We had a great time watching movies and walking around the neighboring area. The property was very comfortable and just as described, and it was easy to find as well. The town where the property is located has a nice downtown area with great restaurants, pharmacies, and other amenities. We’d recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet place for their vacation.

The kitchen need to be cleaned and cabinets full of rusty pans and pots
We stayed at the Cozy Bear Hollow for several days in early October while visiting Yosemite. We loved the cabin -- it was very clean and nicely decorated with high quality furnishings and Western decor (with many nods to bears), had very comfortable beds, and had a beautiful, fully stocked kitchen. We loved the peace and quiet in the evening, punctuated late at night by the occasional yipping of coyotes, and the view of the stars from the back porch was lovely. This part of California was experiencing a heat wave during our stay (highs near 100) -- fortunately the air conditioning worked very well. The cabin was convenient to Yosemite (well, as convenient as it can be when you are not actually staying in the park), and the little town of Mariposa was very quaint. We enjoyed several of the restaurants in Mariposa -- the 1850 Restaurant, Hideout Saloon, and Happy Burger Diner. Owner Victoria was an absolute pleasure to work with, and check in was very easy. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Yosemite, and would highly recommend to friends and family.
Nos alojamos durante dos días para visitar el parque de Yosemite y no pudimos elegir mejor .
La casa es preciosa, no le falta detalle y todo limpio y organizado
Muy buena ubicación
Sin duda si volviera por aquí la elegiría otra vez.
Muchas gracias a Victoria, la propietaria
We sincerely enjoyed your home!! The beds were super comfy. The owner quickly responded to our messages. The hot tub is cozy for 4 adults but doable, the clubhouse is smaller than expected as well as the pool table was not full size, but the guys had fun. The kitchen was fairly well stocked, could use some updated frying pans for sure., but we again managed. We would stay again for sure. This house made a great home for our long weekend!!
Very nice house for our visit to Yosemite. Beds were extremely comfortable. Enjoyed the deck area for winding down in the evening after a long day at the park. Owner (Victoria) was very sweet & helpful. Mariposa is just down the road. Lots of restaurants to choose from. The pictures of the house are what you will get. No surprises. Thanks for a wonderful 3 nights.
My wife and I stayed here for two nights. It was an amazing stay. It is in a very quiet area with a good cozy feel to the place. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing in after a day of hiking.
Name and listing is accurate! Everything you need as far as amenities. Loved the hot tub after all day at Yosemite, which is very close (about 45 min). Showers/tub bit dated but okay. Could use a bit of tlc on the outside.
Cozy bear hollow is just like the name describes; cozy. It was perfect for our family of four who were visiting Yosemite. The house was clean, plenty of linens and towels provided. The only drawback is the driveway, its not paved so you have to go slow especially in the dark.
We were able to spot some wild hares near the house and the kids really enjoyed that. We'll definitely come back again!
Place is just perfect for a weekend getaway. Very cozy and intimate. Has everything we needed, bbq, hot tub, kitchen, 2 bedroomS, 2 Bathrooms... Hosts very easy to connect with too. Would definitely recommend to everyone staying around Yosemite
Really fits the description as a perfect "Cozy" getaway after a long day in the park. We treated ourselves to this retreat after conquering Half Dome and truly appreciated the Jacuzzi! Plenty of space for everyone and appreciated the full kitchen and dining room to enjoy a great meal together. The heater worked wonderfully. Will definitely recommend to all our friends coming to Mariposa!

Charming and Inviting.
Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. Living room was large and comfortable. The kitchen was not only big, but had every utensil, bowl and cooking implement that we could imagine. We loved sitting on the deck and the hot tub was relaxing. We were delighted with our stay and plan to return. We have already referred other family members and friends.

Exceptional Accommodations!
Victoria responded quickly with directions and tips to get to the place. She was also super helpful to assist with extending our stay when I entered the dates wrong. We were so pleased with our stay and the accommodations at Cozy Bear Hollow. It was private and had everything we needed to relax after day hikes in Yosemite (which was pretty close!). Everyone slept comfortably. Such a pleasant experience with cozy touches everywhere. I would recommend Cozy Bear Hollow to anyone looking to come out this way!

Cute cozy cabin
Our stay at cozy bear was delightful. We loved the place and will probably be back in the summer.
It has everything we needed outside of some olive oil, we picked up coffee and some food to cook.
The book she has there explained a lot. That was nice.
The restaurants in town were great and there’s a grocery store and rite aid.
It was about an hour to Yosemite. Yosemite was beautiful.
We saw deer and loved the cooler weather and having coffee ☕️ in the morning. A lot of beauty to take in. Nice quiet time reflecting and reading.
Thank you Victoria. Hope to stay again.
