This beautifully decorated home was extremely well equipped, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.The hot tub was amazing! Very easy to use and was very clean. Very nice feature after a day at Yosemite! While our furry friends were not able to join us, the welcome items at the front door were a very nice gesture, along with a welcome note and wine for us!The combination of a wooded, private location with a very short drive to town for restaurants and groceries was perfect!

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

We really enjoyed our time at this property. The house has everything you need to have a very comfortable stay (functionally and ambiance wise); the instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the location was perfect. Minutes to the town, but you feel like you are out in the country. Great little escape!

Fantastic Mountain Home

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Bonanza Ranch home. It was spacious, clean and updated. Jason and Pimmy were very gracious hosts. During our stay my family enjoyed the game room and all the wildlife in the area (including an adorable horse & donkey right next door). We will definitely be returning soon!

Top Notch Accommodations

Spent Thanksgiving week with my family (wife, 2 sons, and dog) and loved everything about this house. Very clean and modern. The hot tub was a huge hit. Spent time with my sons playing foosball, ping pong, and sunset s’mores on the fire pit. The best part was that the house felt very secluded, but was just a few minutes from town. Highly recommend!! Our hosts were fantastic!

Fantastic property and great hosts

Jason's property was outstanding. We loved the location, the views, cleanliness and just the overall setting. The hot tub and the outdoor grill were great additions. We were there as a family with our dog. Our puppy loved the outdoors as well. Another very welcome surprise was the deer family that greeted us :) Jason was very responsive throughout our stay and whenever we had a question, he immediately responded. Thank you Jason and Pimmy for being phenomenal. We would definitely love to go back to your place in the future.

Chic, Comfortable & Cheerful Home!

Our stay at Bonanza Ranch was even more wonderful than we were expecting. The home is very comfortable and so much fun. Our 4 kids and my husband and I loved the game room and the hottub. We were very happy to return from our hiking adventures, to soak in the hottub and play a little table tennis! The Kitchen had everything we needed. I throughly enjoyed the house decor and the neighborhood. The owners were quick at responding to messages and super helpful. Oakhurst is a cute little town and the prefect place to stay if you're visiting Yosemite. We would, hands down, stay here again.

Quiet, Relaxing and Serene

We had a wonderful stay and would stay there again! The house is situated slightly up on a hill so it had the best sunsets, which could be enjoyed out on the back patio. The house was equipped with everything you needed, full propane tank for grilling, dishwasher detergent, hair dryers, q-tips, even body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the showers. They had a tankless water heater which was great when you have several folks all taking showers. Kitchen cabinets were labeled do you could easily find stuff. Plenty of space between the kitchen island and the dining table to eat for a large group. The garage had a ping pong table and foosball. It was very close to town and not too far from Yosemite. The hosts were very responsive, they even left us a hand written welcome note and a bottle of wine.

Family Summer Vaca Stay

First of all, this is one property where some of the photos in the posting actually DON’T do it justice. This home is SO nice, SO BIG and so spacious. The beds are COMFORTABLE, which for me has been SUCH a difficult thing to find at property rentals in the past. The owners put in a lot of time and effort into this property and it shows. The game room and washer/dryer are in the huge garage, but you can easily push the ping pong table to one side and have PLENTY of room for one large vehicle if you prefer to park your car inside rather than the massive driveway (and still have room to play ping pong and foosball on the other side of the garage if you want). This is in a nice nature like neighborhood so there are deer that randomly show up in the yard, there was a flock of 2 turkey hens with like 10 chicks one morning! As well as some tiny frogs along the fence in the back yard, in the summer! The south entrance to Yosemite National park is about a 20 minute drive, the Sugar Pine Railway is about 10 minutes away and SO fun, definitely recommend booking the longer dinner time experience if you can. The hosts were super available and helpful without being intrusive. They gave great suggestions for local food and made sure we knew they were available at anytime if there were any issues or if we had any questions. We brought our small dog which they had food and water bowls available for as well as a brand new dog toy. 1000% recommend. Will definitely go back!

The property was spacious, clean, and offered all the amenities that we were looking for. The house was located near stores, restaurants, national parks, lakes and rivers. The hot tub came in handy after our day hikes and the wood burning fireplace kept us cozy during the cold evenings. We can’t wait to come back and visit again.

Loved this place

Jason was incredibly helpful and communicates quickly. With the wildfires threatening the area, I peppered him with questions, which he responded to immediately. The house is awesome. Very clean and laid out well. Three good sized bedrooms and two baths; big, clean kitchen. Kids used the hot tub and the sunset is amazing. Location is perfect. 5 minutes to shopping, dining in town; 15 minutes to the South Gate. My family really enjoyed this stop. We definitely recommend it for anyone coming to the area.
