About this property

Cedar Bend: Hilltop Secluded Retreat near Yosemite, Bass Lake & National Forest

Welcome to your peaceful mountain retreat — the perfect base for adventure-filled days and relaxing evenings surrounded by nature.
Nestled at the highest point of a beautifully wooded setting, this home offers true seclusion with towering oaks, cedars, and pines all around and the National Forest directly behind the house. The spacious deck faces the National Forest, perfect for morning coffee with birdsong, evening barbecues under the stars, or simply unwinding with a book as the forest breeze rolls through.
Step inside to discover freshly updated floors throughout, a bright living room with large windows that frame the trees and bring the outdoors in, and a fully equipped kitchen with expansive counters — ideal for home-cooked meals or casual buffet-style dinners after a day of exploring.
The home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests with four well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms. A dedicated laundry room makes longer stays effortless.
Whether you’re hiking Yosemite’s iconic trails, boating or swimming at Bass Lake, or enjoying Oakhurst’s charming shops and restaurants, you’ll return each day to a clean, updated space that feels like a true mountain getaway.
Why guests love it here:
• Prime location for Yosemite day trips without the hassle of staying inside the park
• Quick access to lake fun, hiking, and forest serenity right out your back door
• Thoughtful updates and practical features for families, couples, or friend groups
Additional outdoor highlights include a private balcony off the upstairs master bedroom with peaceful forest views, inviting front porch seating, and unique front-yard relaxation spots nestled under a massive oak — including a one-of-a-kind hanging original ski lift chair from Wrightwood, CA.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Peggy Underwood

Host profile image
My husband and I are mountain lovers who deeply appreciate the peace and beauty of tall trees and quiet nature. We chose this home because it gives us the privacy and forest immersion we both crave, and we’re excited to share that same serene escape with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We chose this elevated spot for its incredible seclusion and the way it feels wrapped in towering cedars, oaks, and pines with the National Forest right behind the house. What we enjoy most is the profound sense of privacy and the constant soundtrack of birdsong and breeze — it’s the perfect peaceful mountain setting.

What makes this property unique

What makes Cedar Bend truly special is its rare combination of total seclusion and breathtaking forest immersion. Perched at the highest point with the National Forest directly behind, guests enjoy private outdoor spaces like the spacious deck facing the trees, a master bedroom balcony, front porch seating, and a one-of-a-kind hanging ski chair lift under a massive oak. It’s a true hidden gem for those seeking quiet nature and mountain serenity.
