About this property
Yosemite's Suite Retreat's "Gingerbread House, Perfect for 2!
The 'Gingerbread House' is a rustic one-of-a-kind storybook A-Frame chalet with a loft. Absolutely adorable, loaded with charm and character however this may NOT suit some guests. The loft is accessed by way of a ladder with a 250 lb. weight limit. There is no bathroom or water up there, nevertheless this is probably one of the nicest rooms on the property. Set up in the trees offering the feeling of being in a tree house, a fantastic spot to relax, perhaps read a book, take nap on the queen size bed. We provide clean linens that have been washed in ECO friendly soap.
The main level offers a small well-equipped kitchenette with a small refrigerator, microwave, a large kitchen sink and a farmhouse table with seating for 2. Please note there is no stove/oven. There is a propane BBQ on the patio also.
The living/sitting area has a futon couch which makes a full-size bed, perfect for those who would rather not sleep in the loft or perhaps a 3rd person. There is a small 32-inch Samsung smart TV (no cable service). This cottage also offers wireless internet.
The cottage is best heated by the wood burning stove (we supply the materials) however there is a small propane wall heater.
For the warmer days there is a wall air conditioner in the loft.
Adjacent to the kitchen area is a full bathroom with the “charm of yesterday” including a claw foot tub with the shower overhead and separate sink. Please note the water heater is small (20 gallons) and may not be suitable for warm baths during the cooler months.
Fresh clean towels that have been washed with ECO friendly soap, are provided for your use.
The steppingstone walkway outside leads to a cute small, covered patio area perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure.
We also offer for your consideration Yosemite's Suite Retreat's Little Bear Cottage, a 1 level studio cottage perfect for 2. VRBO # 359315

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Brantley
I'm a REALTOR with Bass Lake Realty. I've been licensed since 1998. I love Real Estate!
Back in 2004 my partner Mike discovered this “gem” property and purchased it before it entered the real estate market and from there, we’ve had quite a journey. First it was an awesome place for Mike to tinker and put his passion for carpentry and pride of ownership to work while we rented to full time tenants. Then in 2010 we found ourselves living here unexpectedly from a remote mountain property. This property offered a lovely country setting yet being very close to Oakhurst’s township, Bass Lake and of course Yosemite. We were only using the Gingerbread Tiny House occasionally for friends and family when my dear friend Kirsty Lebovitz who owns SierraScape Vacation Rentals suggested that I turn the cottage into a vacation rental for two. So, I did! That is how Yosemite’s Suite Retreat’s Gingerbread Tiny House came to be! Thank you, Kirsty!

Why they chose this property
This is a fantastic location and convenient to 3 major attractions, lots of restaurants, less than 2 minutes from Oakhurst's town amenities yet we are nestled on 3 beautiful acres. Please note we are NOT a remote mountain property.
The gates to Yosemite are approximately 20 to 30 minutes away and the Valley Floor is an additional 30-40 minutes from the gates.
The Beautiful Bass Lake is within 10 minutes or so. There are often events & activities happening. Hiking, boating and boat rentals, picnicking, swimming and the real estate is awesome.

What makes this property unique
We are an alternative to a hotel/motel, renting a full size home and of course camping! On our shared 3 acres we have 3 separate living quarters all unique and loaded with character. They are all separate from each other and each have their own yards and driveways.
