Perfect spring escape
Cozy home with great outdoor space. Came in April and the weather was perfect. Home is well stocked and clean. Great location if visiting Bass Lake and Yosemite.
Perfect weather during this time of year (April), beautiful property, clean, close to Bass Lake and Yosemite. House has everything you need for a quiet get away.
My boyfriend and small dog had an amazing stay here. We can’t speak more to the cleanliness and convenience of the property. With a huge outside space, a creek in the backyard, a jacuzzi, morning birds and light through the trees…we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Shannon was thoughtful and responsive and an impeccable host. If you have the chance to stay here, you will remember it forever.
It was so pretty and nice would definitely recommend! They have a lot of games and volleyball net to play honestly the best.

Great Time
Went for a family getaway & had a great time. The cottage was clean plenty of space for everyone to move around. This area was also real quite, so if you like peace I would definitely recommend this place.
We had a wonderful stay. There were 2 couples and I loved that each of us was able to have our own "floor". I have never seen such a well-stocked home! The kitchen is beautiful. We spent a lot of time on the deck, watching the stars.

This cabin had it all! Adorably furnished, well stocked with snacks, board games and a large yard set up for outdoor activities in a beautiful and peaceful setting. Can't wait for our next trip back :)
We had a great stay! The home was very clean with all that you will need for a comfortable stay. The open layout was great for visiting. The hot tub and the large grassy backyard were lots of fun. It was great to have a grassy space to play fetch and soccer with our lab. The laundry facilities were very helpful as well.
Great cottage, great yard, and close to Yosemite! Very clean and well equipped.
The best vacatation rental we ever had (of 10+). Highly recommend!

Fantastic
Our family (including dog, Norman) were fully catered to at this cabin! We arrived to light music, warm lighting and treats to snack on while unpacking. What a GREAT setup! I felt the owners anticipated every need we may have had. We could hear the rushing creek from our open windows and fully enjoyed the hot tub each night after a long hike. Beds were very comfy and plenty of hot water! Thank you so much and we will spread the word about what a gem this place is!

From the owner: "Hi Mark!
Thank you for the compliments! I always spoil the kids a little too! I hope you book with us again someday. Yosemite is beautiful year round! Happy Trails"
Nice secluded cabin that is very comfortable. Short drive to Bass Lake and easy access to Yosemite. Our party had 10 people and we were very comfortable. Beautiful backyard and creek running in the back of the property. Would highly recommend and will be bringing my family back soon.
If I could give this property 10 stars I would! This cabin was just perfect! So nice inside and out! And the wood stove was fabulous after our hike in the snow at nearby Yosemite. We are already thinking of our next trip to the area and will definitely choose this cabin again. The hosts/owners couldn’t have been nicer!

"From the owner": "Hi Julie! Steve & I really enjoyed getting you guys through that snowstorm! Thank you for being so understanding! We're both looking forward to your next visit & I'm looking forward to horseback riding in Yosemite with you! Have a wonderful summer, until next time friends. -Shannon & Steve"
The pictures don't do this property justice. From the little creek in the backyard to the special touches that Shannon adds, you simply have to experience it for yourself. Five adults and one dog stayed comfortably for three nights. We had plenty of soace, and the large backyard was a fave forvour pup! We took many walks, and spent an entire day at Yosemite which is only 20 minutes away. We also had a great time on the Sugar Pine Railroad. We hope to be back soon!

Beautiful and Serene
Our stay was amazing. We went there to celebrate my adult daughter's birthday. The house was so cute and welcoming. Shannon was an amazing host and there was everything that we needed and more. The yard was huge and beautiful and so relaxing with lounge chairs. And the sound of the creek at the back of the property was just an added bonus. We definitely plan on visiting again.
