Cozy Quiet Cottage in the woods, pet friendly

CraigRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Absolutely beautiful home that goes above and beyond with its thoughtful amenities. It’s modern, yet incredibly cozy and welcoming. We loved the upstairs loft—it looked so inviting we had to try it out for a night, and it did not disappoint! The mats were super comfy and easily folded back into a sofa during the day. The collection of board games and books was a perfect touch after long hikes in Yosemite. When we weren’t in the loft, we slept in the ultra-soft king-size bed, which came with more than enough pillows and blankets for a warm, restful night. The home stayed perfectly cool thanks to the three A/C vents in the living room, loft, and bedroom. The bathroom was well-stocked with all the essentials, plus thoughtful extras like Q-tips and bath salts—such a treat after a day on the trails! While we didn’t get a chance to use the outdoor grill and seating area, it looked like the perfect spot to unwind. Bonus: we saw deer roaming nearby—magical! Would definitely stay again!

Giddy up to Yosemite

WillRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The accommodation was really great. We were concerned that we may have been too far away from Yosemite initially, but the drive from here in Mariposa was very easy and there were hardly any other cars around. The place itself is stunning, has a lovely alpine feel to it and provides all of the amenities anyone would require. The hosts provided all the necessary information well in advance of our arrival but equally left us to ourselves the whole time which was really appreciated. Would definitely recommend to others.

Tiny home ~ views/hot tub/pool!

AnaRating, 5 stars4 days ago

What a wonderful little spot! The tiny home was very thoughtfully laid out, comfortable and adorable. the setting could not be better; quiet, private, close to restaurants, activities and of course - Yosemite. The outdoor area really shines on this property. Gorgeous view to enjoy. We used the hot tub and fireplace, both were really easy to operate and shut down. It really set this place apart for us. Also- really comfortable bed! 10/10 Highly recommend!

A spacious bathroom features dual sinks set within a sleek countertop. Two large mirrors enhance the light, while a subtle flower arrangement adds a touch of elegance. A doorway leads to a bright open area, visible in the background through curtains.

The house is very clean and beautiful. Perfect if you want to be in a quiet space, sorrounded by nature. There is a little bit of a drive to get to supermarkets and gas stations. Other than that, very beautiful, the house had all the commodities listed. What I l loved the most, the house is pet friendly and I was able to bring my dogs.

LuxeYosemiteRetreat | Spa+Sauna+Lake-Mtn Views

KevinRating, 5 starstoday

This stay exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how beautifully designed and immaculately clean everything was. The photos honestly don’t do it justice—the space felt like something out of a boutique hotel, but with all the warmth and comfort of a home. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the plush bedding and high-end toiletries to the fully stocked kitchen and ambient lighting. We especially loved the private patio (perfect for morning coffee!) and how peaceful and quiet the area was. We spent a lot of time out here at the sauna, hot tub, fire-pit and grilling! Our host was incredibly responsive, gracious, and helpful throughout the stay—truly top-tier hospitality. It’s rare to find a place that feels this luxurious yet so welcoming. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back and are already recommending it to friends and family. 10/10—an unforgettable experience!
