Simply amazing, beautiful and cosy. - I cannot possibly tell you how amazing this place is in words. It's a must if your visiting Yosemite. We've been road tripping around California and to come here after... read more the city tours in San Francisco etc is just amazing.
Its a charming b&b and your made to feel at home instantly. Mike is so lovely and kind and I briefly spoke to his wife on the phone on arrival she sounds so lovely to. Penny makes breakfast each morning and it's delicious! Hot and cold options with fresh orange, coffee, tea whatever you like.
The b&b is just beautiful from the patio outside where we sit and watch the dear and birds. To the games room where you can play pool or put on an old school movie. I just love it.
I even started teaching myself to play piano in the living room.
The views around the house are just beautiful and there are humming birds outside that Mike cares fir and I can just watch them fir ages at the window.
Our bed is super comfy and cosy. Waking up to birds tweeting in the morning in the woods is just out of this world.
Cannot fault a single thing. Thank you for an amazing stay.
It takes about 1 hour to get to the Yosemite park bit with the views it's no problem at all do easy. The Mariposa town is small but very cute.

Thankyou highland house for making our stay on our road trip so amazing. :-)

Hidden Gem - Highland House Bed and Breakfast was absolutely amazing!!! It is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the lush greenery and mountains which added to the charm as it was... read more nice to be away from all the hustle an bustle of the cities and really be in nature. The property was stunning and very well kept. Rooms were extremely comfortable and homely. Mike left out a lot of snacks for us for when we got back from Yosemite and the breakfast the next day was delicious. We are vegetarian and Mike and Nora catered for our dietary needs. I cannot fault this B and B in any way! I just wish I could have booked it for longer!! Will definitely be returning here on my next visit to US.
My girlfriend and I stayed in the Highland House, at the very start of May. In total we spent 3 weeks travelling round California/Nevada. The Highland House was by far,... read more the best accommodation we stayed in, throughout the entire trip. I couldn’t have asked more from Mike as a host, he was truly fantastic. The house itself is located in picturesque woodland- I imagine this is what it’s like walking into Narnia. Mike keeps the house spotless and even has a private chef for breakfast. He went out of his way numerous times to ensure his guests were looked after. He also told me he used to be a medic- I believe this is why he’s so conscientious.
Thank you for a wonderful few days Mike.

Like staying at an old friend's house for the weekend - The owner (Mike) was so kind and welcoming that you felt like you were staying at an old friend's house for the weekend. Thanks to it's location, it's a... read more very calming place to stay. It's a bit of a drive away from Yosemite, but most hotel options outside the park are anyway and considering the quality you get here, that was fine.
The breakfasts were amazing (sat around a table with the rest of the guests) and you may even get to see a hummingbird or two in the garden!
Fantastic, perfect host and wonderful stay - Mike really was the most PERFECT host. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him late into the night about our trip so far, and about so many other different things. The... read more hospitality was next to none - the most incredible breakfasts were served both days, with different and incredibly tasty foods both days. The home-made cherry pie was a highlight for me, but in all honesty all the food was beautiful. We were given home-made cookies and drinks for our journey onwards, and nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel SO at home, encouraged to help ourselves to ANYTHING. The room was so comfortable and cosy, the location nestled deep in the woodlands was fantastic and being able to watch the animals and birds roam free was wonderful. It really was the most idyllic stay, I just wish we could have stayed longer. I feel through life you meet some wonderful people who leave a mark on you forever, I really do feel that Mike did this with us - he made our trip so much more personal and special, and I would love to go back again one day.
Outstanding place - My wife and I stayed there for our 40th anniversary in October. The place is very comfortable and accommodating and the owner and staff couldn’t be any more helpful and... read more friendly. It’s an easy drive to just about everywhere and lots of things to do and see. I give it a five star rating because there’s no way to rate it a six. Would definitely stay again
Wonderful host, lovely place - and you can cook! - This place is special. Unlike any other B&B we’ve visited, you have full access to the house, including the kitchen and even the grill outside. After a day at the... read more park we were able to stop at the Pioneer grocery store in Mariposa - which was a pleasant surprise - and buy food to grill steak and cook sides for a dinner. Michael shows you around when you arrive and gives you access to spices, condiments, etc. in the kitchen. We cleaned up and left the place in good order so that Karen could make us a delicious breakfast feast the next morning. The entire stay was delightful. I wish we would have planned to stay here longer!

Definitely the place to be when you want to spend some night in Mariposa.
Just outstanding - Thai is an amazing B&B the position is just so peaceful and quiet and right in the woods, with wild Turkey and hummingbirds in the grounds plus the occasional bear(... read more didn't see one). It's about an hour or so from Yosemite but worth staying here just for the surroundings and the service you get here. Breakfast is stunning and the owner is great. He shows you round when you arrive and you can help yourself to any food from fridge and pantry and soft drinks. They have items for you to take for a picnic lunch and just everything you can think of and more. He is also very knowledgeable re area and further afield with great tips on places to eat or go to. Bedroomsl was lovely like rest of house. Wish had longer here really as can't fault it. No phone signal but WiFi is okish and free. Pool table and games are available as is owners vast array of books on local area.
Excelent place and Mr. Mike (owner) was very good - Place is perfect. The house is near Yosemite. (One hour) and 5’ to Mariposa. Calm, peaceful, and the hospitality of Mike was superb.
Despite Yosemite is the must to... read more do place to visit, Mariposa is also a beautiful town with restaurants and good places.
Excellent choice
Forest retreat - Very comfortable accommodation, with full use of a large house. It was some way from Yosemite, and so we left before the 8.30 breakfast, but we had full access to... read more the kitchen to make our own breakfast and snacks. It was equidistant from the west and south entrances to Yosemite and so good for a loop drive.
Serene and Peaceful with Welcoming Vibe... - Comfortably accommodating house with friendly hosts. Only able to stay for breakfast one morning but it was delicious!! After magic but exhausting days it always felt like coming home. Hosts... read more offered soda, fruit, you name it whenever wanted. Always attentive and good conversation if desired.
Best host ever, amazing place to stay. - We spent two nights here on a holiday weekend trip to Yosemite. We couldn't have stayed anywhere better. Mike is the kindest, most generous host you could imagine - and... read more gave us brilliant tips and suggestions for our trip. The house is gorgeous and such a nice place to come back to and chill in the evenings, either in the garden with the wild turkeys and starry dark skies, or playing pool in the den. Breakfast was awesome, and on the day we needed to leave early to get to the park early, Mike set us up with food to pack a picnic for the day. Really close to Mariposa with lots of great dinner spots. We will 100% be back. Thank you Mike!
Stayed at Highland Inn for 5 nights as part of a Californian Road Trip, fantastic base to explore Yosemite.
Quite the most wonderful place to stay - a little... read more off the beaten track but so worth it. The peace and tranquility of the mountains of Sierra Nevada is quite simply breathtaking. The house itself is so welcoming and comfortable, Mike and his team are just superb - have never had Bluebery Muffins like thise baked by Nora.
Five stars does not do justice to the standards of Highland Lodge it quite simply the most wonderful B&B in the world.
Cannot wait to return

We would love to go back again!
