Great stay for a weekend!
Perfect location before getting into Yosemite. Space was open and we loved the layout of the house. The fireplace was such a sweet addition to warm up the kitchen and living room. We enjoyed the hot tub and it was the perfect place to see the moon come up from the mountain and the VIEW! We were able to see the snow top covered mountains. Everything was perfect and we were able to enjoy the property with our own privacy. The last bit of the ride to the house is unpaved dirty road but we had no issues getting there even under the rain. Parking was plenty! Thanks for bosting us!

Wonderful Stay close to Yosemite
We loved Peter’s place for our trip to the Yosemite MARIPOSA Grove area. The house was appealingly decorated and equipped with all we needed, immaculate, and beds VERY comfortable. We enjoyed the lovely views during morning coffee, reasonableDrives to the places of interest we visited all day, enjoyed family meals back at the house and stargazed in the hot tub each evening. Was all we hoped and more! Thank you Peter!

Fenced Yard and Dog Friendly
We had an amazing stay! The fenced yard was perfect for our dog to run around and play safely, giving us peace of mind. The house was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable, with plenty of space for everyone. The location was convenient, and the host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommend this property to anyone traveling with pets. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice Place
It was pleasing to stay there. We had everything we needed, the Beds were comfortable, and the yoga mat and space in the living room were a plus.
Also, I had planned to bring a dog with us but we didn't if we had a dog I am sure he would have a great time too!!
The only negative was a little far from Yosemite.
That's all. Thanks to Peter for responding to our question quickly.

Great Property!
We thought this was a very nice place! Our grouo had 2 adult couples and the layout worked very well for us. It was very clean! The views were beautiful! We didnt get to use the hot tub or corn hole boards as we just didnt take the time. We were staying there so we could visit Yosemite. It was about 50 mintues to the Arch Rock gate. We did eat in Mariposa twice and it was maybe 15 minutes to get into town. Overall, we really enjoyed this property and would go back! Thank you, Peter!!

Fantastic Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I booked this location to be close to Mariposa and Yosemite. It was the ideal place for us to have access to what we needed and be far enough outside the city lights to feel like we were in a wild area. The house and grounds are wonderful. Everything worked perfectly. Our favorite amenities were the large deck with ping pong table and the cornhole setup. The string of lights on a timer let us finish our game after dark! We unplugged the lights to achieve total darkness for viewing the Milky Way from the deck. So many stars! Highly recommend this rental.

The Retreat was a nice weekend getaway for our group. The amenities like ping pong, hot tub, and board games let us all hang out and chill after a long day in Yosemite. ~15min from Mariposa to try the local shops and restaurants.

The stay was overall great! Communication with owner was standard, we didn’t run into any major issues during our trip. We weren’t there a ton during the day as we were at Yosemite most of the time. The only issue we ran into was the temperature. While away it was set to 85 F and it took hours for the temperature to go down even a few degrees. We’d go to bed in 77 F and once we left the eco mode would bring it back to 85F. My only suggestion is to let the guests set the temperature during their stay or decrease the eco mode temperature to below 80.

Meh….
We did not have the best experience at this property due to the cleanliness of the kitchen and the floors in the main living area.
Let me point out by saying the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. Upon arrival at the house at 330, one window and small door were left opened. It was 112 outside, inside of the house was HOT at 89 degrees. The thermostat was set at 87. It took until the next day for the home to cool down to 76 degrees and there were no fans in any of the rooms.
We were going to Yosemite so we planned on cooking meals at the house. The kitchen not clean. The utensil door had a large greasy food spill in the silverware. We were only left one hand towel n the kitchen and had to use our bathroom wash clothes and towels. We were made aware that the washing machine was broken, but was being replaced during our stay. When we pointed out that we had no kitchen supplies to clean up after ourselves, Peter did give us supplies, but no attempt was made to clean the kitchen or floors. Peter actually saw the greasy mess in the kitchen drawer and his response was he would give the cleaners feedback. Third day we had ants on the kitchen floor by the pantry. The floors n the living area were so dirty that the bottoms of our feet were black on the first night. We did ask for a refund on the cleaning fee since the house was not clean. Peter didn’t feel that was necessary, he blamed it on the elements and rural location. Wish I could post pix of the ants and grease.

We enjoyed our stay at this clean and comfortable home. Thank you for allowing us to bring our dogs. We should have known that this time of year the outside would have lots of burrs and foxtails so we had to keep the dogs in. We will come again a different time of year.

Cozy house
I loved the inside of the house, it was very clean, spacious, and modern. The house is located very remotely, the GPS directions aren’t exact, you have to keep driving a few more minutes on the road after it says you arrived. From the photos I didn’t notice the outside is all weeds and foxtails. I took my dogs and the foxtails kept getting stuck in their fur. Wish this place had a dog friendly outside area.

I booked this place for a trip with my adult daughter, son in law and 12 yo granddaughter. This property was WONDERFUL! It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for us. We were a little disappointed that the washer was broken, but we also understand, it had just happened and the owner told us he couldn’t get a repairman in until the day we had planned to leave. Things happen! That’s out of his control. It’s a beautiful property, very quiet and relaxing. The hot tub was hot and clean! Thanks for letting us book with you!
