Yosemite Bass Lake Finegold Retreat

Hello, we love to Host for Homeaway.
We are nestled just a few miles from Bass Lake and about 25 miles from the South Gate Hwy 41 Entrance. The Valley is 35 miles from the Southgate (approx. 1.5 hours in good conditions). I suggest getting an early start because travel times greatly increase during holidays and summer months. PLEASE CHECK YOSEMITE ABOVE FOR RESERVATIONS FOR SUMMER MONTHS.
Here, you will find a quaint private studio apartment that accommodates up to four people (two per bed). Currently there is one queen bed and one sofa bed (queen). Please note the price reflects for the first two people. There are additional charges for each person after. The apartment has a full mini kitchen furnished with dinnerware, coffee maker, microwave and necessities to enjoy an indoor meal.
Outdoors you will find the property peaceful and inviting with gorgeous views of Goat Mountain. The back yard is spacious and opens up to a path that leads to our seasonal Fine Gold Creek. (Please note: we are currently under some landscaping construction)
If, after visiting Yosemite or Bass Lake you still need something to do, you can check out North Fork and Bass Lake’s local attractions. Just down the road from Fine Gold Retreat is beautiful Manzanita Lake. It is a perfect little lake with the most peaceful setting for fishing, swimming or just hanging out to feed the ducks. It even has built-in grills so you can BBQ a few hamburgers. Manzanita Lake is one of my favorite places. Trust me; you will not regret taking the time to visit this special place.
North Fork is also home to the Mono Indian Museum and an art gallery that hosts local mountain artists. North Fork has the best pizza and Mexican food restaurant you could ask for.
Fourth of July weekend is a busy time for North Fork and Bass Lake. The weekend of July 4th, North Fork hosts our annual Loggers Jamboree where professionals and amateurs alike can show off their logging and timber skills. The jamboree is preceded by our local (OK, maybe a little corny) 4th of July parade.
Finally, we mustn’t forget about one of the best Independence Day fireworks displays at Bass Lake. People from all over the world come to celebrate the freedom of our wonderful country.

Quiet cozy getaway
This little cabin is so cute and cozy. We had such a great time here. Bret & Janel are such hospitable friendly people. We had everything we needed and more. The property is beautiful and theres plenty to do with just a little drive. While on our trip we enjoyed different areas of Bass Lake, Yosemite and Manzanita Lake in North Fork. We also enjoyed the property's creek and backyard area where we played darts, catch and went on a little walk. It was so peaceful and beautiful and we would be happy to come back!

I loved the Finegold retreat! It is a beautiful property and everything was immaculate. My room was spacious and very comfy, Janel (the host) is lovely and was so friendly and helpful suggesting hikes etc. She also leaves homemade cookies (yummm!) and gave me home made ice cream. I'd love to go back and stay longer.

My son and I stayed for a couple nights to get caught up, he lives in LA and I had a business meeting in Fresno. It was a great quiet place and the hospitality was 5 star. Including the fresh baked cookies. I would recommend this place. We hiked to Stevenson Falls and then spent the afternoon on a jet ski and swimming at Shaver Lake.

Welcome Respite
We had driven down from Sacramento to take a day tour at Yosemite. It was lovely to arrive to such a welcoming space and rest up for our tour. The cookies left were amazing. After our tour it was wonderful to retire and relax after a very busy day to prepare for our return to Sacramento. A nice getaway weekend.

Cute, rural property, far from the crowds. Lovely hosts. Very relaxing. About 30 minutes to Yosemite park gates, 90 minutes to the valley. It worked well for us visiting the valley. Microwave, aircon, etc.

Best stay for couples and quick trip
We had a wedding to attend in Bass Lake and decided to spend the day in Yosemite. The home was so nice, cozy, and comfortable with a good view from the window. It felt like we were between Bass Lake and Yosemite. We had everything we needed for a quick getaway. It felt so private and the area is nice and quiet. At night you get a beautiful view of the stars. Our hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had before our trip. We would definitely love to come back and stay here.

WOW! Awesome place!
First off what everyone says about the cookies is true. Amazing!! We were lucky enough to stay at the time that plums were ready to pick and Janel told us to help ourselves. We picked a few and had them as snacks while hiking at Yosemite and they wrre yummy. Great hospitality. The room was spotless when we arrived and was perfect for our stay. We hope to stay again soon.

We had a wonderful stay! On arrival, we were greeted with yummy cookies, which was a nice surprise after a long drive. The property was spotless - very clean and fresh. We had everything we needed, including plenty of help and advice on-hand from Janel! After long days trekking through Yosemite, we felt comfortable and relaxed in the property, and had a good night’s sleep. We would definitely come back when visiting the area - excellent hosts, comfortable and spacious property, with fantastic proximity to Bass Lake and Yosemite!

Stepping into the studio for first time we were so happy to see a very clean, spacious unit. It had everything we needed and more. Bed was comfortable which was a huge plus since we were hiking everyday in Yosemite and needed good nights sleep. The air conditioner worked exceptionally well and cooked fast! The shower was perfect also! I really can’t think of anything we didn’t like! The owners thought of everything. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely guest house
The guest house was roomy and in spite of very hot weather (low 90s), it stayed cool from insulation, a great a/c unit, and at night, with fresh air from the windows. The owner thoughtfully supplied different kinds of coffee for the Keurig coffee maker, and we enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie that awaited our arrival. Owners were the perfect blend of helping host without being intrusive.

We had a lovely stay! Clean, comfortable, more spacious then I expected. Very close to Bass Lake but quieter. We saw deer in the driveway and the dark skies can’t be beat. Dogs were sweet. It was hit outside but the AC worked great. The Welcome cookie was one of the best I have ever had. I need the recipe.
