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 text message. For the protection of our guests, the guidebook will not be given out to anyone except the person who booked the property. The guidebook will have your special door code, address, local recommendations, and much more great info to help you prepare for your trip!
Access to Yosemite and Nearby Attractions: Yosemite National Park now uses a reservation system to help manage visitor numbers. Keep in mind that access to certain park areas can sometimes vary, especially during peak or snowy seasons. Staying flexible and checking conditions ahead of time will help you make the most of your adventure in this stunning region.
Kitchen: The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, cookware, cups, silverware, and more! Our housekeeping team provides salt, pepper, and a can of cooking spray for your use. Occasionally, previous guests leave behind items such as spices, aluminum foil, or ziplock bags. You're welcome to use any of these, but please note that our team does not check for or restock them, so we can't guarantee what will be available. If these items are crucial to the success of your vacation, we recommend bringing them along to ensure you have everything you need. We try to clearly state this in the listing so there are no surprises.
Linens: Did you know that our vacation homes are among the few in the Yosemite area to feature professionally laundered linens? For every reservation, all linens are cleaned in commercial-grade washers using hypoallergenic detergent that's stronger and more effective than typical residential options. They're then pressed at 300°F—nearly twice as hot as a standard home dryer—to ensure the highest level of cleanliness and freshness. It's an extra step we take to provide a truly clean, comfortable, and welcoming stay.
Fireplace/Firepits: (Per Madera County Regulation) No open wood-burning fire pits, bonfires, or campfires are permitted at short-term rentals. Charcoal grills of any type are strictly prohibited. Guests shall not bring any personal grills, barbeques, or other outdoor cooking apparatuses to the short-term rental; only those grills, barbeques, or other outdoor cooking apparatuses provided with the short-term rental are permitted to be used as installed and in the location installed. (Ordinance # 9.32.100)
No Pets: We love animals but unfortunately, this home is not pet-friendly. This helps us protect guests with allergies. If you're traveling with a furry friend, let us know — we'll be happy to recommend one of our pet-friendly Love Yosemite! properties nearby.

Many of the local roads are privately owned and privately maintained. Please be mindful to obey speed laws and drive slowly in residential neighborhoods!
Security Cameras: There are external only cameras on the premises that face certain entrance points of the home.
Snow Chains: California Highway Patrol and the National Park 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.
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.
Pests: Please note that this property is nestled in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains, offering a wonderful connection to nature. While we take regular preventive measures, including professional pest control, occasional visits from local wildlife—such as ants, spiders, insects, mice, or cobwebs—can occur. If you notice any of these during your stay, please let us know so we can promptly address them and ensure your comfort.
Neighbors: Please do not trespass on the neighboring properties. We appreciate you respecting the local neighborhood!

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.
Quiet Hours: Quiet Hours are from 10PM to 8AM everyday. This is a quiet, mountain area so limiting noise during these hours would be appreciated by the locals who call our area home.

Check Out: Check out is 11AM or anytime before.
Hot Tub: Hot tub is checked before and after every reservation, and is professionally serviced.

Also, by agreeing to these house rules, you understand there is NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY for the hot tub, and that you agree to use at your own risk.
Lost items or left items: Management assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen or abandoned items. Reasonable effort will be made to contact the Guest for return. There will be a $35.00 handling charge PLUS shipping costs for any found items returned at Guest's request. Management shall not be held liable for the condition of said items. Any items not claimed for longer than 30 days may be donated or sold.
Simple Checkout Instructions: We understand checking out can be stressful and hectic, so we have implemented some of the easiest checkout procedures in our industry. 1.) No need to start any laundry, we'll handle it all off site with our professional linen company. 2.) If you have time to start the dishwasher, that would be helpful. 3.) Kindly use the bins in the garage to throw away your garbage! It really helps us keep the critters away! 4.) PLEASE return any furniture you may have moved during your stay (especially outdoor chairs). 5.) Most importantly, please note our checkout time is 11am, not 10am like over 80% of vacation homes in our area!

Memorial Day weekend at Bass Lake
When you come to Bass Lake, you would expect the home to be exactly provided with the decorations including bears on the light switches rustic and mountain decor, wood paneling, very clean. My wife is detail-oriented. She loved it. 8-minute walk to the pine resort, and Marina. The marina has all the water, sports toys, jet skis and boats for rental. Breakfast was great at a place called forks right on the lake. You can dock the boat and walk up for a great breakfast. The boating lifestyle is appealing, other folks on the lake were very cool. Verlots of courtesy. It was Memorial Day weekend. And yes there were a number of boats on the lake but I saw no incidents and everything was well operated. Water temp is nice and warm too. I have middle school kids water's about 75 and this is not even June. If you're thinking about a family lake trip Bass lakes, a great option. Excellent coffee in the fridge was supplied, garbage bags were a little thin, and that's probably my only complaint. And the kids love the hot tub. It's big and on the deck.

Bass Lake Getaway
Stay was great. Property delivered as expected. Property manager checked in several times which was unexpected but appreciated. Everyone had a great time and we got to see the local bear when I accidentally left the garage open for too long ... fun times were had by all.

Bass Lake Perfection
Willow Cove Cottage was perfection. The Property Manager Steve was amazingly helpful and a delight to work with while at Bass Lake. We were up for our friends daughter’s wedding at the Pines Lodge and the location of the property was perfect - easy walk.
We stayed for 5 nights and did a shop in Oakhurst at Vons before coming in to provision the house. Kitchen, family room, decks, jacuzzi and bedrooms were all great.
Love the lake and rented a boat at Miller’s Landing. If you’re going to rent a boat for multiple days (we did not) might be helpful if there was a slip on the Willow Cove community dock (gated and code required).
Definitely would return to this property on future visits to BL

Fantastic Cabin!!!
This place was perfect. We loved the location and the amenities could not have been better. Close to Yosemite, and the little town of Bass Lake has everything from restaurants to shops to bars and boat rentals. I highly recommend staying here. Only issue was that the hot tub seemed to have some trouble with regulating the temp and seemed to overheat. I simply turned it off at the sub panel and let it rest for a bit and it seemed to be fine after that. I recommend Miller's Landing to rent boats from. Thanks so, so much for a wonderful stay!!!

Willow Cove - Bass Lake
Cabin was large and roomy- cleanest is another matter. This cabin needs a good top to bottom cleaning. Spiders web were quite large, stove hadn’t been cleaned in ages. We had to deeply clean it before we could even use it. When we turned on the living room ceiling fan their was thick dust coming down, which is very unhealthy! Also the master bathtub had lots of mold, which is really unhealthy! I have pictures of these items. I’m sorry I feel we should get some of the rent refunded or at least our cleaning deposit back! I’m sorry we were told we couldn’t even get in a little early for the cleaning people need time to keep the cabins safe, clean and healthy. I’m sorry that statement is far from the truth!
