About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sunset Site *Boulder Bliss* HotTub by Casa Oso

This lovingly owner-managed property will perfectly suit a variety of guests: the family looking for a sprawling space to play and make memories, a group of friends connecting with nature needing that restful space to recharge between adventures, or a couple seeking a romantic escape. Furry family members are also welcome!

With a curated designer interior, room to spread out, extra-comfortable accommodation, a bubbling hot tub, an exquisite mountain backdrop, and all the amenities one could wish for, this property will be an ideal place to gather together.

Living Spaces:
With an open and airy floor plan, everything in this home is conveniently situated for single-floor living. The living space is open and inviting, with a set of accent chairs in front of the cosy wood-burning stove. It’s the perfect spot to sit and chat with a loved one, read a best seller, sip a cup of tea, or stoke a fire on a chilly eve.
You`ll want to pause in the carefully tailored spaces throughout this home. The living room area will welcome you to sink into the comfy couch with a glass of wine. The room is flooded with natural light through the windows and sliding patio doors with panoramic mountain views.
Snuggle up for a film on the wall-mounted flatscreen, or choose a game from the many options.
Little ones have also been considered throughout the space; with a mini game table, toys, books, a pack-n-play, and lots of family-friendly games, there is something for all family members to enjoy.
In the garage, there is more room to spread out and enjoy a friendly game of foosball or ping pong.

Kitchen & Dining:
Rounding out the open-concept floor plan is the beautifully updated kitchen with a centrepiece dining island large enough to seat seven or more on stools.
This darling country kitchen has every appliance and cookware amenity to inspire a home-cooked meal: an oversized farmhouse sink, dishwasher, gas range, microwave, a French door fridge with drawer freezer, a coffee maker, water boiler, toaster, Kitchenaid mixer, Instant Pot, and a blender.
Finding cookware and dinnerware is a breeze with conveniently labelled shelves. Basics like olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, a set of 18 different spices, coffee, and tea are provided. The long counter offers plenty of space to spread out and feed a group.
Take your meal al fresco and make dinner on the large propane grill on the patio. The comfy outdoor table has room for six.

Bedrooms & Baths:
The bedrooms and bathrooms in this home are thoughtfully accented with comfortable and cosy touches. The fresh decor produces tranquil surroundings with a relaxed feel. Guests will be sure to have restful nights on high-quality memory foam mattresses and quality cotton linens. The home can accommodate up to nine guests in the three bedrooms.
The primary bedroom offers a king bed with an ensuite bathroom with a shower. Guests can utilise the designated workspace for some remote work while away. The walk-in closet provides plenty of space to put clothes away and settle in. There is an oversized armchair that can extend to a twin bed and room for up to two pack-n-plays with mattresses. The bedroom opens to the patio path leading to the hot tub.
Bedroom two has a queen-size bed and daybed that opens to a queen for additional sleeping space. Bedroom three has a king bed and walk-in closet. Bedrooms two and three share a second full bathroom with a shower-bath.
Guests will also have use of the washing machine/dryer and iron/ironing board.

Outdoor Amenities:
The setting of this home is magical: nestled into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains on five secluded acres with rolling rocky terrain accented by wildflower meadows and scattered trees. A 200-year-old live oak keeps watch over the homestead connecting past and present. Children will love the wooden playset, while everyone will love the patio providing an outdoor living area and hot tub for soothing soaks. The views surrounding the home are exquisite. Enjoy the sunrise from the mountains in the east and go to rest in the mountains to the west.
While our home is located within close proximity of Yosemite, it is not part of it, so our guests will be able to enjoy the beauty of the area at their leisure.

My family had a great stay. Perfect for little kids and dog. Loved the decor, layout, and play set! It was nice to be secluded but still in driving distance to Yosemite. We drove there two days in a row. Only down side was the septic smell. This took away from eating outside and star gazing.

Yosemite/California/Oregon coast vacation

This vacation home is exactly what it says it is, and more! My fiance and our 2 yorkies left Minnesota to explore Yosemite and chose to stay 5 nights here. The views were beautiful, the quiet was very much needed! Star gazing was wonderful. Every once in a while the neighboring horses could be heard. Everything was perfect.

Perfect for family time!

We came up for a five day visit to hike Yosemite. This property was everything we had hoped for! Secluded and quiet, private, nicely decorated with a fantastic layout that gave everyone plenty of space. The common area was bright and inviting, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We had no trouble getting to Yosemite each morning along a beautiful drive that was about 30 minutes to the entrance gate. We also took an afternoon to visit June lake, which is very nearby. It’s close to several supermarkets and restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Great stay

We happened to visit Yosemite during one of the worst winter snow storms in recent history in the area. There were downed trees, loss of power and no running water since the house was on an electric pump. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short. However, through it all, the place itself was great and the hosts were very communicative and helpful. We would stay again and may come back in the summer :)

Peaceful Escape

We had an amazing stay at this hidden gem. The home was very clean and appears to have been remodeled recently. Excellent kitchen and the use of space is professional done. The backyard is very relaxing and a great place to gather and catch up with family. The outdoor spa helped soothe our sore muscles after a beautiful but challenging 12 mile hike in Yosemite. The views from the spa are spectacular. The sliding glass door from the living room to the backyard could use some new rollers and the final drive up to the house is a little bumpy, but besides that this is a great destination.

Wonderful home for families and pets near Yosemite!

Overall: We had an amazing time here, would highly recommend. Our group was 4 adults and 2 babies (1 & 2 years old), and one dog! The house was amazing, clean, well designed with pretty decor. It was very family friendly (no stairs, no breakable decorations) and perfect for our kids. The property is beautiful and the sounds of nature in the morning is unmatched! It's near some other properties with lots of farm animals like cows, donkeys, horses and even a peacock! It also has this amazing old tree that I could just look at for hours. The hosts were super communicative and made sure we were comfortable before and during our stay. I would definitely come back to this house. Thank you hosts!

Authentic Hospitality

I can't say enough good things about our stay at this property. The house is immaculate and perfect for a stay with family &/or friends. There was a nice welcome wine and local ground coffee for us to use, which was if high quality. It reflected the authentic hospitality that Casa Oso wants to convey for your stay. The kitchen was very well equipped as were the bathrooms and the other living spaces. The hot tub and vistas were exceptional. Just walking the property and getting in touch with the surrounding natural resources was refreshing and relaxing. I wish I would have read the check in instructions more closely as they indicate to stay right off the main road. We arrived at dark and got sidetracked on the short treck back to the property, but it all worked out. The property management was incredibly responsive and reasonable for instructions and questions. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experiece at this Casa Oso.

Beautiful home and property!

This home was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. The kitchen was well-stocked and organized, the beds were comfortable, and the views were stunning. The "extra" touches (coffee, wine, laundry pods, paper goods) made us feel very welcome. Hot tub under the stars was a great way to unwind from our hikes in Yosemite. There was a problem with the air conditioner during our stay, but Maja did what she could to make sure we were comfortable. Window coverings for the back windows and kitchen windows would help immensely to keep the heat of the day outside, and give the AC a fighting chance. Communication was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful access to Yosemite

Our family of five was looking for a comfortable house accessible to you Yosemite. This place met all of our needs. We loved that it was set off on its own property, and the town of Oakhurst was great. Many great options for food. Although it’s a drive to Yosemite, there are not many places we liked that were closer. And our young kids didn’t mind it at all. If we were visiting Yosemite again, we would stay there again without hesitation. During the time we were there, the owner was very responsive to any request we had. We have stayed at many houses, and we would definitely recommend this one.

Great getaway near Yosemite!

We had a great family vacation staying at this fabulous home. It is fully equipped - kitchen with everything provided (coffee machine, blender, utensils, kitchen aid), smart tv, 3 good sized bedrooms, hot tub. Really good communication with the owner throughout our stay and we just couldn’t lock the back door, and they were immediately responsive. The only drawback of our stay is perhaps the distance from Yosemite. It worked well for us as we wanted a relaxing stay with a short visit to the park, but if you are looking for more extensive hiking then you may want a place that is closer. Second, to get to the property you will need to drive on roads that are effectively off-road for about 5-10 minutes. It can feel quite secluded, which we didn’t expect, but didn’t mind - it just might not be for everyone. Overall, giving the place 5 stars. Great property for a group holiday where you want to maximise time together!

Great house with nice amenities

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Oso. Check in was very easy, Maja had left very detailed set of instructions and a lot of great suggestions on what to do. The house was impeccably clean and equipped with everything you need. It offers rural tranquility but at the same time, it is a short drive to grocery stores in case you need anything. The only downside for us was that the Internet was kind of slow so we couldn’t stream any TV. However, having a ping pong table made up for it. Overall, we spent a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend.

Fantastic property

This property is extremely well-maintained and has all the amenities you could want. We stayed for 4 nights and everything was in spotless condition. Communication with the host was timely and accurate, can't say enough good things about Maja. We used this location for a trip to Yostemite National Park, which is about 90 minutes away. Much less expensive than staying in the park itself. There is a town nearby, Oakhurst, which has anything you need with respect to dining and shopping options. If you just want to use this property as a place to relax, it will fit your bill nicely. It is calm, quiet, and gorgeous. I would love to return some day just to unwind for a long weekend.

Good, but could be better.

We stayed at Casa Oso in Ahwanhee over a long four-day weekend. The house was impeccably clean, the surroundings were gorgeous, and the communication was a 10/10. We encountered some issues that would be overlooked in a cheaper rental, but at $X a night, one would expect better. - There is no actual dining room table. The center island in the kitchen is the only table for a group to eat (we went in the winter, so outdoors was not an option). It felt crowded with four adults and two kids, so if you are a bigger group, you will need to figure out a better plan for meals. - The gas burners are too high and need to be calibrated. Even at the low setting, flames were above the grate, and food was constantly getting burnt. - The kitchen sink faucet loose/finding hot vs. cold water was challenging at times. - The kitchen is NOT well stocked with cooking utensils -- needs wooden spoons or more implements to cook with; cookie sheets; large serving bowls. We ended up having to buy extra kitchen bowls/baking sheets just to make a big meal. - THREE dishwashing soap pods. Expect a group to do AT LEAST 2 loads of dishes a day (breakfast and dinner). It was HIGHLY annoying that we had to find/buy supplies that should absolutely be included. It felt stingy and cheap. - FOUR washing machine pods. SEE ABOVE. Had to buy more. - 3 dish towels COME ON! And I think we were only given one roll of paper towels. We had to buy extras. What do they expect guests to use to clean up spills? - OH, I guess the bath or beach towels? Uh, nope. Only given one per person. So they intend for guests to wash the towels? But with only four soap pods for a 4-day stay? - No broom, mop, or vacuum cleaner. We got the feeling they don't expect people to cook or eat in the house... We had to buy a broom. - Sulfur smell from water in guest bathroom -- need a water filter for the entire house - Wobbly toilet in the guest bathroom - Toilet area in the master had a deep urine smell as though it might be under the flooring. Hopefully, the owners can fix these issues, but if not, at least guests can be prepared to bring the needed items from home.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

We arrived at the property and I swear it looked like a snow-covered fairy tale. The house & surrounding area was blanketed with snow and wow it was perfect! Inside the house was warm and welcoming, the big kitchen was perfect for our whole family cooking, we went after Xmas and for New Years so we made that traditional food, tamales, pozole, tacos, etc. The hills in the backyard was perfect for sledding! We brought some inflatable snow tubes and sleds and spent a few hours in the afternoon having some much fun! It was absolutely perfect, I highly recommend this stay. The house was stocked with everything you need, warm blankets, board games, pots and pans, spices, everything!
