Come enjoy the mountain views near Bass Lake & Yosemite National Park in the Sierra National Forest. Built by Grandpa from reclaimed barn wood & wooden winery trays & decorated by Grandma with a lifetime collection of antiques and family photos, this house feels the way a rustic cabin in the mountains should. Whether you come in Spring/Autumn for a hike, crisp clean air and star gazing, or for a day at the lake on a hot Summer day, our cabin makes the perfect cozy base camp.
Fun fact! The south side of Bass Lake, near the cabin, is where the 1988 classic movie 'The Great Outdoors' with Dan Aykroid and John Candy was filmed.
We are perfectly located for a visit to Bass Lake, Manzanita Lake, or Yosemite National Park.
The main cabin: The space is perfect for a group of friends and/or family to gather. Our cabin has a large cozy living room with plenty of seating, a wood burning fireplace, standing AC units (no central air), and Grandpa's wet bar (the man knew how to have fun *BYOB) in the corner. The living room is stocked with toys, games, books and puzzles. Off of the living room is a large deck with an umbrella, outdoor seating, and a propane grill. From the patio nature lovers may see deer, wild turkeys, lizards, fox, quail, eagles, hawks, woodpeckers, bluejays, and hummingbirds. The sunroom off the living room is the perfect place to read or play a game. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need and has a large dining room table. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and a soaking tub. A full bathroom is located off the hall and is stocked with all the basics for your use. The upstairs bedroom has a king sized bed, AC, windows galore (with blackout curtains so you can sleep in) and a sliding glass door leading to a balcony with a view for miles. Under the stairs you'll find a washer and drier. The cabin has a strong wifi connection and we have a smart TV in the living room. No cable TV, but feel free to log into your streaming accounts!
**We are currently remodeling the kitchen but doing it one piece at a time so it doesn’t impact guests. Right now you’ll see we pulled the oven out but we bought a brand new small temporary one. The kitchen is still fully functional :)
The bunkhouse: In the bunkhouse you'll find two bedrooms joined by a half bath. Each bedroom has a queen sized bed and open closet. Based on guest feedback we now have AC in the bunkhouse rooms! *The bunkhouse is not attached to the main cabin and uses portable heaters in the winter months for heat.
The property: We are on the boarder of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It's a no hunting annex and is usually pretty quiet so you'll likely see wild animals (mostly deer and turkeys). The land beyond the garage and end of the driveway does not belong to us. Our property is over an acre with plenty of space to park vehicles or a boat. At 2 miles away, Wishon Point is the closest boat launch on Bass Lake.
