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!)

After hiking all day at Yosemite this was the perfect place to recharge & refresh. There are so many restaurants in walking distance which was a major bonus. The place is cute & comfortable with everything you need. The host was very communicative & check-in was a breeze. We had a delightful, worry-free stay & would definitely come back.

We stayed here so we could be close enough to Yosemite and it was great. The place is about an hour from Yosemite entrance. The apartment is just like the description. Adorable little studio with everything you need. Everything was clean and well decorated. Close to a lot of restaurants and the kitchenette made everything super easy. Would definitely book again.

Had a great stay here! Perfect place for those looking to explore Yosemite but still want to be in a town. Location is ideal. It’s in the middle of the town and conveniently located near the YARTS park and ride which is our favorite way to get to the park. Would stay here again on our next visit!

Perfect location, literally can walk to every restaurants and to the small downtown area ! The place is modernized and very clean. Plenty of parking although it could be a bit tight. The host gave us many details and was very responsive.
