    Great location, just a little under an hour to the Yosemite NP. 2.5 hrs from Bay Area. The house is close to town, but in a quiet area away from Highway. Clean, well equipped, comfortable. Very easy communication with host via email.

    The location was great and felt like a professionally run vacation home. I’m just sad we didn’t have more time to explore the property. It was raining when we arrived but they still made sure the hot tub was running, which is so kind because I...

I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA, but have moved to Mariposa, CA, where I currently work as a travel agent. Recently started renting a property in the gorgeous mountain ambiance of Mariposa to visitors coming to the area. I am looking to provide the best possible experience for guests visiting this part of California. There is nothing more reassuring and calming than finding a place that feels like a second home on your travels. As you can imagine, I love everything about travel, especially when it's connected to nature and meditation. Hiking throughout breathtaking scenery brings both joy and tranquility to my inner being. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have, or even if you want to say hi. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Neighborhood description Mariposa, California, United States While the house and property offers 3.06 acres of 100% privacy, it still just 3 min from charming downtown Mariposa, 45 minutes from Yosemite National Park, 25 minutes from Lake McClure, and 15 min from the Briceburg Merced River location. The town of Mariposa, first settled in 1849, is the southernmost in the Gold Rush chain of towns. The streets follow the original street grid laid out by John C. Fremont in 1850. Several disastrous early fires convinced settlers to rebuild with stone, brick, and adobe. Consequently, many of today’s existing structures in the historic downtown area of Mariposa had been built by the late 1850s, with most of the remaining ones completed by 1900. Because they have always been in use, the old buildings haven’t had to be restored or recreated. In your travels through the town of Mariposa, you might hear it referred to as the “Mother of Counties.” That’s not meant as a boast. When California was granted statehood in 1850, Mariposa County was by far the largest county, comprising about one-fifth of the state. (It was later subdivided into eleven additional counties.) Soon after, the discovery of gold lured prospectors by the thousands, all with dreams of striking it rich. The easy gold only lasted for a couple of decades, but it lasted long enough for roads and railroads to be built. Communities evolved even as the local economy was shifting to quartz mining, ranching, farming, and logging. Today’s visitors to Mariposa will find many remnants from those early days, from preserved landmarks to obscure ruins—all of them a testament to the county’s fascinating past. Change has come gracefully to Mariposa. Mariposa has retained the small town charm of a bygone era, so you won’t see strip malls or chain stores, and Mariposa remains one of a handful of California towns without a stop light.
