Charming Rustic Mountain Cabin, Near Yosemite,Amazing Views, and a Fireplace
Come enjoy the mountain views near Bass Lake & Yosemite National Park in the Sierra National Forest. Built by Grandpa from reclaimed barn wood & wooden winery trays & decorated by Grandma with a lifetime collection of antiques and family photos, this house feels the way a rustic cabin in the mountains should. Whether you come in Spring/Autumn for a hike, crisp clean air and star gazing, or for a day at the lake on a hot Summer day, our cabin makes the perfect cozy base camp.
Fun fact! The south side of Bass Lake, near the cabin, is where the 1988 classic movie 'The Great Outdoors' with Dan Aykroid and John Candy was filmed.
We are perfectly located for a visit to Bass Lake, Manzanita Lake, or Yosemite National Park.
The main cabin: The space is perfect for a group of friends and/or family to gather. Our cabin has a large cozy living room with plenty of seating, a wood burning fireplace, standing AC units (no central air), and Grandpa's wet bar (the man knew how to have fun *BYOB) in the corner. The living room is stocked with toys, games, books and puzzles. Off of the living room is a large deck with an umbrella, outdoor seating, and a propane grill. From the patio nature lovers may see deer, wild turkeys, lizards, fox, quail, eagles, hawks, woodpeckers, bluejays, and hummingbirds. The sunroom off the living room is the perfect place to read or play a game. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need and has a large dining room table. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and a soaking tub. A full bathroom is located off the hall and is stocked with all the basics for your use. The upstairs bedroom has a king sized bed, AC, windows galore (with blackout curtains so you can sleep in) and a sliding glass door leading to a balcony with a view for miles. Under the stairs you'll find a washer and drier. The cabin has a strong wifi connection and we have a smart TV in the living room. No cable TV, but feel free to log into your streaming accounts! **We are currently remodeling the kitchen but doing it one piece at a time so it doesn’t impact guests. Right now you’ll see we pulled the oven out but we bought a brand new small temporary one. The kitchen is still fully functional :)
The bunkhouse: In the bunkhouse you'll find two bedrooms joined by a half bath. Each bedroom has a queen sized bed and open closet. Based on guest feedback we now have AC in the bunkhouse rooms! *The bunkhouse is not attached to the main cabin and uses portable heaters in the winter months for heat.
The property: We are on the boarder of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It's a no hunting annex and is usually pretty quiet so you'll likely see wild animals (mostly deer and turkeys). The land beyond the garage and end of the driveway does not belong to us. Our property is over an acre with plenty of space to park vehicles or a boat. At 2 miles away, Wishon Point is the closest boat launch on Bass Lake.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a great stay at this property. Remote location. Needs a car but commutable to local sites around yoesmite. House had everything we needed. We cooked and ate there for 3 days and traveled lots. A great family home location. Had every thing you could need. Thank you for hosting us all.
Very cozy little cabin. Definitely a cabin so no dishwasher and only one bathroom on the property. The place has a cool vibe, clearly a lengthy, storied history (guestbook dates back to the 70s!) Host was responsive and helpful whenever we needed. Cabin sits atop a pretty intense hill but that helps with the secluded old cabin vibe, makes getting to and from take some time but the included full kitchen and dining room meant we didn’t need to go out a ton. Nearby lake manzanita was a really cool little getaway spot we fished at a fair amount. Overall very happy with our stay and included amenities. :)
For a family of 6 adults, there was lots of space to stretch out and have our own beds. Overall, the cabin was clean, but it is definitely a cabin, with dust, cobwebs and older furniture. There is one private shower. We had a bear come visit our trash at night which was an excitement for us to experience. The kitchen is big and there is a separate wet bar, if that is your thing. There are tons of games to play. We tried one out. The owner was easy to communicate with. The lady who lives near by (who cleans the cabin) was kind and helpful too. I would consider staying there again.
It was getting late (13 hr drive for us)-The only host to ever message me to make sure we made it to the house ok. This hoise is grandmas house. When you walk in you see all grandma and grandpas treasures. So fun to walk around and look at the beautiful lady in the pic in the bathroom window. Or grandpa's Pearl Harbor Survivor plate. You can quickly figure out what kind of beer grandpa liked. From black and white wedding pictures to JC Penny pictures.A memorable stay for sure. If you the minimalist type, or very OCD about spaces-this isnt the house for you. If you like naps at grandmas house and a beer on the back porch for sunset, and feeling like your family as soon as you walk in-book it. Mountain views are fantastic. House is well stocked. Bed was comfy.We both have lost our grandparents & our parents. If an extra grand daughter needed- I'm available for adoption anytime.
