Walk to the nearby Lewis Creek (just a half mile away), hit the slopes at Badger Pass Ski Area, ride the scenic Sugar Pine Railroad, or head into downtown Oakhurst or Mariposa for shopping, dining, and more. * Once you pass the Yosemite park gate, it’s about an hour’s scenic drive to Yosemite Valley (the main visitor area). Please note that Yosemite National Park covers a vast area, accommodations inside the park typically host a maximum of 10 guests, experience more road closures during inclement weather, and offer far fewer amenities and conveniences. Oakhurst is the ideal location for guests who value comfort, space, and access to local shops, dining, and services, while remaining conveniently close to the park. 🏠Floor Plan 🪜Top-Level * Bedroom 1: ⭐Luxurious king canopy bed ⭐Dedicated workstation ⭐His & her closets ⭐65” Roku TV * Bedroom 2: ⭐King bed ⭐50” Roku TV ⭐Tree-house like views * Bedroom 3: ⭐Dual king beds ⭐Dual closets ⭐Private balcony overlooking the mountain vista * Bathroom 1: ⭐Large full bath in the hallway right next to bedroom 1 ⭐Double sink vanity ⭐Dedicated makeup station 🛋️Main-Level * Bedroom 4: ⭐Spacious queen bunk bed ⭐Walk-in closet ⭐Makeup station/workstation * Bathroom 2 (ensuite): ⭐Full bath inside bedroom 4 ⭐Dual sink and dual shower heads * Living Room: ⭐65” Roku TV with plenty of seating & natural light * Dining Room: ⭐Formal dining table that seats up to 10 ⭐Bay windows with beautiful forest backdrop * Kitchen & Family Room: ⭐Cooking oil, salt, and pepper ⭐Dish soap and dishwasher pods ⭐Electric fireplace for cozy conversations * Breakfast Nook: ⭐Round dining table seats up to 6 ⭐Breathtaking mountain view * Bathroom 3 (half bath): ⭐Conveniently located for easy access from common areas 🍿Basement-Level * Game Room + Poker Room: ⭐Arcade games (Street Fighter, Pac-Man, NBA-Jam) ⭐Pool table ⭐Ping pong ⭐Air hockey ⭐Foosball ⭐Wet bar with mini fridge * Bedroom 5/Theater Room: ⭐Dual queen beds ⭐120” motorized projector screen ⭐Electric fireplace ⭐Wet bar with mini fridge * Bathroom 4 (ensuite): ⭐Full bath inside bedroom 5/theater room 🪄Magical Experience, All Year Round At Lazy Realm, every season offers something magical.
