Spacious, well-equipped Magical Getaway House
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Ponderosa Chalet. The hosts were very communicative and available to answer any questions. We enjoyed relaxing on the patio and grilling in the evenings. The sunsets and stargazing from the cozy hot tub were memorable highlights of the trip! We’d definitely return, and highly recommend for families seeking a spacious house for get togethers.

Best Sunset in a Quite Hillside Neighborhood
This property is tastefully decorated and was clean upon arrival. The communication ahead of our visit was great too. The best part is the patio area that faces West and has an unbeatable sunset view, a hot tub, fire pit and outdoor dining table. The only bummer - not the fault of the house - is the bugs at dusk. Several of us were bitten multiple times in one night. Bring bug spray! The garage-turned-game room was a bonus as well. There are some board games on hand but we didn’t see just a regular deck of cards that we wished we had packed. I highly recommend this house if you are coming to the area. We spent one day renting a boat on Bass Lake and another day renting a UTV from Yosemite Adventures and the location was convenient to both. We decided not to go to Yosemite NP because we kept reading about the crowds this summer, so I cannot comment on the accessibility from this location.

Chilling Outside of Yosemite
Quiet location where you can sit in the hot tub under the Milky Way after hiking and climbing in Yosemite. If you still have energy, you can goof around in the play room. Nice to sit outside and eat and watch the bats and the sunset from the deck is pretty epic.

Great place to stay for families
Beautiful views, comfortable beds and an overall great place to stay! Roads are a little tricky getting to the property so it would be good planning to arrive during the day and avoid having to drive at night. Restaurants in town close at 8, so plan accordingly if you will be eating out. Hosts were responsive and property is well kept. Overall, nice accomodations.
