Loved our stay at the cosy fire escape cabin

Really enjoyed the cabin good location, clean and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Close to Bass lake and one hour away from Yosemite south entrance, the drive to this is beautiful.

Lovely peaceful well equipped cabin

We are a family of four and stayed for four nights over Christmas. The cabin was magical - fairy lights, decorated mini tree, warm and welcoming. We cooked full English Christmas lunch with all the trimmings (kitchen was so well equipped) and ate out on back porch as the weather was gorgeous. The cabin was spotless, and very comfortable. Some nice walks in the area as well going into the National Park. The visitors center downtown was a very good source of information, along with flyers in the cabin. Loved seeing the wild turkeys around the cabin .

Super Cute

The property is just as described… super cute. Communication with the property owner was easy. Our only regret was that we could not have stayed longer.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Barreto

Our family includes myself and my husband, as well as our three children. We love to camp, garden, swim, hike and vacation. We also enjoy music and photography. My husband is in the fire service and I am a flight attendant. We live on the Central Coast of California. We are involved with our children's activities and their schools making it hard to enjoy our cabin and the mountains as often as we would like. We enjoy sharing our cabin with others and knowing they will enjoy the wonderful experiences that the area offers.

Why they chose this property

After 10 years of visiting the Oakhurst/Bass Lake area we decided to purchase a second home there. We had dreamed of buying in the area for several years and often visited properties during our vacations. We purchased the cabin in 2004, but rented it to a full time tenant almost immediatly. We had several tenants over the years and didn't consider using it as a vacation home until February of 2009. We stocked the home with all of the comforts that other rentals we had stayed in offered. We also chose to decorate the cabin with items from the fire service, as we enjoyed the idea of sharing the toys/decor that we have collected over the years.

The location of the cabin is perfect for our needs. It is in a wooded residential neighborhood, offering the feeling of being in the mountains, but not feeling isolated. The drive into Yosemite is a short and scenic drive. The quaint town of Oakhurst offers all of the amenities that we need. From a movie theater to grocery stores. But our favorite is Bass Lake! We love the warm water and incredible views of the tree lined shores and scenic mountain backgrounds.

What makes this property unique

The cabin offers a wonderful central location. Some of the areas and activities that we have enjoyed while in the area include: Historic Yosemite Flats Park, trail rides on horse back, the historic Sierra Skyranch Inn (They offer some interesting ghost sighting stories and have been featured on several TV shows lately). We also have enjoyed a little gambling at Chuckcansi Casino in Coarsegold. A drive down historic Hwy 49 an hour or so are some of the historic gold country towns that we have enjoy visiting that include: Mariposa and (my kids favorite) Columbia. We have heard from several of our past renters that the central location for perfect for their visit to the area. We are thrilled they agree!
