This was a very quiet peaceful place as a hub for our visit to Yosemite. Very homey feel and owners were just a phone call away. Really nice to have the deck for star gazing and the screened in porch during a light rain.

Wonderful, very well equipped property, spacious, comfortable, cosy, and in a great location in the woods, although somewhat further from Yosemite park than we had anticipated. Would highly recommend, though, if the distance is taken into account.

Cabin to get away in the wild

We enjoyed our stay at the lovely cabin. The cabin was very nice spacious and Nora was kind and accommodating. About an hour away from yosemite valley which 10 miles from near by grocery stores so, would recommend bringing groceries with you.We would love to stay again in same cabin.

The cabin is very cozy and well equipped with everything you'll need to have a comfortable stay. Especially the screened in patio! The location is pretty good. Not too far from town and about 1 hr - 1.5 hr drive away from both El Portal and Mariposa Grove park entrances. Overall it was a great place to relax after a long day exploring the park. 5/5 and we would stay here again! Thank you!

Very quite, peaceful, and down-to-earth

This is a nice sized "cabin" in a quiet neighborhood. The way the house is situated makes it seem secluded. I think it was great for the price point and we would stay there again. The hosts are very nice. Please note, it is a windy, long drive from Mariposa to get to this cabin. It is about 45 minutes to Yosemite. There is nothing pretentious or luxurious about it. It was perfect for us and I wish I owned it.

Lived up to listing

Loved everything about this place. Clean and bed was comfy. Liked the open and screened porch with view of woods and no other buildings, Just like others have commented that it is about 30 minutes to Mariposa but the offset is feeling secluded and quiet. Great communication with the host too. Always answered when called.

Beyond expectations

Nora and Frank are underselling this place! They had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay, filled with family time. Although it is a bit of a drive to Yosemite, we were fine to max out our days because this house had all we needed to cook a good meal and relax at night. Perfectly comfortable. Hosts were super helpful before the trip and when we got there. Truly, they far surpassed our expectations. We are truly grateful. This place made our big trip so much easier.
Great outdoor screened area
More space outdoors. The weather is perfect
