Cottage vacation rentals in Madera County

We had an amazing stay! The place was clean, very well maintained, and perfect for a group of friends. It came with so many great amenities — from the hot tub to a game room with a couple of arcade games and a pool table — which made our stay even more enjoyable. Jennifer was very responsive and provided clear instructions for both check-in and check-out, which made everything super easy. Honestly, the place is even better than the pictures — the backyard is beautiful and the kitchen is huge and had everything we needed for a 2-day stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing place that's a short drive from Yosemite's south entrance.

great place, the locations is amazing and close to alot to walk to. the place it's self is fantastic. the only downside is the kitchen doesnt have any cooking stuff just a microwave but the restaurants are all around it and east to walk to. definitely worth it.

This place was perfect for our Anniversary get away! We were able to spend a day at Yosemite riding E-bikes and spend the next day on the lake. We received a discount to rent a boat because of our host and enjoyed the hot tub at the end of each day! There are many restaurants within walking distance, a grocery store, and a fun friendly bar close by. We will definitely be back!

We loved the place it’s really beautiful and cozy, we literally felt like home! Definetly recommend it for people who are looking for a beautiful, calm place to stay

This place is absolutely fabulous with a lake view! We were greeted by Ben, who was wonderful and gave us the white glove walk through of the unit and the areas. The location is the best. It’s within 2 min walk of everything you need (grocery store, souvenir shop, restaurants, bar). The locals here are extremely friendly. The unit is equipped with a fireplace and hot tub, great for nighttime hangouts. Enjoy your cup of coffee on the front porch. Tom, the owner, is so impressive, he is a local for 30+ year building his business which includes this Airbnb and boat rentals and restaurants/bars. Helping to support the community and hiring incredible people to run it all. Highly recommend you rent a boat if you stay her, you get 10% off. We loved it so much, we are already planning our next trip here!

Best cabin for you and your family!! We felt right at home and possibly the most perfect Christmas vibes! The host was extremely friendly and very responsive. We cannot wait to be back!

My tiny family (3 of us in total) had a lovely time at the “cute green cabin!” We spent a day in Yosemite and another day exploring Bass lake (Forks resort burger is a must!) Every night we enjoyed some time in the hot tub and we couldn’t get over how quiet the neighborhood was! We will be recommending this gem to all our friends!!

Fantastic place! We have been to Bass Lake a few times prior but this was the first time at Tom’s and we loved it. So easy to walk to the restaurants/bar/grocery store or down to the water. Room was very clean and had everything we needed. Hot tub was great! Definitely booking again for another trip to the lake. Cant wait to come back.

This was exactly what we were looking for to spend Thanksgiving! Peaceful place with an amazing yard. We went outside at night to hangout and stare at the stars.

We had a wonderful stay at Kelly’s place. The space was clean, well-organized, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The surrounding area was peaceful and quiet. It’s about 15-20 minutes drive to downtown Mariposa. While I imagine most people stay here to visit Yosemite, just like we did, be prepared for a fair amount of driving back and forth. That said, it was about what we expected, and the drive was scenic and manageable. The home has one AC unit in the living room that cools the space very effectively, though it is a bit loud. Each bedroom has a portable fan, which kept us comfortable during our stay— but I’m not sure how hot it gets at night in Mariposa during the peak of summer. Kelly provided clear and detailed instructions before our arrival, so everything went smoothly and we didn’t need to reach out during our stay. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would recommend it for anyone looking for a calm, well-equipped base near Yosemite.

Good place for those who love the nature. The host responds to our requests very quickly

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!

Loved the property. Very peaceful. The best part was walking around in the morning, listening to bird song (identified 30 species) and enjoying a cup of coffee.

Great comfortable stay. Carolyn and Tchukon are amazing hosts. They were really considerate when we had a last minute ask during our checkout as well. 😊

Lovely house, perfect for the teams needs while we were on a job assignment.

Great location . Was able to visit both lakes Millerton and shaver lake . Shaver lake was breath taking . Winding roads but worth it . 15 mins to nearest grocery store, pharmacy and restaurant right next door! Great fenced in area for my fur babies. Quiet and spacious inside ! With AC and fans if necessary.

Very beautiful place to stay. The cottage very well maintained and has the amenities required. We were 3 people and we could easily accommodate. You might find the space a bit smaller but it wlhas everything required for your stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and tidy, with a great view of the trees. The spacious kitchen allowed us to prep the Thanksgiving food with ease. We hope to make this a family tradition! Highly recommend this cabin!

Great home, lots of room/spacious. Be prepared for about 35 minute drive to Kings Canyon park entrance due to mountain road driving.

We really enjoyed our stay; the house was clean and had everything we needed. We saw miniature donkeys, goats, water buffalo, the peacock, and the cat and dog. Wade was kind enough to offer us a tour of their property. Thank you!

Paul’s place was clean and had a nice layout for the entire family to enjoy. The house is well off the beaten path which was welcome. Having family in the area I will likely reach out to Paul for a future stay as well.

Such a lovely cottage and surrounding area. Will come here again when in the area. Friendly owners making everything easy.

Glen and Theresa have offered a little piece of paradise to weary travelers, and this weary traveler loved it! My wife and I had a wonderful stay in their peaceful neighborhood; the only issue I ended up having is that my wife now wants to get a pair of mini donkeys 🙄... Frosty and Shadow (Glen & Theresa's mini donkeys) were very cute, and enjoyed many "donkey snacks" that were available by the front door. This is the perfect place for any couple or family in town to enjoy Yosemite!

The Red Barn Inn was a fabulous little getaway just outside of town. A great place that feels at home with gorgeous scenery and lush greenery at every turn. John was very responsive in messaging and made us feel welcome. I would highly recommend the Red Barn Inn if you ever stay in Mariposa. We definitely will book again!
