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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

Would definitely stay here again.

We were visiting from Pennsylvania and did not know where to stay. We found this property and was pleasantly surprised. It was away on its own at the top of hill. Great view! Quite The house was very comfortable. The host responded quickly to a couple questions. No problems. It was about 45 mins to get to Yosemite around the Yosemite Valley area. Would recommend this place to others.

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!

We really loved this cabin. The property owner Dave was super helpful and communicative with all my questions. The cabin is SUPER clean and was extremely comfortable. We slept very well. We picked this place because of the close proximity to Mariposa and the entrances to the park. We had a rental Tesla and were able to get to Dave’s house without problems. We went in all the west entrances of Yosemite. Thoroughly enjoyed staying at this special place. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed!

Charming cabin located on a private property offering beautiful panoramic views and peaceful background setting. The home is very clean and fully equipped including a BBQ grill in the back where you can enjoy your dinner or sit out to watch the stars at night and each room were spacious. You can also enjoy the sunrise with your cup of coffee as you sit in the front porch. My family enjoyed our stay at the Plumbar Creek! The owner is super nice, very accommodating and is very communicative also. We would love to come back again. Thank you.
