Wonderful mountain time
We were in Mariposa to visit family for Thanksgiving. The VRBO rental was clean, spacious and quiet. We loved being in this quiet neighborhood. We appreciate being able to bring our dog with us.

Lovely home in a great location. The EV charger is a big plus
John's house was wonderful - clean, with ample space, a beautiful gazebo, and a well stocked kitchen. The location is ideal - about 50 minute drive from Yosemite entrance, so not too close but not too far for a family with a car. The EV charging is a big plus for folks with EVs, as it saves folks the hassle of needing to spend time charging during their trip. John's communication was great too, with the one small nit being not explicitly calling out that there is a pet cleaning fee in the listing itself. Although it was a very reasonable price, it would have been good to know that it applies during booking time. Looking forward to staying here again!

Spacious and quiet in a beautiful area
The kitchen was stocked really well with utensils and pans etc and the gas stove and outdoor grill so you could cook really proper meals. We loved sitting at the dinner table for meals. The towels were really nice and the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. There is a nice spacious pantry and we appreciated there being a styrofoam cooler that we could use in our days trips to Yosemite. days and there was a styrofoam cooler we could use for our days trips to Yosemite.

It's a very nice place with good surroundings. The place has everything you need. The host is very accommodating. Just note that it is in a rural area and hard to find at night. There are no street lights in the entire neighborhood.

Property is in very great condition. It has EV charging so if you are traveling with Teslas then you can get it charged too. Plenty of room is available for kids to play. Downtown is not that far; it's drivable distance. Same is for Yosemite too. Only problem we had was early checkout. 10am checkout is just too early especially if you are traveling with kids. Otherwise everything is great. Make sure that you have access code for the property before you reach the property. We had no cellular connection so had to contact neighbors to help us call owner. Verizon has connectivity (T Mobile doesn't. Not sure about Att).

Nice place about an hour from yosemite
This is a big spacious property with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The layout was great with all the bedrooms on 1 side and kitchen/washer/dryer on the other and the living dining in the middle. There is also a nice gazebo outside. We used the functional fireplace that was well stocked with wood starters just for kicks in addition to the sufficient gas/electric heating. We had some issues with the hot water initially running brown. This was also the case for the bathroom sinks and showers as well but they ran clear after running for a few minutes. The mattress though comfortable did not have great motion isolation. If you are not using a mattress, I would recommend sleeping separately for light sleepers. The floor wasn't super clean but we carried slippers so did not have any issues. The living room has an elaborate audio setup with 4 ceiling speakers in addition to main channel and subwoofer. The kitchen had all the essentials and we cooked our meals with ingredients that we carried with us. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend if you are looking for a nice secluded stay close to the park.

Nice house
We enjoyed our stay. The layout of the house was great for hanging out with friends for a long rainy weekend over New Years. We were plenty warm and cozy during the big storms. Nice neighborhood out in the country but close enough to town. Nothing fancy, but plenty comfortable!
