Romantic Mountain Cottage: Yosemite/Bass Lake Area

Take to the Sierra Foothills for a stay at this 1-bathroom cottage studio in North Fork! A vacation rental perfect for a couple, this stylish home-away-from-home is sure to impress with a furnished deck, pool, and stunning mountain views - visible from almost every window. Follow the vista into the wilderness to discover the magic of Yosemite, Bass Lake, and Sequoia National Park - altogether creating a romantic California escape! -- THE PROPERTY -- Studio: Queen Bed Newly built in 2018, this romantic cottage, with warm wood-paneled ceilings and cool grey tile, is perfectly perched on a hillside; providing endless views of the Sierra National Forest and foothills. Upon arrival, drop your bags, pour a glass of wine, and settle into vacation mode on the expansive deck! Even if you choose to relax inside the home's tasteful interior, you'll be treated to picturesque scenery spotted through the window-lined walls. With such a breathtaking landscape located just outside, you might easily become distracted while watching shows on the flat-screen Smart TV or reading a book. In the heat of the afternoon, cool off in the soaking pool, just down from the cottage, or enjoy a reprieve in the umbrella's shade with a cocktail in hand. As the sun begins to fade into the west, fire up the gas grill for an at-home barbecue. Easily prepare complementing dishes in the fully equipped kitchen, boasting modern appliances and ample counter space. Dine indoors or feast al fresco on the deck! Linger outdoors; watching the stars appear one-by-one, eventually lighting up the night sky. When you grow tired, head back inside for a refreshing shower in the full bathroom. The cozy queen bed will be waiting in its nook to lull you into a peaceful night's sleep. Close the window's blinds for a lazy morning in bed or wake up to a stellar sunrise over the mountains! -- THE LOCATION -- You might have a difficult time deciding what attraction, destination, or activity to do first, with so many options located within a short distance of this idyllic property! Just 15 minutes away is Bass Lake, a stunning alpine lake that offers water skiing, wakeboarding, and fishing! Kayaks, paddleboats, and fishing gear are all available for rent on the lake's edge, so if you forgot your gear, don't worry! In addition to water activities, you'll also find hiking and mountain biking in the area. Challenge yourself with a romp up the Goat Mountain Fire Lookout Trail - a workout that's rewarded with a spectacular view! Come the end of the day, refuel with a meal at Ducey's On the Lake or The Forks Resort. Easily enjoy a sunrise from none other than Yosemite, located only 35 minutes from the property! Have your camera ready as the sun begins to crest over the impressive granite formations that are visible from either Tunnel View or Glacier Point. Once the day has begun, lace up your hiking boots to explore the many trails in the park, or just sit back for a relaxing, yet scenic, drive through the valley. Make sure to bring along your binoculars for spotting climbers as they climb one of the routes on the 3,000-foot face of El Capitan! Additional attractions within a 2-hour drive of the cottage include Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon, the 'Scenic Byway,' and Whisky Snowmobile Area. Activities such as horseback riding, golfing and rock climbing can also be found close by.
