This was the perfect place to stay for our family vacation in Yosemite. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the hot tub was so nice to get into at the end of those days with long hikes. From the house to Yosemite was less than an hour and it was a pretty drive. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to be back one day!
Spent a week there while visiting Yosemite NP. The house was a good size for our group of 4 adults. Kitchen has lots of storage and countertop space for preparing meals. We enjoyed the views from the large deck. The covered parking space was good to keep our car cool on the hot days.
Nice property with great views. The hosts were easy to communicate with and we really enjoyed our stay! Mariposa is very close by and a great little town. This property was a great location for our hiking trip.
The house was just right for our large family. Mariposa is close by for essentials, some cute shops and good restaurants. The drive to Yosemite is beautiful! Host was great with communication and information about the area.
A great place to stay with plenty of room, convenient location and awesome view!
My wife and I took our family of four boys and a girlfriend to stay for two nights so we could be close to Yosemite. We found the home warm and inviting, with plenty of room, a well stocked kitchen with all the right utensils and cookware. It was very clean and had plenty of pillows and blankets for everyone. The hot tub was amazing, and the view from the deck at night under the stars was breathtaking. Mariposa is just a short drive away with great restaurants and a grocery store to meet our needs. Thank you!
We most enjoyed staying at Mariposa Ridge Retreat. The house is very clean, spacious and cosy. We most recommend it to any family wanting to discover Yosemite National Park. Thank you !
Perfect for our 3 generation family time at Yosemite
Mariposa Ridge Retreat was the perfect setting for our family. Very convenient to glorious Yosemite and wonderful to come back to at the end of the day. We loved the view, the deck and the hot tub. We grilled out and ate breakfast in and the kitchen met all our needs. The 13 and 9 yr. old explored the property and looked for wild animals. One family member did see a fox early one morning. House was very clean and master bath is amazing. We highly recommend this property. I should also mention it was very quiet. No trucks were heard!
Mariposa Ridge Retreat was wonderful. Quiet, clean, very nicely set up and the hot tub was my husband's favorite part! He was in it 3 times a day at least. We made day trips into Yosemite National Park everyday, so the location was perfect. An excellent retreat for sure.

While the property is out in the country, it was easy to find and a close drive to Mariposa. We were impressed with the tourist information center and the staff's knowledge of Yosemite Park. The town of Mariposa is charming with a great grocery store with good steaks and seafood in the butcher shop. The house was comfortable and spacious. While it was only my husband and me this time, there were two additional bedrooms with 3 queen beds. 8 people would be very comfortable. We enjoyed cooking out on the deck. It was too cold to use the hot tub, but it was certainly inviting. Glad there was a big soaker tub in the master bath! A large picture window in the living room looked over the valley and up the snow capped mountains in the distance. Red tail hawks sailed the updrafts and a chipmunk played on the deck. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.
My husband and I had a great time at Mariposa Ridge Retreat. The house was clean and spacious. The hot tub was great and got very hot! If you are looking for a nice, quiet getaway, this could be your place. The owners were very quick to respond if you had a question. However, my one complaint is that I emailed about 2 weeks after our visit to inquire about how we were to get our $100 refundable deposit, and I was told to keep an eye out in the mail as they send a check. It is not one month after our stay, and I have not received the refund. I emailed one more time to ask if it had been mailed or when to expect it to be mailed, and the only response I got was the same as before "keep an eye out for a check in the mail". They did not answer my question on WHEN it was/will be sent. I would have thought that a refundable deposit would have been returned well before an entire month of your visit. So, we're still "keeping our eye out" and hope it comes soon!
My husband and I stayed here for four nights with two other couples and had a wonderful time! The home was clean, well stocked, beds comfortable and the view from the back deck was amazing. Mariposa Ridge is very private and the nights were very quiet and restful. The drive to Yosemite was about 45 minutes but the scenery along the way was well worth seeing. The town of Mariposa was charming and there are several wonderful restaurants and shops. All in all we had a great time staying here and I would recommend this rental to anyone!
My family and I had a great stay at this lovely home. It was about an hour drive to Yosemite and the drive is beautiful! The house was clean and comfortable and came with everything we needed. The hot tub was great after long days hiking in Yosemite. Had a good internet connection and Dish TV too. Loved watching the sun rise on the porch while enjoying our morning coffee. Had deer in the front yard one morning. Many good restaurants in town just a few minutes away. We ate at Happy Burger and at the 1850 Restaurant - both were VERY good. Grocery store in town with a great beer and wine selection. Also picked up donuts one morning at Donuts A Go Go - yum! The Lach's were very good at communicating with us and made our stay very satisfying. This was a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it.
There is absolutely NOTHING to complain about in regard to this house. We read the reviews and cannot understand the negative remarks. There is privacy, beauty, serenity, and having no internet nor cell service for a week was WONDERFUL! The hot tub was a welcomed site after the long days in Yosemite. Having our own place to come back to and enjoy the peaceful setting was exactly what we were looking for.
The house was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms were comfortable and decorated beautifully. If I have to find something to find that is negative is that the couch was too darn comfortable and hard to get out of. LOL. I hope anyone who is considering going to Yosemite, will stay here. The location is perfect! Thank you for letting us enjoy your home!
My family of 8 just stayed here over spring break. We all had a great time! Very clean spacious house with a fully stocked kitchen. We loved having the hot tub after full days of hiking yosemite. The house is a short drive to the south entrance of yosemite, and a few minuet drive to the town that has plenty of restaurants and stores. The owners are very nice and helpful. We will defiantly be staying here again next time we are going to yosemite.
I wanted to take a "working vacation," so I could spend my days on vacation and work online at night while my wife was asleep. So I chose this property because it listed "Internet: YES" on the overview page.
THE BAD: This property DOES NOT have ANY internet access. If you read the fine print carefully (which I didn't) , by "internet available" the owner means that there is WiFi available two miles away at some burger joint in Mariposa. Steve (the owner) told me that the "internet: YES" on the overview page was a "typo."
Also the property isn't as secluded as the pictures would suggest. There is a house just 50 yards behind with semi trucks parked all around it, which I can clearly see out the kitchen window. You can also see and hear the neighbors when they are outside, or when they startup the semi trucks. This is more of a "ranchette" than a secluded mountain top retreat. May be considered "secluded" if you're from the city.
THE POSITIVE: Great views of the sunrise in the morning. Hot tub out on the deck is a great way to spend the evenings. Very roomy, very clean. Master bathroom is HUGE, and very well stocked with linens. Just secluded enough to be quiet but NOT private. Easy drive to Yosemite. Overall great for getting away from it all, without being too far from it all. It gets cold at night the time of year we stayed, but the heat works well and there is a very nice faux fireplace in the living room which is cozy. PLENTY of blankets in the bedrooms.
I would have given this property four or five stars if it had both of the only two features for which I rented it: the hot tub AND internet service. Because internet availability was misrepresented, I gave it a 50% rating because I feel I only got 50% of what I thought I was paying for.
I suggest you call the owner before you book to ensure that all the features you may be counting on this property having actually exist.
Excellent base camp to visit Yosemite and the surrounding parks. Average drive to/from the cabin was about 45 minutes and its a fantastic drive. We really appreciated being able to make a quick drive down the the town of Mariposa to get supplies and enjoy a nice meal at the local restaurants.
Cell service is non-existent on Sprint, however, AT&T has no issue. Some additional amenities would be nice. There is a tv but only a limited amount of channels. It would be nice if there bunch of board games/puzzles/cards to play or horse shoes/bags/bocce ball for outside.
The cabin itself is very easy to get to and well marked with signs. It's comfortable and spacious with a great deck and hot tube. The hot tub was a perfect way to spend the evenings after a long hike.
The owners are very responsive and will go out of their way to make sure everything is ok. We really appreciated everything they did to make us feel at home.
Great price and great value for a trip to Yosemite. I'd stay here again.
My family of 4 + Grandma spent a lovely weekend at the house. It was exactly as described, right down to the deer wandering by the kitchen windows in the morning. The drive to Yosemite is lovely and Mariposa is nearby for groceries or a bite to eat.
What a wonderful place to relax! The Mariposa Getaway was just what we needed! We had amazing weather, enjoyed the spa and great accommodations. The house was clean and well maintained. Spent two days driving in and out of Yosemite...hadn't enjoyed the valley for many years. Steve & Sue are well known in Mariposa. The bonus for us...Butterfly Festival in town...very quaint and enjoyable. Beer tasting at Prospectors Brewery was fun. We zip lined at the Yosemite Zip Line in Mariposa. Learned so much about the history and people. Thanks for a great experience! We will definitely tell our friends about this great escape and come back again!
