NEAR YOSEMITE: Bass Lake Cabin: Hot Tub, Lake View, Pet Friendly

Spring is lovely, green, peaceful and uncrowded at Bass Lake. Yosemite has a special beauty, amazing waterfalls and no crowds.

It's going to be a great summer at the lake....book now!

Our cabin is a cozy and serene place to vacation, just a short drive from the Bay Area and the Central Valley. The hot tub at night under the stars is a favorite of all our guests.

We can also be your "home office" for working remotely, with fast wifi for those Zoom meetings and a couple of separate work areas in the house.

YOSEMITE PARK AND BASS LAKE ARE STILL AN AMAZING AND AFFORDABLE VACATION COMBINATION! OUR WHOLE CABIN COSTS LESS THAN ONE HOTEL ROOM AT YOSEMITE.

Now booking for Summer, 2026. The lake should be very full!

'We had such a wonderful time at your cabin. It was such a wonderful change from a boring hotel room' (Todd B.- recent guest)

This is a charming and comfortable cabin at Bass Lake that is quite secluded on a small hill overlooking the lake. There is one master bedroom and full bath with a California King bed and a TV. The second bedroom is small, with a bunk bed that is twin-sized on top and full-sized on the bottom. (note: there is not a lot of headroom above the top bunk). This bedroom has its own bathroom with a shower, toilet and sink. The living room has a queen-sized Ikea sofa bed (comfy!) and a large smart TV with DVD player. The modern kitchen has a nook that sits 4-6. There is an adjacent library/den area with a table that can be used for dining, game playing, puzzles, crafts, working at your laptop, etc. There is also a desk in the master bedroom. The wifi is fast....good for working remotely, Zoom calls, streaming, etc.

There is a hot tub on the deck that overlooks the lake. The hot tub is especially wonderful at night when all is quiet and the stars are bright. There is a patio table (with umbrella) which is the perfect spot for eating all meals, game-playing, relaxing with a glass of wine, etc. You will definitely spend a lot of time on the deck overlooking the hillside and lake. To the side of the house is a semi- enclosed yard area (not "safe" for pets to be left alone)with a concrete patio and a basketball hoop. Children love to play in this side-yard area (although young children must always be supervised)
It is a 7-minute walk to the lake. The Falls beach area is less than a mile down the road. In the other direction, there are many public beaches within walking distance or just a short drive...just choose one that fits your fancy. If you have young children, the beaches closest to our cabin have lots of shallow areas that are perfect for children to play safely in. The water is a great temperature for swimming during the summer. The Pines Village is 2 miles down the road. There you'll find The Pines grocery store, a gas station, a few restaurants and shops to browse in. There are boat and other rentals available on both sides of the lake as well as a couple of amazing burger, sandwich and ice-cream places (Millers Landing and The Forks).

Tempur-Pedic mattress toppers in both bedrooms! Sleep like a dream!

New: high chair, Pak'N'Play and baby toys! Save yourself the hassle of packing this essential baby gear!

The town of Oakhurst is just 8 miles away and has a wide variety of restaurants, movie theaters, grocery stores, bowling, etc. There is also good golf, hiking and fishing nearby. And of course, Yosemite is just up the road! It's a 20 minute drive to the southern entrance to Yosemite (and the Mariposa Grove) and then another 40-60 minutes down into Yosemite Valley. Day trips into Yosemite are very easy to do....then come back to soak in the hot tub at night!

This cabin is a perfect retreat for couples who want a quiet get-away. Families love it too!
In the winter, the lake level is down quite a bit. There is snow a few times a year but not regularly. There is usually snow just up the road towards Yosemite, and there are a few snow play areas before you get to the gates of Yosemite, near Fish Camp. There is skiing and snowboarding and snowshoe-ing at Badger Pass inside Yosemite; it's a great family snow play resort.

The house is primarily heated by an efficient wood stove in the living room. The fire will be all ready for you to light a match to once you arrive. It heats the house up fairly quickly, usually within 30 minutes. We provide plenty of firewood on the rack outside the back door. You can set the fire on “low” by moving the lever at the bottom of the stove to the right. This allows less air in, and it will burn slowly. Pile it up with wood during the night, set it on low, and it should stay warm all night long.
The wood stove is a desirable feature for most guests
**HOWEVER, If you don't want to deal with a wood stove, this cabin may not be your best option.

We are pet-friendly and have hosted many happy pooches, but we must approve your pet before final booking. Please let us know the breed, weight and age of your pet. We'll send a pet addendum for you to read and agree to. Depending upon the number of pets and length of stay, the pet fee is $65-$85. This is a separate and additional fee that will be added to your charges.

This is by far the best rental we have ever stayed at! Wendy has everything you could possibly want there including games, puzzles, books movies and even books and toys for little kids. The king bed was so comfortable and of course we went in the Spa every night to relax after days of hiking. I definately recommend this rental to anyone that just wants a nice relaxing and secluded place to stay! So beautiful and surrounded by trees!

Had a wonderful stay, cabin was cozy and very comfortable! They have a lot in case you forget anything be it activities, spices, books, games, very grateful. We went to Yosemite Park each day. We went in January so a lot of things were closed due to winter so be prepared. More trails were closed than we hoped but wonderful views where we did go.

This was a wonderful stay in a nice and cozy establishment. It had plenty of space in the bedrooms, kitchen and it even had laundry room. The back yard was spacious with plenty of room of activities. One of the best features was the hot tube that we used every night and you even have a spectacular view of the lake. I highly recommend the stay here!

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful time. Kids loved the basketball hoop and the adults appreciated the comfortable beds, the view of the lake from the kitchen window and the deck, and the welcoming feel of the place. We also really appreciated all of the advice on local restaurants, beaches, etc and the free Yosemite guide. Thanks Wendy!
