About this property

Evoking the chalets of Solvang, this gorgeous Oakhurst home is your gateway to Yosemite. This adorable, gingerbread-style home has been beautifully crafted from locally milled pine from nearby Bass Lake. Complete with a private sauna, this mountain fantasy is rich with soaring wood-beam ceilings and warm furnishings throughout, including a separate sun room, living area, and loft.

Fireside ambiance abounds, with a huge fireplace in the living room and a wood-burning stove in the sunroom.

An indoor, loft balcony extends out over the living area and leads through to the upstairs bedroom. French doors separate the sunroom from the main living area, bar, full country kitchen, main bedroom, and main bath. On the lower level, you'll find a family room, bathroom, and laundry room.

Relax in the private sauna or challenge your guests to some friendly competition with a few rounds of air hockey in the garage/game room. This gaming area also features a massage gaming chair, a mini-fridge, and a TV that guests can hook up a gaming system for endless hours of fun!

The peaceful, zen-like exterior is made up of meandering rock paths, decks, and gazebos, with a waterfall feature feeding into a small brook that crosses the backyard and fills a small, rock pond. Enjoy your favorite beverage while taking in the splendor of the Sierras from your backyard sanctuary.

From this convenient location, you'll be walking distance from bars, shopping, and dining in Oakhurst. Bass Lake and Yosemite National Park (South Entrance) are both just a short drive away.

Comfortable, cozy stay

This house is even cuter than the photos. We were very comfortable in the chalet - the yard, furniture and sauna were particularly nice. The pull-out couch is too uncomfortable to sleep on and I'd recommend planning on sleeping on an air mattress instead. We slept 10 in the house; the three beds are great but the air mattresses were necessary. Also, the air hockey table was broken - it looks like the plug was damaged before we arrived. Otherwise, this house is awesome and has molt things you would need stocked. Melanie was an amazing, communicative host - check in/out were very easy, and she provided great local recommendations. We'd definitely stay here again!

Great Location! Adorable Home!

This property is located close to highway 41, which gives it easy access to the west entrance OR the south entrance of Yosemite. Oakhurst is a great place to stay when visiting Yosemite (the purpose of our stay).There is a great grocery store nearby (Raleys) and the guys at the Cool Bean coffee shop were amazing with local info. We enjoyed eating at 41 Smokehouse and El Cid Mexican Restaurant. The house is very cute and has a really nice area out back for seating. There's tons of space on the main floor to just hang out. The property owner was super helpful and very responsive to our questions.

Quaint warm cottage 30 mins from Yosemite entrance

We had a very comfortable stay at Melanie's property. The place was very well furnished, well heated, clean and cozy. Well stocked supermarkets are very nearby so the location was convenient. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone planning to visit Yosemite and willing to stay outside of the park.
