This review is long overdue. We stayed at this beautiful property in February. The home is beautiful and despite the rooms being connected very comfortably set up. Each room has its own entrance to the yard. We were able to stay by the fire at night, see the stars, and by day enjoyed the beautiful sunset. We took our two dogs who also enjoyed the space. The neighbors dogs did run along the fence and one was able to squeeze through to make it into the property, but we were able to pull the fence wire back. We also let the host know and they were attentive to the matter.Our overall stay was wonderful.

Great family location

My family and I had the opportunity to stay at this wonderful property in March. It was well maintained, clean, and had plenty of activities to pre-occupy my 2 boys (15 & 17), when we weren’t out at Yosemite hiking. It had great views and was perfect for our small family.

Comfortable house

The house size was very nice. But oddly you had to walk through one bedroom to get to the master bedroom. In an attempt to be helpful, I guess, the host left notes all over the house. Unfortunately, it felt like I had gone off to college and come home and mom was leaving me notes about the house rules. The property itself was nice with an amazing view, but the neighborhood was a little rundown with junk vehicles, etc. in the yards.

A lovely stay during our trip to Yosemite

The house is beautiful, comfortable, well stocked, and surrounded by nature with amazing views. It’s an easy drive up the 140 to the Arch Rock entrance to Yosemite, and the gold rush town of Mariposa is very close by as well. Highly recommend!

Great location for a Yosemite vacation.

We stayed at the Gold Rush Ranch for our family vacation to Yosemite (4 adults). We spent most of our days at the park which is just under an hour away. But after a long day of hiking it was so nice to come back to a clean comfortable modern home. The beds were very comfortable and the home had everything we needed, linens, towels, washer/dryer, wifi, coffee maker etc. And the view on the back deck was absolutely beautiful, especially in the morning. The town of Mariposa is barely 10 minutes away where we were able to buy groceries and eat dinner out each night. We definitely recommend this VRBO rental. Thank you Rekha and Shyam for sharing you beautiful home with us.

A great place if you want to relax. 45 min drive to Yosemite but rewarding when getting there. Great view of the Mountains a even better at night time to see the stars. Place is fully equipos so we felt like being home. Owners are very friendly and communicative, which help quite a lot. Truly recommend it

Beautiful spot. Views are amazing. Very private. House was spotless. 45 min drive to Yosemite entrance. 60 minutes into the valley itself. works best for a family with kids, as the second bedroom is a walk-through from the living room to the master bedroom Highly recommend.

This home and property are absolutely beautiful. We stayed here while visiting Yosemite and while we spent most of our days at the park, which is only about an hour away, it was so nice to come back to the home at the end of the day. Upon arrival it was spotless and Rekha and Shyam left a light on for us since we were coming in late. The home had everything we needed, linens, towels, wifi, etc. The view of the mountains in the morning was spectacular. I would highly recommend this property and Rekha and Shyam as hosts!

Private and peaceful

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is very private with beautiful vistas. The house is very roomy, clean and functional. It was nice to be close to Mariposa for dining and shopping. There were deer and hare around the house in the morning and evenings - fun to see. We drove to Yosemite every morning, probably about an hour to the valley. We would definitely go back if we were visiting Yosemite again.
