I stayed at Poppy Cottage for a full month and I loved my time there. The internet and cell service was reliable at the cottage, which was really important for me since I got zero reception practically everywhere else in Mariposa County. You get a great view from the deck, and the property is spaced far enough away from the neighbors where you have absolute peace and quiet, but not so far that you feel like you’d be in trouble in case of an emergency. The main attraction for me was Yosemite National Park. It took me about an hour to hour and a half to get to the El Portal entrance, and about an hour to get to the Mariposa Grove entrance. The drive is beautiful and I really didn’t mind it, but do take the amount of time it takes to get back and forth if Yosemite is a big draw for you. I’d highly recommend the cottage, and I won’t hesitate to stay there again.
