About this property

Welcome to the Bear’s Lair, a cozy, rustic cabin in the Sierras near Yosemite. The cabin is located in the heart of Bass Lake, within walking distance to the charming small town and the lake. We have a large deck to enjoy warm summer evenings, BBQs, or just relaxing amid the surrounding pine trees. There is space to park cars and a boat trailer, but keep in mind the roads in Willow Cove are narrow and winding. We have a nearby dock slip to park a boat or jet ski.

The space
The cabin has a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable family room with a large stone fireplace. There are three bedrooms. The Bunk Room has a double bed, trundle bed, and its own private entrance leading to the deck. The second bedroom (we call it the Apple Room) has a twin over full bunk bed and a double bed. The third bedroom has a comfortable king sized bed. We recently renovated the two bathrooms and kitchen, blending modern updates with the original, rustic elements, in order to preserve the authentic old-time cabin experience.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire property, including the large deck and space to park cars and a boat trailer. We have keyless entry to make your arrival easy and seamless.

Other things to note
We hope you enjoy the cabin, where the rules are short and sweet. No schedules. No deadlines. No dress code. We keep it simple. Take time to rest, relax and renew. Breathe deep. Make s’mores and spend time enjoying the great outdoors. It’s the perfect time to hike and explore.

Great place with amenities

Property filled all our needs and provided more than adequate amenities, for example shampoo, conditioner and variety of seasonings. Our recommendation for the future is more lighting on the patio, especially string lighting for a festive vibe, a gas barbecue, and night lights in bedrooms and bathrooms because the rooms are so dark.

Wonderful First Stay

The property was perfect. It had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable. The owners are extremely accommodating and always got back to me quickly. The next time I go I will bring small beach/dock chairs and a small EZ up for down by the lake which is a very short walk from the cabin. We had lake rafts that we brought and that was fun too. You won’t be disappointed!
