"We've stayed there before because it's not only reasonable, but the beds are comfortable and it has all the amenities that meet our needs; microwave, coffee pot, hair dryer, fridge and a place to hang up our clothes."

Miners Inn

"The hot tub is great after a day in Yosemite. The breakfast is the best you’ll ever find at this price point. The girl working the night desk was super kind and helpful. Feels like a family business not a faceless chain."

"We had a great time! The house was very comfortable, had everything we needed. The telescope is a plus! The area is great for stargazing, even with your eyes, standing outside, you see so many stars, and the milky way. The house is 10 min from Mariposa, with great restaurants and stores, and a short 1h drive from Yosemite. We will definitely be back!"

"An absolute clean and lovely home with everything covered that you might want or need….oops except maybe a couple luggage racks. And even that was just for us old folks…so not totally necessary. Great location to Yosemite and Mariposa for lunch/dinner. Lots to do right at the house if you just want to relax and use the hot tub with a beautiful view. Great hosts! Highly recommend."
