Great get-away

We have been coming up to Bass Lake for years and Nancy's property was one on the best we have stayed in. Clean, roomy, and well equipped. The garden was lovely. Wished we would have been able to stay longer in this gem of cabin! We hope to get back next year!

good value

We had a pleasant stay at the property. The cabin was clean and in a good location. It has one full bathroom, and another half bathroom outside the cabin that is shared by tenants in the first floor; which made it somewhat inconvenient in cold nights.

Very comfy

The is very comfortable from the livingroom abd all the beds. Very clean and well stocked. My communication with Nancy was prompt and pleasant. I was here with 5 of my teen grandsons and they hiked from here and enjoyed the firepit after dark. I highly recommend this cabin for a cozy stay.

Clean and cute yard

The house was clean and stocked with everything needed. Couches were comfy and was nice to come back and relax on them after time at the lake. The projector screen was nice once we figured out how to Stream our phones to it and the WiFi was strong too. Would have been nice to have some directions on how to do that, spent some time trying to figure it out. Being that it was so hot this week, the house was like an oven when we first arrived and took a while for it to cool down but once we got it cooled off it was comfortable. Nice that there was a lot of firewood cut up and available for use. Fridge and stove were all clean. Overall, house was very clean and cozy for myself and my two kids. Would stay here again.

Average Stay/Experience

Our stay at the property was passable but it wasn't great. The outside of the property was dirty. The outdoor furniture did not look as though it had been wiped down for springtime use or guest. Cobwebs, dust and dirt covered the patio and all of the furniture. The description of the house should include that there is no TV. While we were not there to watch TV, it is nice to be able to turn on the news in the morning when you are getting ready or have a sitcom on at night while you're winding down. It would have been a nice heads up that there is no TV. Since there is a cleaning fee charged to the guest in addition to the nightly charge, I'm not sure why guests are asked to wipe down things before they leave. Would not stay here again.

Wedding & Yosemite

We came to Bass Lake for a wedding, but since it was such a long way (driving from Colorado), we decided to stay a few extra days to go to Yosemite. The home was a restful cozy nest after a bust school year. Thank you!

We were at Bass lake for a half marathon and visit to Yosemite.

Perfect location. Home well stocked with more than expected or needed. Sofas were cozy comfy napping or reading places. Our host responded to questions and concerns promptly. Since we were all adults recommend no more than 2 vehicles for parking.

Good location near the lake and Yosemite!

Overall we enjoyed our stay at the property but it is worth noting that the second bathroom is located outside the main house in the laundry room which was not appealing to us. It was within walking distance to lake which was great and we loved the projector screen to watch movies at night.

Lovely cabin for a family vacation

Everyone loved this property. It was beautiful and very clean. The garden was adorable and there was a play yard for children. The hostess thought of everything one could possibly need if forgotten at home. If we ever come here again, we will definitely stay here.

A peaceful mtn retreat.

Our fam of 5 wanted desperately to hide in the mtns like sasquatches per covid guidelines. We brought clothes and food and took advantage of the sless traveled south side of the Yosemite Mtns. The drive was easy and traffic free since it was the southern route away from Yosemite's main entrance and Sac and Tahoe traffic. We sled all day down untouched mtns and came back to a woodstove warm home with boardgames and movie nights and cozy feels. It was splendid and memorable. Thank you!

Cozy winter getaway

Spent the weekend here after a significant winter storm in the region. Kids wanted to see and play in the snow and there was plenty of it. The home is very cozy and comfortable. The wood stove kept us warm. The house was fully stocked with blankets, pillows, and towels. Kitchen had everything you need. No need to bring anything up except your clothes and food. Only drawback is parking when there is snow in the area. Spent the first hour there digging out parking spots along the access road as we could not make it up the grade leading up to the house. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Family Hangout!

This place was great. Nancy was super accommodating with the fires/air quality, and very clear with check-in and check-out instructions. The house was kid-friendly with toys, a swing set, and a projector screen. There was even an apple tree. The place is central to hikes and the lake, and only 20 minutes from the gate at Yosemite. We’ll be back for sure!

As a family we have enjoyed adventuring in the Sierras for many years. The amazing beauty of Yosemite, hiking to Half Dome, walking through the valley floor and swimming in the Merced River. Love having the cabin to relax in at the end of the day. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Pat and Nancy
