Very Nice Cabin

My brother and I took our mother to this cabin in Mid-May in order to visit Yosemite National Park. The cabin had all the amenities of home, including a full kitchen, a very good outdoor gas grill and a nice hot tub. The cabin is not large at two bedrooms and a sofa-sleeper in the living room, but it worked well for our needs and we all seemed to sleep well. The cabin is just about 30 minutes from the south entrance to Yosemite and about another 45 minutes to Yosemite valley (there are over 100 S curves in this stretch of road, which made for tedious driving after a long day hiking in the valley). With that said, the cabin was good to come home to, very private and comfortable, with great views of Bass Lake.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

Owner response: Thanks, John. We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our cabin and your visit to Yosemite. Yes, the road into Yosemite Valley requires fortitude! Our guests always enjoy returning back to the cabin and the hot tub after a long day in Yosemite.

Thank you so much for providing a great place to stay in Bass Lake. The cabin was clean, bright and I appreciated the wood burning stove ready for me to light. The girls enjoyed the hot tub on the deck at night and first thing in the morning. We enjoyed the view and even had a visit from a little hummingbird. We had a great time!

Great Winter Hideaway

Review Submitted 01/10/13

We found this cabin wonderfully clean, private, cute and cozy. It was big enough for my family of 6 (kids ages 8 to 14). It was the perfect base for our winter Yosemite exploring. (If you have never seen Yosemite in winter you should at least once. Breathtaking. One day we explored the valley floor. Another we spend skiing at Badger Pass--very family-friendly ski resort.) The hot tub was perfect for after-ski warming up and relaxing of sore muscles. I have to admit that when we first arrived I was a bit surprised that the sole source of heat was the wood stove, but we soon found out how correct the owners were when they said it is sufficient to heat the whole house. There was something very rustic about having all our heat come from a wood fire. We would load the stove full of wood before leaving for adventures in the morning, and the house was nice and toasty upon our return. We looked forward to our cozy family time in the evenings. Stargazing in the hot tub was wonderful. Highly recommended!

Owner response: We're so glad that your whole family enjoyed their winter vacation at our cabin. One of the best things about visiting Yosemite in the wintertime is, along with the incredible beauty, the fact that there are practically no other people there! No traffic; no crowds; you can have the park to yourselves.

We had such a wonderful time at your cabin! We were celebrating my husband's 40th and our daughter's 1st birthdays and we really couldn't have wished for a better stay. The accommodation was so comfortable and just as described. The location was superb, we were able to walk down to the lake where our 3-yr old son loved throwing stones into the water! We also swam each day in the lake which was incredible. The hot tub was a welcome treat at the end of the day after we got the kids to sleep! We enjoyed a fantastic day in Yosemite, big burgers at Miller's Landing and all in all we can't wait to return :)

We made the right chose. This was our first time to America and not wanting a package type fly/drive we opted to plan and book our own accomadation on this 3 week vacation in California. After chossing the Bass Lake area for a 3 night stay and looking at various properties on the VRBO website we chose this cabin based on the reviews, photographs, and the size of our party (two adults and two boys -10 and 12 years) etc. We were not disappointed. The place is fantanstic, very good value for money and just as described with loads of room for us all. The owners were great in all communications, the property was clean with everything you could want to make the stay a great experience. The decking makes a great place for some al fresco dining with a great view and even better with a Californian red to hand. The hottub is also a nice touch and was ready and waiting on our arrival. Although the cabin is just off the Shore Rd, with other properties near by, the cabin feels isolated and not overlooked and does not suffer from any intrusive road noise. Also, as both our kids play Basketball, the basket ball hoop and area was a bonus. During our stay, the area was in the midst of a heatwave (100+) and with Bass lake on your doorstep it was good to cool off, rent a boat to take the kids tubing and generally relax at one of the lakeside beaches. We ate in during our 3 night stay, but there are cafe/resturants at the resorts around the lakeshore. The nearest town of Oakhurst is an easy drive with Fastfood, Resturants and Supermarkets. A great place to stay if you plan to explore Yosemite. Its a approx 90 -120 min drive to Yosemite village, but a lovely drive and hopefully if you leave early in the morning you may see a Black Bear as we did - One of our holiday highlights!!! Overall an excellent property and would book again if we were to visit this area again. Definitely on the 'recommend' to family and friends list.

Owner response: We are especially gratified when our guests from the UK and abroad have a great time at our cabin. Thank you for your thorough and complimentary review! How exciting that you saw a black bear too (from the safety of your car, that is)!

I spent four days at this cabin with my brother's family. Watching the moonlight reflection on the Bass lake from cabin patio was indescribable. The cabin was clean, spacious, well-equipped (even the board games!!) and quiet. I stayed here to see the Yosemite, but it was so tempting to stay at the cabin all day. It was that nice! I recommended to at least five people after returning from the trip. Of course, I will visit again in the future.

Cosy little lake house!...

Review Submitted 08/02/12

We were so pleased, and excited when we entered the little lake house! Beautifully furnished, and the kids LOVED the hot tub on the deck. The house was immaculate! All the instructions were very helpfull, and we all wished for another day. The lake was a little low this time of year, and the street below the house had a bit of traffic, but it was all a non- issue. We rented a pontoon boat from Millers Landing, which was a blast. I'd really recommend this beautiful little quite house to anyone!....Thanks so much! The Big Sur Crew!

I rented this home for a family reunion at Bass Lake. Most of my relatives stayed at the Pines Chalets, and I have to say they were a bit jealous. The location was close, but private and the cabin was so comfortable, roomy, very clean, and very bright. The hot tub was used early in the morning and night, since it did get a little warm during the day. We used the AC during the day, but turned it off and enjoyed the nice cool nights with the windows open. The beautiful black tail deer visited us as well. We live on a ranch in Idaho, so this was right up our alley, without neighbors. The beaches and lake are very close by. Forks Burgers just down the road was great. The description and pictures were right on, and Wendy was great with quick return emails. I would for sure rent this property again. Thank you Wendy.

Amazing location! This cabin is within a few minutes walk to the lake, just a few minutes drive to a number of fun restaurants and boat rentals, and about an hour's drive to Yosemite Valley. The setting is gorgeous, we spent several evenings in the hot tub looking at the stars and the lake. The cabin was very clean and provided all the amenities we could think of. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone who wants a fun and cozy vacation!

We had a wonderful time at Bass lake with everything from the fresh air to the lake to the incredible sights and hikes in Yosemite only to be rewarded with a relaxing soak in the hot tub after an active day. The cabin was clean and felt like home. I truly appreciated the tips and directions for near by establishments. Thank you Wendy and Mark for sharing you adorable 2nd home with us. We hope to be back.

Yosemite trip

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonder time. Hot tub was perfect after hiking all day in Yosemite. Wood burning stove was nice and warmed the house perfectly. Beds are comfy, kitchen has everything you need, lots of games, book and a nice little collection of movies. The drive to the entrance of Yosemite is about 20-25 minutes and then the drive into the valley takes 40-45 minutes. Perfect location if you don't want to spend at least double to stay within the park area. Would definitively go back to this cabin and do more of the amazing hikes at Yosemite. Thank you

Wonderful Thanksgiving vacation

Guest Hoosier Hikers

Review Submitted 12/17/11

Four of us stayed in this cabin during the Thanksgiving vacation and had a wonderful time. The cabin was furnished with just about any and everything we could want or need. We prepared a full Thanksgiving meal without lacking for anything. The setting is just beautiful, even with the lake drained for repairs to the dam. Tall, fragrant pine trees all around and spectacular views of the mountains from the deck hot tub. Also, despite other houses in the area, this place feels very private. The day trip to Yosemite Valley is a lengthy drive over twisty roads but well worth the effort.. The town of Oakhurst is quaint. We had a very good dinner at Crab Cakes Restaurant (which serves an interesting combination of seafood and bakery goodies). The cabin owners are very nice people and we didn't have any problems. I would recommend it.

Beautiful spot.Very cozy comfortable for a couple. It's perfect for a 2nd honeymoon (25th anniversary) - nicely decorated, quiet, secluded location, beautiful views, inviting hot tub. It was exactly what we were looking for. A bit far from Yosemite, (1 hour, 20 mins) but most places are. Also highly recommend El Cid's for mexican food just North of Oakhurst.

Owner response: We're glad that it was perfect for you. Honeymooners and Second Honeymooners really enjoy our cozy cabin. Just to clarify: the drive to the entrance to Yosemite is 20 minutes. Once inside the park gates, depending upon road conditions and traffic, it can take from 40-60 minutes to drive down into Yosemite Valley.

First off, thanks so much to Wendy for all the helpful suggestions and emails. We found everything we needed inside the cabin and plenty of info on the local area. This cabin was really a "home away from home". Clean property. Found plenty of equipment in the kitchen. Loved using the gas BBQ for a few of our meals as well. If you stay here, note that the stove heats up quickly so watch your food carefully! The food to "share" was great to have handy - we used a little and left a quite a few condiments of ours for the next guests. Also liked the eating area in the kitchen. Beds were very comfy and there was tons of storage. Wish there were pictures of the baths here, they were really nice! Full sized washer/dryer was great. Plenty of water pressure and hot water too. The living room furniture was very inviting. The work table was perfect for our laptops and there were books, games, and movies to keep kids entertained. The broadband internet connection was really good and the cable TV worked. We didn't connect to the WIFI in order to give any feedback. (Absolutely no T-mobile service at Bass Lake or Yosemite, but it did work in Oakhurst.) Hot tub was heavenly. We used the portable cooler for the afternoon heat and it worked well. I have praise for the location as well. Being at the north end of the lake made it easy to get to the main road to go to either to town or into Yosemite. It is a full hour drive to the Valley up a windy mountain road, but you really can't get much closer unless you stay inside the park for many more $$$. Mariposa Grove and Wowona are close and worth visiting and hiking around. We also day tripped to Sequoia/Kings Canyon - 2.5 hours drive each way. The driveway was steep gravel with a hairpin turn, but we got up it no problem with a full sized car. Might be a little tricky when there is snow though.There was plenty of parking by the front door. Tip: Follow owner's directions to the house. Our GPS sent us to the wrong side of the lake! Overall we had a great time. Great $ value for the area as well. Thanks again for making our first VRBO rental a success - we will definitely use the service again. Hoping we can return to Yosemite sometime. It is truly a hiker's paradise and a week just isn't long enough. It would be cool to see the waterfalls at their best in May, though they were surprisingly good this year for September. Also, we had a good Lake view off the deck even though the water level was pretty low.

My wife and I did a trip to Yosemite as part of of honeymoon through CA and were intent on staying some where near the park but not inside. This property was perfect! The cabin is very close to the south entrance of the park and about an hour's drive from the Valley - which provided a beautifully scenic drive through Yosemite. The cabin felt remote and yet it was a short drive to the small town nearby for everything we needed (groceries, a margarita after a long day of hiking, and a last minute effort to find a pack for the park). The view of the lake from the back deck is the best way to spend a sunset - especially from the hot tub. My wife and I had a hard time convincing ourselves to come inside. With the view, the hot tub, and a grill and table to make dinner, we had everything we needed to enjoy the quiet nights. The cabin itself is in great shape: clean and spacious; the WiFi worked well; we never used the television - but there was a movie library; plenty of books and games for entertainment. We really enjoyed making breakfast in the stocked kitchen and eating in the wonderful little nook. There is also a large washer and dryer which was useful after several days of exploring Yosemite. The owners were responsive and we got our deposit back immediately. The stay was a welcome retreat and we'd highly recommend it.

This was a good place to stay, we were very pleased with the property. The location was good - away from Yosemite but not too far to travel in especially to Sequoia Grove. Wouldn't want to make the trip everyday but the great thing about Bass Lake was the little beaches and the chance to hire kayaks and paddle boards at Millers Landing so we were just as happy around the lake. Not too far to Oakhurst either to get groceries. Owners description was accurate, and clean and tidy, but not so fancy you would worry about letting the children loose inside. The kitchen was well equipped and the stove ect pretty straight forward to use. We used the hot tub a couple of times, which was great, and the basketball hoop (though we were a little worried about losing the ball over the fence and down the hill!). Found the croquet set as well. I was worried about the description of the drive before arriving but this wasn't a problem and there was plenty of room to park the car outside the cabin. The cabin was very hot when we were there - stupidly I didn't spot the A/C unit until we were due to leave. I was surprised we were expected to wash the sheets and towels, I shouldn't have been as this was clearly set out by the owners, but this took no time in reality as the large washer and dryer were so efficient.

Owner response: We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our vacation home and that you and your children availed yourselves of some of the extra features like basketball, croquet, etc. Both Bass Lake and Yosemite have a lot to offer visitors to the area. We just ask that you get the sheets and towels started in the wash before you leave so that the cleaner will have time to finish them up before the next guests arrive. This is a common practice among cabin owners because there is a short turn-around time. Thank you again for being great guests! We love having visitors from abroad!

We had a great time in your home at Bass Lake, a real home from home experience with everything we could have needed. Kids loved the basketball hoop and spent hours playing in the garden. We also took a boat on lake for a day and did some tubing. We will certainly consider coming back for longer (and outside of a national holiday period) next time we visit California.

Nice Place - just didn't like having to do the laundry

Guest Linda

Review Submitted 06/24/11

My husband and I stayed 3 days and really enjoyed the place. The pictures show just how it looks. The master bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well stocked (even things like foil, coffee, spices, sugar, salt, pepper) and the hot tub nice and warm. But, we do have two complaints. First, the bed appeared to be made, but no sheets were on it. They were under some extra blankets sitting on top of the bed. So, we were tired and climbing into bed and discovered we had to make it. That has never happened to us before. Then when leaving you have to wash, dry and fold the sheets. Then wash and dry the towels you used (instructions said you could leave the towels drying in the dryer if you needed to leave). And you do pay a cleaning fee, which I thought meant they cleaned not me. We have stayed at several VRBO places and have never been asked to do the laundry. Not sure we will go back to this place because of those things, but if that doesn't bother you then go for it.

Owner response: We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our cozy cabin and we appreciate the feedback. The reason we leave the sheets folded on the beds is to assure the guests that they are fresh and clean. We do ask guests to start washing the sheets and towels on the day of their departure because there is a small window of time between checkout (at 11 am) and check-in (at 3 pm) and we have been very very busy this season. We're sorry that you were inconvenienced.

My family and I had a fantastic time at this cabin.. it's beautiful, serene and peaceful. There are also plenty of things to do for entertainment. The deck with hot tub was where we spent most of our time BBQing and relaxing, enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. Our boys enjoyed the basketball court outside and plenty of places to explore on the hill side. Going down to the lake was very easy, just a quick drive about 1/2 mile. Like the photos display, the cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, beautifully decorated and equipt with everything you may need from home. We can't wait until our next trip and we will recommend this cabin to others we know. Thank you for a lovely memory!

Our stay at the cabin can only be described as delightful. The cabin has a true homely feel, everywhere was lovely and clean and nicely presented but it was a "home" and not a sterile hotel room. It was lovely to have comfy furniture to relax on, games to play, films to watch and full range of equipment in the kitchen to use. The cabin was just as described and shown on the photo's We used the cabin as a base from which to visit Yosemite and although it was a drive away we would definitely stay again as the whole family enjoyed our stay. The cabin has great views and is just a short walk from the lakeside so it was easy to fill the days if you did not want to travel.

My family a wonderful time while staying in this very comfortable and roomy cottage. Each bedroom has its own bath and the kitchen has all of the items you'll need. The wine bottle opener came in handy. There are BBQ grills and a hot tub where we star gazing from. It had rained a lot before we got there and the front door stuck. We used the side door. We especially liked it because it is close to Yosemite NP and on a lake with boat rentals. The driveway is steep and gravel but is easy to drive and down. There was plenty of room for my wife and three kids. If we go back to Yosemite, while stay here again.

Aug 22-29, 2009 Mark & Wendy-So comfy & cozy to share your cabin with our daughter & her husband,plus the boys! Little Levi (6 weeks) enjoyed his first boat ride and Trenton & Melissa tubed until Andrew gave up trying to shake 'em off. As I sit here, on our last evening, Trenton is reading, Melissa is looking at something on the computer, Zack (2 yrs 3 mos) is asleep, as is little Levi. Soon we will all get in the hot tub again. Bass Lake was so much fun. Andrew anchored his boat on a nearby beach and we went out every day except Wed (when we went to Yosemite). Andrew & Trenton had never been to Yosemite before, so it was special. All the discoveries you hope people will make at your cabin were (probably) made: water slides, hiking, stars from the hot tub, tubing, Yosemite, etc... Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! Katy, Alex, et al. :) :) :) :) :) Best Vacation in years. Alex

Bass Lake has always been one of our favorite places and now we've discovered the perfect place to stay while enjoying the lake. The cabin is cozy, but can accomodate a good size group. There is plenty of decking and yard space to pitch a tent. The hot tub is a real treat and for those who just can't bear to be out of touch, there is an internet connection. Yosemite is just an hour away. What more can you ask for? Make reservations, go, stay and enjoy beautiful scenery and a cozy cabin.

Owner response: Thanks so much; we're glad you enjoyed it! Yosemite is actually much closer than an hour, but it can take an hour to drive into the valley.

A great base for exploring Yosemite-though the children especially enjoyed the hot tub and the ample supply of cartoon books.

Our mini vacation at your hideaway was wonderful! Your cabin is both inviting and cozy. You've made it very comfortable. Long days, swimming, and reading gave us the down time we needed. It was so good to take the plunge once again in Bass Lake!

This was our first time at Bass Lake, and we love it! Our two kids, 10 and 6, love the Falls Beach and Waterslide.
