Yosemite Visit

Yosemite was the last National Park on our family’s 3 week trip out west, and the cabin was a great place to conclude our trip. Great accommodations, and easy access to Yosemite and to Mariposa. Owners provide great instructions and details on the property and surrounding areas, would definitely stay again if in the area.

We had a wonderful stay at the Midpine cottage! The place was clean, beautifully decorated and full of thoughtful touches! Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. There are several spots around the property to relax- we especially enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch. Jerry and Courtney were very responsive host. They even set out a bed, bowls and treats for our puppies which we really appreciate! Highly recommend this place and would love to come back.

WONDERFUL stay. This house has everything you need. We stayed here for the proximity to Yosemite and ended up staying at the house one day instead so we could enjoy it. It is a destination in itself and we can't wait to return.

Wonderful getaway near Yosemite

We used it as our home base to take winter hikes in Yosemite. It was lovely! The single tiny downside was not being able to leave our very old dog in the home while we were away. But overall a very comfortable home.

Awesome vacation!

This house was so perfect for my group of 4 people. We stayed in this house so we could go to Yosemite. It was about a 35-40 minute drive from the entrance to the park. The place was pretty remote which was nice for watching the stars. We enjoyed the hot tub the most!

Relaxing getaway near Yosemite

My family and I made this place our base for our Yosemite trip, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We loved how cozy the interior of the home was, and how close to nature we were. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped and hot tub was clean. On top of that, we found all we need provided for in the accommodations - ranging from dishwashing pods, washing detergent and dryer wool, pots and pans, spices for our cooking just to name a few.There was a small hiccup where the barbecue ran out of gas. The hosts were very quick to respond, which we are grateful for. Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing stay!
