About this house rental

Riverfront retreat with swimming pool, granite waterfall, spa, pool table, game room, ping-pong, views, fishing, golf, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, large stainless steel kitchen, 3 fireplaces, outdoor grill, fabulous views, pines, oaks, garden, Indian grinding stones, 5 acres to roam, outdoor living & dining, large great room, open dining room kitchen, minutes to Yosemite, minutes to Bass Lake, panning for gold, hawks, red-wing blackbirds, blue-heron, ducks, jays, swallows, etc. Enjoy the outdoors from inside or outside this one level, 3000 sq. ft. beautiful home, with 500+ feet or riverfront. The location is ideal. Along a river bend, with mountain views, graceful trees, spectacular waterfall swimming pool/spa and much, much more. The challenge with this property will be leaving it!

At the entryway, and around the property, are enormous granite rock outcroppings. The home has accents inside and out of granite stones, a redwood paneled master bath, oak mantels, all harvested from the property. The polished concrete floors keep the home cool in the hot summer, and help maintain the warmth in the cold winter months. The ceilings are beamed and finished in pine. Located minutes from Yosemite, Bass Lake, and Oakhurst. Outside living areas include outdoor dining table and comfy chairs, lounges around the pool, and Adirondack chairs at the river. Cook outside on the outdoor grill or cook up a storm in the stainless steel kitchen. Appliances include Viking induction stove, Thermador convection ovens, and more. Sit under the granite rock waterfall in the built-in pool ledge, or jump off a 3' rock into the pool. Of course, you could swim a lap or float in the pool as you soak in the sun. Dip your toes in the river & watch the red-tail hawks glide between trees.

Hang-out in your chair until sunset & watch a deer, rabbit or possibly raccoon come to the river. After you’ve hiked Yosemite park, return home & soak your muscles in the ground level round jetted spa next to the swimming pool. Stroll to the end of the property, walk on the golf course, & shag a couple of lost golf balls on your way. Play a round of golf, or enjoy a sandwich at the rustic clubhouse, which is also adorned in granite & pine decor. Head on back to the river, grab a volleyball & couple of friends & hit the ball around the sandy beach volleyball court. Feel the cool sand between your toes. Maybe perch yourself on a granite rock & reflect on when Miwok Indians used the grinding stones to make meal, or give it a try yourself. Set up the croquet set & play a round with your mates. The river is more like a creek in August & September, so there is a lot more sandy area to explore.

Some say there’s gold in that river. So, try your luck at panning for some gold right out your door. Maybe a nice nugget for your jewelry box, or a couple flakes as a memento of your trip. Of course, we are not making any promises and do be careful of all the fools gold in the river! If the season's right, pick some fruit out of the trees, or berries. Cut a sprig of rosemary, an iris, rose, lavender, or wild-flower or two for the bud vase in the bathroom or kitchen. Before you head home, or on to your next destination, give the laundry room a work out and pack your bags with clean clothes. Of course, if you want to extend that vacation feeling, there is a local cleaner close by. If you have been able to resist the tire swing, take a spin or two before you leave. Maybe your last night could be spent sleeping in the hammock in the trees. Sign the guest book, and we’ll keep a light on for your next visit.

We love the country feel and many fun features. My 3 generation families never had a dull moment there. Everyone loved the resort-like facility.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
This place is great plenty of rooms for our large family. Easy check in and the river still had water running just enough to enjoy about 1 1/2 feet of water. The pool was also great.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2024
This older home was certainly roomy enough for our family of 6 adults & four kids. We drove to Yosemite one day & spent the rest of the time on the property. The river was still running & the kids enjoyed playing in it. The pool was a hit. Both the pool & the hot tub were well maintained. One caveat: the pool is not fenced in. We were not comfortable leaving the children outside unsupervised. The pictures with the listing should be updated. Some of the outdoor furniture seen in the pictures is gone. The volley ball area is in disrepair. The dining rooms chairs & a living room couch are now covered with slipcovers. A double oven shown is missing the top oven & a toaster oven sits in the space where the oven was. An opaque light panel in the kitchen was replaced by a clear one, exposing the inside of the light fixture. The deck railings look fine but are unstable & need to be repaired or replaced. Supposedly the appliances were replaced in 2021. But during our stay, the top rack in the dishwasher did not work at all. The kitchen sink faucet wasn’t properly attached. In the master bath, 1 sink stopper didn’t work & we had to prop it open with a straw. Steve, the onsite manager was attentive but unable to fix these issues during our stay. Considering the condition of the house, we thought the rental price was reasonable. With greater investment, Riverbend could go from a good place to stay to a great place to stay.
