We came during a winter storm, so we had high winds and lots of rain, so we were not able to enjoy all of the beauty that the outdoors provides but it was still amazing nonetheless. The home came with everything we needed for our stay, which made it extremely convenient and we were very grateful for. Dee was Available by text and was quick to respond. The location is remote and made this stay even more special. We can picture us being back to enjoy this place during the summer, we can't wait to book it!

Mountain Retreat

This Oakhurst property was perfect for our getaway. The mountain views were stunning, and the pool was a refreshing escape. We loved having a basketball and pickleball court on-site—great fun for everyone. The house was well designed, spacious, and well-equipped. The outdoor area, with plenty of seating and a grill, was a big plus. Proximity to Yosemite was a bonus. Highly recommend for a relaxing and active stay!

Family stay and wedding event

This property was beautiful. Our daughter was married in Yosemite and we hosted a dinner here after. It is a stunning property. There was a ton of communication with the property manager who also offered to assist when it looked like the rental company would be late picking up tables and tableware. There is everything you need to entertain. The villa is so comfortable and spacious. I wish I could upload pictures. Would highly recommend.

place was great, lot of fun

Place was great, we had planned on bringing our entire family, but the air quality was poor from the fire, which made it unpleasant . Our kids and our granddaughter opted out because of the smoke. We really enjoyed the house, especially the game room and the swimming pool ( but the air quality limited how much time we wanted to spend by the pool). The house very comfortable and relaxing, we hope to come back in the future

The property sits on top of a hill and has gorgeous 200+ degree views, including from the front porch. The pool and adjoining area are huge. It’s also fully gated, a plus if you bring you pet. The property manager and owner were attentive. The only downside of the property—and not the fault of the property—is that’s about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Yosemite floor. But it’s close to the southern entrance of the park and close to Oakhurst for shopping and restaurants. I would definitely return.

Fabulous backyard

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.

Best Family Vacation EVER!

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!

6/10 Okay

The accommodations were fantastic. The views were spectacular. A house keeper is needed.

We arrived at the house only to find it still needed to be cleaned properly. The floors were not swept nor carpets vacuumed. Bathroom sinks had not been cleaned, nor mirrors or showers. The stove and kitchen counters were not cleaned, and food from prior renters was still in the refrigerator. After we spent two hours cleaning, vacuuming and discarding old food, we were finally able to settle in. The Caretaker was alerted to our concerns, and requests for repairs of necessary items were happily met. The views and surroundings were spectacular. More attention to detail is necessary when spending this kind of money on a vacation.

Peaceful, Beautiful and Rejuvenating

This trip was my gift to my son and his family for his 40th birthday. My daughter-in-law and I selected this lovely property because it checked all the boxes. We wanted a place that my son could unwind and relax in nature. We chose this property because of the location to Yosemite, the amenities, (pool, jacuzzi, games) and also, because this host allowed pets in the home. After reading the reviews we knew this was the place we would call home base for one week. We did not allow my son to see the property until we arrived. This lovely villa did not disappoint! When we drove up, we had a big reveal and a tour with the property manager, Dee who was warm and welcoming. She helped make the arrival a true celebration, she even hung up a happy birthday banner-it was a very nice touch. My son was extremely happy with our booking. All communication with the host, (James) was stellar. He was prompt in responses, very kind and extremely flexible. Dee was equally great, she provided recommendations to local spots in and around Bass lake, which we acted on and enjoyed them all. It was as my son put it, "a vacation to remember"! My granddaughters loved it too. As a mother and a grammy, I was overjoyed to see my family so happy! We will be back again! Thank you James and Dee!

Wow

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.
