Designer Barndominium | Family Fun Game Lounge

Tucked into the Sierra foothills just outside Yosemite, this modern barndominium pairs clean design with a game room built for slow afternoons and late nights. Wake up to mountain views, spend the day in the park, and come home to ping pong, cornhole, mini hoops, and more. The space This designer barndominium in Coarsegold blends modern style with mountain ease — a home built as much for slowing down as for adventuring out. Guests consistently call out the decor, cleanliness, and small extra touches like the coffee bar, and the home has already earned Guest Favorite status with a perfect 5.0 rating. The layout: 2 bedrooms, 3 beds (6-guest capacity) 3 full bathrooms Full kitchen Dedicated game room (ping pong, cornhole, mini hoops, board games) Dedicated workspace Free on-site parking Wifi throughout TV The setting: Coarsegold sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Madera County, along Highway 41 on the way toward Yosemite — a quieter, more residential alternative to staying right at the park's edge. The foothill elevation and open skies make for genuinely great stargazing after dark, and the town's small-town character (a historic museum, local eateries, and easy highway access) gives guests a relaxed home base between park days. Hosted by Yosemite Collective, a local property management team with deep roots in the Sierra Nevada / Yosemite corridor, so guests are supported by hosts who know the area inside and out. Guest access Guests have full, private access to the entire home for the length of their stay — both bedrooms, all three bathrooms, the kitchen, and the dedicated game room are exclusively yours. Free parking is available on-site, and wifi plus a dedicated workspace are available throughout the home. Other things to note Things to Know: Yosemite National Park & Nearby Getting into the park As of 2026, Yosemite has paused its entrance reservation system, so a timed reservation is not required to drive in — but you will still need a valid park entrance pass (purchased at any of the five entrance stations, online in advance, or covered by an America the Beautiful / Yosemite annual pass). Arriving early — ideally before 8 am — and visiting midweek will make for the smoothest entry and the best parking in Yosemite Valley, especially during summer. Where you are, and what's close Coarsegold is a gateway community — a comfortable, quieter option than staying right at the park boundary, with easy highway access to everything north: Oakhurst — about 10–15 minutes, the region's hub for dining, shopping, groceries, and the Yosemite/Madera County visitor center Yosemite National Park (south entrance) — roughly 35–45 minutes via Highway 41 Coarsegold Historic Museum & Village — just a few minutes away, with 19th-century buildings and local Gold Rush–era history Bass Lake — about 25–30 minutes, good for boating, fishing, and lakeside dining Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino — a few minutes away, for guests who want dining, entertainment, or a change of pace one evening Yosemite Valley (Half Dome, El Capitan, Yosemite Falls) — roughly 2 hours from the house once inside the park Right in the neighborhood Coarsegold's foothill setting and open skies make it a good spot for stargazing after a day in the park — the game room and quiet evenings pair naturally with a slower pace once the sun goes down. Seasonal notes Summer and holiday weekends bring heavier traffic and full trailhead parking lots inside Yosemite — early starts and weekday visits go a long way. Because Coarsegold sits further from the park entrance than some area stays, guests should plan for roughly 45 minutes to an hour of driving time each way to the park — a good fit for those who want a relaxed home base rather than a doorstep-to-trailhead stay.
