Yosemite area home w/ Private River Access, Awesome Pool - Perfect for Families

Riverfront retreat with swimming pool, granite waterfall, spa, pool table, game room, ping-pong, views, fishing, golf, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large stainless steel kitchen, 3 fireplaces, outdoor grill, fabulous views, pines, oaks, garden, Indian grinding stones, 5 acres to roam, outdoor living & dining, large great room, open dining room kitchen, minutes to Yosemite, minutes to Bass Lake, panning for gold, hawks, red-wing blackbirds, blue-heron, ducks, jays, swallows, etc. Enjoy the outdoors from inside or outside this one level, 3000 sq. ft. beautiful home, with 500+ feet or riverfront. The location is ideal. Along a river bend, with mountain views, graceful trees, spectacular waterfall swimming pool/spa and much, much more. The challenge with this property will be leaving it!

At the entryway, and around the property, are enormous granite rock outcroppings. The home has accents inside and out of granite stones, a redwood paneled master bath, oak mantels, all harvested from the property. The polished concrete floors keep the home cool in the hot summer, and help maintain the warmth in the cold winter months. The ceilings are beamed and finished in pine. Located minutes from Yosemite, Bass Lake, and Oakhurst. Outside living areas include outdoor dining table and comfy chairs, lounges around the pool, and Adirondack chairs at the river. Cook outside on the outdoor grill or cook up a storm in the stainless steel kitchen. Appliances include Viking induction stove, Thermador convection ovens, and more. Sit under the granite rock waterfall in the built-in pool ledge, or jump off a 3' rock into the pool. Of course, you could swim a lap or float in the pool as you soak in the sun. Dip your toes in the river & watch the red-tail hawks glide between trees.

Hang-out in your chair until sunset & watch a deer, rabbit or possibly raccoon come to the river. After you’ve hiked Yosemite park, return home & soak your muscles in the ground level round jetted spa next to the swimming pool. Stroll to the end of the property, walk on the golf course, & shag a couple of lost golf balls on your way. Play a round of golf, or enjoy a sandwich at the rustic clubhouse, which is also adorned in granite & pine decor. Head on back to the river, grab a volleyball & couple of friends & hit the ball around the sandy beach volleyball court. Feel the cool sand between your toes. Maybe perch yourself on a granite rock & reflect on when Miwok Indians used the grinding stones to make meal, or give it a try yourself. Set up the croquet set & play a round with your mates. The river is more like a creek in August & September, so there is a lot more sandy area to explore.

Some say there’s gold in that river. So, try your luck at panning for some gold right out your door. Maybe a nice nugget for your jewelry box, or a couple flakes as a memento of your trip. Of course, we are not making any promises and do be careful of all the fools gold in the river! If the season's right, pick some fruit out of the trees, or berries. Cut a sprig of rosemary, an iris, rose, lavender, or wild-flower or two for the bud vase in the bathroom or kitchen. Before you head home, or on to your next destination, give the laundry room a work out and pack your bags with clean clothes. Of course, if you want to extend that vacation feeling, there is a local cleaner close by. If you have been able to resist the tire swing, take a spin or two before you leave. Maybe your last night could be spent sleeping in the hammock in the trees. Sign the guest book, and we’ll keep a light on for your next visit.

Amazing property for families with active kids
This property is very beautiful, spacious & unique, and we had an amazing stay. We were a group of 12 with 6 teens, and we had a plenty of space inside and especially outside! The property is amazing and the area beautiful. There is access to great mountain bike trails outside of Oakhurst. There were so many activities at the house (pool, ping pong, bocce ball, badminton, the river, tree swings, the fantastic big pool, games, etc) We were outside most of the time, but were very comfortable and occupied when inside too! Communication was great with owner and manager.

Awesome River house
Sooooooo much fun. Beautiful views, gentle river access, and lovely pool. Wi-Fi is understandably slow. Well supplied for cooking. Long ride to Yosemite valley, beautiful grassy yard, and a abundance of swings.

Great family trip
Had a great stay at the property. We were a group of 14 with age range from my 1 year old to mother in law of 70. Management and owners are very responsive. The house is older but everything worked well and appliances looked newer. For what we needed and wanted to pay, we were very happy with it. We did see a volleyball court in the pictures and we were excited about that because most of us play volleyball but looks like the heavy rain washed out most of it so we were not able to use it. It was not in the description of the property, just saw it in the picture and got excited about it. Enjoying the backyard was the best part.

Family fun
My family and I had a wonderful time at the property. We took walks around the river. The kids swam in the pool every day and we enjoyed the hot tub at night. We played several friendly game's of pool and my son and husband did a little gold panning. The house was in good shape and had everything we needed. We cooked dinner every night and used the BBQ. We had a wonderful time and the view from the home is beautiful. We enjoyed the sounds of the river and all the friendly birds when we had breakfast outside in the mornings. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond. Check in and out was easy. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Very nice property but dirty.
The dishwasher was broken and someone had put away the dishes in the cupboards with food caked on them. We paid $350 for cleaning so I assumed the house would be clean. It looked like the floors had been cleaned in the middle. There were dust piles behind and under the furniture.

Memory Maker
We loved this house so much and are so sad to leave. It’s a magical place with the beauty of the mountains and creeek behind the house. The pool and hot tub are amazing. We loved all the games that we could play as well as the Belgium waffle maker. We can’t thank you again for your hospitality and hope to go back. It felt like an old school summer trip

Perfect family getaway!
This home and its surroundings is just amazing. Our family spent equal times at the river and the pool as well as relaxing and exploring the area (Bass Lake, Sugar Pine Railroad, and Yosemite). Can't wait to come again.

Family Friendly
Beautiful home and property! Very family friendly home, with excellent floor plan to accommodate a large group. Well stocked kitchen, lots of games and books available for guest use. Two things that should be added are a vacuum cleaner for guests to vacuum area rugs, and a rake to rake leaves off bocce ball court. Our family had a wonderful time!! We will definitely be back.

Perfect and Secluded Riverfront Cabin
An absolute beautiful riverfront cabin. The whole family and I absolutely enjoyed the quietness and especially the nature of this location. It was awesome to have the golf course nearby and local restaurants such as the Southgate brewery to enjoy good food. This house had five spacious bedrooms for all of our guest. It had Wi-Fi and cable TV for streaming a good movie at night. Lastly, the pool and Jacuzzi made this location even more magical, deafly will be returning back!
