Used this as our home base while exploring Yosemite. Peaceful location, but still close enough to town to be convenient. Worked great for our family of 4!

4th of July weekend stay
We had a great time at this VRBO home. It was spacious, clean, kitchen was fully stocked, and the wifi worked well. This VRBO home is a 1.5 hour drive from 3 parts of Yosemite National Park - Valley Village, Glacier Point, and Mariposa Grove. During non-peak weekend, it may take less than 1.5 hours. This VRBO home is a 10 min drive from Mariposa which has cute cafes, restaurants, and groceries stores.

Yosemite visit
At 45 minutes from the el Portal gate, this was a perfect place to stay when all the lodgings closer to Yosemite were full. The house was clean and spacious, with lots of closet space, a hot tub,an exceptional kitchen, and deer in the yard. Better bedding would have made it perfect.

Mariposa Diamond!
Great home in beautiful area. All the comforts! 2 bedrooms each with a bathroom makes an en-suite. Great location & easy to get to Yosemite. WiFi worked with no issues. Hot tub was great after a day in the park! Owners were very responsive when I had a question. Enjoy

Beautiful House in the wildness of Mariposa
The house is very well located near the small town of Mariposa and near the road to the entrance of Yosemite National Park. The house fits up to six people and we used it in a group of five. One shower and toilet is limited to one room with a sink in the room itself. The other 4 guests need to share one bathroom.
The A/C is perfect. The outside deck needs a little upgrade. Also the ice cube machine was not working but the owner said it will be replaced.
I would always recommend this place even though the master bedroom mattress was far too soft for us. But this is individual taste.

Nice VRBO Close to Yosemite Valley
We had a nice stay and was not too far from Yosemite Valley. This cabin was better than I was expecting. It's big and had vaulted ceilings. We used the hot tub each night after a day of strenuous hiking up mountains. We also used the washer and dryer. The futon/pull-out couch in the living room was extremely comfortable. (I did not know that made high quality pull-out beds like that!) It was very comfy. The bed/mattress in the main bedroom was not comfortable, however. That would be my only complaint. It felt like an air mattress and whoever weighed more, sank that side of the bed. Other than that, we had a great stay! I'd stay here again.

Great location, but needs some updating
The location is perfect if visiting Yosemite. The town of Mariposa was so nice and some nice places to eat & shop. The home has a couple of skylights, one in particular in one of the bedrooms which makes it very hard to sleep past 5:45am. The hot tub did not work. It was hot just no bubbles. The coffee maker takes about an hour to make a pot of coffee and the home is in need of extra blankets. The mattress in the skylight room was not very comfortable & caused both people to roll towards the middle while sleeping in it. The mosquitoes were pretty bad so really couldn’t enjoy the outdoor deck.
We loved the remote feel of the home.

Beautiful comfortable retreat
We are a traveling trio of 2 sisters and 1 lifelong friend -- we have done cruises and national parks and interesting cities together. We were in the area to visit Yosemite and wanted a nice comfortable place to stay. This Oaks and Pines cabin was perfect, complete with the promised "meandering deer". In fact one meandered right up to the back deck to munch on a plant. LOL
The cabin was comfortable, kitchen stocked with staples -- close to Mariposa with nice grocery and several good places to eat.
Our only issue was a malfunction on the Amazon Fire stick, called Alex and Kathleen and was immediately taken care of by their son. ;-)
If you want a quite, beautiful retreat this is your place -- highly recommed.

Winter’s stay
This is our third stay at this comfortable cabin, in a quiet wooded hillside. One hour’s drive to Yosemite Valley (El Portal entrance). Nice amenities - hot tub, wood burning fireplace (wood stove), kitchen that opens to the dining and living area, high ceilings. Great for a cozy winter stay! Great communication with the host.

Nice clean house
It is a quite neighborhood. The house is clean and had all the essential items for cooking. We saw a deer in the night. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Awesome place! In the middle of no were but perfect for visiting Yosemite. The kitchen is equipped with most everything, which is what we want - we don't care to eat out while on vacation and hiking. The deck needs some maintenance but other than that it was clean and comfortable. I would stay here again if we are ever in the area.
We LOVED this property!! My kids didn’t want to leave. It had everything you could want!! Cozy beds great kitchen! A lot of room!! Very clean! It was great having laundry after long hikes at Yosemite. Yosemite is about a 45 minute drive but it wasn’t bad. Grocery store was close. I highly recommend! It was very peaceful!!

Yosemite Visit
Our family stayed in the property as a base for visiting Yosemite. Excellent property and great location to do day trips to the park, which was about an hour to Yosemite Valley. We enjoyed the seclusion of the home but also were able to go into Mariposa to eat at some excellent restaurants. Very friendly and responsive hosts. Highly recommend this property.

Pretty amazing remote place. Quiet. The only questionable aspect of the property was the bedroom.
Difficult to sleep in with a skylight over the bed. Also, the bed had a mattress topper that made it too soft for our liking.Responsive host.
