Fantastic cabin

By far this has been our favorite Vrbo stay. The cabin was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. It felt like we were staying at a friends house with the games, dish TV, and excellent communication from Dave. Would 110% stay here again and recommend it to friends.

Excellent stay in a beautiful location!

This property in Midpines was the perfect getaway for my family. We enjoyed this home surrounded by nature and the location was the right distance from Yosemite. David was a wonderful host and we will definitely stay there again!

Absolutely gorgeous cabin within an hour of Yosemite NP.

The 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath cabin was ideal for our family visit to the area. Everything was spotless and we thoroughly enjoyed the foosball and the table shuffleboard. Possibly the best VRBO we have ever stayed in.

Great spot, easy drive to Yosemite

This house was as listed. Very secluded area with incredible views of the stars at night. Only takes about 45-50 minutes to get to the gate of Yosemite Valley. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Secluded Gateway to Yosemite

While you may he able to find a more luxurious accommodation, our family absolutely loved our stay. The cabin was well stocked, secluded and a perfect basecamp for visiting Yosemite. A few minor issues here and there (clogged shower heads) but overall clean, open and welcoming. Dave was great about communicating and even though the location was more remote, it was easy enough to find.

Yosemite August 2020

Our family of 6 really enjoyed staying at Dave's Mariposa home. The home was perfect for 4 adults and 2 teenagers and we especially enjoyed eating on the back patio and enjoying the beautiful views. Dave was very helpful and made our stay very easy. It was a great retreat after spending the day in Yosemite!

Great family vacation!

My family and I were incredibly pleased with this house! The layout was perfect to give everyone their own private space when necessary but the open concept helped us feel together and connected also. Beds were comfortable. Showers were decent. Could have used a few more kitchen tools and covers for food storage but that was minor. Beautiful views and directions to get there were very clear. We’d definitely come back!

Comfortable Escape for Adventure

We really enjoyed this gret property that is within 10 minutes of Mariposa and about 45 from Yosemite. The three bedrooms and 4 baths were comfortable and well appointed. The large front and back porches allowed relaxed enjoyment of the surrounding hills in almost 365 degrees. The owner was very helpful in providing advice on the area.

Visiting Yosemite

What we expected and close enough to Yosemite to drive. Quiet house and Dave was very responsive. Location is good, just know it’s on a dirt/gravel road. Overall great experience!

Peaceful and beautiful respite for Yosemite stay

Dave’s place was great. Although it’s a 45-minute drive to and from the Yosemite entrance, the views and comfort of the home made it worth it for us. Even in the intense heat, the deep porches were lovely spots to sit and watch the birds and listen to nature. The stars at night were amazing! The home is nicely stocked as well with quality linens and towels. The upstairs master had the most comfy bed imo, but it was so nice for everyone to have their own bathroom. Overall we had a fantastic stay!

My new favourite place to stay for Yosemite trips

Dave’s place is lovely! It’s really well maintained, exactly as shown in the photos, in fact, the place is even better, I would argue. It’s a short 10 mins drive away from Mariposa market. Mariposa is a quaint little town with surprisingly fun night life. As for this place, it’s situation on a hill top, easy access - quiet and pristine. Definitely coming back!

Quiet, Peaceful

Very nice home. At top of hill, giving spacious views. Also means it’s hot and home is bright at first sunlight. Lots of room to sit and chill. Great get-away and close to town for market and a couple of good places for take-out.

Yosemite home base in Mariposa

Fabulous home base for our Yosemite visit for three couples. The home had all we needed - from the well equipped kitchen to the spacious bedroom / bathrooms for each couple. Loved sitting on the porch in evenings and enjoying the mountain top sunset or star-gazing. Once off the main road, there is a gravel / dirt road for about a mile. Our SUV navigated with no issues. Great communication with Dave, the owner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The Best Mountain Retreat Around!

The location of this gorgeous home is peaceful, private, and quiet, yet you're only 10 minutes from Mariposa with its restaurants, grocery, and points of interest (check out the Mariposa Museum!). Absolutely stunning views in all directions, immaculately clean, and the decor is just lovely. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you need for dinners at the house and picnics for adventures. The living/dining area is just perfect for relaxing. Each bedroom features super comfy beds and its own spa-like bathroom. There is plenty of storage space and Dave has provided many thoughtful items including toiletries and paper products. Laundry facilities were great to have. Awesome extras include games and tons of outdoor seating. Amazing night skies! Throughout the process, Dave was a pleasure to work with, promptly answering any questions we had and providing clear information about the property. We spent 4 full days visiting Yosemite from the house. It was a beautiful drive to the Arch Rock entrance (just under an hour and the most mild route into YNP) and we were delighted to return after long days in the park. I only wish we'd stayed longer. We would definitely come back if we are in the area again. We had a wonderful family vacation at this home. Thank you for your hospitality, Dave!! : )
