Charles was an excellent host. House is very conveniently located for traveling in and out of Yosimite National Park. You are also close to Mariposa where you can grab groceries, restaurants and shops. Charles had us ready for our adventures each day with a great list of information for best practices to maximize your visit to the park, and provided a cooler for you to use while you are there. Everything was great!

This cottage in Midpines is spacious and very clean. It was a perfect layout for my husband, adult daughter and myself to vacation together to enjoy quality time together, as well as have our own private spaces. We stayed at Charles's place to explore Yosemite, and Charles provided some excellent recommendations on things to see and do in Yosemite, as well as in the area. Charles was excellent in communication and providing details of what to expect, both in advance and during our stay. I wish that the hour-long drive to Yosemite Valley were shorter, but it is unlikely that you will find a free-standing home that is any closer. (The length of the drive was accurately described in the listing). There are some motels that are closer to Yosemite, but with that comes the trade-off of the kitchen and more space. I highly recommend!
