Highway 140 continues through Mariposa along the scenic Merced river to the west entrance of Yosemite National Park, the only all weather route into Yosemite and the closest entrance to the valley floor loop. 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.

It was fun watching the alpacas, sheep, donkeys and a pig. I’m a photographer, so I drove up Hornitos Road to the little town of Hornitos, which is full of CA history. The proprietor of the gift shop in town took the time to tell me all about Hornitos and it’s history. We went into the Sugar Pine Cafe in the town of Mariposa, which was worth the wait to get in for breakfast. You want to come with plenty of groceries because otherwise it’s a bit of a drive to get something to cook. Overall it was a great place. ##### Sandi T O.

Good spacious house in quiet neighborhood, everything is there, even a grill on a backyard. Very greenery and scenic. No creek access for sake. But animals are something, ask host to get you some of their food and feed them; pony is dominating there.Even TV is newer (LED) than on pictures.Its about 1h drive to Yosemite entrance which we assumed acceptable. Beware of speedtraps, it was there every day on hwy.We would use 2nd bathroom with 3 kids, its not listed as amenity but its there locked.I'm not fan of signs in house - don't take this or that out of house, its assumed and covered by VRBO. It breaks cozy feeling of home away from home. Also door hinges would use some lube.I liked Jason's communication style, short and informative, no water in messaging. ##### Andrey B.

There are a few units on this property, as well as the owner's home, but there is plenty of space so it never felt crowded. The owner was very responsive and I really enjoyed my stay here. ##### Tom K.

Would stay again the next time we visit Yosemite. ##### Connie J.

The ranch is 15 minutes west of Mariposa and a little over an hour to the entrance to Yosemite. We enjoyed the peace and quiet along with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Our stay was in April and the grounds were green and beautiful during the springtime. The beds were firm and comfortable, just to our liking. We took advantage of the kitchen and cooking supplies to prepare a few meals. We also used the BBQ for hot dogs and used the remaining coals to make smores...a rare treat for us. On and around the property you will see and hear wild turkeys, frogs and crickets at night, neighboring cattle, and the ranch's own farm animals. If you enjoy animals this a great place to stay. If you ask the property manager you may be able to arrange the opportunity to help feed the Alpacas, mini donkeys, pigs, goats, and sheep. This was a highlight for my wife...she loved it! The property manager Jason was very responsive and helpful. ##### Tim S. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole S. 7 Nov 2018 #### Just what we were looking for! A beautifully maintained property, quiet country setting, so clean! Our family members each raved about the beautiful home, the thoughtfulness of the property owners and the amazing animals nearby! I loved reading in the morning on the porch, with a cup of coffee and watching the various animals do their morning things. The home was spacious and set up so each room had plenty of seating and the kitchen had almost every thing you can imagine... I had brought a wine opener, just in case, but they're was one stocked there already! We would reccomend staying here and if the opportunity arises we'd love to visit again! ##### Nicole S.
