Please note: This is one of only two homes on the entire 50+ acres. The two homes share part of a driveway leading to the property, but both homes are completely separate and over two hundred yards away from each other, completely out of sight. The other home is also a vacation rental, and is called Scenic Serenity. Feel free to book both if you have extended family or friends who would like to tag along on your trip!

Please obey the 15 MPH speed limit on Scenic Drive. This is a short, narrow, private road with blind curves, people walking dogs, wildlife crossing, etc.

Rental Agreement- Immediately after booking, the rental agreement displayed at checkout will be sent to you via text and email for E-signing. Kindly E-sign this within 48 hours to finalize your reservation. You will also need to upload a photo of the ID associated with the credit card on file. This is solely for fraud protection purposes. E-signing allows you to go straight to the property upon your arrival, instead of coming to our office to sign and get a key!

Welcome Guide- One week prior to arrival, a digital welcome book will be sent via email and text message. It will have your special door code, address, items provided, and much more great info to help you prepare for your trip!

Access to Yosemite and Nearby Attractions- Yosemite National Park, like many others across the United States, has implemented a reservation system in recent years to manage visitor numbers effectively. We highly recommend that visitors planning a trip to Yosemite stay informed by regularly checking the National Parks websites and affiliated sources for any updates regarding the reservation system. While we strive to provide our guests with an exceptional experience, it's important to note that access to Yosemite or nearby attractions cannot be guaranteed, especially during peak seasons. By staying informed and flexible, visitors can better navigate their travel plans and make the most out of their trip to this beautiful region.

Kitchen- The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cookware, cups, silverware, and more! Our housekeeping team leaves out salt, pepper, and a can of cooking spray. Friends, family, and other guests sometimes leave spices, aluminum foil or ziploc bags at the home. You are most welcome to use any of these items, but if something is particularly crucial to the success of your meals, we do recommend bringing it along with you.

Linens- Our vacation homes are some of the few in the Yosemite area to use professionally laundered linens. All linens are professionally serviced for each and every reservation. The linens are washed in commercial grade washers with stronger hypoallergenic detergent than you would find in a residential washer. All linens are then pressed with an iron at 300° F, vs. a standard home dryer that only reaches 160°. You are not likely to find this level of service in other vacation homes.

Fireplace/Firepit- Kindly note that any type of wood burning is typically unavailable in the summer and fall months, due to heightened fire risk in the area. Propane fireplaces, firepits and BBQ grills are usable year round.

Hot Tub- There is no lifeguard on duty for the hot tub. Please use at your own risk. We kindly ask that you shower prior to entering the hot tub.

Pet Friendly- This property is NOT pet friendly!

Parking- There is enough parking for 5 cars at this property. The garage is unavailable to guests, as it is used for owner storage. We appreciate you not exceeding the maximum parking limit. Many of the local roads are privately owned and privately maintained. Please be mindful to obey speed laws and drive slowly in residential neighborhoods!

Early or Late Check-ins- Early check ins are often difficult for our team to accommodate. If you would like to check in early, please reach out to us after 2PM on the day of your arrival so we can check with our team. If you need guaranteed early check in, we recommend booking the night before your arrival so that you may check in as early as you wish. For checkout, most vacation homes have a 10AM check out in our area. We provide an 11AM checkout, and unfortunately can rarely offer a later checkout.

Occupancy- Maximum occupancy of 12 guests regardless of age. Infants are included in the total. This is strictly enforced. No having events/weddings/large dinner gatherings/guests over just to visit.

Security Cameras- There are external only cameras on the premises that face certain entrance points of the home.

Chains- California Highway Patrol and the National Parks Service may require chains in wintery/snowy/icy conditions. Please ensure you are bringing a vehicle and necessary equipment capable of navigating in these conditions.

No Smoking- The Smoke Remediation Fee will be a minimum of $500 for smoking in the house and could be higher depending on the extent of the damage.

Insurance- Travel Insurance is provided as an option during the checkout process. Please note that as hosts, we cannot protect your trip from flight delays, illnesses, weather, job loss, or other circumstances that may prevent you from making your trip. We truly wish we could! We STRONGLY suggest purchasing some type of Travel Insurance so that you may protect your vacation investment from unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you from making your trip. It's a nominal cost that can absolutely pay off!

Mail- Due to locked neighborhood mailboxes, we ask you not mail anything to the property. You are most welcome to mail items to our office (Love Yosemite! Vacation Rentals) in Oakhurst. Please reach out to us to make arrangements.

Calling Us- The phone number on our account does not receive text messages, because it is the number for our office. Please call that number or send us a message if you need any help or have any questions!

Please note that this property is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, a beautiful escape into nature. However, being in such a pristine, natural environment means we occasionally encounter some of nature's residents, such as ants, spiders, insects, mice and cobwebs. While we take every precaution (including regularly scheduled pest control) to minimize these occurrences, they are a natural part of the mountain experience. Please do inform us if you experience any of these during your stay, so that we have the chance to address them to give you a more comfortable experience.

Neighbors- Please do not trespass on the neighboring properties. We appreciate you respecting the local neighborhood!

Internet- Peer-to-peer (for example bit torrent) and downloads of copyrighted and illegal material are strictly forbidden by United States law and our internet provider actively monitor these activities. Guests are fully responsible for any illegal uploading or downloading of content and for other illegal activities. By agreeing to the House Rules, you agree to not perform any illegal activities using the home`s internet connection. Any copyright infringement by guest is subject to release of guest's information to copyright holder.

Simple Checkout Instructions-
1. Check out time is 11:00am, not 10am like most vacation homes up here!
2. Please do not do any laundry, it's all professionally serviced off-site.
3. If you have time to start the dishwasher, that would be helpful but not necessary.
4. Kindly throw your garbage in the large green dumpster, located out by the parking! It really helps us keep the critters away!
5. Most importantly, please return any furniture you may have moved during your stay.
P.S. Don't forget to get a last minute photo or two with your family and friends before leaving!

This home is perfect for families. Plenty of space, play areas for the grandkids and for the adults (hot tub was great!). Secluded and quiet, lots of places to hang together or do some independent relaxing. Very close to grocery and to the lake. Host is responsive and communication was easy. Hope to return!

Yosemite vacay
This home is clean and well stocked. My communications with the hosts were answered quickly and efficiently. The house is very nice and had plenty of room for the four of us. We saw a doe and her baby in the front yard one day and a family of turkey including babies walk by on another. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in this area.

This is a great home. It is comfortable, private, and close to wonderful recreational activities. We especially enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking in Yosemite and boating on Bass Lake.

Beautiful Home for a Family Vacation
This house was perfect for our family vacation. The location was close enough to Yosemite National Park while still being accessible to town. The property was stunning, our children spent most of our stay enjoying the property. We had 4 adults and 4 children ages 5 and under. The house was large and well appointed . The amenities felt like staying at a hotel with all of the benefits of a house. Would absolutely love to stay here again! Highly recommend!

Family vacation at Yosemite Forks
I rented this property for our annual family vacation whichever includes my son and daughter, son in law daughter in law and three grandchildren. The house was spacious and had all the imedities we needed. A plus was the game room which was a big hit with all. The owner/ management staff was amazing and easy to reach and deal with. We had a wonder stay and would recommend highly.

Beautiful modern cabin
Everything about this experience was super easy and convenient!!! We had an amazing time and loved all of the activities for the kids in addition to the comfort of the home with plenty of seating indoors and out. Perfect family getaway and beautiful home in a great location to soak in all the beauty of Yosemite and surrounding areas. The air conditioning took a while to kick in and the fridge took a while to get cold but those were minor issues to the overall great experience. I highly recommend and would come back next year and every year after that!

Most awesome home away from home
Now... this is the most unibtrusive owner i have ever rented from. I typically jugde my rentals from the instuctions that the owner leaves regarding renter responsibilities. This owner does everything to ensure that you dont feel threatened in any way. His instructions are very friendly. The house is just awesome. Nothing i could write here would do justice to the extent the owner has gone to ensure that anyone who stays here feels at home with terrific surroundings and a homely atmosphere. I will rent this place again and again any time I visit Yosemite
