We had a wonderful stay. Our family was visiting Yosimite and after picking Mariposa as a base to stay in, the Mariposa Butterfly turned out to be a very comfortable and quaint place to stay. Irene prepared the house early, settling in was smooth, and the place was in a calm quiet area. Comfortable beds, wide coffee selection, plus live turkeys and deers spotted on the surrounding land a fun bonus! To top it all off, Irene went out of her way to organize for a left behind laptop to be forwarded on to our next destination. Highly recommended stay if visiting the Sierra foothills, or Yosimite.

Great Place to Stay for Yosemite Visit

We had a great time staying here for our 5-day trip to visit Yosemite. This 2BR apartment was perfect for our group of 4 adults, A great retreat to return to after long days of hiking in the park. The location was good as there were several good restaurants in Mariposa and we were about 45 minutes away from Yosemite Valley. We had a great time and will definitely stay here again the next time we come to the area. Irene was a great host.

Nice apartment in Mariposa

We chose to stay in Mariposa during our visit to Yosemite. This apartment was located close to the highway to the park and to restaurants and grocery stores in town. The kitchen was well-equipped, having everything we needed to make our own meals. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend it for anyone who doesn't mind being a little further away from the park.

Easy to find, quick access to town and highways, all amenities you'll need. Might want to bring your own pillow. The ones at the house are a little too big (for me). Wildlife in the property in back is fun to watch!

Close to enough Yosemite for the price

Apartment was a lot bigger than we needed just being my husband and I, but well worth the money. 2 bedrooms, 1 queen bed and 2 twin with a reclining couch and chair this could easily sleep 6-7 ppl comfortably. The wildlife (deer) in the area were fun to watch. Everything we needed was already there.

Perfect home base for Yosemite

The butterfly apartment was indeed exceptional! Very clean and well cared for and as good a location as can be expected if you’re not in the park. Nice extra touches include portable a/c units in every room (a portable heater for main room for winter), both DIRECTV sat tv and streaming smart tv, and an Avalon water system that spits out filtered hot, cool, or cold water. The WiFi worked well. Furniture was comfy for hanging out. Nice quiet area just past a small town hospital. Nearby Pioneer Market was a full service supermarket and had a food truck with delicious authentic Mexican food (lengua yum!!!!). It was a perfect home base for our Yosemite visit. Thanks, Irene!
