Yosemite Bass Lake Finegold Retreat

North Fork, California, United States

Hello, we love to Host for Homeaway. br We are nestled just a few miles from Bass Lake and about 25 miles from the South Gate Hwy 41 Entrance. The Valley is 35 miles from the Southgate (approx. 1.5 hours in good conditions). I suggest getting an early start because travel times greatly increase during holidays and summer months. PLEASE CHECK YOSEMITE ABOVE FOR RESERVATIONS FOR SUMMER MONTHS. br Here, you will find a quaint private studio apartment that accommodates up to four people (two per bed). Currently there is one queen bed and one sofa bed (queen). Please note the price reflects for the first two people. There are additional charges for each person after. The apartment has a full mini kitchen furnished with dinnerware, coffee maker, microwave and necessities to enjoy an indoor meal.br Outdoors you will find the property peaceful and inviting with gorgeous views of Goat Mountain. The back yard is spacious and opens up to a path that leads to our seasonal Fine Gold Creek. (Please note: we are currently under some landscaping construction)br If, after visiting Yosemite or Bass Lake you still need something to do, you can check out North Fork and Bass Lake’s local attractions. Just down the road from Fine Gold Retreat is beautiful Manzanita Lake. It is a perfect little lake with the most peaceful setting for fishing, swimming or just hanging out to feed the ducks. It even has built-in grills so you can BBQ a few hamburgers. Manzanita Lake is one of my favorite places. Trust me; you will not regret taking the time to visit this special place. br North Fork is also home to the Mono Indian Museum and an art gallery that hosts local mountain artists. North Fork has the best pizza and Mexican food restaurant you could ask for.br Fourth of July weekend is a busy time for North Fork and Bass Lake. The weekend of July 4th, North Fork hosts our annual Loggers Jamboree where professionals and amateurs alike can show off their logging and timber skills. The jamboree is preceded by our local (OK, maybe a little corny) 4th of July parade.br Finally, we mustn’t forget about one of the best Independence Day fireworks displays at Bass Lake. People from all over the world come to celebrate the freedom of our wonderful country.

A Private Sierra Lake Sanctuary — Truly An Unforgettable Vacation Experience

North Fork, California, United States

Nested on 80 acres in the Serria Foothills with a private 3 acre lake. Just 6 miles to Bass Lake, 27 miles to Yosemite National Park South entrance and 45 miles from Fresno Yosemite International Airport. An unforgettable vacation experience. We believe that everyone deserves to escape the stresses of everyday life and enjoy some time in a beautiful, relaxing environment. Honeymoons, Family Retreats, Company or Team Meetings, Yoga Groups and more.brbrBuilt with intention. Steeped in history. Shared, now, with youbr________________________________________brHidden in the Sierra Nevada foothills above the small community of North Fork, California — the geographic heart of the state — this extraordinary open-beam lake house is not the kind of place you stumble upon. You have to know it exists. And once you've been here, you will not stop thinking about it.brConceived and built in 1992 by two of California's most remarkable figures, the house sits above its own private lake on a property that has been quietly tended as a bird and wildlife sanctuary for more than three decades. What they created here was never meant to impress. It was meant to endure — and it has.br________________________________________brThe HousebrThe architecture speaks immediately and directly to early California. Massive open beams span the main living space in great soaring arches — structural, unhurried, proud of their own craft — giving the interior the particular quality of silence that only old timber and honest construction can produce. This is not a house that tries to be rustic. It simply is, in the way that things built with care and genuine materials always are.brThe wrap-around veranda is where you will spend most of your time. It follows the house on all sides, wide and deep, oriented toward the lake, and it occupies that rare and perfect middle ground between indoors and out. Morning coffee here, as the mist lifts off the water. Evening wine here, as the light goes gold on the pines and the herons settle in the shallows below. The veranda does not compete with the landscape. It frames it.br________________________________________brThe Lake & The LandbrThe lake is private. That word carries real weight here — no other guests, no passing boats, no strangers on the opposite shore. The water is yours for the duration of your stay, along with everything that lives around it.brThe property has never been landscaped in the conventional sense. Instead, over thirty years, it has become a genuine sanctuary for the wildlife of the Sierra foothills. Great blue herons work the shallows with ancient patience. Acorn woodpeckers conduct their boisterous communal lives in the pines above the house. Osprey hunt the lake. Wood ducks and mergansers move through in season. At dusk, mule deer come to the water's edge. The land does not perform wildness for your benefit — it simply is wild, quietly and completely, and you are invited into it.br________________________________________brThe Story Behind the HousebrThe house was built by J.S. Holliday — known to Californians simply as Jim — one of the great historians of the American West, whose landmark work The World Rushed In gave the Gold Rush its fullest and most human account. Jim spent his career listening to the voices of the forty-niners who had flooded into these very Sierra foothills more than a century before him, and when he came to North Fork, he understood instinctively that he was on storied ground. The Sierra Nevada had been drawing people toward something essential about themselves for a very long time.brHis partner in building the house was Belinda Vidor, daughter of the legendary Hollywood director King Vidor — a man whose films had swept across the American landscape with a visual hunger and a deep belief that geography shapes the soul. Belinda inherited that eye. She understood the property the way her father understood a location: not as a backdrop but as a living protagonist, a place that told its own story if you were willing to be still enough to hear it.brTogether, they built a house that honored both of those sensibilities — the historian's reverence for what came before, and the filmmaker's daughter's instinct for what a place, properly seen, can reveal. The open beams reach back into early California vernacular. The veranda opens outward toward the lake and the mountains. The land is left to its own life. The result is a home that feels, from the moment you arrive, as if it has always been exactly here.br________________________________________brNorth Fork, CaliforniabrNorth Fork sits in Madera County at approximately 2,600 feet elevation — high enough for cool summers and brilliant autumn color, accessible enough for a long weekend. The surrounding Sierra Nevada foothills are Gold Rush country, full of history and hiking and small mountain towns that time has treated gently. Yosemite National Park is within easy reach. Bass Lake is minutes away. But the most compelling reason to come to North Fork is this property itself — a place that has no interest in competing with anywhere else.br________________________________________brThe house accommodates families and small groups. It is a place for people who understand that the rarest luxury is not what a property offers, but what it asks of you — to slow down, to pay attention, to remember what California was before it was in such a hurry.brSome places are worth finding.br________________________________________
