Perfect gate to Yosemite stay

This home was the perfect spot to utilize as a base for daily Yosemite visits. With a stunning drive into/out of the Valley, games, hot tub, open concept kitchen/living space, and plenty of well maintained outdoor space, this home has nearly everything you need for a group or family to relax, hang out, and come and go from.

Fenced Yard and Dog Friendly

We had an amazing stay! The fenced yard was perfect for our dog to run around and play safely, giving us peace of mind. The house was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone. The location was convenient, and the host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommend this property to anyone traveling with pets. We’ll definitely be back!

The house is in a nice and remote area. It is great to have morning coffee on the back deck and listen to all the peacefulness of nature. Same with looking at the stars at night of the back deck. The beds are quite comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are in very good condition. My group very much enjoyed their stay at Peter's place! Yosemite is an easy drive that can take from 45 minutes to an hour during our stay (late May)!

Quiet Retreat

The Retreat was a nice weekend getaway for our group. The amenities like ping pong, hot tub, and board games let us all hang out and chill after a long day in Yosemite. ~15min from Mariposa to try the local shops and restaurants. The host was really responsive and answered very timely.

Wonderful Stay close to Yosemite

We loved Peter’s place for our trip to the Yosemite MARIPOSA Grove area. The house was appealingly decorated and equipped with all we needed, immaculate, and beds VERY comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely views during morning coffee, reasonableDrives to the places of interest we visited all day, enjoyed family meals back at the house and stargazed in the hot tub each evening. Was all we hoped and more! Thank you Peter!

Peter’s Property is fab. It is close to Yosemite valley (45-60mins drive). House has lots of board games, spacious rooms & comfy bed. Outdoor Hot tub was so relaxing. Don’t need to go anywhere for stargazing you can see them from hot tub/ patio.

Comfortable home

We enjoyed our stay at this clean and comfortable home. Thank you for allowing us to bring our dogs. We should have known that this time of year the outside would have lots of burrs and foxtails so we had to keep the dogs in. We will come again a different time of year.

Nice Place

It was pleasing to stay there. We had everything we needed, the Beds were comfortable, and the yoga mat and space in the living room were a plus. Also, I had planned to bring a dog with us but we didn't if we had a dog I am sure he would have a great time too!! The only negative was a little far from Yosemite. That's all. Thanks to Peter for responding to our question quickly.

Great stay for a weekend!

Perfect location before getting into Yosemite. Space was open and we loved the layout of the house. The fireplace was such a sweet addition to warm up the kitchen and living room. We enjoyed the hot tub and it was the perfect place to see the moon come up from the mountain and the VIEW! We were able to see the snow top covered mountains. Everything was perfect and we were able to enjoy the property with our own privacy. The last bit of the ride to the house is unpaved dirty road but we had no issues getting there even under the rain. Parking was plenty! Thanks for bosting us!

Great Property!

We thought this was a very nice place! Our grouo had 2 adult couples and the layout worked very well for us. It was very clean! The views were beautiful! We didnt get to use the hot tub or corn hole boards as we just didnt take the time. We were staying there so we could visit Yosemite. It was about 50 mintues to the Arch Rock gate. We did eat in Mariposa twice and it was maybe 15 minutes to get into town. Overall, we really enjoyed this property and would go back! Thank you, Peter!!

Cozy house

I loved the inside of the house, it was very clean, spacious, and modern. The house is located very remotely, the GPS directions aren’t exact, you have to keep driving a few more minutes on the road after it says you arrived. From the photos I didn’t notice the outside is all weeds and foxtails. I took my dogs and the foxtails kept getting stuck in their fur. Wish this place had a dog friendly outside area.

Fantastic Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I booked this location to be close to Mariposa and Yosemite. It was the ideal place for us to have access to what we needed and be far enough outside the city lights to feel like we were in a wild area. The house and grounds are wonderful. Everything worked perfectly. Our favorite amenities were the large deck with ping pong table and the cornhole setup. The string of lights on a timer let us finish our game after dark! We unplugged the lights to achieve total darkness for viewing the Milky Way from the deck. So many stars! Highly recommend this rental.
