Vacation in the cute historic logging town of North Fork, the exact geographical center of California, only 7 miles from Bass Lake, 22 miles from south gate of Yosemite National Park, and 7 min from Manzanita lake. Marvel at the stunning Sierra Nevada mountains, as you unwind with your group in the newly installed 6-person hot tub (pictures coming soon), stargazing, sharing stories and just catching up! Take a 3/4 mile hike from property back-gate to South Fork Willow Creek adorned with waterholes and waterfalls. And you will have it all to yourself as access is limited. As one recent guest put it - "The river is pure magic. Would definitely stay here again to access the river! We had such a good time." This is your base to explore the wonders of California nature. Follow us on FB/insta @sierralookoutlodge for more info and updates Part of the "Parcels of Paradise", the Sierra Vista Lodge is fully equipped with a 6-person hot tub, Pool table/Ping-pong, Smart TVs, BBQ Grill, fire-pit, fun outdoor games, two-level decks and patio with ample seating. Bordering Sierra National Forest, this is the perfect house for family/friends reunions, or adventure-seekers as the house backs upto unlimited hiking, fishing and exploring past the back-gate. With such a lovely outdoor space right at home, you may not wander far. Adults can enjoy the Sierra Range views from the comfy seating area on the newly stained and renovated decks, great for stargazing, while the kids play cornhole, ladder toss, frisbee toss, soccer, or bocce ball in the large backyard. Sighting wildlife such as deer, turkey, quail, peacock, woodpeckers, and dragonflies will delight the whole group. Pick mulberries from the on-site tree when they're in season, and sprinkle them on your morning pancakes for a special treat. Inside, you'll find a space just as relaxing. There are 2 separate living spaces, plus another dining/living room that offers lots of room to spread out. Entertainment options include board games, a piano in the dining area, a two-in-one Pool table and Ping-Pong table, and two-streaming capable TVs. A field guide in the home makes for a fun scavenger hunt for kids to wander the property and identify local flora and fauna. A dedicated workspace in the primary bedroom assists with any remote work. The six-burner stove in the full, well-equipped kitchen is ideal for feeding a crowd, and there's room for everyone at the adjacent dining table. There are split air-conditioning units in the downstairs rooms and central air-conditioning upstairs to keep everyone cool when the weather is warm. Conclude your day by enjoying a delightful cookout on the gas grill, all while basking in the captivating beauty of the Sierra range as it gleams in the soft glow of the setting sun. Following this, relish in the outdoor ambiance by spending your evening on the deck, allowing your eyes to gradually adapt to the darkness. As the night sky emerges, prepare to be awe-inspired by the sight of the Milky Way on clear nights or the thrill of spotting shooting stars. Engage in lively conversations with loved ones by the inviting firepit or while soaking your worries away in the newly installed hot tub, creating cherished memories to last a lifetime. Right from the guest book -"It is a perfect setup for privacy yet close to activities. You can choose to stay at the property with enough to explore/relax or adventure out close by. We spent nights outside on the deck watching the stars, Watched the deer and turkey on their daily visits, hiked down to the creek daily, short drive to manzanita creek with swim areas and Bass lake within 10 mins. We like to hike so we ventured to Willows Near by which is an awesome hike with waterfalls and pools only 15-20 mins away."

August 2023 5.00Great property and location woukd rent again! Positive: Beautiful location. Plenty of room we didn’t feel over crowded at all. Negative: It wasn’t as secluded as the photos make it look there were actually several neighbors not too far away that you had to drive by on the way in to access this property it was also a very narrow road in

August 2023 3.00The pictures were fairly reflective of the actual place, although its a little older than what we imagined. We thought the lighting in the place was harsh white light but it had all the spaces as described. Kitchen was well stocked with plates and other things which was very convenient. The dishwasher gave us lots of trouble though, perhaps some instructions would have been helpful. One of the rooms (upstairs non-master room) didn't have AC but we think has a vent attaching it to the master room. Heads up that if you're trying to visit Yosemite national park, budget at least 90 min to get to anywhere notable inside the park, and 90 min back. The property sent a lot of messages on checkout and it was a little excessive. Probably about 6 reminders to check out at 10am reminding us that we will be charged a fee if we don't. Made it a little transactional / less peaceful especially approaching check-out.

July 2023 5.00Warm and cozy place. Beautiful nature. The only concern were the floors. Not sure if the place was cleaned/mopped prior to our stay but 10 mins within settling inside, one of the kid spilled water on the dinning floor. We used napkin to wipe the water and napkin was black/dirty. Other than that, really no complaint.

July 2023 5.00Our stay at this North Fork Airbnb was a true delight. The highlight? A private creek that's pure magic. We spent hours by its side, for some well deserved R&R. Yes, the incline is steep, and there's poison oak around, but the creek is PRIVATE, breathtaking and worth every step. The property's spacious layout easily accommodated our group, making it perfect for both relaxation and togetherness. The host's thoughtful touches and well-equipped amenities made our stay even more enjoyable. If you're seeking a serene escape close to nature, this Airbnb is a must. Already looking forward to returning!
