This is really a unique place - in a good way. Our room was large, clean and comfortable with parking right outside the door. Downtown Mariposa is just a couple minutes drive, so we easily found two nice restaurants for dinner. Driving into the neighborhood isn't scenic, but the house is on a quiet street. And the best part is Helene's wonderful breakfast - a combination of fruit, a pastry and a hearty egg dish each morning. Getting to Mariposa from either the Big Oak Flat or the Wawona entrances to Yosemite is beautiful, although if Yosemite is your destination, you are over an hour from either entrance.
