The space
Stay in an Artist’s personal Gallery! Newly remodeled & decorated - fresh & bright.

This private apartment is below the Host’s main house (one an Artist, the other a Photographer)…… all on a hillside with views of the trees above Oakhurst. There are 2 private bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed and each has a cozy electric heater wall 'fireplaces' for individual climate control. During the summer/fall seasons the main house air-conditioner is controlled by the owner’s thermostat upstairs so this level tends to stay very cool all summer long but it can be adjusted on request via text or phone calls. The fireplace heaters can be used to temper cold air in any season.

There is a Tesla Type 2 Car Charger available with no additional fees that should fully charge your Tesla vehicle overnight. Please let us know if you plan to use it so we have the cord outside where you can reach it.

We have a short walking trail on our property that you may use to explore the upper section of our 2.5 acres (use at your own risk there are wild animals and itchy plants), and stay with young children at all times.

The living/dining area has a full size sofa, 40" Smart TV, very small dining table and kitchenette (sink, small refrigerator, single IH burner, toaster oven, coffee maker and microwave). There is a BBQ on the patio with propane provided (do not use briquettes or wood). Enjoy outdoor dining on the picnic table.

The full bathroom has a tub/shower combination between the two bedrooms. There is a separate external entrance and parking near the shaded patio. The inner stairwell to the rest of the house upstairs is in your kitchen area and will be locked.

Our mountain casual apartment is the perfect place to retreat, relax and enjoy nature, work on writing or painting and use as a home base to explore the surrounding area. It's common to see deer walking around the 2 1/2 acres filled with a variety of trees. Our place is an 8 minute drive to the shops and restaurants of Oakhurst and about 15 minute drive from Bass Lake. Yosemite's South Gate entrance is about a 30 minute drive and approximately 1 1/2 hours to the valley floor of this renowned National Park.

We are a husband and wife team; Lenny is a Realtor & photographer with a commercial drone pilot license and Teresa is an Artist and opinionated interior design helper.
Guest access
The full first floor of the 3 story house (excluding the garage) will be your private space with a large shaded outdoor patio off the front door. The property is on a hillside that has steep sections and wild animals, so we request that you keep a close watch of your children. You are welcome to walk the short path at your own risk (but do not allow children to play there unattended).
Other things to note
5 Star rating is our goal with every guest. Please notify us DURING your visit if there is a problem or concern that we can solve so that you can enthusiastically rate your experience with the highest marks.

We have solar and back up batteries so if you stay with us we will have power when other locations are shut down due to safety blackouts during high winds and high fire risk.

We take hosting seriously, and are a proud #HostfullyHost. This means when you stay with us, you will get a personalized Hostfully guidebook. In it, you will find important information about our home, as well as our favorite local recommendations. It’s easy to navigate, and you can access it from your phone or desktop.

No Smoking inside or outside on our property (of any smoking products except odorless vaping outside only please). The risk of forest fire is very high in our area so please exercise extreme caution with the BBQ grill and respect the 'no smoking', 'no fireworks' and 'no outdoor campfire' policies.

Children:
We made every attempt to make the house safe for children but it is your responsibility to watch them. Some sections of the property are steep and there are wild animals that should not be approached. It is also important that you do not try to feed them. There might be poisonous plants in the brush as well.

Toys are provided in large bedroom closet but parents please check for age appropriateness for their safety. There are wipes under sinks if you want extra caution, we cannot clean every toy between guests.

It is very important that you never leave minors unattended in the house!

Water quality: We have a high end, whole house water purification system which we regularly have serviced. You can be confident that our water is safe for drinking, bathing and cooking. Also, we have a tankless water heater so your entire group will have ample hot water for baths and showers.

Surveillance cameras: to ensure safety for our family and our guests, we have installed surveillance cameras on the property. They detect motion and record video if they "see" anything. Of course there is no surveillance in any of the interior spaces and no audio is recorded. If you have any privacy concerns, we'll be happy to turn off the camera next to the Airbnb during your stay.

During Winter (and early Spring) months, check weather and road conditions before booking and again 2-3 days before departure. Yosemite requires you to carry tire chains in case of snow during winter/spring visits, even if you have all wheel drive vehicles. Our driveway is steep and may be difficult to manage in snowy or icy conditions. All wheel drive cars are recommended. But in severe weather you may need to cancel and find another accommodation.
