Just 12 miles to the South Gate of Yosemite South Gate. Perched on Lewis Creek. For the slightly more adventurous who want to avoid the crowds, it's just 9 miles to the Nelder Grove of redwoods and 13 miles to Fresno Dome, with miles of hiking trails, wilderness roads, streams, meadows and small lakes along the way. Bass Lake, a popular regional destination for boating, water skiing, fishing and hiking, is 6 miles. Shopping and restaurants in the gateway town of Oakhurst are just 6 miles, too. Last but not least, the proximity to Lewis Creek: You can hear and see the waterfall from every room; you can't build this close anymore.
