Great place to stay and only 40 minutes to Yosemite! After a long day hiking, it was awesome to come “home” and sit on the front deck and listen and watch all the different birds and relax in privacy. It was super clean, comfortable and spacious and close to some good restaurants in Mariposa. Would absolutely stay again!

Beautiful place that we enjoyed very much. There is so much to do in the area, I didn't have the opportunity to relax on the property as much as I would have liked. Very inviting place and outdoor area. Was able to spend a few evenings in the hot tub which was very relaxing after long days of exploring and hiking.

Excellent location and house. We were here for Yosemite and this was a great base of operations for the humans. We had some questions once we got there and the response was immediate while everything else was clearly communicated by the owners either in communications prior to the stay and on site. Would stay again in a second. Thank you!

We loved our stay at the Midpines House. The house has everything you need in the kitchen, the beds are comfy and supportive, and there are thoughtful touches throughout. We loved having our evening meal and wine on the deck with the cute Solar lights. It was a good basecamp for the Arched Rock entrance to Yosemite. We went to Mariposa Grove as well. The hot tub was great after a day of hiking. We hope to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Midpine cottage! The place was clean, beautifully decorated and full of thoughtful touches! Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and utensils. There are several spots around the property to relax- we especially enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch. Jerry and Courtney were very responsive host. They even set out a bed, bowls and treats for our puppies which we really appreciate! Highly recommend this place and would love to come back.

Relaxing getaway near Yosemite

My family and I made this place our base for our Yosemite trip, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We loved how cozy the interior of the home was, and how close to nature we were. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-equipped and hot tub was clean. On top of that, we found all we need provided for in the accommodations - ranging from dishwashing pods, washing detergent and dryer wool, pots and pans, spices for our cooking just to name a few.There was a small hiccup where the barbecue ran out of gas. The hosts were very quick to respond, which we are grateful for. Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing stay!

Wonderful getaway near Yosemite

We used it as our home base to take winter hikes in Yosemite. It was lovely! The single tiny downside was not being able to leave our very old dog in the home while we were away. But overall a very comfortable home.

Adorable clean, spacious cabin, close to town but feels private and remote. Charming decor from living room to bedrooms with comfortable beds and bedding. So many usable spaces- front porch, back porch, and ample space in living and dining area. The host has thought of all needs including toiletries, snacks, coffee, towels for hot tub etc. Good communication online and thorough instruction book with checkout info. Wish we could have stayed longer :)
