The Property
Green Gables Ranch sits on 2.5 acres of oak woodland in Oakhurst, California — a town of 3,000 people at 2,240 feet in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Wild turkeys roam the yard most mornings. Deer appear at dusk. The house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a kitchen that guests consistently describe as the best they've encountered in a vacation rental.
Yosemite National Park is 40 minutes up Highway 41. Bass Lake is five minutes south. The town has a grocery store, a brewery, and a farmers market. This is a place to decompress and explore — not just a place to sleep between park visits.

"We loved staying at this house. It was peaceful and even got to see deers in the backyard! It was a great experience for my family."
The ranch sits in an active wildlife corridor. Wild turkeys appear most mornings. Deer are common at dusk. Guests have spotted foxes, hawks, and the occasional coyote. The best strategy is a quiet porch and coffee around 6 AM.

"We had planned a simple weekend getaway to Yosemite which turned into a surprise engagement. We had an amazing and peaceful stay at this location in Oakhurst. Thank you for being a part of such a memorable stay for us, as well as our first time to Yosemite!"

"Great spacious place to stay! The kitchen has just about every amenity you need to cook a feast or just hang out. So nice having a grill outside and we took advantage! The A/C worked great. The house is very spacious and comfortable. Perfect base for Yosemite — we drove up early each morning and had the Valley almost to ourselves."

"My family and I stayed here for a few days. We had a blast. My mother enjoyed the HUGE kitchen space. We are a big family and it was so spacious and made the cooking experience fun. We used it as our base for Yosemite and it was perfect — close enough to get there early, far enough to feel like a real escape. Would definitely come back."

"The place was absolutely beautiful! The rooms are very spacious and have very cute corners for a peaceful sunrise or sunset. The kitchen is well stocked and the 3 bathrooms were a huge bonus for our group. In all honesty, while our trip was to visit Yosemite National Park, a part of us wanted to stay inside the house."

"We loved staying at this house. It was peaceful and we even got to see deer in the backyard! It was a great experience for my family. We used it as our base for Yosemite and I would definitely recommend to others looking for a place near Bass Lake or Yosemite. Would certainly stay again!"

"Absolutely loved this property. We came for Yosemite and stayed for the ranch. The deer showed up every morning like clockwork. The kitchen is genuinely impressive — we cooked every dinner instead of going out, which saved us a fortune. Timothy is a responsive and thoughtful host. Will be back."

"Perfect Yosemite base camp. We left at 6:30 AM each morning and beat the crowds every single day. The house itself is beautiful — vaulted ceilings, great kitchen, comfortable beds. Kids loved the foosball table. The property is quiet and private. Exactly what we needed after long days in the park."

"Brought our two dogs and they were completely at home on the 2.5 acres. We visited Yosemite three days in a row and came back each evening to a peaceful property with mountain views. The host was incredibly communicative. One of the best Airbnb experiences we've had — and we've stayed in a lot of places near Yosemite."
