Peaceful stay

We had a great stay at this home. The house was super clean and had a very well stocked kitchen. It is perched on a quiet hillside with beautiful views and overall was extremely peaceful. We will likely be back here for another trip!

Good base location for Yosemite

We had an enjoyable few days at the house while we visited nearby Yosemite. It was great to have a hill that was very quiet and private. There are a few other houses nearby, but we rarely saw anyone else. Great nearby gas and groceries. Communication was prompt and clear.

Hidden Gem in Mariposa

Akila was a great host and responds quickly. The house is clean and well organized. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay comfortably. Very close to restaurants, gas, and grocery. Great base camp to Yosemite Arch Rock entrance on highway 140. We will definitely come back in our next Yosemite adventure.

We loved the house! It was clean and so well organized. The pool table and hot tube were awesome. One of our favorite things was to watch the wildlife visit the water feature in the back yard. So many birds! Nice quite neighborhood. We would definitely stay again.

Roomy comfortable house, beautiful setting

I considered cancelling our trip due to the Oak wildfire. When I contacted the owner about my misgivings, she gave me detailed information about the current status, and good sources of information about updates. This eased my mind and we decided to go forward with our stay - I’m so glad we did. The house was large and cozy. The beds were very comfortable, there was lots of storage space, and we enjoyed relaxing in the common areas after long days of hiking. The location in Mariposa was beautiful, and convenient for exploring Yosemite. Gorgeous views from the house. Communication was excellent - very detailed and comprehensive, as well as warm and welcoming. We’d love to come back and stay here again. Thank you!

The property was as advertised, and better. The owner was accessible and prompt in response. The property is perfect. She goes above and beyond with very clear instructions. Nothing is ambiguous. Great stay because of the owner. Also, drive into town for the donut shop. Perfect for the drive back to SFO! Thanks Akila. You definitely made the stay worth while!!!
