A lovely scenic drive into Yosemite National Park. Located in between the west gate and south gate. Just 33.9 miles to the park entrance and 45 miles to the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center from the west gate.

Mariposa, its name is Spanish for butterfly, after the flocks of monarchs seen overwintering there by early explorers. The town of Mariposa, first settled in 1849, is the southernmost in the Gold Rush chain of towns. The streets follow the original street grid laid out by John C. Fremont in 1850. Several disastrous early fires convinced settlers to rebuild with stone, brick and adobe. Consequently, many of today's existing structures in the historic downtown had been built by the late eighteen fifties, with most of the remaining ones completed by nineteen hundred. Because they have always been in use, the old buildings haven't had to be restored or recreated.

Change has come gracefully to Mariposa. Mariposa has retained the small town charm of a bygone era, so you won't see strip malls or chain stores, and Mariposa remains one of a handful of California towns without a stop light.

Our property is a 6 minute drive into the historic town of Mariposa. You'll find a full service grocery store, a health food store, bars, ice cream shop, restaurants & diners, a museum, retail shops, wine shops, olive oil tasting room and even a community park and public pool. So much to explore in Mariposa!

    The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a quick getaway to Yosemite. We thoroughly enjoyed our evenings on the patio watching the sunset over the mountains. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Communication with the owners was fast and courteous- we would definitely stay here again. I absolutely loved the tranquil location!

    We've had this trip booked for months and we're so very much looking forward to it. We arrived very late at night and were so excited to see the lovely hand written note, fresh flowers, and best of all... coffee, creamer & sugar for our morning coffee! The home is inviting, comfortable and just as shown in the photos. We spent our days exploring Yosemite and the evenings cooking dinner on the grill and watching the sunset over the mountains. Thank you, Anh for providing us a lovely, welcoming place to call home. And... we loved watching the deer and turkeys each day! It was wonderful!

    Beautiful home, beautiful views. Owner very kind. Sent communication about needing a Yosemite pass way in advance, so we could get one. We were worried about fires, he kept in contract and they were out and we had great time hiking Yosemite. Don’t just hike the valley, take time to go up and see tenanya lake, may lake and other sites on Tiiga road. House had everything for cooking. All pans, spices. Beds very comfortable, sheets amazing. Even in the ridiculous heat the hot tub was great to come back to.

    This home is amazing! The great room and kitchen are so inviting when you open the door you realize you made the right choice! The view out the back is incredible, the hot tub is awesome and the fire pit was wonderful. Everything is modern but country chic, perfect for the area. The location was an easy hour drive to Yosemite Valley. We loved the privacy and the flock of wild turkeys that visited daily. Anh put a lot of thought into this home, wireless chargers on the night stands, portable fans in each bedroom (to drown out the silence)Lol. I could go on and on but needless to say we'll be back.

    This house was lovely. Larger than it appears in the listing. Views from back patio are wonderful. Well stocked kitchen. Nice decor. Good location. We took the public transit but into Yosemite, which was the best call as we couldn't get park passes. Learned that you don't need one if you take the bus.
