an amazing house

The house is a complete fun. We loved the decoration and all the rooms. Indoor and outdoor areas that cater to the tastes of all ages. The owner was very attentive. There is a small convenience store and restaurant cafe just 2 miles from the house where you can even find souvenirs. We loved the experience!

Fantastic Location

Coming “home” to this house after long days at Yosimite was perfect for our family/friend vacation. We cooked meals in the kitchen and the grill was in great condition. We spent evenings in the pool and hot tub. Then would sit on the deck and star gaze. The kids gave it a 5-star and Beth was great.

3 generation family vacation

Loved the well equipped house, very comfortable. Enjoyed seeing and learning about the various animals; Beth was most informative. Rode the Sugar Pine Railroad. Some of our group went to McClure lake for water water sports. Enjoyed the History museum in Mariposa. Got the most out of the pool and hot tub and the game room with so many games available. Best place for a group gathering.

Mom's 75th Birthday

Great space. Loved the amenities. Hot tub. Grill. Decks. Fully stocked kitchen. Waking up to deer in the fields was super special. The night stars were magical. We loved cooking big meals for the family. The big couches in the living room were fun to lounge on. We were six adults and on 4 year old and it felt like we had plenty of space. Would definitely recommend. Beth is a great host and very responsive.

A great space!

Overall, the property was wonderful, and communication with the owner, Beth, was excellent! I highly recommend booking this beautiful Mariposa lodge. Our only suggestion would be to provide a few additional items, such as cleaning supplies (like a surface disinfectant), foil, plastic wrap, plastic bags, a fly swatter, extra washcloths, kitchen towels, and a drying rack. The kitchen was otherwise very well stocked, and these small additions would make an already fantastic stay even better. Regardless, our time here was truly memorable, and we will cherish it forever!
