About this property
Spacious, 3BR/3BA, A/C, EV charger, game room, pool table, 2 miles from Yosemite
Half Dome Hideaway is a deluxe, custom built, 3 story, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom 2,500 square foot home located 2 miles from the South entrance to Yosemite National Park. We've worked hard to have one of the nicest homes in the area. Everything is first class including our customer service. We have a new central heating and AC system throughout the house. We have 6 modern flat screen, smart TVs on 4 receivers, a well equipped game room, unlimited hot water and custom wiring and lighting. See our pictures for more details and read our stellar reviews. Our beautiful home is located in the quiet little town of Fish Camp, California at 5,100' elevation. It is spacious, comfortable, and in great condition after being completely, custom remodeled and modernized. All 3 floors have an extra-large bedroom, large bed(s), full bathroom, TV and large closet. Complimentary secure wireless internet (WiFi) is included and available everywhere on the property.
We have a first class 60Amp/220V, level 2 EV charging station with a 24' cord set up for all cars. That gives you a robust 11Kw capacity. We ask guests to pay us OUR COST for the electricity. It's there for convenience, not to make a profit on users.
The main (middle) floor has the master bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, dining area and cozy living room with a beautiful, easy to use, gas fireplace. The kitchen has a 3'x5' "island" topped with a laminated solid oak cutting board. The dining room has a solid oak table with seating for 8. This main floor has a large front deck with a table, 4 chairs, 2 chaise lounges and a large gas BBQ with utensils. There is also a private backyard with a table and chairs.
The first floor has a large game room with pool table, dart board, TV, piano, guitar, easy-to-use gas "wood stove" and adjoining bathroom and laundry room. This game room has a kitchenette with a sink/garbage disposal, microwave, blender, coffee maker, dishes and a large beautiful bar. There is a large patio outside the first floor with a table and chairs.
The third floor has a large bedroom with TV and full bathroom.
Our DIRECTV satellite system lets you watch 4 different shows at the same time as well as lots of music stations. You can choose from over 140 channels plus many of the sports channels.
Our home has the biggest "on demand" water heater available for unlimited hot water. We recently put in large, tall toilets with "elongated bowls" for your comfort and convenience. Two of the bathrooms have built-in heaters in addition to the central heat/AC. This home is very well furnished and comes with everything you need to have a great time at Yosemite, Bass Lake and the surrounding mountain areas.
Anne and I have lived and worked in these mountains for 45 years, are well connected and will be glad to advise you on all of the amazing activities inside and around Yosemite. There is also plenty to do right in Fish Camp and the surrounding mountain communities of Bass Lake, Oakhurst, Mariposa and beyond. Once you have booked your reservation we will send you lots of hospitality info and our website address. There you will find hiking, dining, and activity suggestions including the very popular, historic "Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad". Nearby is horseback riding, mountain bike rentals, hiking, fishing, ATV rentals, and the quaint Fish Camp general store.
A half mile from the house is the Tenaya Lodge that has 2 restaurants as well as a deli. They have a large bar, and pizza parlor on that property. They also have a fully equipped, luxurious spa.
Our family home has always been an allergen free environment so we insist on no smoking inside the house and NO PETS of any kind. There are ash trays conveniently located outside every entrance for those that want to smoke. We don't allow parties. This will be strictly enforced, NO EXCEPTIONS.
It has a nicely built, but steep lower driveway. 9-passenger vans have made it up to the top and turned around but that is pretty tight. RV's need to park on the street if that's what you are travelling in. The upper parking areas are level and have parking for 2 cars/vans or 3 smaller cars. See photos.
This is a 3 story house and is not recommended for handicapped guests. Thanks so much for your interest in renting our home.
MORE DETAILS:
The fully equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, oven, stove top, large refrigerator with ice maker, rice steamer, crock pots, dishes, silverware, corkscrew, coffee grinder, coffee, "ziplock" bags, aluminum foil, Saran wrap, lots of spices, etc.
All 3 showers have shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispensers in them. We use only unscented products.
There are clock radios with USB charging ports/MP3 players in all bedrooms
There is a “landline” phone for unlimited free local calls as well as incoming calls too.
We have a washer, dryer, "laundry tub", and detergent in the laundry room
Free off street, private parking for 3 vehicles. More free parking in front of the house, on the street, for oversize vehicles.
Ironing board, iron, 2 hair dryers, dishes, silverware, cookware, towels, linens, blankets, pillows, 2 microwaves, 2 coffee makers, 2 vacuum cleaners, many fans, etc.
VERY quiet, peaceful and safe neighborhood

About the host
Hosted by Thorn and Anne Hertwig
I'm a 65 year old semi-retired electrical contractor. I moved up to Fish Camp, from Southern California, 43 years ago and built this home. I've operated 2 water systems in Fish Camp for about 20 years. My wife, Anne, is a retired, local elementary school teacher of 36 years.
Why they chose this property
Fish Camp is a very special place. It's above the Central Valley heat in the summer and gets 15-30+ feet of snow in the winter. It's 2 miles from the south entrance to Yosemite, 4 miles from the Mariposa Grove of GIANT sequoias, 13 miles to Bass Lake and Oakhurst. Quiet, peaceful, pristine and healthy
What makes this property unique
Large game room with pool table, "wet bar" kitchenette, dart board, guitar and piano. 6 TV's on DIRECTV. Able to watch 4 different programs at once. AWESOME star gazing
