Cute House
We stayed at the house when we visited Yosemite National Park. We had four kids with us and they enjoyed the game area upstairs, the space outside to run around in the mornings and loved looking at the windows to search for deer or bears. The house had plenty of room, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked for the eight of us for cooking dinner and breakfast. We enjoyed our stay here and would consider staying again when we visit Yosemite.

Great stay with only one problem for us
This property is gorgeous, very clean, has lots of things we think should be fairly standard in a rental, and as a bonus, has so much history around it. We were able to easily find the coffee pot and a coffee grinder. The refrigerator is nice and big. The pantry has a few staples like salt & pepper, sugar, baking soda, cooking oil, etc. There's every pot, pan, dish, and glass you could need for a party of 8. We rented it for that many but were only a party of 4 in the end. It's definitely hot in Mariposa so dress accordingly. The property is perfect for going on a hike or sitting on the deck watching the sunset. Watch out for stickers on your clothes. One of my sons went on a very short hike and came back with his jeans and shoes covered in them. The only problem we had was the internet. I made sure when researching where to stay, that it was a place that mentioned internet access. It said High speed WiFi. And indeed it was high speed... when it worked. The four of us were constantly connected/disconnected every couple of minutes. Sadly, the only consistent thing about the internet was the inconsistency. If you require internet, you might want to make sure that's fixed if you want to stay here. If you're coming to relax and get away from technology, this is a great place to stay. It was a great stay overall and we're happy we picked this area for our summer vacation.

Wonderful choice
This property is kept extremely well, very clean with everything possibly needed for a relaxing vacation. We enjoyed the history of the property, having once been a stagecoach stop and the renovations and modern conveniences. Plenty of room for us and our four kids. Good location for beauiful drives to and hikes in Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. The price of groceries in the area was also much more reasonable compared to much of California. Visiting nearby historic truckee was also interesting.

Tip Top Stay
The facility was perfect for our group. Everyone had an excellent time enjoying the peace and beauty of the area. The house was well appointed, and the history of the old stagecoach stop interesting. I recommend this as a lovely Mariposa getaway.

What a beautiful spot!
We loved our stay! We came to Yosemite to elope and stayed 3 nights at the Inn. It was like staying in our own little museum! The place was so clean and comfortable and was well equipped with everything we needed. The property was so quiet and easy to get to, and the views were spectacular! We will definitely stay here again for an anniversary someday! Thank you for making our elopement so special!

Great Stay
This was a perfect location to visit Yosemite NP via 140 or 41. The inn felt like home. It had everything we needed to cook our meals and relax. The property had trails to amazing views not to mention the sunsets from the inn. It was perfect for a family with two teens.

Charming
The remodeled Stagecoach Inn was perfect for my family. The pictures on the website were spot on. We each had our own space but there was plenty of sitting areas to be together. The kitchen was stocked with more than enough cooking and serving pieces. We would definitely return.

Brother and Sister trip
We truly enjoyed staying at Tip Top Inn. It is not only a great place to stay but be sure and be there when it is time for a sunset. It is gorgeous. The kitchen has everything you need, including spices. So don't go shopping until you check out the spice cabinet. The house is an easy drive to Yosemite and would definitely recommend Tip Top Inn to friends and family.
