About this property

SIERRA ESCAPE! SPACIOUS COUNTRY HOUSE WITH POOL & SPA--20 MINUTES FROM YOSEMITE!

Come and stay in our beautiful country home in the spectacular southern Sierra. We are only 17 gorgeous miles from the entrance into Yosemite National Park. Spend the day hiking the trails in Yosemite then come home and enjoy a refreshing swim in the large, private in-ground pool. Relax in our comfy hammocks or play horseshoes and badminton. Like to read? Curl up in one of our outdoor lounge chairs, relax, read and enjoy the sweet smelling mountain air. We have a stainless steel grill to BBQ to your heart’s delight. After dinner soak in our secluded therapeutic mineral spa reviving sore, trail weary muscles. You are only 7 minutes from the mountain village of Oakhurst where you can dine out in one of our many restaurants, take in a movie or perhaps a play at the Golden Chain Theater. A 30-minute drive up historic Hwy 49 takes you to Mariposa, an authentic gold rush town with the oldest continuously working courthouse in California, and visit one of the best museums in the area. Bass Lake is only 10 minutes away from our country home if you want to spend the day fishing and boating. Our area has many beautiful drives to take, trails to hike and things to do. Come and visit and you will want to come back again and again and again.

If you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay near Bass Lake and Yosemite this is it! The layout of the house is perfect for quality family time. We equally loved sitting on both the front and back porches watching our kids play. The hosts thought of everything we might need! They even left snacks and smores supplies out for us The kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cook. The swimming pool and hot tub were the cherry on top. We can't wait to return.

Absolutely love this property, very peaceful and clean. Beautiful setting, quiet neighborhood. Host very friendly and welcoming. Love to come back. Only one desapointed pool was out of season and not heated, wish host mentioned that in listing. Other than that we had a wonderful time. Thanks a lot.

Just like Grandma and grandpas house

We loved the house. Just as described. Actually there are 3 bathrooms. The treat basket is amazing. The yard is wonderful. I think my dogs are unhappy to be home. Lol. Would stay again. I do feel like duralogs or wood for the fire should be available year round.

Great place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway to the mountains with family and our pups! The pups had the best time and the yard and property were absolutely amazing and built with dogs in mind. We were so close to Yosemite and just a 10 minute drive to the shopping centers. We enjoyed a relaxing weekend at the home and would love to return and also squeeze in a day trip to Yosemite next time.

Amazing trip!

It sometimes can be stressful traveling w kids and a dog, but not this time. Our dog, honestly has never had so much fun w multiple areas to roam and play and run. The kids loved the pool, hot tub and snacks that were kindly provided. We had such a relaxing vacation as everything we needed was there. Would definitely recommend this VRBO!

I can't say enough posituve things about this property and its owners. The home is fabulous, spacious but cozy. Everything you might need is provided, including a nice goodie basket and a bottle of wine. The property surrounding the house is gorgeous. The kids spent a lot of time in the large pool, which is in a beautiful setting, surrounded by nature. The owners provide a great selection of floaties. Speaking of the owners, they are awesome, very friendly and responsive. They even gave excellent recommendations for local restaurants. My granddaughter said that of all of the VRBO's we've rented for family vacations, this is the best.

Furamily getaway

We love this property! This is our second time visiting and it is super dog friendly and has all the amenities. There is excellent communication with our host throughout the process. We stayed in and enjoyed as much of the house and hot tub as we could in the short time we had. The pups had a fantastic time sniffing the yard during our getaway and we would love to try and make this an annual trip. Thank you so much, Chris for opening up your home for us.

Perfection

What a wonderful vacation getaway. Beautiful home in a beautiful area. Close to town (10 min) Kitchen has everything you would need and then some. Master bedroom had the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. Hot tub was the perfect compliment after a long hike in Yosemite. Would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Ralston

Host profile image
Retired RN. Grew up in Los Angeles area and always wanted to live in the mountains. I'm an outdoor loving girl. Anytime I can be out hiking, exploring or swimming, I'm in heaven.

Why they chose this property

This property was beautiful and had the perfect location. Close enough to town but still in the forest. We get snow but not too much. Oakhurst is a family friendly town and welcomes travelers with open arms. Beautiful, easy drive to Yosemite or explore historic Hwy 49 with it's rich mining history.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! In the forest, but only 45 minutes from a city. We can still do a beach trip in one day as we are only 3.5 hours from Monterey Bay. We are right outside the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park, who can ask for more than that.
