Good to know

This is a one bedroom studio located upstairs in our historic boutique hotel building right off of the downtown Mariposa strip. Our brand is "Tourist Homes", just like the sign advertised to the public at it's original opening in 1938! Back then the rooms had wood fired cookstoves, radiator (steam) heaters, and the newest amenity around, a shower instead of a tub! We only wish we had the original log book of guests from then... could it be possible that Teddy Roosevelt stayed during his trip to Yosemite? Or maybe Ansel Adams? Hey, we can dream, right? ;-) Now the studio beckons you with charms from past... like the hardwood floors we found under the carpet, speakeasy style peek window on the door, the same shower space (newly redone), and vintage kitchen cabinetry. We've done our best to merge the 30's style with modern comforts and ammenities, and we hope you love it as much as we do! Here's what our space has for you: Bedroom/Living: -King sized bed with luxurious pillows, sheets, and comforter for an amazing night's sleep -Smart Roku TV with all your favorite streaming apps (we do not have cable) -Cozy corner chair/reading nook -Closet space Bathroom: -Fully tiled shower -Custom crafted vanity -Luxury towels -Quality soap/shampoo/conditioner provided -Hair dryer -vintage style tile & decor Adorable Kitchenette Includes: -Full sized fridge -Hot plates -Black N Decker Toaster Oven -Microwave -Coffee Pot -Kettle -Dishes/Glasses/silverware -Pots/Pans/utensils/knives -Strainer/mixing bowls/measuring cups & spoons -Pizza cutter/can opener/bottle opener -Olive oil/Salt/Pepper -Table & stools The studio shares a wall with one other guest room (coming to Airbnb soon!) and has a double door between the rooms that can be opened in case of parties traveling together. The parking lot is located right in front of the building (Free parking) and you do not have to walk through any indoor common areas to get to your studio. We have a shared outdoor patio with a fire pit and cozy seating if you would like to mingle with other guests under the stars (& the 75 year old holly tree!)

We had an amazing stay! The AirBNB was exactly as listed and the communication from the host was absolutely top notch. The location is unparalleled. Right in the heart of downtown Mariposa where everything was super walkable. We went into Yosemite and it was a straight shot to the park. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I have stayed here multiple times and it is dependably delightful. On Friday night there was high school football game. Both team buses drove up the main street chanting & cheering for their team. It doesn't get more quaint than that.

Great place to stay. It’s close to everything the town has to offer, it’s nicely decorated, very clean, and the host, Laney, was extremely helpful and accommodating. Definitely will return and highly recommend!

We loved our stay in this little Airbnb in Mariposa! The town is adorable, there are lots of restaurants to walk to for dinner, and it’s about an hour drive to Yosemite! The place was super clean, it was so nice having a kitchen to make breakfast and prep lunches, and the bed was super comfortable. We loved the little touches throughout the Airbnb like the Togo coffee cups and tubberware so we could pack leftovers for a day at the park. We had an issue with the ac unit, and to our surprise they put in a whole new unit while were were gone at the park, which was SO nice and impressive they could fix the issue that quick! Would not hesitate to stay here again. Oh and the road noise talked about in the other reviews didn’t bother me one bit and I’m a super light sleeper.
