Around the Area
This home is located in a quiet neighborhood in Oakhurst, California in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Oakhurst and the nearby town of Mariposa were both settled during the Gold Rush and delight guests with their Wild West roots, diverse dining options, and unique attractions, like a mineralogy museum, a steam train ride, and historical villages. In this area, it’s easy to do tons of outdoor activities like skiing, tubing, water sports, sky diving, canoeing, horseback riding, climbing, and off-road excursions.
The biggest draw to this area is, of course, Yosemite National Park. The South Gate Entrance in Fish Camp is a 20-minute drive from the house and driving through Yosemite Valley takes about 1.5 hours, although travel times do get longer during weekend rush hours and holidays.
Yosemite is world-renowned for its incredible natural beauty. Within its roughly 1,200 square miles, you’ll find deep valleys, picturesque meadows, giant sequoias, countless waterfalls, expansive wilderness, and miles of scenic hiking trails. There are endless opportunities for adventure, whether it’s hiking, biking, fishing, birdwatching, horseback riding, rock climbing (El Capitan is the biggest rock monolith in the world), stargazing, swimming, boating, skiing, snowshoeing, or scenic drives.
In Yosemite and the surrounding area, you’ll have opportunities to view plenty of wildlife, including deer, turkeys, squirrels, hawks, and rabbits. You may even see a coyote, bear, mountain lion, raccoon, opossum, skunk, rattlesnake, tarantula, or scorpion! And be mindful of the poison oak and poison ivy that are part of the natural surroundings.
Our location is also convenient to beautiful Bass Lake, a recreational area known for excellent fishing, hiking, wakeboarding, and watersports. Bass Lake is about 15 minutes from the house.
It’s truly magical to immerse yourself in the natural splendor of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Pets are welcome!
Please clean up after your pets and keep them on leashes as there is a high risk of wildlife encounters including occasional rattlesnakes.
No smoking/vaping. No parties or events.
Security:
There is an outdoor camera overlooking the parking area for security purposes. Smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers are also available.
Wildfires:
Please note that all of California, including the Sierra Nevada area, seasonally experiences wildfires between June and November. This is a natural occurrence. (Some plant species like sequoias actually need fire to reproduce!) During high fire risk season, you might experience poor air quality and there is a strict prohibition of setting outdoor fires during this time.
Snow Tires:
If you’re visiting in the winter, please be prepared to carry snow chains. While this property is below the snow line and it does not typically snow here, these are the Tire Chain Requirements:
Snowy or icy road conditions are common in the mountains of California, including Yosemite, from fall through spring. When these conditions exist, federal regulations (in Yosemite) and state law (outside Yosemite) require that you use chains or cables in order to reduce the chances of accidents. If roads are icy or snowy, expect chain controls to be in effect. On the roads where this is happening in the park, there will frequently be a park ranger checking vehicles and reminding them to install tire chains at this point if necessary. Snow chains are usually not mandatory for 4x4 drive and winter tires.
Power Outages:
Lastly, short power outages (less than 3 hours) occur in this area a few times a year. Because this house is not equipped with a generator, when there are power outages, there is no heating, cooling, hot water, or electrical appliances.
Guests will need a vehicle for their stay.
The closest airport is Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT ~1 hour away). There is no local taxi company or car service available in the area.
Guests are welcome to message us. We’re happy to help.
