Located on Highway 49, within minutes of Oakhurst, Bass Lake, Mariposa, and Yosemite National Park. Two routes offer easy access into Yosemite from this location . . . Southern entrance through Oakhurst (Hwy 41), and the West entrance through the quaint town of Mariposa (Hwy 140). Either route is a delightful drive.

A 4-acre property with live oak trees. It's a 2-story bunkhouse with modest, dorm-style accommodations, 20 miles from Yosemite National Park. Besides the 2 bedrooms &; 1 bathroom, the Common Room has 2 tables w/ chairs, full-size refrigerator, modest kitchenette (counter top with sink, and small appliances for simple cooking). In the bathroom, the shower and commode are separated from the two sinks by a door. There is a game room with ping pong, air hockey, corn hole, and a junior pool table. For youngsters, a kid-size pinball machine and basketball hoop are in the game room, as well.

NOTE: No formal kitchen or living room. Best use as a comfortable place to sleep after your day of mountain adventures. Recommend simple/camping type meals.

The base rate is for first 2 people. An extra fee applies for extra guests ($40 / night / person + 11.5% tax), up to 13 people (maximum occupancy), including children and babies. We can sleep a total of 15 people IF there is a baby in your group using the crib, and IF two people sleep in the double bed. (We have found that each additional person adds extra wear on the facility, and increases other costs, as well.)

For babies, we can provide one crib, changing table and high chair, upon request. Must include babies as children on your reservation. Thanks.

There is a small set of dishes, bowls, and flatware (enough for 4) in the Bunkhouse. Else, dishes are NOT provided. We highly recommend bringing disposable plates, bowls and flatware. Mugs are provided. This a true definition bunkhouse . . . two bedrooms, one restroom, modest kitchenette, NO living room. Instead, a Common Room for eating, playing board games, and preparing simple meals. A game room, and board games are available.

This is a mountain property with a septic system, and has one water heater. (For large groups, it may be necessary to allow recovery time between showers.)

    Dan and Judy are amazing hosts. Before our arrival, they prepared everything they could for us, including homemade cookies. The property is clean, huge, and close to Yosemite. Dan has been a guide at Yosemite for 12 years; he gave us helpful insights to get around the park. I've been to Yosemite multiple times and this definitely is the best place to stay near the park.

    We were visiting Yosemite national Park for a couple of days and this location was close enough to the south entrance for us to easily get in and out of the park. Dan and Judy were great hosts and we had a great time meeting them! :)

    Great place to stay! The location is excellent; it’s fairly close to the Yosemite entrance and mere minutes from Oakhurst where there are laundry facilities, groceries, and more. It’s also about 10-15 minutes away from Bass lake where you can go swimming, rent boats, or find various local restaurants. The Bunkhouse itself was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very helpful and kind. They had even provided extra toothpaste, shampoo, etc. We only had four people (all adults) but I think one could easily fit twice that number without feeling at all cramped. All-in-all, it was a great stay!

    The Ahwahnee Bunkhouse is one of the most unique places you can ever stay at. There is SO much room. The game room has the pool table, ping pong and air hockey with plenty of room for all to sit around and enjoy. Then there is the massive kitchen with 2 tables for plenty of family time. And then there are all of the beds to accommodate all of the quests. I brought my 2 boys. I took the downstairs all to myself, while each of my boys both got their own king size beds. Dan and Judy are extremely accommodating with plenty of bottles of spring, well water, tons of ice, freshly baked cookies and made sure that the AC was turned on well ahead of our return from our daily activities. Highly recommend!! Thanks for everything Dan and Judy! Chris

    This was my second stay at the Bunkhouse. The hosts are fabulous, the Bunkhouse is exactly as stated, and the proximity to Yosemite is very doable. I had a wonderful visit/time.
