About this property
Serene Lakefront Bass Lake Home, Private Dock, close to Pines Village & Yosemite
The Desmond French Lakefront Retreat has been our private family cabin for over 40-years and we have begun renting it with other families in late summer of 2025. Crafted with care and full of character, the cabin features some original retro 60’s furniture along with modern amenities —each detail adding to its mountain lodge charm.
With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and just under 2,000 square feet of living space, there’s plenty of room to gather, relax, and enjoy your time in the Sierra Nevadas.

WHAT’S NEARBY This cabin offers the ideal basecamp for outdoor exploration and lakeside fun. Beautiful Bass Lake is a wonderful spot for boating, skiing, fishing, hiking, and bicycling. Just a short walk to the Pines Village, with its restaurants, general market, bars, shops, and a full-service marina and boat launch with rental boats, jet skis, and kayaks. The town of Oakhurst is close by, offering grocery stores, shops, restaurants, bars, a cinema, and a live stage theater of its own. The Chukchansi Casino in Coarsegold is about a 30-mins drive and the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park is only 19 miles away.
THINGS TO KNOW Bass Lake reaches its peak water levels in the summer months and is lowered by 50 percent during the fall and winter months annually. Because of this, summer water levels vary each year depending on the winter season rain and snowfall. Note that our private dock and deck are not accessible by water in the late Fall to early Spring months

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was exactly as described—family-friendly and perfectly located right on the lake. The fishing off the back was excellent, and we loved having access to the paddle boards and kayaks. The owner provided clear and concise check-in and checkout instructions and was very communicative throughout our stay, which made the entire experience seamless. We would definitely stay here again!
So beautiful and peaceful with spectacular views! We had a wonderful stay and will probably come again soon. Communication was always prompt and we had everything we needed and more for our stay including shampoo, conditioner and soaps. We loved the beautiful lake and having direct access. We didn't use the paddle boards and kayak because we didn't have much time and our last day got chilly but we definitely want to return!
