Location: Bass Lake, Yosemite Area, Gold Country & High Sierra, California, USA View Map
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 1 Bath (Sleeps 5)
Keywords: Lakefront Cabin
This property is truly lakefront with a private boat dock. In the summer time you can enjoy swimming, boating, kayaking and other water activities. There are lots of hiking trails. Yosemite National Park is only 20 minutes away - 1 hour to Yosemite Valley and Badger Pass. In the winter you can go skiing, snowboarding or cross country skiing at Badger Pass located in Yosemite.
The property offered is the guest house only. The main house is for our personal use. However, the main house will not be occupied during your stay and you will have sole use of the dock, beach and grass area while you are there. We are located down at the falls end of the lake with an unobstructed, beautiful view of the lake. We completely remodeled the guest house when we built the main house with all new appliances including stackable washer and dryer. It is approximately 900 square feet so it would be perfect for one family. It is a 2 story home with a very narrow stairwell.
We have recently received notice that due to the need for seismic upgrading of the dam at the other end of the lake, Bass Lake will not be filled to historic levels. For at least the summers of 2010 and 2011 the water level will be kept approximately 10 feet below maximum. Luckily for us, as of the beginning of May, we had 4 1/2 feet of water at the end of our dock. This should be plenty for keeping your boat at our dock. This level is planned to be maintained through Labor Day. Other properties are not so lucky. There are a number of docks that were high and dry in May and we would recommend contacting any other rental property owners that you might be considering renting from to assure adequate water levels at their dock. Feel free to email us with any questions about the lake level.
PLEASE CHECK OUR RATES AND CALENDAR BEFORE EMAILING US. WE DO KEEP OUR CALENDAR UPDATED. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT START BOOKING FOR THE SUMMER UNTIL APRIL 1st, AFTER OUR FAMILY HAS FIGURED OUT OUR SUMMER SCHEDULE. THANK YOU.

Why the Owner Chose Bass Lake
Bass Lake is a short enough drive from Southern California to come up for a long weekend. Depending on the season there is just so much to do it makes for a great family getaway. With Yosemite near by, fishing, summer boating on the lake, spring wildflowers, fall hikes, and occassional winter snow aroung the cabin, there is always something to do.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The private dock is very nice and convenient to have. We have a nice beach and a beautiful lawn area. There are expansive lake views with Goat Mountain in the background. We are close enough to swim or paddle to the Falls Beach and go inner tubing down the falls. Hiking up the falls to Devil's Slide is also a nice morning adventure. We have recently completed a major renovation and have modernized all appliances and kitchen area.

We stayed here August 2010. We had a great time! The guest house was perfect for our family. The price was right and we loved the location. We wanted it for 2011 but it was booked. Next year I will book in advance. Thank you for the memories. Marlana

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. Fantastic views and we loved spending time on the decks of the main home. The kitchen was just right, with lots of cupboard and counter space and all the gadgets you need for cooking. It was clean and comfortable. We hope to return! Thanks!

The rare above and beyond kind of property owners

This property owner went above and beyond with compassion and understanding. Unfortunately we didn't make it to Bass Lake because I tore my Achilles tendon just weeks before we rented the property. Being the mom of 4 it would have been too much for me even if I just sat on the beach with all the shopping packing etc... The owner put the rental back on the available calender before we even hung up. We were not eligible for a refund because it was within 30 days of our arrival date. The owner kept me posted and rented the guest house out within a week after I had my surgery and less than 2 weeks of our arrival date. I also received a refund check in only 2 days. These are the kind of property owners that I want to rent from. It seems to me they are not in it for the money even though its a business for them. She did all that for me while she and her family were leaving the country I am assuming on their family vacation. I sure hope to do business with these folks in the near future. It looks like they also have a place in Hawaii and Tahoe. I pray the good Lord continues to bless them abundantly. I am sure you will enjoy your stay knowing they are honest and compassionate people wish there was more of them around. Tiffany
