Perfect little cabin

Cabin has all you need to enjoy the great outdoors. We came from out of state to hike Yosemite. Was a great location with grocery stores and gas stations close by along with being right down 41….not a bad drive up to Yosemite each day! Highly recommend for travelers who do not need all the extras! Host was very friendly and helpful! Definitely will be staying here again when we come back to hike!

Little Bear Cottage

I was in the area for a couple of days for a gathering in nearby Fish Camp. The Bear cottage was a comfortable , clean, and quiet unit located just off the highway in Oakhurst. It’s located close to restaurants, shopping, and Bass Lake. It’s about 30 min from the South entrance to Yosemite. Sharon, the property host, gave clear instructions for check in/out. She and her husband live on site. I never got to meet them but it was nice knowing that assistance, if needed, was close by. A great stay…would definitely stay again!

Yosemite Trip

Perfect cottage for a visit to Yosemite. Clean comfortable space. The detailed note by the hose could not have been more helpful. We went to two restaurants she recommended and both were fantastic! If we visit Yosemite again we will book again!

A great little getaway close to home

Well, we had just gotten married, and we were looking for a quiet place to celebrate a weekend honeymoon, abd judt be wuth eachother.This lovely little cottage offered just that. It was comfortable, and stocked with everything we might need. We were able make nice meals, and relax inside and out. I had envisioned it being a little more secluded, but that was not an issue. Sharon was a gracious host, there to help with anything. She even came out late in the evening to change out a propane tank, and relight the pilot in the gas fireplace, which in itself was very inviting. We enjoyed ourselves while in the area, and will definitely consider coming back to stay in the little bear cottage .

We had a wonderful 3 nights stay at little Bear cottage. Lovely, peaceful location. Easy access to Bass Lake and not to far from yosemite. Lots of places to eat nearby we also made use of the bbq and enjoyed the peace and beauty of the property. Check in and out was super easy. The place was spotlessly clean and Tidy. Super cute hide away and the perfect size for 2. So much more charm than the near-by soulless chain hotels. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend to a friend.

Fantastic weekend getaway

What a great little cottage! Perfect for a weekend of hiking in Yosemite Valley (~30 min from park entrance). Sharon is a great host, property was extremely clean and nicely decorated. And she even left some snacks! The grill and table outside were a nice touch, and really expanded the usability of the kitchenette. Oakhurst itself has plenty of great restaurants and a couple of big grocery stores, so lots to do in the evening as well. Would definitely recommend this cute cottage to friends in the future!

Nice house, but the property owner is not

This house is fine- small but plenty of room for 2 people. But MAKE SURE you read the fine print on your rental agreement. I made a stupid mistake and thought we had it a day longer so when Sharon texted me we rushed back, but apparently pissed her off so she refused to refund my security deposit over ridiculous issues like a clogged toilet that flushed fine for us and “oil spots” in the driveway(which is gravel and I was in a rental). I expected to pay for our late departure per the agreement, but feel like Sharon unfairly assessed the property through the eyes of annoyance. I would not recommend this property just based on her, but if you make sure to memorize the entire rental agreement and don’t make Sharon mad you should be fine.

About the host

Host profile image
I'm a REALTOR with Bass Lake Realty. I have been licensed since 1998. I love real estate!

Why they chose this property

This location is FABULOUS and convenient to Yosemite National Park, Bass Lake, lots of restaurants and less than 2 minutes from Oakhurst's town amenities yet we are nestled on 3 lovely acres.
Back in 2004 my partner Mike discovered this “gem” of a property and purchased it before it entered the real estate market and from there, we’ve had quite a journey. First it was an awesome place for Mike to tinker and put his passion for carpentry and pride of ownership to work while we rented to full time tenants. Then in 2010 we found ourselves living here unexpectedly from a remote mountain property. This place offered a lovely country setting yet being very close to Oakhurst’s township, Bass Lake and of course Yosemite. We were only using the Gingerbread Tiny House occasionally for friends and family when my dear friend Kirsty Lebovitz who owns SierraScape Vacation Rentals suggested that I turn the cottage into a vacation rental for two. So I did! That is how Yosemite’s Suite Retreat’s Gingerbread Tiny House came to be! Thank you, Kirsty!

What makes this property unique

We are an alternative to a hotel/motel, renting a full size home and of course camping! We are NOT a remote mountain property. On our shared 3 acres we have several separate living quarters all unique and loaded with character. They are all separate from each other with each having their own yards and driveways.
