This was the right choice! My group needed a place to stay for our half dome trip/hike and we loved it! So spacious and we all had our own rooms! I'm always crazy about having an entire kitchen as I always pack lots of food and have a particular diet and way of cooking so I was especially pleased to have a nice kitchen with everything! We wish we could have stayed an extra day to just relax and truly enjoy everything even more. But we did enjoy waking up after the big hike and enjoying breakfast on the back patio before we had to pack up and leave. Everything was very comfortable and in tip top shape. The host was especially kind and always responded to my questions very quickly and was very reliable. I would highly recommend this spot! Also... loved that there are lots of deer nearby the property that we got to see while driving.

Caveat: I do not give five stars unless warranted. Not everyone gets a trophy. Excellent home for your Yosemite adventures. Relatively close to the park, and only about five miles to Mariposa. The house was tidy, clean, and well appointed. The back deck is a great place to relax with a drink after a day at Yosemite. We found the rental a private place to enjoy the golden California sunsets. We also saw a few turkeys, deer, and a coyote. Our dog loved being on watch from the deck.

The kitchen facilities were not fully functioning- the oven and stove in particular - and there were not many consumables (no garbage bags, no laundry detergent, etc). There also was an infestation of ants in the kitchen that got into all of our dry food. The rest of the property was fine, but the kitchen was basically unusable for our group, unfortunately. We did love the hot tub and the views from the backyard!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The pictures and accommodations were just as described and enjoyable. Our family loved the nature, outdoor games, and hot tub. We drove to Yosemite and thought the drive was easy. Mariposa is a cute little town. The nature outside was wonderful with deer and a great view. I was unaware the property was on gravel. The few things we have to critique were many of the dishes we used were dirty. The towels did not smell good. The trash bin to drop trash in at check out was disgusting and had not been picked up in a long time. There was barely room for our trash, there were maggots on the bin, and the smell was terrible.

Great house for a trip to Yosemite

Nice house in a very quiet rural neighborhood. We enjoyed grilling on the deck and soaking in the hot tub under the starlight. The house is about 10-15 minutes to the highway on gravel and paved windy roads and about 1 hour to the Yosemite south entrance.

The retreat was very nice spacious and very well equipped for our stay. It took us about 1 1/4 to get to Yosemite valley and 1hour to Mariposa grove. The house was a little more remotely located than we expected. However we did enjoy the town of Mariposa 15 min away. Nice dining options and a good grocery.

The house is in a nice and remote area. It is great to have morning coffee on the back deck and listen to all the peacefulness of nature. Same with looking at the stars at night of the back deck. The beds are quite comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms are in very good condition. My group very much enjoyed their stay at Peter's place! Yosemite is an easy drive that can take from 45 minutes to an hour during our stay (late May)!
