One of the best rentals my group and I have stayed at! Group of 11 with two dogs and our only regret is that we couldn’t extend our trip. Def will look into renting this place again!!!
The view is absolutely stunning and the outdoor activities provide fun for the whole family!
James and Dee were very responsive to any questions I had. There was a problem with one of the steps and James was there within minutes to fix it. The backyard was the main focus of our time here. Our daughter was married in Yosemite. We had the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception in the backyard. The long table was great for our whole family to sit and enjoy our time together. There was plenty of room for pur family. Sunsets were beautiful. My family loved playing pool and cornhole.
We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the backyard and the game room. We played air hockey, billiards, and ping pong. The pool area was very nice and we were able to enjoy the incredible sunsets. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Our family has been coming to Basslake for over 50 years, but this was our first time staying in Oakhurst. We absolutely loved it!!! Dee (property manager) was so kind and helpful and she showed us everything we needed to know about the Villa. We had a large group of 12, including teens, kids, toddlers and they all had a blast. Our whole family enjoyed the pool/jacuzzi and the sunset view really makes you appreciate Mother Nature. Gorgeous! The house was fully stocked and rooms/bedding were plentiful and comfortable. They really thought of everything! Plus - It’s only about a 15 min drive to the Pines/BassLake and same to Oakhurst town. Thank you so much for sharing your home. We had a magical time and cannot wait to come back next year!
My family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teens, 1 child) and my sister’s family of 3 (2 adults, 1 child) just had one of our best vacations ever visiting Yosemite and Bass Lake while staying at this gorgeous property. I cannot reiterate enough how amazing the pool area outside is! From the youngest kid to the oldest adult, we all wanted to spend as much time out there as possible! Dee, the property manager, is so helpful and communicated with us starting the week before, day of and throughout our 5 night stay. She was very responsive when we had concerns and even brought us a toaster oven and air fryer since the oven in the house needs to be replaced. (Yes, we spent lots of time at the house to enjoy the outdoor pool area and views of the mountains, so we wanted to cook!) I gave the home a 4 star on cleanliness of property only because there are areas (semi-hidden, but not completely) where things have been “stored” that are broken or need to be repaired that really just need to be hauled off the property - however these things in no way hindered our stay! The only other thing is there is constant drip right in front of the front door that you have to step to the side to not get dripped on when you walk outside. Dee mentioned this but it never stopped and the rug was sopping wet when left from it, so it is something that needs to be addressed. We would definitely stay here again! Distance to Bass Lake is 15 minutes Yosemite gate 30 minutes. Awesome location!
We were thrilled to stay in such a comfortable and spacious compound and to have such a short commute into Yosemite National Park.
This place was so nice it was tempting to not leave a review in hopes there would be more availability for us to return in the future. The views are incredible, the photos can't do them justice. It isn't a luxury home on the interior but that wasn't what our group was interested in. It was a little small for our group of 8 adult friends that weren't interested in sharing beds, but we obviously knew that going in and spent nearly all of our time outdoors so we didn't mind. The outdoor space is fantastic. Too cold to use the pool in April but nobody minded, or really had any plans to swim outdoors in April in the mountains to begin with. There was a cat on the property that we were asked to not let inside but it proved too difficult to achieve as it was determined to get in the door at all times. If you open the door to carry something out it would zip in. Extremely cute & friendly cat but worth noting in case a member of your party is allergic. For us the cute and friendly cat was a value add. Unanimous vote among all 8 of us that it is worthy of a repeat stay in the future if they will have us. We have done this trip every year for 10 years or so and this is only the 2nd place we have wanted to do a repeat.
House is perfect and cozy with everything you need. The property is really cool with the large enclosed area, we enjoyed the views from there as well as the hot tub. Easy location with access to the town for all the essentials.
Absolutely 5 stars- our favorite vacation rental ever!! The outdoor spaces is gorgeous and the hospitality from Dee is amazing!
This was a great VRBO experience, great house and pool!
Beautiful home with all the amenities, the pool area with hot tub is gorgeous, sunsets are incredible. Close to restaurants, shopping, Bass Lake and Yosemite.
What a totally amazing property- we felt like we were at our own personal resort. The outdoors has everything you need to have a completely wonderful family vacation - with the most breathtaking views. The house was nice too with good space to be with a large group. But honestly we barely spent time indoors. Sadly the week we were there the Yosemite fire had started so we could not easily get into Yosemite - we were just so grateful for the fantastic house as we had so much fun hanging out there.
We stayed here for our trip to Yosemite. It is 90 minutes to the valley floor and 30 to the Mariposa Sequoia grove. The views are amazing, the pool was great for hot days and the games were really fun for hanging out. A nice bonus is that the town Oakhurst is very close so while you feel you're not near anything based on the views, you're 10 minutes from groceries, donuts (Judys donuts) and stores/gas. One thing to mention, there are two friendly cats that hang around the property outside. They didn't really bother us but definitely stayed around us while we were outside.
My family had such an amazing time at the Villa. The grounds were beyond our expectations. The home provided everything one could need or want. Thank you James and of course Dee, you were exceptional.
The home & Grounds were Amazing. My kids enjoyed the pool extremely (although heated water would've allowed the adults to swim as well) but the Hot Tub made up for it!! We also Loved the game room. Playing Pool was definitely a hit for our older boys. The Views were Breathtakingly Beautiful. Sunsets were Amazing!! We will DEFINITELY be back!! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Arthur & Dory Cordova & Family 7-2022
Everything was fantastic! The property was better than advertised with every amenity we could imagine. Remarkable views and the mountain breeze kept us comfortable on hot days.
Couldn't have asked for more from our stay. Delightful property, beautiful landscaping, tons of space. Grill worked great, hot tub was large enough for seven, view was excellent, and easy proximity to the town of Oakhurst. Even well-stocked with kitchen gear if you want to cook and eat at the property. Also, Dee was quick to respond when we had any questions. Looking forward to my next stay.
Perfect place to enjoy family time and incredible views. Played games and soaked in the hot tub while enjoying the best views ever!
