Yosemite's Suite Retreat's "Gingerbread Tiny House" Perfect for 2!

A reservation is required to enter the Park between 5 am and 4 pm on some dates in 2024. April 13-Jun 30 Sat, Sun, & Holidays only.
The 'Gingerbread House' is a rustic one-of-a-kind storybook A-Frame chalet or "Tiny House" with a loft. Absolutely adorable, loaded with charm and character however this may NOT suit some guests. The loft is accessed by way of a ladder with a 250 lb. weight limit. There is no bathroom or water up there, nevertheless this is probably one of the nicest rooms on the property. Set up in the trees offering the feeling of being in a tree house, a fantastic spot to relax, perhaps read a book, take nap on the queen size bed. We provide clean linens that have been washed in ECO friendly soap.
The main level offers a small well-equipped kitchenette with a small refrigerator, microwave, a large kitchen sink and a farmhouse table with seating for 2. Please note there is no stove/oven. There is a propane BBQ on the patio also.
The living/sitting area has a futon couch which makes a full-size bed, perfect for those who would rather not sleep in the loft or perhaps a 3rd person. There is a small 32-inch Samsung smart TV (no cable service). This cottage also offers wireless internet.
The cottage is best heated by the wood burning stove (we supply the paper, kindling and wood) however there is a small propane wall heater.
For the warmer days there is a wall air conditioner in the loft.
Adjacent to the kitchen area is a full bathroom with the “charm of yesterday” including a claw foot tub with the shower overhead and separate sink. Please note the water heater is small (20 gallons) and may not be suitable for warm baths during the cooler months.
Fresh clean towels that have been washed with ECO friendly soap, are provided for your use.
The steppingstone walkway outside leads to a cute small, covered patio area perfect for barbecuing and/or relaxing after a day of adventure.
We also offer for your consideration Yosemite's Suite Retreat's Little Bear Tiny House, a 1 level studio cottage perfect for 2. VRBO # 359315

Lovely Tiny House Retreat and Responsive Host
Sharon was a wonderful host, and the Tiny House was lovely, cozy, and private, despite sharing property with host and another rental cottage. Instructions were very clear and informative, and Sharon was responsive and welcoming. We would definitely stay there again!

Fell in love with Oakhurst & Yosemite
The “tiny cabin” was the perfect place for our visit to Yosemite! The cabin itself had everything we could have needed and was so charming! The location was convenient as well. Downtown Oakhurst has grocery stores, cute shops, breweries, and wineries. Not to mention we were ~ 25 minutes fr South Gate of Yosemite and about 10 minutes from Bass Lake. Both were amazing! We are thrilled with our 2 night stay and wish we had longer.

Romantic Yosemite getaway weekend
We had an amazing stay at the gingerbread house. It was the perfect, quiet, romantic place for us to unwind after adventure packed days in Yosemite! There is a ladder up to the loft which was fine for us (and a cute addition!) but I can see how this may be troublesome for others.

Unique cozy cabin, very comfortable and adorable,
We would stay there again. The host was very accommodating and made sure the cabin was cool when we arrived. Especially since the temperature outside was very hot . The location was a short drive to Bass Lake. We used the bbq for delicious steak dinners. We totally enjoyed our 30th anniversary there. It was nice to be in such a cute & unique cabin!! Thank you

A Cozy Retreat!
Sharon and Mike have an awesome property just on the edge of town that gives the feeling of being in the wilderness, but the convenience of being close to shops and restaurants. It is just as cozy as the pictures show. It is also very secure and I felt incredibly safe as a solo traveler. Sharon left great instructions on check in and check out procedures as well as many suggestions on what to do in the area. I ended up visiting Bass Lake, Yosemite, and Sequoia and King's Canyon during my stay. The latter two are a bit of a haul from Oakhurst, but so worth it. If you are looking for a comfy place to stay while exploring the wilderness, this is the place for you!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Super cute place. Well taken care of and had everything we would need. Loved the benefits of being close to Oakhurst but feeling like we were in the woods. Great launching point for our quick trip to Yosemite.

Better than expected!
The Tiny cottage was "PERFECT!" It was beautiful and the hostess thought of "EVERYTHING!" to make it feel like home! My Wife and I spent our 30th anniversary there! We Loved it. The Hostess even helped me surprise my Wife with flowers in the cottage when we arrived. I would not only recommend this to everyone, but I would stay there if possible the next time we head out that way. Perfect experience! Would highly recommend if visiting Yosemite National park. It is close to the south entrance to the Park and close to Bass lake.

Great find!
This cute A-frame was a great find. It was actually more spacious then the pictures made it seem, and the small hot water tank still allowed for my partner and I to each take 10 min showers. The only downside is not having an oven or stovetop, but we made do with the microwave and outdoor grill. As a note for anyone looking to explore Yosemite, this cottage is a 30 minute winding drive from the park, however once you get into the park you have to drive another hour to get to the valley floor.

Such a cute little cabin! Perfect for our 2 night stay visiting Yosemite. Very clean and tidy. Had a grill outside which we used for making dinner one night. Went to lake bass the first day which we made a fun beach day out of (make sure you have $10 cash for visiting fee). Yosemite not that far at all....would highly recommended this VRBO if going there. Very intimate perfect spot for a couples retreat :)

My husband and I came here for a quick getaway to Yosemite National Park and this place was absolutely perfect. It’s pretty small so I would recommend having more than 2 people stay here. But it’s super cute, off the beaten path and very private. The owners were friendly and responsive as well!

Comfortable Cottage
The property listing was very accurate. Clean, comfortable, and cozy! The only thing that took a little getting used to was the ladder up to the loft. It would not be good for anyone with physical impairments. Pleasantly surprised with the size of the sleeping loft. Expected low ceilings but they were tall. Our host was very responsive and helpful!
