Cozy as described. Everything we needed plus a private backyard patio to enjoy our coffee in the am (had we stayed longer would have bbq’d). Very close to town, and a stone’s throw from the lake—-a clean and inviting retreat for a Bass Lake getaway. Super quiet at night. Stephanie is a great host.

Yosemite Lake Retreat

Beat all of our expectations by far! Stephanie is amazing and thought of everything you could possibly need. Her tips and helpful suggestions, along with personal touches, made our trip so much better. It saved us time and allowed us first hand knowledge of Yosemite and Bass Lake. We had a blast and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future. There's a great restaurant, the Marina at Bass Lake, with good food and music and also rentals for all types of water sporting fun! It was so nice to explore Yosemite and return to a lake neighborhood to unwind and continue vacationing into the evening. Thanks again Stephanie for your hospitality.
Sandals and flip flops at the Marina for dinner!

Cozy retreat

We only have good things to say about this place and our stay here. Dwight and Stephanie are excellent hosts. Stephanie was gone when we checked in but Dwight came right over to welcome us and show us the place and explained some things to us. Stephanie left us a couple of small bottles of Stella Rosa for our anniversary and they made us a cute magnet. The king size bed is very comfortable and the place had everything we needed. We definitely will stay again.

Absolutely the best VRBO experience

The cottage was very charming, and beautifully decorated. It felt like a home away from home. It had absolutely everything anyone would hope for in a vacation rental. The cottage was very clean and well organized. So many thoughtful touches on behalf of Dwight and Stephanie, whom are exceptionally kind. The location was perfect; within walking distance to the lake and the shops in town. They even have a California King bed...and had the best sleep in my life! In-house laundry, an awesome patio; I could go on and on. I will be recommending this rental to any couple desiring to go to Bass Lake, and will only stay here when we return. It was that wonderful, and I will always be grateful to Dwight and Stephanie for the best anniversary trip of our life.

Very well equipped with anything that could be needed for cooking. Beach was fantastic. Bed was very nice. A/C unit in bedroom should be updated. It was louder than it should be. The host was very gracious and went out of her way to show us a few details that helped. We would definately stay again if in the area

Perfect!

We enjoyed ourselves immensely. The cottage is immaculate and it is evident that Stephanie has put a great deal of effort into decorating and stocking the cottage with everything you might need. The heated mattress itself is enough to warrant a 10/10 rating. The location is prime. A short walk down a small hill to the lake and a 3 min drive to the marina with great restaurants. We mentioned her name at the marina and were comp'd a free non motorized boat rental for 4 hours! We chose the canoe and had a great time exploring the lake. Its easy to get to Yosemite which is about a 20 minute drive. We did the Sugar Pine Railroad evening ride with dinner and campfire songs and it was just awesome. We will definitely come back to the Cozy Cottage as it was perfect. Thank you very much for sharing your place.

Great Stay at Bass Lake

Great House. Perfect location near the lake and the owners let us fish off of their private dock a short walk from the house. This was a huge bonus. Very good people own the house and live just nearby. Everything was as expected. Had some internet/connectivity issues at the house but it didnt bother us too much. Beds were comfy and kitchen was great for our short stay.

We had a wonderful time. Stephanie was fantastic and quickly responded to any questions. We were able to hangout and swim off the dock and the little beach was a godsend as it was over 100 degrees everyday. But the water temp was lovely. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Cozy and ideal starting point to explore Yosemite from

We spent a few very relaxing days here, the lodge had all the equipment we could've needed, everything was very well organized and labelled. Check-in went super smoothly and our hosts gave great recommendations for the area/Bass Lake and useful info for visiting Yosemite (thanks again!). We loved winding down at the lodge, on the deck especially, and would definitely stay again!
