About this property

Riverside Manna, "Gateway to Beautiful Yosemite Valley" Modern 3bd/2 ba cottage

  • Nestled in the Sierras this charming 3 bedroom 2 bath cottage offer plenty to do. Sound of Chowchilla river flowing back of the house make you feel so relaxed. The main living area has a cozy setting that every one can enjoy the fire place and watch TV. Open kitchen will give you room to make your favorite dish at ease. All the utensils are in place and for your convenience & the cabinets have been labeled. Free WiFi and only Verizon cell service will work at the house. Patio has a charcoal BBQ for all your BBQ needs. Guests can enjoy sitting at the picnic bench and watch occasional Deer and Turkey walk through the back yard.

    Master bedroom has a king bed with an attached toilet, 2nd bedroom has queen bed and the 3rd room has a twin size bed and a twin bunk bed for the kids. Guest can enjoy the open floor plan of the house. Walking to the river it is short walk down the hill in the back yard. It is a great place to relax, listening to the water flow. During the winter months, warm up with the wood burning stove and standard gas heating at the house. Some winters there will be 1 to 2 inches of snow. For all the shooting enthuses there is a free shooting rang couple of minutes’ drive towards the national forest. It is a nice drive and also you can enjoy the beautiful views of the mountain range.
    The property is located between Mariposa and Oakhurst town close to Hwy 49. Mariposa is a historic town and the house is located 25 minutes away from the property. The town has wonderful restaurants & bars. You could visit the Museum & Historic Center, California State Mining & Mineral Center, Zip line and Aerial Adventure parks and also can visit the Mariposa County Old Stone Jail while you are there. You will find interesting shopping, including antiques and western/cowboy themed memorabilia.  
    From this mountain getaway, you can easily explore Yosemite valley, Mariposa Gold Country, and the Wild and Scenic Merced River. It is about a hour drive to the Yosemite park entrance. Choose from so many activities: hike Yosemite's spectacular trails, take a leisurely bike ride or float on a raft through Yosemite Valley in the Merced river and backpacking.

Loved the location and backyard access to the river. Only reason it’s not a 5 star is there was so many spiders we had to kill and I’m terrified of them.

Nice

It was a nice home. There were 7 adults and we each had a bed. Anything over we believe someone would be sleeping on the couch. The view was lovely out the back door. Lots of curvy roads to get to the location.

The property was really nice, clean, and well maintained. It was very spacious and well furnished. We were able to walk down to the river / creek behind the property and spend some quality time there. Even saw flocks of turkey wandering about that was quite fun for the kids! The host also called us the first day to make sure we were settled in and that was quite nice. Plenty of shopping and dining options at a 5-7 min drive so we didnt really have to worry about food at any time. Overall a 5/5 experience and we wouldnt mind staying there again when we visit Yosemite next time.

Simple/clean home

Nice house in a nice area. We were a little disappointed at how far this house was from Yosemite. It was an hour and a half drive, 2 times a day. That is on us though. No TVs in the bedrooms. Tankless water heater so there was unlimited hot water which was nice for our large family. There were a couple wild turkeys running around that we enjoyed watching. The river was nice but bring mosquito spray. We were getting eaten alive! I would say overall this house is very simple, clean, and comfortable. Meets all basic needs and felt safe.

Great location, We were a family of 5, 13, 15 and 17 year old and it was a perfect base for Yosemite. 1 hour from main Yoseimte valley entrance (if you leave at 0545am like we did) and 45 mins from south entrance. Lovely quiet location. House was really clean and had everything we needed. Miriposa was approx 20 min drive away with lots of restraunt options. Don't let the distance to Yosemite put you off as its excellent value compared to closer options and much nicer. Was also really handy being able to do our laundry. Great washer and large separate dryer .

Kitchen sink is in need of repair. Need indirect lightening in bedrooms for reading. Lamps on end tables would be good. Could add soap, shampoo and conditioner in bathrooms. Need kitchen linens . Kitchen was well stocked. We found one wine glass broken and we accidentally broke another one. Sorry. Beds were good. We were too busy to use outdoor amenities but it looked good. Maybe upgrade outdoor chairs.

Great vacation home for Yosemite.

This great house is good for a family vacation. It’s very comfortable but lacking some kitchen supplies and pots and pans. It’s only an hour and a half drive to Yosemite valley. No live TV but Hulu or Netflix is available but we didn’t use it.

Riverside Manna

The riverside manna was very clean! Beds were soft, lots of extra blankets, plenty of cook ware. The surrounding area was beautiful. The creek was a short walk and was great to sit and listen to. One afternoon while in the creek a bear did come within 10 ft from us. He was not aggressive but that was scary. The creek is beautiful though. Everything was great. The host has great communication skills.

Needed better cleaning on vents and fans throughout the rental. Newer kitchen cookware - pans are needed. Missing blinds in kitchen sliding door. Location is ok so long as you are aware of the travel time required to get to the different entrances to Yosemite. Overall the stay was ok. Paul is very responsive.

Beautiful home overall. Just a few little things I think the home needs but the experience was great. Home was clean and welcoming. Stores are not close by, its about a 20 minute drive. A home like this should have all the condoments needed which it didn't. We love how it backed up to a creek and felt like we were in the woods. The wild life was amazing seeing bambi and her momma and wild turkey's. The property in the backyard was full of weeds and some in the front yard as well.

Everything we needed for our quick getaway to Yosemite

My friends and I stayed at Paul's place for our 2-day trip to Yosemite. Convenient location ~1.5 hours away from the park, located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. The kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, utinsels, and cutlery (even some appliances like a toaster and hand mixer) which was very nice since we opted to have home cooked meals instead of eating out. The little pathway leading to the river in the back was also a nice little surprise! Overall, the house was very clean and well maintained. Great communication and timely responses from the host. I would definitely stay here again for my next trip to Yosemite!

Comfortable stay

I think I was much more pleased than I expected to be with this house. The liked the house layout with the three bedroom doors close to each other, and yet the rooms were private, one from the other. The house was staged for a super comfortable stay, from the towels and bedding, to the couch and TV entertainment, to the full kitchen and accessories, and the creek nearby. We enjoyed breakfasts at the patio as we heard the creek flow. We also enjoyed the creek itself, swimming in one of the many accessible watering holes. The house was 30 minutes from Oakdale - where we did our grocery shopping - and was 30 minutes from Mariposa - where we enjoyed the main street shops and museum. And, the house was 1.5 to 2.0 hours away from different Yosemite sites, so we got used to the long drives. Additionally, Paul was prompt in responding to every communication and even checked in every once in a while.

Comfy place for a decent price!

Slightly over an hour from Yosemite, but 15-20 minutes to conveniences of town. Beautiful home with plenty of amenities! Loved having a nice spacious kitchen to cook in. The multiple outdoor seating options were nice and relaxing, even though not too private from neighbors. Really cool firepit area with plenty of wood from recently cut trees! Our master bed was pretty comfy, others must have been comfy too because there were no complaints. Loved our bathroom with lots of counter space and good water pressure in shower. Water from sink was amazing to drink! Only pretty minor issues related to traveling with the elderly---had to use chairs/tv tray to elevate my parents luggage so they didn't have to bend down (bedrooms had one nightstand and no dressers.) Also, path to beautiful creek was pretty steep and too much for my elderly parents with bad knees to handle. But they soaked in plenty of creek/waterfall beauty at Yosemite!
