Location is awesome and house is nice. I will keep coming back. The Yosemite national park is super close with trails and cafes in Mariposa. Would recommend visiting even just for a night. The couple hosting the bnb are funny and a joy to be around.

Amazing mountain home vibe in a beautiful setting with 2 of the most wonderful hosts I've ever met at an air BNB. Joy and Paul are extremely accommodating and will make sure you have an awesome experience while visiting the Mariposa.area and Yosemite. They also host karaoke in town if you're looking for something fun to do outside of hiking or exploring. This place is 5 minutes from the beautiful Merced river and 10 minutes from downtown Mariposa. If you're planning to visit this area, you should definitely plan to stay here, you won't be disappointed!!!

The Getaway in Mariposa is exactly what its name promises peaceful and full of charm. The room was super comfortable and had everything I needed after exploring Yosemite. The wraparound porch is perfect for relaxing in the evening, and the location is ideal. Paul and Joy are awesome hosts friendly, responsive, and genuinely welcoming. Great experience!
