Restful Nest B & B Resort

Love Jean and Lois, their property and accommodations and excellent breakfast. We considered a local hotel and are so pleased that we stayed here instead. Breakfast was fantastic– a full and formal spread of great options from homemade sausage and homemade biscuits to excellent Marseille omelet and pancakes. We adventured around the stunning property in the morning. Tons of beautiful photo options. Pool, jacuzzi, and of course Jean and Lois who treat you like family.

Lois and Jon were so loving and kind. After a three day stay we felt as if we stayed with an Aunt and Uncle we had never met. I love these people. They really are happy and authentic. Be prepared to eat! The guest house was the perfect retreat for our first anniversary. The deer each morning and evening were a delight. Lois and Jon– thank you for making us feel welcome in your home. We feel blessed to have met you. Looking forward to our return. J&S
I want more of your homemade sage sausage!

What an amazing place to stay and eat! The accommodations here are amazing. So clean and comforting. Rooms are spacious and very well kept.
Lois is an amazing cook and a wonderful host. The breakfast they serve is no less than spectacular. They make sure all culinary restrictions are taken care of. The food never stops coming.
Jon is so entertaining. We were laughing the whole time at breakfast. He is also very knowledgeable about what to see around the property. Also watching him feed the local deer is amazing.
Great place to stay and can’t wait to return!

Wow! Is all I can say about my visit to Mariposa.
Lois and John are wonderful hosts. Lois is a fabulous cook and set’s a formal table with the biggest FULL breakfast I have ever seen in a B&B. We used the hot tub and the swimming pool at the end of a long day in Yosemite National Park. They made us a goodie bag each day and loaned us some binoculars for Yosemite too. It’s quiets on their 10 acres. We stayed int the carriage house above the garage which sleeps 6 comfortably but there were only two of us. Very clean! very Beautiful! Very comfortable! And the hosts were wonderful! They even invited our daughter to eat with us as she was passing through! Thanks for that Lois!
I would definitely go back for some of this down home, family style, kind of living.
2 thumbs up (WAY UP) for each of us.

Jean and Lois are awesome human being. The pool and spa are delightful. Come visit!

Pool, hot-​tub and deer, foxes, bats, every day by the porch … And a fabulous and huge home cooked breakfast every day at 8am. Super hospitable and working to cater to you every need, our host surely love their job. Able to cater to all diets, gluten free, vegan, etc. Thanks so much!!! It’s about a 1hr drive to the park gate, and longer to the main features, but we manages just fine! Today was 2hrs each way to the amazing Glacier point, but well worth the trip and we also hiked to Sentinel Dome which was the highlight of Yosemite for me.

What a wonderful b&b! Hospitality at its best! we had a wonderful stay, very comfy bed and a spectacular breakfast! This place feels like your visiting family.

A friend stayed with the Restful Nest and was so well cared for that I think she’s going to become a regular. The hosts were adorable and made many concessions to accomodate my friend. The rooms was comfortable and what a pretty setting. She loved it and hopefully my friend will be spending more time in Mariposa!

Lois and John gave my fiancé and I one of the most memorable bed & breakfast experiences we have ever had. from her home cooked meals, the comfortable and clean environment, to the warm conversations we shared with one another, Christian and I felt as though we were at home! It was an added treat that when my fiancé proposed to me on Half Dome, Lois and John gave us a tasty cheesecake along with some very valuable advise!
we will absolutely be returning soon!

We didn’t know much about Yosemite when we went there earlier this week. Hadn’t been there in 35 years. Turns out we could’ve been closer, but we couldn’t have chosen a more interesting B & B.
The food and the hospitality are what really stand out here. Host Lois knows how to get along with anybody, and knows her way around a kitchen like nobody else! Breakfast is at 8 am and stretches until 9 or so. The delicious dishes just keep on coming.
I’m difficult to cook for, since I’m allergic to both milk and wheat. Astonishingly, she made accommodations, cooking gluten-​free brownies (fabulous!), gluten-​free pancakes, and even going out and buying my brand of gluten-​free bread! Don’t expect to lose weight here!
The accommodations themselves are fine. A 10-​minute drive outside of Mariposa, but the rusticness is nice. And the drive from Mariposa to Yosemite Village is 70 minutes or so. But the lodges and motels along Highway 149 looked pretty standard, and when we stopped at one and ate dinner there, the food was pretty forgettable.

very nice couple. We felt like we stayed with family. beds are very comfy breakfast was great!
