About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Spacious, 3BR/3BA, A/C, EV charger, game room, pool table, 2 miles from Yosemite
Half Dome Hideaway is a deluxe, custom built, 3 story, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom 2,300 square foot home located 2 miles from the South entrance to Yosemite National Park. We've worked hard to have one of the nicest homes in the area. Everything is first class including our customer service. We have a new central heating and AC system throughout the house. We have 6 modern flat screen, smart TVs on 4 receivers, a well equipped game room, unlimited hot water and custom wiring and lighting. See our pictures for more details and read our stellar reviews. Our beautiful home is located in the quiet little town of Fish Camp, California at 5,100' elevation. It is spacious, comfortable, and in great condition after being completely, custom remodeled and modernized. All 3 floors have an extra-large bedroom, large bed(s), full bathroom, TV and large closet. Complimentary secure wireless internet (WiFi) is included and available everywhere on the property. We have a first class 60Amp/220V, level 2 EV charging station with a 24' cord set up for all cars. That gives you a robust 11Kw capacity. We ask guests to pay us OUR COST for the electricity. It's there for convenience, not to make a profit on our guests. The main (middle) floor has the master bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, dining area and cozy living room with a beautiful, easy to use, gas fireplace. The kitchen has a 3'x5' "island" topped with a laminated solid oak cutting board. The dining room has a solid oak table with seating for 8. This main floor has a large front deck with a table, 4 chairs, 2 chaise lounges and a large gas BBQ with utensils. There is also a private backyard with a table and chairs. The first floor has a large game room with pool table, dart board, TV, piano, guitar, easy-to-use gas "wood stove" and adjoining bathroom and laundry room. This game room has a kitchenette with a "wet bar", sink/garbage disposal, microwave, blender, coffee maker, dishes and a large beautiful bar. There is a large patio outside the first floor with a table and chairs. The third floor has a large bedroom with TV and full bathroom. Our DIRECTV satellite system lets you watch 4 different shows at the same time as well as lots of music stations. You can choose from over 140 channels plus many of the sports channels. Many people are now using their cell phones for streaming to the TVs. Our home has the biggest "on demand" water heater available for unlimited hot water. All 3 bathrooms have large, tall toilets with "elongated bowls" for your comfort and convenience. Two of the bathrooms have built-in heaters in addition to the central heat/AC. This home is very well furnished and comes with everything you need to have a great time at Yosemite, Bass Lake and the surrounding mountain areas. Fish Camp is a very safe community but we have a "hotel safe" to securely store your valuables while you are out. Anne and I have lived and worked in these mountains for 45 years, are well connected and will be glad to advise you on all of the amazing activities inside and around Yosemite. There is also plenty to do right in Fish Camp and the surrounding mountain communities of Bass Lake, Oakhurst, Mariposa and beyond. Once you have booked your reservation we will send you lots of hospitality info and our website address. There you will find hiking, dining, and activity suggestions including the very popular, historic "Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad". Nearby is horseback riding, mountain bike rentals, hiking, fishing, ATV rentals, and the quaint Fish Camp general store. A half mile from the house is the Tenaya Lodge that has a nice restaurant and full service bar for your favorite libations. There is also a separate deli. Elsewhere on their property is the Timberline Pizzeria. For those wanting to pamper themselves they also have a fully equipped, luxurious spa. Our family home has always been an allergen free environment so we insist on no smoking inside the house and NO PETS of any kind. There are ash trays conveniently located outside every entrance for those that want to smoke. We don't allow parties. This will be strictly enforced, NO EXCEPTIONS. It has a nicely built, but steep lower driveway. 9-passenger vans have made it up to the top and turned around but that is pretty tight. RV's need to park on the street if that's what you are travelling in. The upper parking areas are level and have parking for 2 cars/vans or 3 smaller cars. See photos. This is a 3 story house and is not recommended for handicapped guests. Thanks so much for your interest in renting our home.

The host was attentive and helpful with everything we needed (even before our stay, always on top of the information about access to Yosemite Park).

Annual Family Vacation
Our family of 6 adults and one 4 year old had a wonderful time at the house. For the last 4 years we have been going to different National Parks and staying in vacation rentals. This home was wonderful for family meals and for playing games in the evenings. The location was great for entrance on the west side of Yosemite. The house was overall clean and had all the amenities that are needed to stay and make family breakfasts and dinners. Everything was in working order and no issues occurred. Thorn was wonderful in his communication to us and it was nice to talk with the owner of the home and not an agent. Thank you Thorn for all of your insight on adventures in the area! Would definitely stay there again with our family.

Labor Weekend getaway
We enjoyed our 3 day stay at this Fish Camp property. The amenities were plenty to provide all the comforts of a home away from home for all ages. A bedroom in each of the 3 floors were comfortable and afforded privacy with each one having their own bathroom. Living room furniture was very comfortable and spacious.
A TV in every room. The pool table was enjoyable for the kids to play with. The propane BBQ on the deck was easy to use. And they had an EV charging unit on the premise that made it easy for my Tesla to charge overnight.
The location within Fish Camp made everything nearby attractions very accessible and a short drive for a day trip.
The owners were also very thorough and responsive to any questions in a timely fashion. I would recommend this place and plan to be back again.

Family summer vacation
The cabin was beautiful and well equipped! It had everything you could want for a vacation. The owner was very nice and you could tell there was a lot of care put into the property. Our main goal was to visit Yosemite and the property is only a few minutes to the gate. However, once in the gate it is about an hour drive through the mountains to the more popular attractions of Yosemite. Would definitely book the cabin again, but if we want to visit Yosemite I think we will stay inside the park.

Handy to Yosemite south entrance
We loved our stay at the Half-Dome Hideaway! We all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, and the location was so close to the south Yosemite entrance. It took about 5 minutes to get there, and then Mariposa is right after that. We were also very close to the Tenaya Resort and the Yosemite Trails horseback riding. You really wouldn't even need to go into Yosemite to find fun things to do!
This home was fully-appointed, clean, quiet, and comfortable. Highly recommend!
