Stayed here in-between stays in Las Vegas and San Fran and it was the perfect getaway for me and my partner.

My husband and I spent 4 nights here as a base for visiting Yosemite. We really enjoyed this cabin in a secluded peaceful setting. It is a bit of a drive outside Mariposa so we took the advice of stopping for groceries in town before our arrival. The space and bed are very comfortable. We really appreciated the large kitchen as we prepared most of our meals here. Took advantage of the nice cooler on hand when we packed lunches and water for the days spent in Yosemite. It is a bit of a drive to Yosemite but a beautiful drive and we didn't mind. We just got up a little earlier to head out since that was our main objective. Felt that this cabin was very affordable and well worth it. Highly recommend!

Great cabin with everything you need for your stay! Very comfortable, lots of room with good wifi and lots of family games, movies, etc. The only drawback is that it takes one hour to get to Yosemite NP. But, it is well worth the drive!

The cabin was even better than we expected! We said “wow” as we entered it. Beautiful, tranquil location and full of charm. Plenty of comfy bedding and extra beds. The enclosed patio was my favorite spot. The nice full sized kitchen was perfect for our needs. The hosts were very kind and generous, and we felt blessed to be staying here. We highly recommend Nora’s Yosemite Retreat!

I was traveling with my mom and aunt as a small family vacation. For the three of us this was a perfect place to stay and relax after spending all day in Yosemite. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Nora was great with communicating and also providing some helpful tips.

We enjoyed our stay at Nora’s Yosemite retreat immensely. The cabin is well stocked with amenities, pillows, blankets, necessities and movies! We came to spend time at the park but we’re unable to due to crowds and insufficient parking, so having this cabin was a nice treat. We were close to Yosemite’s south entrance, Bass Lake and Oakhurst. We also discovered a charming little coffee roaster down the road as well. Definitely recommend this cabin no matter what your plans are or become.

This was an awesome place to stay. We felt like we were staying at a family member’s house. Host was great! It is very remote though, no cell signal, but has wifi. Takes about an hour to get to Yosemite, lots of winding roads, but the drive is very scenic. We would definitely stay here again if we are every back at Yosemite

The property is exceptional. The kitchen is extremely well stocked and the unit is nicely decorated and very homey. My wife & I were extremely comfortable. The screened-in deck was such a nice bonus!

We had a fantastic time! We really enjoyed the little touches that Nora had throughout the property. Although we didn't spend as much time there as we would have liked to (too much time exploring the Park!) we really enjoyed the deck where you can sit and enjoy the sun as well as hummingbirds and squirrels. We had been concerned about the WIFI coming into the trip because we both had some work to do, but it held up fine for all of our needs! We would highly recommend! :-)

We could tell from the photos that this place was great, but the little extra touches made it even more special!
Complimentary coffee beans (delicious) with a grinder and filters as well, popcorn that we never had a chance to make, a lovely deck and screened in porch with a well populated hummingbird feeder for entertainment, bandaid and first aid supplies in rhe cabinet should we need them; we could go on and on!
A perfect cabin in the woods for out trip to yosemite! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Nora’s Yosemite Retreat was lovely, clean and had everything we needed to make for a pleasant stay. From a cooler to ziplock bags for packing lunches to nature right outside the window.

This place was absolutely perfect for my husband and I. This was by far the best equipped VRBO we have stayed at. The owners were excellent communicators and helped make our stay great. I also don't think I have ever stayed at a place that was this clean. The only downside is that the shower head was a little short, but this is not a reason to not book here.

Cottage in the Woods
Spent 2 nights at Nora’s cottage and it was the perfect landing spot to explore Yosemite. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. It was warm at night so our daughter slept on the cot in the bedroom where we had the portable AC unit but there was plenty of room. Loved the owl collection and sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds! Would definitely recommend this house to anyone needing a quiet place within reach of yosemite.

Yosemite Proximity!
My girlfriend & I stayed here for two nights so we could explore Yosemite Valley. It was less than a 50 min drive to into the park at Arch Entrance on hwy 140. This worked out really well for us as we got to enjoy the drive up and down the park and see as much as we could during our short stay. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed. Be advised we had little to no cell service in the area so make sure you read the directions and take a map with you so you don’t only have to rely on GPS. The cabin does have wifi so no issues there. Great hosts!!

The house was all we needed to use as our base for Yosemite. It was very cozy and had everything we needed. We found it to be a little over an hour to get into the valley.

Nice secluded area
Should be aware that the location is a further 20 or so minutes away from town, and after spending the day on a long hike in Yosemite, that extra drive can be tiring. That being said, we were wonderfully surprised to see the location and loved its secluded location. The outdoor screened patio is a great spot to relax and eat a meal. Thank you for letting us stay! It was lovely to relax there.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cabin. It helped a lot to read the reviews because it does require a little planning to make this the perfect set up to visit Yosemite and surroundings.
The Cabin is about 40 min away from the town of Mariposa and 1.25 hrs from either the west or south entrance of Yosemite. We always planned our outings with a return through Mariposa to enjoy one of the breweries or pick up dinner to cook back at the cabin. Nora stocks the cabin with everything you need to prepare an easy dinner. The deck with Hummingbird visitors in the morning or deer in the early evening is perfect for lounging. Great hikes outside Yosemite within 45 min drive. We ended up fixing dinner at the Cabin to avoid a roundtrip drive in the evening. Loved the woods and all the sounds that come with a forest. Can highly recommend this retreat for an urban getaway.

Had an amazing time in the home. It was such a cozy place with nice touches everywhere. The movies were great, as were all the extra blankets and plenty of dish ware for cooking. The desk being both enclosed and open was great depending on whether we were relaxing or hanging out.
We loved experiencing the towns around in addition to Yosemite. Mariposa was full of kind people and great shops. Oakhurst was a bigger town than we expected and seeing the differences between highway 41 and 140 were quite interesting.
Thanks again!
