Along the route there are places to stop for picnics, water rafting, beaches and of course beautiful scenic photography opportunities of the wild California poppies and the beautiful rock outcroppings. The Merced River Recreation Area in Briceburg is a great place for all of these. Other family activities around Mariposa include the historic Sugar Pine Railroad that takes guests on a 4 mile narrated railway adventure traversing original logging rail beds by a steam locomotive; the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway will take you through giant sequoia groves, alpine lakes, wildflower fields and amazing views of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range; and multiple lakes for swimming, boating or fishing.

Arrived early to the host finishing up watering the exterior landscape. Walk in to a livingroom/kitchen space. Comfy chairs and couch. A small desk and table. Kitchen had all the basics needed for at least 4 people (our party size). We didn't know if the coffee machine was a pot or a pod. We bought coffee for a pot. Bring pods!Stacking washer/dryer combo which we used while there.Two bedrooms with plenty of closet space. Beds were more than adequate.We spent most of our time out on the patio either talking or eating a meal. Watched the meteor shower when it was dark. Couldn't figure out how to turn off the exterior lights. They must be on a timer.Local information was helpful having ahead of time. The grocery store in Mariposa has reusable bags that you pay for. We left ours for the next guests.The bonus is the farm animals that live across the drive. ![Exterior with patio.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba0ac28e-4601-4496-ab02-47682efb8fd4-1754179526185.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Living room/kitchen combo.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2dab3dd3-15b2-4137-95ea-588cbfb7e7ed-1754179524667.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Patio from the interior.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b5bc3fe-1e53-439c-80ec-8f20b79bb9d2-1754179528706.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bedroom.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d79505e4-b740-4d0f-8df9-dc6b309f8508-1754179498871.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laura D.

This is a very welcoming vacation rental and we would definitely book again if we find ourselves back in the area! ##### Terry P. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zlatka K. Jun 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A true gem! We opened the front door and my 19 year old son said "Wow!" It's easy to make anything appear much better in photos but not in this case. The property is clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated with not a single thing out of place. The owner provided information promptly and everything was super easy. Highly recommended. ##### Zlatka K.

Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa F. Aug 21, 2018 #### Very peaceful! Very nice and clean house. The sheep, donkeys, alpacas and pigs across the drive were a lot of fun! ##### Lisa F. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison T. Jul 11, 2018 #### Tranquil This location is so peaceful and tranquil. Wonderful home with everything you need for a short or long stay. The surrounding area is full of nature and a perfect spot to getaway and unwind. ##### Alison T. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather N. Jun 14, 2018 #### Clean & Spacious. Owners have thought of everything you would possibly need. We stayed 4 nights in early June. Accommodations were easy to find, spacious, comfortable and very clean. The owners were great hosts and have thought of everything you may possibly need. Yosemite Valley Visitor Center is about a 1 1/2 hr drive from this cabin. A little tip though...arrive at Yosemite no later then 8:30 am to get a parking spot. Pioneer Market is a great little grocery store I. Mariposa and Sweetwater in’s mariposa serves delicious deli sandwiches. ##### Heather N.
