Comfortable place close to Yosemeti.

My sister and I enjoyed our stay at the Barn Loft. The loft is very comfortable, pleasant and all-around great! Enjoyed sitting on the deck after spending the days hiking at Yosemite. Kathy and John are great hosts and so much fun to visit. They took an interest in how we were enjoying our trip and had great suggestions. Highly recommend staying here.

Home away from home

The best stop of my entire trip. The place was truly like a home away from home, especially the kitchen. Loved the rural vibe and proximity to Yosemite. The hosts were very welcoming and the property has resident hummingbirds which always entertain. I hope to return sooner than later!

Beautiful , Comfortable and Private apartment rental in close proximity to Yosemite N.P

My husband and I spent 7 nights in this modern apartment rental in the town of Marisposa while visiting Yosemite N.P. We could not have picked a more comfortable and convenient location for our visit. The accommodations were all what we expected and more. Everything on the VRBO site is perfectly described and pictured. Plus the hosts are very friendly and close by on the property for any desired assistance. Would recommend this rental highly when visiting the area.

Perfect Rural Yosemite Retreat

We booked 5 nights at the Barn Loft Apartment and in less than 24 hours it felt like a home away; well furnished & supplied with everything we needed. John was a great host who has obviously never met a stranger. He is a wonderful story teller and full of local information. He greeted us each evening as we returned from the park, just to ask how our day went. Great vacation retreat!

Best rental ever.

This was the best quipped rental we have ever experienced. Everything was very high quality and the kitchen was excellent for cooking up a meal after a long hike in Yosemite. And to top it all Kathy and John were amazing hosts, so kind and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you again Kathy and John, you made our holiday perfect.

Lovely Stay

Kathy was great with prompt communication and John helped us with check-in and Yosemite and Mariposa suggestions. The apartment was well set-up and comfortable, specially the kitchen and all the amenities. (They provided an air fryer!) We were able to easily prep for early departures to Yosemite (about an hour to the North Entrance and Mariposa Grove). Thank you John and Kathy!

Beautiful property, close to Yosemite

Only about an hour from both the south and east Yosemite entrances, this loft was beautiful and in great shape. Very clean upon our arrival. Bed was very comfortable. Katharine and John were both incredibly kind and friendly. They had a wealth of information about the area, both Mariposa and Yosemite. They were also both available if/when we needed them. We would absolutely stay here again if we're in the area!
