We had a great stay. It had everything we need and more. Tamara was very communicative and friendly. For the town was in the woods but we felt safe and it was so clean. Very recommend for families.
The house is in a good location and was clean but very outdated. The beds were very uncomfortable and the shower heads were terrible. We only stayed one night and didnât use the kitchen so I donât know how that was. We barely were in the house because we came for a wedding so just showered and slept but not well because the beds were so uncomfortable.
It was clean and location was ok.
This is a great location for family. Not too far from the fish camp snow park with a big backyard. It is decorated really cute and homey. We woke up to snow this morning! This is our second time staying here. The owners are really nice and accommodating. We recommend.
This is a truly home away from home.
Nice secure big yard and close proximity to the restaurants, grocery stores and everything you need.
We stayed there first weekend when Tioga pass was open and left early enough to be at the park by 6 am.
Cooler was able to keep up with a 100+ degrees weather. The day of checkout, unfortunately, we lost power, but while it was triple digits and we were there - it was great!
Host was very easy to reach and answered all my questions - this was very helpful and we felt like we knew everything before we even arrived!
We will be back. :)
Perfect for our party of 4 but 6 would have been fine with the two twin beds in the 3rd bedroom. Our only complaints were the slow drain in bath 1 and the squeaky but comfy beds. Please fix those because we cannot wait to stay there again. Very nice!
Not fancy, but everything you need. 3 bedrooms and one bedroom has 2 twin beds in it. So 4 beds! Wow! Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook a meal for 4. Washer and dryer was helpful too. Property close to grocery stores, gas, and fast food options. Only 30-45 minutes to Yosemite gate on hwy 41. Wonderful option!!
Great location. Would've been 1 1/2 to park if the lines hadn't been so long! House was just what we expected. TV is all streamed so no local news, etc... Saw a couple of deer and a wild turkey.
Overall good but missing a few items like a Tea kettle and a normal coffee pot. There was only a Keurig with horrible maxwell house pods so if you actually care about coffee and you brought your own good coffee there was no way to make it without getting super creative. Fortunately we had brought a strainer so we sort of made our own French press and were able to strain through different pots but it was pretty silly. Kitchen supplies a little skimpy generally but overall the rest of the house was lovely we were very comfortable the outdoor furniture was great it was nice and cool
The house was great, there was plenty of room for my family of 4 and a quick drive up to Yosemite. Great location, cozy house, beautiful big backyard. It was a great place for our weekend getaway.
Had a great stay here at silly ol bear, honestly I didn't really need to take anything besides food since everything was there. I celebrated my daughters 2nd birthday here and it was nice and we went to the snow. Tamara had let us barrow her snow sleds after we checked out which was very nice of her. The back yard is huge my two children loved it so much! There were toys for the kids to play with, my daughter loved that and also loved the little stuffed animals that were on the bed in the kids room. Over all our stay here at silly ol bear was great! And we will be booking again!
Thank you Tamara!

We had a great experience at the Silly Ol' Bear cabin! The house was very clean and comfortable. The kids loved the Winnie the Pooh themed decorations and variety of kid games in the closet. The backyard was spacious for them to run around. The cabin is a convenient distance between Bass Lake and the Yosemite entrance.
Perfect place to stay and enjoy Yosemite and still be able to enjoy other things around the area. House was the perfect size for my family to connect and be together yet still have our own rooms to go to at night. Hosts were fabulous and very helpful as well. Will definitely come again when in the area! Thank you for offering your home to others. Truly enjoyed our time there and will have forever memories.
The property is everything stated, very clean and comfortable and has everything needed for your stay. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the back porch. The owner is quick to respond . I would definitely stay at this property if I have the opportunity to visit Yosemite again.
Location if headed to Yosemite and need a place to stay
Initially the idea was a spot close to Yosemite and itâs an hour n a blad away from location. Still a great spot to stay if wanting to stay for a few days. Close to all the stores and lakes close by also.
Great host, host made things accommodating to me with a few questions and clarification regarding the location.
Kids enjoyed the games, I enjoyed the quiet & hubby loved the grill.
Everything felt like home away from home. Thanks so much!
Incredible location and space. We enjoyed a week of hanging around this beautiful property with its large yard. Very close to family friendly hikes inside the park and out. Very clean. Great communication with hosts.
Very well kept and maintained. We loved the little finishing touches that made us feel welcome. Sleeping accommodations where comfortable. And the home amenities where a wonderful convenience. Would definitely book this again.
Grew up in a small town and moved to an even smaller town, Coarsegold, 17 years ago. Being able to work in the same small town gives me plenty of time to do what I enjoy, gardening & hiking.
Our family spent almost every summer vacationing at Bass Lake. Camping, learning to ski and swimming at the lake were such a big part of my childhood , I decided to purchase a home in the area where I could enjoy those things once again. Since I am unable to spend all my time at my vacation home, I would like to share it with others. Great memories are the best part of looking back on our lives.
