Mariposa is an interesting little town with lots of places to eat and a variety of interesting and quirky shops. The locals were friendly and helpful. It is very conveniently located for those wishing to visit Yosemite National Park. The drive on the back roads from El Portal to Mariposa boasts some spectacular views

Mariposa is a nice country town with good range of shops, services and food options for its size (including a supermarket), even in our early spring visiting time. This is due to its proximity to Yosemite NP about 70km away (our reason for visiting). If using the YARTs bus service to access the park its a great base.

Mariposa is about as close you can get to Yosemite without staying in the park, but it's still an hour drive from the valley. This is fine if you're visiting the park for 1 or 2 days, but after 2 days, you'll definitely have had enough of the driving. The town itself is very cute and has tons of nice places to eat. There is also a very large supermarket.

The Day and Night Staff were very kind and helpful, everything was clean and functional, and you CANNOT beat the natural beauty a short distance away. Yosemite is a national treasure for good reason. :)

Mariposa is a small town, nothing much to see.
Mariposa is a small town, nothing much to see. We stayed there to visit Yosemite. But Mariposa has no mobile coverage, Had we known that beforehand, we'd have stayed in Yosemite village, inside the park, which has good mobile coverage.

Great little town, very hot in the summer.
Great little town, very hot in the summer. Near the Yosemite Park entrance that is closest to Yosemite Valley. It is historic with several nice shops and restaurants. Check out The Grove House for a great selection of Micro Brews and great food. Excellent mixed drinks and live music as well! Stay here if you don't want to spend over $400.00 a night!
This house is amazing. I was blown away and wished I could have stayed longer. Beautiful views, big terrace, all rooms are comfortable and well furnished. Downstairs playground area is awesome for bigger groups. Host is very responsive. We arrived an hour or so earlier and they helped us with the keys. It is also quite close to Yosemite valley by car but also there are dinning options nearby as well as big grocery store. and there is enough space to park few cars. I can only recommend!!
This place was beautiful!!! And it's located in a small historic town, Mariposa; you can go for a walk and there's a lot of stores. The room was super big, the kitchen awesome, the living room with a fireplace and the bathroom big as well. We felt like we were in a small apartment. And couldn't beat the price. We came here for our 6th wedding anniversary to go to Yosemite (like 45 mins-1hr drive). Now we know every time we'll go to Yosemite we will stay at 5th Street Inn. Amazing.
Clean, and comfortable
Ruth Ann and family looked after us so well
Helped plan our trips to Yosemite - when to leave so as to get parking, which hikes make sense based on your experience, how to divide up the days to make the most efficient use of the time we had. Gave us the low down on establishments in Mariposa.
Customized and yummy breakfasts considering our dietary restrictions and a packed test edger day really spoiled us.
Villa is in a beautiful, secluded location. We loved the well equipped, huge kitchen. The games room is awesome!
Mountain views from deck are incredible!
Jennifer was very helpful and responsive.
We use the Villa as a base for 3 days of exploring Yosemite. We also loved nearby Mariposa -a charming town with cafes, restaurants, cute gift shops, a lovely park, plus wine tasting and olive oil tasting on offer!
The hotel is lovely. The rooms are spacious and comfy. They are well-kept and clean. Also, the hair dryer and iron were really good!
The staff were really wonderful. Great recommendations for Yosemite and for dinner (several options within walking distance).
Really convenient for getting to Yosemite, and very easy to get to from San Francisco.
I would definitely recommend a stay here.
Stayed for couple of days at this location while we were visiting Yosemite valley.
Very nice experience. Best wishes to the staff.
Rooms are well equipped. Hot breakfast is adequate. Pool and common areas are maintained well.
Short walk by the hotel to Mariposa park is recommended.
Was totally satisfied with the stay.
Visit to adjacent store ‘Chocolate Soup’ is also recommended.
Everything is brand new, very finely decorated, clean and indeed cozy. Fully equipped, with some extra snacks coffee and tea the owners leave for the guests.
Very private but with quick access to Mariposa, and convenient acess to Yosemite (it's a drive but there are very very few closer options).
Great night sky view from the back porch.
Good price for such a lovely place.
The hotel is located in a really nice village, the last we found on our way to yosemite valley, 1 hour drive. Other closer accomodation are kind of isolated.
The receptionist was so kind searching for some tourist info about the National Park. At the time of booking I didn't expect to have a breakfast included, while it was.
If you want to be spoiled every morning near Yosemite with a top breakfast and a hospitable person who tells you all the do's and don'ts about the area and Yosemite in particular, then this is the place to be. Within the shortest time you are part
of Ruth's family. Wonderful person who runs a top B&B in the middle of nature
Super lovely host Christine who had very helpful recommendations and information material for us! Good starting point for Yosemite National Park. Breakfast included (also for taking to the park). Shopping facilities nearby. Family owned small business. We felt very welcome.
We were very impressed with The Monarch Inn. The staff were friendly and helpful. The place was clean and in good condition.
Our room was large comfortable and clean.
Mariposa is a lovely town to visit and easy access to the southern end of Yosemite.
This place is gorgeous. It’s not the nearest stay to Yosemite but its quality more than made up for it - a few days in the house would make good enough a vacation with your family/partner, with or without the national park.
Friendly staff, good breakfast, clean rooms. I’ve stayed at a few other motels/hotels in Mariposa before, but BW is by far better than the local hotels/motels.
Very good location and near to Yosemite National Park. Hotel room was big and clean and well equipped.
Breakfast is provided (there is a waffle maker :) )
