Come enjoy the mountain views near Bass Lake & Yosemite National Park in the Sierra National Forest. Built by Grandpa from reclaimed barn wood & wooden winery trays, & decorated by Grandma with a lifetime collection of antiques and family photos, this house feels the way a rustic cabin in the mountains should. Whether you come in Spring/Autumn for a hike, crisp clean air and star gazing, or for a day at the lake on a hot Summer day our cabin makes the perfect cozy base camp. Fun fact! The south side of Bass Lake, near the cabin, is where the 1988 classic movie 'The Great Outdoors' with Dan Aykroid and John Candy was filmed. We are perfectly located for a visit to Bass Lake or Yosemite National Park. The main cabin: The space is perfect for a large group of friends or a family. Our cabin has a large cozy living room with plenty of seating, a wood burning fireplace, AC, and Grandpa's wet bar (the man knew how to have fun *BYOB) in the corner. The living room is stocked with toys, games, and puzzles. Off of the living room is a large deck with umbrellas, outdoor seating and a propane grill. From the patio nature lovers may see deer, wild turkeys, lizards, fox, quail, eagles, hawks, woodpeckers, bluejays, and hummingbirds. The sunroom off the living room is the perfect place to read. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need and has a large dining room table. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and a soaking tub. A full bathroom is located off the hall and is stocked with all the basics for your use. The upstairs bedroom has a king sized bed, AC, windows galore (with blackout curtains to sleep in) and a sliding glass door leading to a balcony with a view for miles. Under the stairs you'll find a washer and drier. The cabin has a strong wifi connection and we have a smart TV in the living room. No cable TV, but feel free to log into your streaming accounts! **We are currently remodeling the kitchen but doing it one piece at a time so it doesn’t impact guests. Right now you’ll see we pulled the oven out but we bought a brand new temporary one. The kitchen is still fully functional :) The bunkhouse: In the bunkhouse you'll find two bedrooms joined by a half bath. Each bedroom has a queen sized bed and open closet. Based on guest feedback we now have AC in the bunkhouse rooms! The property: We are on the boarder of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It's a no hunting annex and is usually pretty quiet so you'll likely see wild animals (mostly deer and turkeys). The land beyond the garage does not belong to us. Our property is over an acre with plenty of space to park vehicles or a boat. At 2 miles away, Wishon Point is the closest boat launch on Bass Lake. You'll have full access to our home :) I visit the cabin as often as I can, and have friends in the area, but more often than not I won't be available in person. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns though :) I have a friend who checks on the cabin regularly and people to reach out to if needed. Nature: Bass Lake is a ten minute drive from the cabin, Manzanita Lake (much smaller and good for small children and fishing) is a five minute drive. Yosemite National Park- Travel along scenic route 222 to return to 41 N. Follow it for 25 miles to reach the South Gate of Yosemite Park near Big Trees, the most famous sequoia grove in Yosemite. Another 30 miles or so from the park entrance you will find yourself at the world famous Yosemite Valley. Hiking trails are too numerous to list. Bars, shops and restaurants: Oakhurst is the largest town nearby (20 minute drive). In Oakhurst you'll find anything and everything. In Bass Lake you will find popular spots like The Forks, Ducey's On the Lake, a small grocery store, and shops open in the summer months. For a more local feel- North Folk, about 5 minutes away, is a smaller town but has a great family owned organic health food store called the Gnarly Carrot, a small grocery store, and a handful of shops and a pizza joint. Private transportation is essential, there is no public transportation. Much like my grandparents, the cabin has personality. It's eclectic and my grandmother (now 102 years young) loves everything in it. Please be respectful while making yourself at home. Some items are delicate due to age. We provide lots of games, toys and books to play with so the kiddos can have fun with As long as we have firewood, you have firewood! It's a perk of the stay. I can't guarantee it will be available but so far we have had enough to supply it for our guests :) The neighbors not so guilty request that noise be kept down after 10pm haha Sound travels up here so I understand their request. Please be respectful. Thanks!
