This house is the perfect get away in a quiet area near Yosemite. They were very accommodating with our dogs and the backyard is fully fenced to keep them safe. The house was very clean with beautiful furnishings and a nicely stocked kitchen for cooking and relaxing. I highly recommend this home and the hosts are very kind and quick to respond. We will definitely stay here again if we return to that area!

Great place to stay!

Lambert and Jackie have a nice property that gets you away to some peace and quiet after a long day of hanging with crowds in Yosemite. House is comfy, clean, and well-stocked. Open and quick communication with Lambert was excellent - though we didn't have any issues while there, always nice to know the owners care about their guests. Recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to Yosemite.

Yosemite Bucket List

A group of 7 stayed at this property, ages ranging from 15 to 84. Our oldest family member wanted to see sequoia trees and we chose this house as our hub. The house is as advertised, well appointed, and conveniently located near Oakhurst. We had deer in the yard twice, saw tons of quail, and other birds. One small issue occurred and the Lamberts were very prompt and helpful. We would highly recommend this home. It was very clean, quiet, and a great spot!

The first night, a neighbor dog barked nearly all night. Nothing against the homeowner here, but worth noting.The kitchen supplies are a little lacking. Could use a cookie sheet or two for roasting vegetables.The master bed is really soft. Expect to sink into it.

Hi Andrew, we got plugged in recently and read your review. I’m sorry about one of the neighbors dog barking, they must have been gone for the night I assume. Wanted to let you know that we did have some standard oven trays in the drawer under the oven, but perhaps you didn’t see them? We did have a baking sheet but the cleaning crew couldn’t find one when I asked them to look for it, so it’s gone missing and they didn’t notice. I apologize it was missed and is now being replaced. If you had reached out to either of us or our manager during your stay we could have helped you find the oven trays we did have, in the event you didn’t see them. We do have a king size memory foam mattress in the master and memory foam can feel on the softer side for some. We openly welcome feedback from our guests as we genuinely care about our guests experience. Jackie

Not completely satisfied

It was very unfortunate that the AC, was not working the first day of our stay. Sleeping was really not comfortable at all. We saw a few ants and spiders inside the property which was scary specifically for my kids. I believe the owner or management should check the property before guest arrive.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 June 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry the a/c wasn't working upon arrival! It was functioning while the cleaning crew was there the day before. Unfortunately these things can go out without warning. We did our very best in getting the condenser fan motor replaced first thing the next day. In regards to ants and spiders on our property, our property is well maintained with regular cleanings inside and we also have a contract with Eco Strike a green pest control company that services our home to help minimize bugs and pests. However, our home is in the Sierra mountains, so the occasional ant or spider may still show up from time to time, especially in these warmer months. I did mention your feedback to our manager so she can be aware of your concerns. We appreciate your comments and are always looking for ways to improve as we genuinely do our best to provide a wonderful stay for our guests.

National Parks Trip

My family enjoyed our stay. The house itself was lovely and comfortable—plenty of space and clean. We felt at home when cooking meals and hanging out while we were there. The openness of the floor plan made it very easy for everyone to be together and participate in activities and conversations while also providing a loft, outside seating areas (in the front and the back), and space to be alone or relax as needed. The location was nice as well. Oakhurst had a quaintness to it, but was also large enough for the convenience of big-name grocery stores and options for restaurants. We even did an Art/Wine hop. The property was close to Yosemite and a nice drive to Kings Canyon and Sequoia. We enjoyed seeing multiple parks and having one place to call home during our stay. The owners provided speedy and appropriate responses as needed. Very polite and obliging. Highly recommended. Beautiful area!

Our stay was nice with a few exceptions. 1. The sliding door to the back needs work it was difficult to open and close.a screen door on the slider would have been nice. 2. Main restroom toilet is leaking at the base.3. Back bedroom with twin beds. There was a pair of dirty little girls underwear.4. Master bedroom toilet handle needs to be replaced flapper stays open. Also the sink faucet is loose. 5 the barbecue grill had a busted wheel and bricks were placed under corner. 6. We found an old hot dog bun behind the bench outside.The recycle garbage can at the street was over filled and I think the neighbors dogs knocked it over and trash was all over the street.

Hello Gilbert, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the inconveniences you experienced. The washing machine unfortunately began leaking while our cleaners were doing laundry prior to your arrival and we regret that this issue affected your stay. We informed you as soon as we were made aware, but unfortunately could not get it repaired that same day. We also sincerely apologize for the items missed during the cleaning process—we have addressed this with them directly to ensure greater attention to detail moving forward. We hold our cleaning crew to very high standard, in fact we require photos of every room after every clean. Regarding the trash, it was most likely a bear. Bears are known to pass through the area during this season, and we do what we can to prevent them from getting into the trash. Inevitably, they do still get into it from time to time, most often when the trash is taken out for pick up. If you had notified us of this during your stay, our manager would have come by and made sure it was all cleaned up again. We truly appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We have addressed these concerns with our manager and cleaning crew. We genuinely care and want to ensure all of our guests have a great experience during their stay. Jackie & Lambert

Beautiful, clean, modern, comfortable

The hosts obviously care about their guests as evidenced by the level of detail found in each room. The feeling is warm, but modern. The décor is neutral with just the right pops of color. The kitchen is supplied with all necessary tools to prepare a full meal, even including condiments and spices. In the garage are all cushions to outdoor furniture left clearly marked, cleanly and conveniently placed in zip-up bags. The smart thermostat and a/c works very well and kept us plenty cool. Very nice TV sets in living room and master with remote controls. Finally, the house is in a lovely forest setting with gas fire pit and seating in the front and picnic table, bench and charming dinette set (just off the master) in the back. Beyond the material quality of the place, our host was positive and quickly responded to all my inquiries. I highly recommend vacationing at this fine house!

Great location for exploring

The house was perfect for our needs. We had 2 adults and one 12 year old. We visited Yosemite and Sequoia national parks. The house was very clean and all instructions were good with accessing the house. Communication with the home owners was easy and quick. We didn't cook much so I can't say if they had everything but they certainly had a good assortment of cookware and utensils. Bathrooms were stocked with plenty of towels and beds were comfy. I would definitely stay here again if I were to re-visit the parks.

Great house

We have nothing but positive things to say about our stay at this Oakhurst home. Lambert and Jackie make booking and check in easy and the house is well equipped. We cooked dinner each night during our stay as we were tired from long days exploring Yosemite. The drive to the park entrance is an easy one. Comfortable, clean and quiet and tasteful. What more can you ask for in a vacation rental?

Don’t miss the opportunity to stay in this wonderful home and be this close to Yosemite!

We flew into SFO airport and drove to Oakhurst for a visit with our son who lives and attends school in Fresno. We had no idea what to expect as we had never been to California, but we wanted to see Yosemite while there. Lambert and Jackie were quick to respond to any questions we had and very helpful. We arrived easily with the directions they provided and found everything we needed to have a home cooked dinner on the table in about an hour. Our son, his fiancé and her parents joined us for dinner and there was ample room to spread out in the comfortable living area afterwards. The next morning we drove to Glacier Point and watched the sun come up over Half Dome. It was about 45 minutes to drive and we’ll worth getting up early for- simply beautiful!! Location of the house is great and very peaceful with mountain views from the upstairs loft and watching the deer from the back patio. This is a perfect place for families or couples looking for a relaxing vacation. Everything in this home was top notch and we will definitely come back again if we get the opportunity!

About the host

Hosted by Jackie and Lambert

Host profile image
We love adventure, love to travel and love good food. This home has been our escape from the big city - a place to recharge, breathe fresh air, spend quality family time and find inspiration. We feel very fortunate to have found this home in this special place and are excited to be able to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

Our home is located in a smaller subdivision with rather large lots. We are located just a few minutes to the town Oakhurst and a few minutes off of HWY 41 which leads directly into Yosemite Valley. Our home is also conveniently just a few minutes away from Bass Lake which offers fun activities during the summer months and has several great hiking trails that can be accessed almost year round.
