Location and Attractions!
We are located in the beautiful Yosemite Lakes area. This is a small community featuring hiking trails, a golf course, 3 cafes/restaurants, 2 gas stations, and a supermarket for all your basic needs. The dome is located at 1,250ft elevation, which is below the snow line. During the winters, you can take a short drive to enjoy the magic of snow without dealing with the hassles of living in it!

In addition, some main destinations are listed below:

31 miles to the entrance of Yosemite
16 Miles to Oakhurst
23 Miles to Bass Lake

Other things to note:

Please remember to make appropriate reservations to enter Yosemite National Park
We do not accept cancellations due to normal weather events such as storms or smoke caused by wildfires. VRBO may allow cancellation but only after a government issued statement.

The community draws water from a well that is rich in natural minerals which may occasionally leave spots on utensils and sink/shower handles. However, you can rest assured knowing that our professional cleaning crew thoroughly sanitizes the home in between each stay.
