Mariposa can be considered a fairly remote place to reach. However, the Holmestead (location for the ceremony) is very close to downtown (7 minutes if you drive like my sister) and is the gateway to Yosemite National Park. Wildflowers should be in full bloom so be prepared for additional tourists this time of year. There are two airports nearby: Fresno (1 hour away) and Merced (45 minutes away). There are car rentals available at the airports. For those who are driving from wherever you call home, if you have campers or tents we would love to invite you to camp on our property. If you wish to camp please let us know in advance; there is a lot of room but not infinite flat ground. Google Maps gives accurate directions, just load them before you lose cell service! We do recommend you to reserve soon before prices rise for the spring flower blooms. There are numerous hotels in town. We were unable to secure group rates.

Hotel

Best Western Plus Yosemite Way Station Motel

4999 California 140
Mariposa, CA 95338
 (209) 966-7545

This hotel is the closest to the property (3.5 miles away) and is on the very edge of downtown so walking distance to our few bars and restaurants! This hotel is pet friendly with a weight limit of 80lbs per dog, maximum 2 dogs per room.

Hotel

River Rock Inn

4993 7th Street
Mariposa, CA 95338
 (209) 966-5793

Owned by a local friend and neighbor of the family, and a wonderfully cozy inn with a patio and local coffee shop in the lobby. When the inn originally re-opened in the early 2000's (by a different family friend), Caitlin and her mom painted the rooms! Don't worry, they've been repainted by more professional services since ;-) The River Rock Inn is in the middle of downtown so also walking distance to bars and restaurants, and still a short drive to the property for the ceremony. We currently have all the rooms reserved for the wedding weekend, but will prioritize family first for these rooms.

Hotel

The Monarch Inn

5059 California 140
Mariposa, CA 95338
 (209) 966-4288

One of the newer hotels built in Mariposa, so I have no clue what it looks like on the inside, but I do know they have a pool and bar! This hotel is also downtown for walking distance to bars and restaurants.
