All Oakhurst and iron bound

Along the Fresno River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Oakhurst is a residential mountain town known for its small-town charm, rich gold-rush history, and scenic natural beauty. A short drive from Bass Lake and the Sierra National Forest, you'll find plenty of outdoor activities and waterfront recreation in the area, too. Plus, Oakhurst is at the southern end of the scenic Highway 49 – also known as the Gold Country Highway – so your Oakhurst vacation rental will give you easy access to the historic mining towns of northern California.
