Just stayed at Johnâs house and it was such a sweet home. It is located in a great area and has everything you need for your stay. One thing I loved was that it was dog friendly and I was able to bring my four-legged fur baby with us! His property was plenty for him to run around. Thank you John for letting us stay in your sweet home! We truly enjoyed it and hope to be back soon!
The house on Valley Oak is a nice stay for a Yosemite National Park adventure. It is located about 8 miles southeast of Mariposa and you use the Rock Arch entrance to Yosemite, about 40 miles away. The house is older, but super clean and the area is rural and quiet. The bedrooms have comfortable beds and the rooms have USB hookups which is a nice touch. The WiFi is in and out, but doable. Mariposa is a cute community with great variety of restaurants to pick from. We would recommend this stay.
The place was very nice. The kitchen was fully quipped with nearly everything you could need. It was perfect for my mother who uses a walker. The place is in the country and the front yard gets some frogs in the evening which my niece enjoyed. John and Beth have a sense of humor based on the signs around the house.
Just a short weekend when the daughter and grand kids came to visit. The house was near ours and easy to get to. The kids all loved the place and were very impressed.
We were in Mariposa to visit family for Thanksgiving. The VRBO rental was clean, spacious and quiet. We loved being in this quiet neighborhood. We appreciate being able to bring our dog with us.
This spacious and welcoming home was perfect for our short getaway. Loved spending time on the patio and gathering on the big sectional couch in the living room. Great accommodations
Had a short stay of only one night. Checked in late in the evening with no trouble at all. House was clean and stocked. Beds were comfortable. No complaints. Thanks John
My husband, our dog, and I stayed at this property for our trip to Yosemite. It was conveniently located (~1 hour to the park and ~15 minutes to Mariposa) with a lot of amenities! We really enjoyed our time here and thank John for the hospitality.
It was super near inside and beautiful. Quiet neighborhood with lots of cool amenities and local grocery stores being 30 minutes away. This house had me ready to move to Mariposa .
It's a very nice place with good surroundings.
The place has everything you need.
The host is very accommodating.
Just note that it is in a rural area and hard to find at night. There are no street lights in the entire neighborhood.
Lovely home in a great location. The EV charger is a big plus
John's house was wonderful - clean, with ample space, a beautiful gazebo, and a well stocked kitchen. The location is ideal - about 50 minute drive from Yosemite entrance, so not too close but not too far for a family with a car.
The EV charging is a big plus for folks with EVs, as it saves folks the hassle of needing to spend time charging during their trip.
John's communication was great too, with the one small nit being not explicitly calling out that there is a pet cleaning fee in the listing itself. Although it was a very reasonable price, it would have been good to know that it applies during booking time.
Looking forward to staying here again!
I'm retired from Chevron, in Richmond Ca. 25 years refining experience. I enjoy motorcycle riding with friends in the Yosemite mountains and back roads.
