A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I thought this place was super cute! Check in was easy. We had a very convenient room. Other than the odd door behind the closet with water noises (which was more funny than anything else) and the thumpers upstairs (stomped a bunch when they checked in but then quieted down) it was really enjoyable. Mexican food right across the street and walking distance to cute downtown area. Nice cold fridge. I thought everything was comfortable. It's off the main street so the street noise was really only other guests parking. Would definitely stay here again!”
“Wow everything about this place was amazing. Super friendly staff that was so willing to make sure all our needs were met. The room was super clean and quiet. Also it's at the beginning of the main road of the town so it makes it super convenient to walk up and down the street to enjoy the magic of Mariposa.”
“We stayed here while on a trip to see Yosemite NP. Fairly nice proximity to the park for the price! Room was spotless very well kept. And booking was a breeze very streamlined process.”
“I really enjoyed my stay. They're very cozy & charming rooms with great accommodations for guests; they even leave drinks in the fridge for you. Reaaonably priced. Would definitely stay again.”
