Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Privacy, Game Room, and Amazing Mountain Sunset Views!
Escape to the Ponderosa Chalet, a newly remodeled retreat nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains. With stunning sunset views and breathtaking mountain vistas, this retreat is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Conveniently located near Bass Lake, downtown Oakhurst, and Yosemite's South Gate, it offers a peaceful retreat and a convenient base for exploring Yosemite. Enjoy soaking in the hot tub, grilling up a delicious meal on the deck, or spending the evening in the game room by the fire pit. The Ponderosa Chalet is the perfect place for a fun and relaxing getaway.
Living room: The Ponderosa Chalet's living room is a cozy open space, perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring the mountains. Kick back on the comfortable furniture and watch TV or simply enjoy the company of your friends and family.
Bedrooms: The Ponderosa Chalet has 3 bedrooms, each with comfortable beds and plenty of storage space for your belongings.
Bathrooms: The Ponderosa Chalet features 2 bathrooms, each stocked with towels and basic amenities.
Game room: The large private game room at The Ponderosa Chalet is stocked with all the entertainment you need. Challenge your friends and family to a game of pool or ping pong on regulation size tables, or kick back and watch a movie on the big screen TV.
Outdoor space: Step outside onto the backyard patio and soak in the stunning mountain sunset views while relaxing in the brand new 7-seater hot tub. Fire up the gas-powered BBQ (gas included!) and cook up a delicious meal as you take in the fresh mountain air.
With a fully stocked kitchen, central heating and AC, and a range of indoor and outdoor amenities, The Ponderosa Chalet is perfect for friends, couples, and families looking to relax and unwind in the mountains.
As our guest, you will have full access to the entire property, including the living areas, bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, and outdoor spaces. Feel free to make yourself at home and enjoy all that our Ponderosa Chalet by The Great Yosemite Retreat has to offer.
