Casa Oso Oakhurst is an excellent gathering place for family and friends in the Sierra Nevada only 20 minutes from the south gates of Yosemite National Park. This private modern house provides breathtaking views from an enormous outdoor living area, which includes a private spa. This jewel sits on 5 acres near the thriving mountain city of Oakhurst, with easy access to the park, but also to charming Bass Lake with water attractions and a beach. House has fast internet and a free EV charger.
The space
This freshly renovated, one-story house creates a beautiful atmosphere with spacious and luxurious common areas, an electric fireplace and the spa.
The attractiveness of the open living room comes from its high ceilings, diverse seating arrangements, mountain views and the warmth of the fireplace. Guests can enjoy movie nights in the living room on the large flat screen TV or even play board game tournaments to their delight.
The three bedrooms are furnished with attention to detail, with furniture and accessories designed to provide maximum comfort for every guest. All three bedrooms are equipped with a king-size bed and a bench or chair. The master bedroom has direct private access to the patio and spa area, and includes its own bathroom with a shower. It also includes an additional sleeping ottoman which can be prepared as a single bed upon request. On additional request, the master can be equipped with up to 2 baby cribs. Guests occupying the two smaller bedrooms share a common bathroom with tub.

Excellent property and host! Loved our time here and will definitely come back! Maja was easy to talk to and very accommodating for our family and our dog. The house is spacious while being cozy, tucked away from the main roads with great views.

Maja’s place was just like the pictures. It was peaceful, spacious and surrounded by beautiful nature up in the mountains. We also appreciated her helping us navigate through the snow and answering all of our questions. Plus she keeps lots of spices in stock!
