I had an enchanted weekend in the Yosemite area, in no small part due to this place. It was so sweet there I never even made it to Yosemite on the first day, just hung out on the property and read and relaxed and met people. First of all, the inn is an incredible value. But the real reason to... More

We stayed two nights in one of the suite-rooms because the room we had booked had a faulty loo. Suite was large, light and airy with plenty of space, two rooms knocked into one with two double sofas as well as bed, large vanity sink area with worktop and full sized mirror and bathroom with great powerful shower - the...

We were on a 2+ week vacation and spending time in various hotels. This was my favorite. This place has so much personality. Our spacious room had two double beds and a long, narrow bath... not run-of-the-mill. There was also a small room with a mini-kitchen, of sorts. We didn't really use it as the Cafe was right there with... More

From the first contact, we were pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome. The rooms were very nicely decorated, warm and cosy. And spotlessly clean! For once in a hotel : REAL shampoo and shower gel. Wifi was superfast, breakfast was outstanding with home-made muesli, muffins and cake.... We surely recommend this cosy place in Mariposa!

Horrible hotel. We have stayed in a lot of hotels over the years (all over the US) - this place takes the award as "Worst hotel we have ever stayed in". To be accurate, we did not spend the whole night there. We bailed around 10pm, ran screaming from the place, had planned to just sleep in the van, but... More

Found the place by sheer chance. Cheap motel with a great atmosphere. Friendly staff and very affordable. Nice bar just down the road called "golden coin".

Stayed at the Inn during the fall and had a wonderful time. The rooms very clean, cozy and well appointed. The cafe is outstanding with great fresh baked items and sandwiches. The garden is also great to hangout and enjoy. Live music and beautiful surroundings.. This place is a great alternative to stay at as its location is right next... More

I stayed one night at the inn with some friends and we were very satisfied with this place that was recommended in our guidebook. The owner was nice to us and is a remarkable cook. Pastries for breakfast were excellent and the sandwiches we ordered for our picnic of the day were delicious too. The room and bathroom were large... More

We arrived at the Inn around middnight. The caffeteria was closed but it hung a panel with a phone number to use in case of arriving late. I called about 10 times, and nobody answer. Then I saw another panel informing that "Javier's" room key was in room number 8. My name is not Javier neither my boyfriend's, but since... More
