Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### joleigh c. 2 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Place to Stay when planning to go to Yosemite We stayed here on the Easter weekend & we were really grateful coz the host is gracious & very accommodating. From the time I booked her property she was very prompt to answer my questions & even asked how we would to do our sleeping arrangements. We were a group of 11 persons & we this place sleeps 12. It’s also pet friendly so it’s the best place to stay for a weekend getaway or if you want to go to Yosemite. This beautiful property is complete with everything you will need. Rebecca, the host made sure the house is prepared, from the free water bottles, cooking oil, snacks/chips/popcorn that we can eat to even preparing Easter eggs for my daughter The wifi signal is very strong & they even have Netflix in every room too. They even installed emergency lights also. There is also a bbq grill that you can use. They also have a small pool table & other games for kids. There is even a washer & dryer that you can use too If we didn’t have originalplans to go to Yosemite, we would have just stayed inside & enjoyed all the amenities there. We really enjoyed our stay here & would love to be back next time. We highly recommend staying in this lovely Mariposa home ##### joleigh c.
