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
