Our group had a great stay here! Spacious house that was in an ideal location near Yosemite. Convenient and nice place to stay if you're looking to spend time in Yosemite.
We stayed here to visit Yosemite and were also happy with the proximity to restaurants and grocery. Communication with the host was great, everything was well-stocked! Highly recommend staying here.
We really enjoyed our stay. It has a lot of space to spread out and was very comfortable. It was very private and we saw deer walk across the property several times. Our kids loved it and it was a great location to stay in with easy access to Yosemite.
Super quiet and remote. Reasonably close to Yosemite. Although some of the kitchen furnishings were worn out and in need of replacement, it was clean and comfortable. Plenty of room to relax and spread out. Very poor AT&T connectivity, but WiFi saved the day. Loved having a washer and dryer!
Love the privacy of the property. Beds were comfortable, house floor plan spacious. Host was easy to communicate with. Great stay.

The property was beautiful and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. The beds were comfortable. Great communication from the host. We enjoyed our stay.
The house is amazingly large with two large bedrooms and bathrooms and large kitchen. The house is in a neighborhood away from the crowds with a large porch for morning coffee or evening dinner. The beds are comfortable and house is clean. Would recommend to all travelers!

Even better than the pictures! So quiet, close drive to the West gate of Yosemite-close to half dome, Yosemite valley, the iconic park stops. Very comfortable and spacious.
Place is very spacious and clean. Kids loved the open yard area. Very close to Yosemite. We plan on coming back. John was great and allowed early checking.
The proximity to Yosemite sold me on this home. The rural location provided a place to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. The home was spacious and comfortable and the beds were great. I would definitely recommend this home for both couples and families.
We loved this place! It was a great home base for our time in Yosemite. The home was clean and well-furnished with all we needed. And the property is quiet and in a great location. Just like the property name says, we saw deer wandering by in the evening and morning. Thanks John and Amy for hosting!
This a very large and spacious house, and the 2 acre property it sits in the middle of is gorgeous. The house is comfortably appointed, uncluttered and immaculate. A perfect place for two couples—we would rent it again with friends. Our host, John, was extremely responsive and accommodating.
Family of 5 stayed for 3 nights in August. House is lovely and spacious, with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Kitchen is well equipped, there's laundry facilities, 2 big bathrooms and everything was spotless. It
Property in great location near Yosemite (about a 45 minute to hour drive). Owner/Property Manager is communicative and the rental is comfortable and spacious. Would suggest bringing own drinking water as filtered and tap water has a bit of a metallic taste. Overall a great rental experience and we would definitely stay again!
I booked this primarily to take advantage of dark skies for Astro photography. Worked out well and was able to get some good photos. Also a short trip to Yosemite where we saw the valley and glacier point,
Very close to Yosemite and was a wonderful place to stay and only ~20 mins to get back after visitng. We enjoyed having a place to cook and relax when we got back from visiting Yosemite. Check in and check out was very easy. John, was very responsive to all the questions and had detailed instructions. Overall we enjoyed our stay in Deer Meadow Ranch.
A weekend trip to Yosemite with the family was made easy with this location. We had 5 people and two pets. Communication with the property manger was fantastic. The property is out in the wilderness’s so be prepared for mosquitoes, bats, wasps, and spiders. Inside was super spacious for all of us so would would definitely stay here again when we come back to Yosemite. The drive there was gorgeous and totaled about an hour to get fully inside the park(the entrance is 35min). Loved our stay.
Lovely spacious house that is about an hour from the Yosemite Valley but there really isn’t anything closer in the area. We enjoyed quiet morning coffees on the deck and large rooms for our family of 5. The house was very clean and easy to find. The area is remote and about 20 minutes from a few restaurants and a grocery store in Mariposa.
This was the second time we stayed at this property. John is a very good communicator and is very responsive. The house is adequate, but the proximity to Yosemite was the big appeal for us. The house was missing a few basic items and had a couple minor issues, but overall we enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful home and surroundings. The owner provided several amenities including coffee, cereal, snacks and ramen. The kitchen was immaculate and spacious. Games for all ages as well as coloring books. I plan to stay here again for our next adventure.
We had a wonderful time here. The place is very spacious with large porch and backyard to relax. It's located away from the Hwy and the neighborhood so it is very peaceful and quiet. It's extremely clean and comfortable. Check-in was very simple and host was very responsive if you have any questions. Only 45 minutes to the yosemite entrance. I would highly recommend this place.
We were looking for a get away to avoid fireworks! This home was peaceful and quiet for our dog who melts when she hears fireworks. We took this opportunity to visit Yosemite and it was within 45 min drive. The star watching around 11pm, was magical at the house. Host was responsive!
