About the host
Hosted by Natalie Zensius
Hi and very nice to meet you!
My husband Jon and I are looking forward to welcoming you to our river house in the woods and doing everything we can to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
I grew up in England, and moved to California for art school in my early twenties, having spent time on the east coast first. I’m now in marketing. Jon is a third-generation Californian and runs a design-build business.
We’re conscious of our home environment and setting it up well. The house is in a beautiful setting that’s secluded and quiet and provides everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Some of our most cherished times have been spent here–from gatherings with friends and family, to quiet, romantic weekends, with just the two of us.
We hope to have the pleasure to meet you and help you enjoy your time in Mariposa and Yosemite as much as we do! Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions.

Why they chose this property
When we’re not working, we enjoy traveling, both around the States and internationally, and use AirBnB as much as we can. We also love being out in nature and get away to camp and backpack frequently. We divide our time between the San Francisco bay area and Mariposa. Yosemite is one of our favorite places in the world and we’re passionate about sharing our knowledge, appreciation and love for the park and surrounding areas.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this property because of its proximity to Yosemite and all the outdoor opportunities close by. We also love the town of Mariposa and all the fun places to eat and drink there.
The property itself is quiet and secluded and we have 1/4 mile of river running through it. When we don't feel like leaving, we can hike and swim and relax on the river. It's a great retreat in and of itself.
