good base where you have space to relax and unwind after a day of hiking.
The owner is lovey and check-in is via key code so was really easy.
We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend the apartment.
The setting, location, proximity to town were fantastic. I took my 19 & 21 year old children to celebrate dual graduations gifts. We visited Yosemite each day, shopped at the local stores in Mariposa (10 min) away and went to Oakhurst for swimming and horseback riding. Woke up each morning to wildlife and quiet country! Absolutely will visit again and recommend it to anyone looking for the getaway so many of us need.
This was the perfect home base for me & my 11-yo daughter, as we annually visit a National Park each summer. The calm and serene surroundings were exactly what we hoped for, after long days of hiking and adventuring. The views were spectacular and the home felt "like home", was cozy and clean and A/C worked well. We especially enjoyed the hammock and porch area to relax in. Highly recommend for 2-3 ppl max!
Loved staying here! Perfect location! Close to town, but far enough away to offer some added privacy. Great home with modern feel and amazing patio space to enjoy the beautiful California weather!

Perfect place to stay!
The home is so charming and well thought out. The sweet note and basket of goodies was such a thoughtful touch - it truly felt like a home away from home. I would recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Loved it!
My family and I stayed here 3 nights while visiting Yosemite. The accommodations were outstanding. Clean and welcoming. It felt like home. We had the opportunity to meet the owners and they were wonderful. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.
The home is smartly decorated and clean, just as it appears in the pictures. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the abundant wildlife. The owners have added special touches that make you feel very welcome. Wonderful experience!

Hi Balakrishna, We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at this property! The home can comfortably sleep four guests and is perfect for small families like your own. The cleaning fee is standard for the vacation rental industry, and ensures that you and other guests can arrive to a spotless unit but does not cover daily housekeeping. We apologize for any disappointment and wish you all the best in your future travels. Best, the Evolve Team

Great Stay!
My husband I went to Mariposa for a quite weekend away. The house was stocked with everything you could need including a ton of movies and games. We very much enjoyed seeing the deer during our breakfast time on the patio. The house was a perfect size for the two of us. The owners make it very easy to access everything you need while you are there including entry/exit. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in a lovely home.

Cozy, peaceful and charming
The sweet home is exactly as pictured. It is cozy enough for a family of 3. It was very quiet and relaxing. The home accommodates its guests very well. Downtown Mariposa is about 15 mins away. Yosemite is 1 hour away from the beautiful home. I would definitely rent again.

If you can rent this home you'd be lucky. It has everything you could need, it's very beautiful and quiet in the countryside, and the owners are great. I highly recommend it
