We had a great time celebrating my parent's 50th anniversary! One of the reasons we chose Bass Lake was it's proximity to Yosemite, which had been closed for months due to the coronavirus. Fortunately it re-opened the day of our arrival! So we were able to drive the 1.5 hours to Yosemite Valley and enjoy the impressive sights and hiking trails for the first time, which was so worth it.
Our family brought some kayaks and made good use of the assigned slip, which was a little ways down the road. I'd recommend taking a car to the docks as it's a bit of a walk, especially for older folks.
The cabin itself was great, very clean, plenty of room for the 10 of us. We loved the huge windows in front, however there were no blinds/curtains for the top large windows, so when the sun shines through, it really heats up the room and is blindingly bright. We got there at peak sunshine for the cabin so it was hot inside and the couches in the sun were too warm to sit in. FYI, the thermostat is upstairs, which took us a bit to find so we could start cooling down the house.
There's just 1 bathroom upstairs for the 4 bedrooms, so getting a shower required a bit of patience. We could have made use of the shower in the master bathroom downstairs as well, but wanted to leave that for my folks. There's another bathroom (no shower) downstairs as well as another bare bones bathroom (no shower) at the garage level, so 4 bathrooms, with 2 showers total. The master bedroom and bathroom were huge and really nice! The master bedroom also has a huge walk-in closet that my wife was very jealous of.
In case the 5 bedrooms won't sleep everyone, the upstairs couch has a pullout bed, and the walk-in closet in the master bedroom also had an inflatable mattress. We didn't make use of either but having that flexibility is great.
The driveway is a bit of a challenge, it's kind of a steep incline that curves a bit, which wasn't a problem for our SUV's, but cars with low clearance might scrape a bit.
We did have a minor issue with the check-in process. I never received the instructions for how to get keys, even after asking the night before our arrival. My folks arrived before us, so I wound up calling management from the road, and they had to drive to the management office to pickup the keys, which is at the north end of the lake. I was hoping it'd just be a lockbox with a code at the cabin, no biggie, just wish I knew ahead of time.
