This house was so amazing! It was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need and very clean upon arrival. Rhonda, our host, was quickly responsive with any questions and accommodating with any requests. The property was beyond beautiful and a quick walk from the Fresno River. We will absolutely look at this house for any future trips with a large group!

We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday here this past weekend and had the best time! Our host, Ronda, was very accommodating. The property was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed the porch with the swing, the hot tub, the 20ft pool and the beautiful scenery. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The kids enjoyed fishing in the private pond and caught multiple fishes. The adults enjoyed the outdoor bar area that had an awesome sound system. Overall, this was an amazing property and we really enjoyed our stay!

Phenomenal property!! We had 15 people (9 children, 6 adults) all were very comfortable. Everything was so beautiful and meticulously maintained. It was pretty hot for our trip (mid to high 90's) but the AC in the home worked very well.We enjoyed all the amenities, Pool, hot tub, gym, pond, piano, massage chair. Theres endless games and books for all ages. The outdoor bar area was fantastic.Coffee in the mornings on the front porch before it got hot and watching all the little rabbits running around was my favorite. We would love to return :-)

We had a wonderful time here! Plenty of room for our group of 7 adults. The kitchen was amazing and well stocked with cookware and every appliance we needed. The property grounds were awesome, we enjoyed the porch, hot tub, pool, and bar. We even caught some fish in the pond which was a lot of fun. The location is great - close to Oakhurst but far away enough to be quiet and peaceful. Bass lake is very close and fun to boat. Several nearby hiking trails were excellent - highly recommend angel falls. Overall, a great place and a great stay!

We rented this gorgeous home this past weekend. A group of 5 best friends we had a fantastic time together in this home . Out fishermen would not leave the pond we had a great time ladies night in the hot tub pool day. Had an outdoor bar which was so much fun. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who would love to have a great experience with family or friends. The home was fully furnished large enough for everyone to have their own private time . Then we did go to the bass lake and local bar which was so much fun
