It is about 35 minutes from the west entrance of the park. The kitchen was well stocked. The Pioneer market is 10 minutes away so we cooked in dinner for 2 nights. The prices at Pioneer Market were very reasonable for a vacation town. It was great to have a washer and dryer and laundry detergent was provided. The common spaces were very spacious and the cabin itself was charming. The bathrooms have a bit of an odd setup, but has everything you need. The host was very responsive. Would definitely stay here again if we visit Yosemite. ##### Alisa P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie B.

They loved the roomy, clean and cozy cabin which was well located for their Yosemite adventures. This cabin made all the difference in how they enjoyed the park.

The house is directly located at the 140 leading into Yosemite, so perfect for visits into the NP, the traffic is a bit noisy in the night and morning.

Comfortable for the 5 adults on our trip.4\. Convenient to stores and restaurants.5\. Excellent access to WiFi and cable.6\. Host was always accessible and provided useful information prior to our trip.7\. Interior of the building was neat and clean.Bad Points1\. Interior of property is in need of updating and is not represented well by the pictures online.2.Landscaping of the lot was not well kept and was in need of maintenance.3\. Surrounding areas did not present themselves well.Summary.This property fit our needs well because we were gone early and came back later in the day. Don't expect the property to look identical to the pictures online but as stated, it fit our needs very well. The host is a great asset to this property. Always responds and provides important information on the local area. ##### Robert B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa W.

My husband won permits to hike Half Dome and we invited some friends to join us for the long weekend. This location was perfect! It was close to a small grocery and town so we could enjoy access to cook food at the house and try some new restaurants while not being so far from the park that we had to be awake at a truly horrific hour to get started. The house was clean, had plenty of space, was cozy (we all enjoyed relaxing after the hike) and all six of us had decent privacy/space so we weren't tripping over each other. It was amazing to have the full kitchen and plenty of comfortable spots to sit. Bed were comfortable, which anyone who has travelled a decent amount can attest, that is not always a guarantee. The owner was perfectly pleasant to chat with and provided all the necessary information and granted us privacy as well. We will gladly be staying here in the future on our next adventure to the park with friends. ##### Lisa W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Steve S. May 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short Stay Rustic, huge place, well appointed. Plenty of room for 3 adult couples or a huge family. Beds were comfortable. Could use some better pillows, but they we not bad. House is very close to the main highway, so lots of road noise well into the evening. This is a very wild area, in terms of outdoors. That said, the outside area around the home is poorly manicured, though that didn't stop us from enjoying it and the beautiful crystal-clear stream running thru the back area. The place is about a 5-minute drive back to Mariposa, that has plenty of cool dining options. It's about an hour drive to Yosemite Valley, mostly along the Merced River, which is amazing. In general, we felt we made a good choice staying here and would stay again. ##### Steve S. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Annabelle H. Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Far below expectations We stayed 15 minutes before deciding to leave and get a hotel. We found the location and property very depressing…not at all what we were expecting. If you are just looking for someplace to rest your head at night then setting out all day long, then this may be the place for you. But if you are expecting to enjoy some time sitting outside, relaxing and enjoying the view then I’d suggest looking elsewhere. I was unable to get into the VRBO app to cancel the reservation but a refund would only have been given if someone else had rented (highly unlikely at the last minute) Inside the house appeared clean with a well supplied kitchen and the owners were easy to get in touch with. Just a shabby depressing environment. ##### Annabelle H.
