We weren’t sure on driving up, but liked the spacious room and quiet. Within easy walking distance of a BBQ place, tap house, and ice cream shop :) Had a very nice patio area to enjoy in the evening, and a coffee shop on site (but not open Sun/Mon). Would definitely stay here again!

Everything was fantastic, except for the shower water. It kept switching between cold and hot automatically, which made my shower at the end a contrast. Love the complimentary bath toiletries and clean sheets with quiet area.

Outstanding service and accommodation

Cool little inn on a quiet street. The owner was very accommodating and responsive. They had to scramble to find us a crib as they had none left when we checked in. She was super sweet and was able to locate one in town for us to use during our stay. Outstanding service and ability to accommodate us. Really went above and beyond. The room was nice and spacious. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The only thing I'd say is the bathroom could use a little more attention when cleaning. Overall it was a great stay for our trip to Yosemite!

Suite #1 is nice and spacious. The bed to the right is less creaky. It was difficult to get the water to a comfortable temperature in the shower. When we got back from dinner, the parking lot was full, and no one answered our or messages to help us find a safe place to park.

The perfect place to stay for Yosemite if you want to drive back to a convenient area at night. I did not see one staff member while there - it was self serve check-in and nothing open on site during the Sunday/Monday I was there, which I thought was very odd. But there is plenty around the eat etc. The perfect place to stay for Mariposa activities. Would stay again.
