Oso Lodge Unit B - Park Boundary, Fireplace & EV

Summary:
Flames flicker behind a river rock hearth while tall pines sway past the windows, and a trailhead waits just 30 feet from the driveway. This one bedroom retreat sits on the western boundary of Yosemite National Park, about nine miles from the heart of Yosemite Valley and a 15 minute drive to Tunnel View. Cook in a granite kitchen, gather around a table for six, charge your EV, then hike straight into the park from your front door.

The Space:
Step off the wooden entry deck, past a river rock stone wall shaded by towering pines, and into a bright, open living space with wood floors and a beadboard ceiling. A gas fireplace set in river rock with a log mantel anchors the room, recliners and a sofa face the flat screen TV, and a granite breakfast bar connects everything to the kitchen. With 800 square feet, a single queen bedroom, and a trail just steps from the driveway, this is a cozy base for couples and small families who want to spend their days inside Yosemite National Park.

For larger groups, this condo can be rented together with Oso Lodge upstairs.

Sleeping Arrangements
Total occupancy: 4 guests
Total beds: 2

The layout suits a couple or a small family: one private bedroom for the adults, plus a sofa in the living area for additional guests.

Bedroom 1 features a queen bed on a black iron frame, dressed in branch print bedding and flanked by matching nightstands and lamps. A ceiling fan turns beneath the beadboard ceiling, Yosemite landscape art hangs on the walls, and a wooden armoire and rustic double door closet give you room to unpack for the week.

The living area adds a sofa for extra guests, ideal for kids or a friend tagging along.

Bathrooms
The full bathroom pairs a granite topped vanity and framed mirror with a knotty pine ceiling and playful chipmunk photo art. A white walk in shower with a curved rod rinses off the trail dust, and toiletries are provided.

Living Areas
The living room is made for slow evenings after long days on the trail. Sink into a recliner beside the river rock fireplace, put a movie on the flat screen with the DVD player, or watch the pines through the large front windows. Wildlife and forest artwork add mountain character throughout.

Kitchen & Dining
The white shaker kitchen features granite countertops, a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and a stainless side by side refrigerator, with a window over the sink and a river rock column beside the breakfast bar. A coffee maker, toaster, blender, ice maker, baking sheet, and wine glasses are ready for you. Pull up a stool at the granite peninsula for morning coffee, or gather around the wooden dining table for six. In warmer months, fire up the BBQ grill for dinner outdoors.
