Heartwood Cabin Shaver Lake
Exceptional host, very responsive, clear check in and out details. Would 100% stay again!

Bass Lake cabin with boat slip and stunning view
My family had a wonderful weekend at the Airbnb! We felt right at home and comfortable. The views were stunning and the upper deck was our favorite place to hang out and enjoy morning coffee before heading into Yosemite! 10/10 would recommend and would love to come back for another stay :)

Blue Mountainview Welcomes Long Stays
Omg! What a beautiful home! I almost wanted to write a bad review to scare away people from reserving it LOL. Would HATE TO SEE others ruined this place for us! We will DEFINITELY stay here again in the future. The place is so nice. The host was wonderful with their welcoming sign and goodies. They had everything we needed. The only minor thing would be the mattress. It was not as comfortable. Maybe invested in some comforters. Other than that we loved everything about it! Cannot wait to be back!!! Next time we’ll make sure to book it for more days!

LOG Cabin Guesthouse in the TREES near Yosemite!

Bass Lake/Yosemite~Creek Side Condo~
5 Stars! When you can open your door to the woods you know it’s gonna be a good time! And that’s what he had! Close to Yosemite and 5 mins from the town make it all worth it! (internet could be better. Of course we didn’t come for that but just a small upgrade would help.) Thank you!!

Hideaway Cottage in Downtown Mariposa with Hot Tub
It was a great place to stay for our vacation trip to Yosemite. The house is nice and cozy, clean when we got there. Great area too, right next to a Starbucks and other local restaurants. The only problem we had was with the hot tub not warming up to the right temperature but got an immediate response back from the owners and fixed the problem quick. Would recommend to other guest

Cozy Private Home Near Bass Lake w/ Outdoor Space
We had a wonderful stay here! It's a beautiful house in a lovely area. We used it as a home base for visiting the southern part of Yosemite (e.g., Wawona) -- ideal location for that.

Bear House: View | Hot Tub | Games | EV | YNP&Lake
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful countryside home in Oakhurst, California. The property offers breathtaking views of the valley, providing a peaceful and rejuvenating atmosphere. Our group came for a therapeutic retreat, and this space was absolutely perfect for our purpose. The interior was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable rooms and stunning views from every angle. The host clearly puts a lot of care into maintaining the home, and we felt welcomed and at ease throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene getaway!

Playhouse near Yosemite, Views, Game Room, Hot Tub
Wonderful place to stay with unlimited things to do and natural beauty around you.

Guest House ( Get a way on Private Lake )
She said YES! I had my proposal here and it was perfect. Sandy was super responsive and helpful with everything and her property was beautiful. My fiancé wanted it to be beautiful but private and that's exactly what it was. The house was great too, very clean, very cozy. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Yosemite View Point
We were fortunate to find Cabernet's house at the last min while looking for a place to ring in 2025. Nestled at the top of the perimeter of the Yosemite valley in Oakhurst, the house is a rare find. The weather was beautiful, we got to breath refreshing fresh air and got to enjoy all the amenities at the place. Things we enjoyed. <> Wood burning indoor fireplace. The house was nice and toasty. Perfect for end of Dec/Jan temperatures. <> Large fenced yard for our fur babies. I must say this was the highlight of the trip as it's not easy to find properties that have a completely fenced backyard. Our two husky girls sure enjoyed running around a clean grassy hard. Thank you or WOOF WOOF ! <> Beautiful furniture, clean carpets, well stocked kitchens with a lots of pots and pans to cook. <> Cabernet is super responsive. Very happy about this since a host that communicates well makes the entire experience special ! Thanks Cabernet. Looking forward to visiting again !

Oak Hill Retreat | Gated Pool | BBQ | Pet Friendly
Awesome house out side of Oakhurst! Plenty of room for our whole group! Plenty of beds! Nice bathrooms! Great little apartment style 1 bedroom on one end. Lots of parking! We had 4 different vehicles and a horse trailer. Wi-Fi not great at all but kept the kids off their phones. A crockpot would be nice for cold days. Very well maintained inside and out. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for an inexpensive place to stay. Great value for what you pay. Stop thinking about it, just book it!!

The Rock House
The rock house is unique, private, and beautiful home. Nestled in, the cabin is bigger than it looks. Upstairs loft is perfect space for the kids. And the large decking opens the living area to outdoors. My family and I rent this cabin every year, it’s our home away from home. Diann, until next year! Thank you 🙏🏼

Walk to the Lake: East Village Cabin
Ellie and her home were incredible! Such a great location with hiking and town close by. She was super helpful and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Deck, close to snow, gourmet kitchen, nespresso
Easy check in, the house has everything you need, easy to use. Bathroom is great and the water pressure pretty good.

Unique Rock House on Redinger Lake
The rock theme of the house was really cool. The landscaping of the house and the views were amazing. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a great view of the lake from the shower, very aesthetic. Clear and easy instructions for check in and check out. I love the huge DVD collection, lots of classics. And of course, the lake was so pretty and we had a blast kayaking. Overall beautiful location and we had a great stay!

"Casita Bass Lake" two bedroom condo with pool/spa
Our family loved staying at Casita Bass Lake! The kids loved the board games and the house itself was super cute and had everything we needed. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area. Terry was very responsive and overall great! Loved it!

Waterfront Cabin| Bass Lake | Boat Dock | Foosball
We had an amazing time at this beautiful lake house! It was the perfect getaway for our family, especially my moms first time staying in front of the lake. The house was well-equipped, making it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time together. We enjoyed playing the foolsballs, fishing on the dock and exploring the walking trails. Our host kyle & his team was incredibly welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed. I Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to create wonderful family memories like us.

Yosemite, Bass Lake, Cabin on 3 acre Pond, Hot Tub
I don’t even know where to begin. Words can’t accurately convey how wonderful our stay at Tom & Louise’s place was. They are the most kind, generous, proactive and welcoming hosts that I’ve ever encountered. Their property was impeccably presented, whilst maintaining a homely feel. The surrounding grounds were incredibly beautiful and peaceful. One of my highlights was waking early and sitting by myself on the swing on the front porch watching the geese and their babies, and just basking in the serenity. My partner and I cannot thank Tom & Louise enough, and we hope to be able to make it back from Australia again one day.

The Little Dipper: A Modern Cabin Retreat + WIFI.

Your guide to Shaver Lake
Introduction
Tucked in the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountains, the tiny former logging town of Shaver Lake is a hidden gem with an expansive lake ringed by thick pine forests and cabins. While the refreshing waters are what draw many up the mountainside, there’s plenty of fun to be had on dry land in the Sierra Nevadas, where hundreds of miles of trails provide ideal opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Located a 90-minute drive south from storied Yosemite National Park, Shaver Lake can also serve as your serene base for an ambitious day trip or a chill spot to recover in after visiting one of the nation’s most trafficked parks.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Shaver Lake
June through September are your best bet for warm weather if you’re planning on a lake vacation, with temperatures in the mid-70s and low 80s Fahrenheit. July and August are usually the hottest months, but not too hot — temperatures spike into the 80s — and thanks to the mountain elevation, spring is cool and winter chilly. The mountain climate means evenings can be brisk year round, so pack layers.
Top things to do in Shaver Lake
Shaver Lake
The Southern Edison Company dammed up several streams in 1927 to create Shaver Lake in order to generate electricity for Los Angeles, but it is thousands of miles from the bustling industry it powers — both literally and figuratively. The lake offers 22 miles of tranquil, boulder-studded shoreline and over 2,000 acres of placid lake surface. The Shaver Lake Marina caters to all of your aquatic whims, renting out 12-passenger pontoon boats, jet skis, paddleboards, and more. It also runs a small general store where you can stock up on sunscreen and snacks. If you like to fish, try your luck at hooking a rainbow trout or smallmouth bass, just two of the species you’ll find flitting around the lake.
McKinley Grove
You’ll be glad you took a break from swimming once you’re inside this small, secluded grove of giant sequoias, located about half an hour’s drive from the lake. Giant sequoias — which can grow to over 300 feet tall and live thousands of years — are the biggest trees on Earth and only grow naturally in the Sierra Nevadas. While these staggering giants are the main draw, in fall the dogwood trees also put on show, turning a brilliant red. Plunk down at a picnic table and lunch in the shade of these leviathans, or just hike the trails, staring up in wonder.
Central Sierra Historical Society Museum
On the grounds of this partially open-air museum you can find all kinds of contraptions that once powered the logging communities of the Sierra Nevadas, including something called a steam donkey, built in 1902, which was a kind of portable engine used to move logs. You’ll also find a 1912 railroad caboose, a Mack Truck built in 1920, and a replica flume tender’s cabin — a modest home built along the river for men whose job it was to keep lumber moving smoothly downstream to the sawmill.
