About this house rental
The Tulip House is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is the enchanting legacy of Jill Cooley, ready to amaze lovers of fantasy, of art, of whimsy. It is a home only the soul of a gypsy could envision and create. Susan Cooley is owner and 'curator' of this art gallery, and I invite you to become immersed in the extraordinary craftsmanship, the magical integration of carved wood, tile work that looks like quilting, and wonderful art collected for for decades, resulting in this wonderful and cozy home.
It is a home of fairy tales and storybooks, part "Little House on the Prairie," part South Sea Island, infused with a Hobbit House and a gypsy caravan.
It is located in Bass Lake, which offers fishing, jet skiing, shopping, hiking, or simply relaxing.
20 minutes from Yosemite's South Entrance.
Close to the Sugar Pine Railroad.
Near vineyards, museums, and art galleries.
10 minutes from Oakhurst and 1 hour from Fresno Intl Airport.
The home is such a great fusion of styles, of artisans talents, with nods to artist Piet Mondrian, tile work of the Alhambra in Spain, with a mix of the San Francisco Victorians, with carved doors and archways evoking Bali, and with the home spun quilting in both bedding and in tile and wood combinations.
There are 2 gas fireplace/stoves, a huge well stocked kitchen. The master bedroom has a king size bed and bathroom with a huge shower. In the living room, there is a purple velvet sofa bed that has an enhanced 10" combination foam and air mattress, and the African bathroom. The second bedroom is the Loft over the garage, which sleeps 3-5 people, and has a bathroom, TV, table and chairs, and 2 recliners. The third bedroom called the Corner Pocket, has a queen bed and a half bath. There is a laundry area. Off the kitchen is a porch for lounging or for dining, and on one side, an area to barbeque.
There is WiFi, cable TV, and high speed internet. There is a phone for 911.
Pets are possibly accepted, and must be disclosed to the owner. It is a pet friendly house, but not one for dogs that are not house broken, or are chewers of carpets, table legs, or decks. Yep, please, if your animal has any of these bad habits, don't bring them.
Of course, the Tulip House is smoke free.

Susan is a wonderful host. She provides all the information you need to have great time at the Tulip house. When I asked if there was a leaf available for the kitchen table she called her housekeeper and asked her to look in the garage and bring it to us! Definitely goes above and beyond to make your stay great.

We had a marvelous Ladies Retreat. This home was more than we had expected. It was peaceful, serene and just what we needed to escape for our busy lives. The art works in this place left you in awe of the creativity that went into it. Surely it was a well loved and treasured place. Thanks for sharing with us

Our family absolutely loved our stay at the Tulip House. The house was truly a treasure with all its amazing art and decor. The house was very clean, comfortable, well-stocked with kitchen supplies, and even provided toys and activities for the kids. Susan was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We have been traveling to Bass Lake for decades and this will stand out as a truly memorable vacation.

We absolutely loved staying at the Tulip House! The house itself was filled with beautiful, artistic, fun things to look at while also being incredibly cozy and welcoming. There was plenty of room for everyone and it was fully stocked with everything we needed for a vacation. The location of the house was perfect as well. You are secluded, but it’s only a short drive to the lake, stores and some shops. Part of the reason for our trip was to visit Yosemite. It was only a 30-minute drive to the park entrance. We would definitely love to come back and visit the Tulip House again!
