Outstanding Guesthouse & Great Surroundings

Our one week stay at Stonehaven was unequivocally one of the best experiences we have had at a rented guesthouse. And without hesitation, we would recommend it to anybody seeking private lodging in the Yosemite area.
Both inside and out, we found this property exceptionally maintained, spotlessly clean, very private, and well-designed for its Sierra surroundings. After a day of hiking and exploring Yosemite and surrounding areas, we couldn't wait to get back to Stonehaven to either relax outdoors among the numerous available decks and terraces with ample views of nature (jack rabbits, deer, wild turkeys, ect) or lounge indoors within its sumptuous open space living room-dining area. Even the kitchen seemed luxurious. Meanwhile, the two first-floor bedrooms (both of which have attached baths and sliders to outside decks) were sunny, clean and very comfortable and the upstairs loft was particularly treasured as private space by my daughter.
Location-wise we were extremely happy with Stonehaven - offering both proximity to Mariposa where we could stock up or eat out and easy access to Rt 140 and nearby Yosemite area.
And tor those who appreciate gardens- this is definitely the place to be - Despite the obvious existing arid conditions, the garden areas at Stonehaven were very impressive, well-maintained and provided the added benefit of attracting numerous hummingbirds and butterflies while we were there.
And Finally - we found the owner to be very accessible, friendly and very helpful on information on the area. We also appreciated his helpful labeling and instructions inside the house .
In short, if we could have packed up this house and surroundings and brought it home with us, we would have. It was that good of an experience.
