Yosemite Bed and Breakfast

We rented one 2 bedroom cottage for 2 nights. We are so pleased to have discovered this b&b, one of the best place we stayed in years. The breakfasts are not to be missed!

My husband, another couple, and I stayed at YB and B as repeat guests April 19 and 20. The innkeepers are wonderful hosts who go out of their way to deliver hospitality, offer delicious meals, present very comfortable rooms with extra large television, present books to borrow, and have set a room deck near a creek bed where one can relax to watch the wild turkeys and hear the stream running below. The effect is pure bliss. We will come again! I also must comment on the negative remark left by the "50 miles from Yosemite"reviewer. Although we did not know them, these people walked directly into our room while the innkeeper was helping us. They had been lost,were from Germany, were angry, and obviously took it out on him and YBand B.They didn't even stay so I think their review should be pulled from this list. My many European friends would even refer to their behavior and manners as "ugly"

I really enjoyed my stay at Yosemite Bed and Breakfast. Our room was big and very well appointed. The location is just a short drive from Mariposa and is in a lovely valley with spectacular views. Most importantly, breakfasts were generous and really, really delicious!

Booked the room for two nights had to leave after one. Room is like a jail cell, no windows no air conditioning/heat controls. Electrical extension cord from back of bed running on floor to closet feeding a 9 inch TV that can’t be seen from the bed. TV is on top of a refrigerator that was humming all night. and yes we had a bug on the bed. Why mislead people and call the inn YOSEMITE BED AND BREAKFAST when the place is fifty (50) miles away from Yosemite. On the good side the hosts are very nice.

They said they were leaving early because of bad weather. I do not recognize the room they are describing. We asked if there was anything wrong or if there was something we could do. We feel ambushed. Our goal is to exceed everyone's expectations.

- Clay Black (innkeeper)

When we arrived, tired and hungry after a long drive, Clay was very kind. He got us settled in. The room had wine and cheese, a full jar of m&ms, trail mix, an array of hot beverage options, coffe machine, hot water. It was quiet, private, with a generous amount of towels. We spotted a bobcat on our walk in the morning. Breakfast was delicious, and tailored to our preferences. And I believe it is testimony to how well Clay and Joy care for others, that their 17 yr old dog, Miss Midge, was still healthy and friendly. We plan to return to Yosemite Bed & Breakfast.

Everything about our experience at Yosemite B & B was wonderful, from the moment the owner, Clay, came out to greet us upon our arrival. Check-in was a breeze and he led us across the courtyard to our cottage. We stepped into the spacious living area and glimpsed the view off the deck in back and fell instantly in love. So much so that we did not want to leave! However, we had not brought any food with us, though there was a full kitchen, and so after spending what remained of the daylight hours on the deck, we went into Mariposa for a fantastic dinner at Savoury (Clay's #1 recommendation). Early the next morning I was out on the deck again and spotted a buck coming up the hillside. Unfortunately I made the mistake of standing up to get a better look and he bounded away, but it was an awesome sight. The spread at breakfast took our breath away, the table was so beautifully set and the food was wonderful. We will be back--for a longer stay next time.

It's a wonderful bed and breakfast and we like it very much. But have a look at the map, it's difficult to find!!

Just returned from three wonderful days at the Yosemite B&B located outside Mariposa, CA. Their cottage is a very clean, comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with a large living-dining room, modern well-equipped kitchen, and, most delightful of all, a terrace overlooking the woods. Clay and Joy Black were exceptional hosts -- Clay was a wealth of good information about visiting Yosemite Park, and Joy's cinnamin-swirl French Toast was the highlight of her exceptionally good breakfasts. If you want a delightful. peaceful, and tasteful place to rest, this is an outstanding choice. Sincerely, Robert Coon

very nice guest familiy with perfect service and an unbeatable breakfast We felt like we were at home

We stayed at Yosemite Bed and Breakfast and what a nice surprise in almost the middle of nowhere. A wonderful house for us five adults, homemade breakfast and a very nice and friendly landlord/-lady. Nice pool, lots of towels, nice deck to overlook a small valley. We had to cook our own dinner but the facilities for that were OK - since I'm a good cook the dinner was outstanding ;.). You have to shop for dinner etc. in the nearby village or elsewhere. For sure we'll try to visit the place again.

My family of 5 stayed in the cottage...which is not really a cottage, but an attached apartment with 2 beds, 2 baths, and a really great view! The beds where super comfy and clean, as well as the bathrooms. There is a huge porch out back where you can sit and watch the hummingbirds or the deer that come up to eat. There is also a very nice pool. Our hosts, Clay and Joy could not be more hospitable and friendly! The breakfast was home made and delicious! Love that blueberry syrup, Joy!

A truly amazing gem, Yosemite B&B exceeded our expectations in service, accomodation and the breakfasts were incredible. Each morning we were treated to a fantastic view as we ate 5star breakfasts and watched squirrels and hummingbirds outside the window. Our host, Penny, could not do enough and went the extra mile to help us when we left somethings behind and sent them onto us in Sonoma. We had never been to the US before and were truly thrilled with the hospitality of our hosts and also the town of Mariposa. We were only 30minutes fom Yosemite Park and after a full day in the Park it was wonderful to come back to our accomodation and relax. Thankyou again for a wonderful memory of America.

The room, service and value for money were all above average. Dining was as expected for US (hey, I'm european, we don't eat our pork with honey :p). However, the most amazing part of it were the deers, birds (hummingbirds and many others) and generally the nature around, imho that's what make this place really different.

We stayed in Sage room for two nights. After whole day in crowded Yosemite NP is this place like oasis in desert. It´s on lonely place with beautiful nature around...when you open bottle of wine, sit on terace, watch sunset, hummingbirds and enjoy the view, you can not relax more. On top of that, you can refresh yourself in swiming pool and in the morning enjoy very tasty homemade breakfast. If you are looking for place to relax, you shouldn´t miss this place.

It was a really nice, clean house. They even had m&m's and nuts in the room. The breakfast was great! They are nice people.

Enjoyed our stay, very friendly people, felt like home from home nothing was too much trouble. Room was lovely.

Breakfast a little late for going to Yosemite 8:30am if you want to beat the crowd. They do provide the double room with a fully stock kitchen including snacks.

We loved Yosemite and we loved this B&B. It was the only one we went to on our holiday in the US. I know that families are often not catered that well with B&B's especially with a 3yo but were never made to feel uneasy. Our eldest daughter when giving our youngest a bath, accidentally knocked the shampoo and conditioner dispenser off the wall and broke it. When we told out hosts, they were only interested that the little one was ok. I highly recommend staying here.

My significant other and I stayed in the Sierra room and it was amazing on all levels. Very clean and well furnished, the room even came with supplies for making hot cocoa, coffee and tea, as well as free bottled water and snacks. Joy and Clay, the owners, are amazing hosts and fed us very well during our stay. The breakfast room overlooks an amazing view of a ravine and there were lots of doves and hummingbirds to entertain us during our meal. The town nearby is also beautiful and has some nice places to eat and shop as well. Overall the whole weekend was incredible and we are already planning a return trip in the summer.

The owners here are very friendly and helpful. A rockslide had closed 140 into Yosemite the night before we got there, and they checked the weather and road conditions for us while we ate breakfast. Nice house with lots of outdoor space (although we didn't use any of it because we stayed over New Year's Eve). The Sierra room is bigger than it looks in the pictures. They're about 40 minutes from Yosemite when 140 is open and I thought the lower price was worth the drive time as compared to hotels in Yosemite itself. The one downside was that it took a long time to get hot water in the bathroom.

We Loved our stay at Yosemite Bed and Breakfast. Clay, Joy, Sharon and Wayne were AWESOME hosts. The wildlife you get to see on the deck is amazing, not to mention the company. We enjoyed Clay and Joys dog Miss. Madge. The breakfast was awesome! We definately recommend the bed and breakfast and we will be back. Dwain and Karen

We stayed 2 nights. As Glay said his concept of this cottage is "surprising", I agree. The first surprise was the location. It was in beautiful nature with a lot of animals, birds, deer, etc. We can forget our usual busy and noisy town life while we stay. The second surprise was heart-warming service and great facilities. It is new and clean. The third surprise was the breakfast. Joy & Glay are great cook. We really enjoyed the fresh local foods. We also enjoyed their grandchildren’s polite and cute service. We wish to have another chance to stay this Bed and Breakfast again. Thank you.

We just came back from our California trip and this Bed and Breakfast was one of the nice surprises.The house is in a very nice and peaceful area, in the middle of nature - birds, deers and butterflies were daily sightings. The kids enjoyed the pool and we all enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, good food and Joy and Clay's hospitality. I would love to go back in May-June, when everything is green. Nina

We stayed in the Sierra Room on June 22, 2009 and loved it. The hosts, Joy and Clay were so gracious and friendly. The room was spacious, spotless, quiet and private. I enjoyed reading on a charming wicker couch in a cozy, shady nook near the wimming pool. Breakfast was delicious with ham, thick french toast, homemade wild blueberry syrup, fruit, juice, and coffee while we watched the hummingbirds and wildlife out the window. The rates are reasonable and we are putting it on our list of places to return.

This is a wonderful bed & breakfast. We had such a marvelous time. Joy & Clay are such nice people and Joy is an excellent cook - breakfast was delicious. Their B&B sits at the top of a beautiful tree filled valley and the views are just breathtaking. during our stay we saw deer, wild turkey's, quail, and even a baby woodpecker in one of the trees sizing up just how and when to make it's maiden flight. They have a selection of rooms which are all very nice. We stayed in the cottage, which is a two bedroom suite with a full kitchen and living room. You can't beat the price! The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms spacious, and the kitchen is easy to work in as well. It has a full size refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher - no mini appliances here. They also have a good sized swimming pool and deck where you can laze under the sun and enjoy the afternoon sun. We have made many trips to Yosemite over the years, but this is by far the nicest Bed & Breakfast in the area. We will definitely stay there again.
