Susan's property is amazing! The House: It's secluded and peaceful with great views. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 to congregate or have alone time inside and outside of the house. The back porch/deck was the perfect place to relax and listen to the soothing sound of the chimes or the bench swing on the side porch. The Kitchen: We like to stay at VRBO's for the kitchen and make our own meals. Susan had the kitchen stocked with everything and cabinets labeled so I knew where everything was! One recommendation: replace the dishwasher as it's past its prime. Laundry: It was helpful to have washer and dryer onsite too -that actually worked and didn't ruin our clothes! (with detergent provided) Really, her house is immaculate - nicely decorated, tidy, all essentials provided like an upscale hotel! One caution for families with younger children - she has beautiful couches and fabric dining chairs that are white/cream colored - so would be afraid of spills/stains on her expensive furniture! Location: About an hour from Yosemite - El Portal entrance. You still have to drive a ways to get into Yosemite Valley. We preferred to stay further away from the park to get away from the crowds after long days hiking and sightseeing. Restaurants and groceries are in Mariposa - about 10-15 minute drive. the BBQ restaurant was AMAZING!!

What a beautiful home.....We loved our stay!! We especially loved the outdoor living space and the functioning gas grill was an added bonus. Beautiful view and very peaceful. Extremely well stocked! Susan was a great host, provided some great upfront information and suggestions and was extremely responsive. We spent a wonderful couple of days in Yosemite and it was nice to come back and relax and unwind in such a large and comfortable space. Close to Mariposa for shopping and restuarant needs. One of our favorite properties......would definitely stay again. Thx for hosting!!

This is a beautiful property. The host makes you feel like it’s your home. There was a bowl of Starbucks kuerig cups ready for the morning. She provides luxury linens with a linen duvet cover and Matouk towels. The kitchen is full of beautiful dishes as well as everything you would need. There are 3 beautiful outdoor areas to enjoy. About 30 minutes to the park entrance and 10 minutes to a charming town with plenty of restaurants! A must stay!

Yosemite was our 17th national park and this property is definitely tops on our list of stays! Very clean, very comfortable. We went with two of our adult kids and their significant others and it was amazing for every couple to have their own private escape with each bedroom having its own full bath and temp control! The coffee bar was such a treat to start our mornings! We watched the birds every morning out the kitchen window and the wild turkeys coming for a drink! The back deck was so relaxing and I am obsessed with those wind chimes!Yosemite was only a quick hour from the village and about 2 hours from Tenaya lake and glacier point. The restaurants in Mariposa were great as well. Thank you for sharing this amazing home and allowing us memories for a lifetime!
