COUPLES/PARTIES OF TWO: The site automatically gives you a discount when your guest count is 2 or less. The guidelines for the discount is that it is for 2 people, sharing 1 Bedroom and 1 Bathroom, ONLY the Master Bedroom and adjoining Bathroom will be open. All other Bedroom(s)/Bathroom(s) will be locked off. The entire rest of the home is yours to enjoy privately. The locked off bedroom(s) & bathroom(s) will NOT be rented out to anyone else. If your party of two is not a couple and you would like the use of an additional Bedroom and Bathroom there is a small $25 per night additional linen fee to compensate for lower rate we offer for couples sharing 1 room. We unfortunately have to lock off the additional rooms as we’ve had occasions where the home was booked for 2 and unpaid for guests were brought in which is unfortunate. If you have ANY questions regarding our pricing please inquire before booking your reservation to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings.
ADDITIONAL GUEST FEE’S: Although the description of the home indicates that it CAN accommodate 4 guests, we choose to offer this home at a reduced rate for smaller groups. If your guest count exceeds that number of guests, there will be an 'additional guest fee' of $30 per person per night to compensate for the lower rate we have listed for smaller groups, until the maximum occupancy of this home is reached. We price our home in this fashion because we want to be fair to all group sizes, small and large alike. If we only offered a ‘flat rate’ no matter how many guests, smaller groups would pay the same as a larger group and we don’t think that is fair. We feel a smaller groups should pay less than a larger group. Most guests appreciate the break for their smaller group.
Pets:
CATS: None of our homes allow for cats, no exceptions.
DOGS/Other animals: No animals are allowed in this home. It's intended to be an allergen-free environment and includes animals of all kinds except legally mandated service animals with proof of service papers. If you bring a dog into our pet free home there will be an immediate fee of $250 no exceptions.
OUTSIDE FIRES (Not allowed usually between May and October ASK before doing so!!): California has been experiencing a severe drought and the area is extremely dry and the potential for a Wildfire is just to high to risk allowing guests to have an outdoor fire usually between May and October (ASK before lighting one!!). This regulation is determined by our local Fire Department and the banned months could be extended at any time. If you do not find a Fire Pit or Chiminea at the home, the fire ban is in place and they are not allowed PERIOD. When the fire ban is lifted, outside fires are allowed and they MUST be in an approved Fire Pit or Chiminea. If a outdoor fire pit or Chiminea is not provided, DO NOT under any circumstances gather rocks or other materials from around the home and create your own! This does not apply to the Propane BBQ's that are provided for your cooking pleasure. DO NOT use the BBQ for anything other than cooking your meal on, they are NOT intended to be used as a 'Fire Pit' and due to the propane tank attached to them they could explode by doing so.

First impressions are very important. When we pulled up, the patio was very dusty, Jacuzzi lid has buildup of debri, furniture was dusty, had some privacy but we could have easily been disturbed by trailer behind since patio wasn’t fully enclosed, paint was chipping on wall. But the jacuzzi inside was clean, we moved the shade cover so we could see the beautiful starry sky’s while sitting in jacuzzi. That was pretty awesome.
Inside smelled musty, couches are worn and not comfortable, found some spider webs, my husband liked the bed but it was too plush for me, it gave me backaches. Bedroom is carpeted and we personally prefer hard floors.
It’s advertised as 2 bedrooms but they locked one of the rooms so we technically rented a 1 bedroom. We had issues with WiFi password that was provided through the Vrbo site. I had to call her and finally got correct one. She has TV’s but we have to login to our own streaming accounts.
Location is great since it’s close to decent restaurants, stores, Yosemite, and Bass Lake.
We wouldn’t stay there again because the vibe isn’t what we expected.

Had a wonderful stay at this location. Was perfect for a quick little get away. Drove to Yosemite at the South gate entrance and had a wonderful day there. Everything was clean and organized. Would recommend maybe one more larger non stick pan for cooking but other than that it was great.

Also the river was our backyard so outside relaxation was nice.Home equipt with everything you need, very clean beds are so comfy and the hot tub 😍 water pressure in the shower 100% and i didnt have to reach out to the host for nothing because everything was well detailed before check in and during our stay.

Misleading
Listed as a 2 bedroom but the 2nd bedroom was locked off.
listed with AC and only the living room had a wall unit and the Bedroom and bathrooms were Extremely HOT. Outdoor pictures are Misleading and very old. There is a 30' drop to the stream below. that there is NO access to. Very Disappointing.

Enjoyable
Had the pleasure of staying the weekend in Bass lake with my mom. Communication was great with the owner. Location was great. Be careful coming out onto the main road from the house. It is a blind turn but there is a mirror, thankfully!

Wonderful experience!
Having never before used vrbo to find a place to stay on a vacation, this was a very welcome & comfortable place to stay. Very homey & Terri was so accommodating in trying to get the internet connection to work after no connections. Definitely will use vrbo & recommend this particular residence. We’re much happier & more comfortable than at a hotel or resort.

Oakhurst
My husband and I had a great time visiting Oakhurst. We found it easy to get to Yosemite and Bass Lake from this home and appreciated the tips the host left for us for our visit. The home is close to 41 yet quiet. The home was clean and well kept. We were able to cook from home and enjoyed the grill. The hot tub is private and wonderful. Temps were high while we were there but a rest in the hot tub was welcomed after a day of hiking!
Thanks so much for opening up your home!

Pleasant apartment home
We had a very pleasant stay. Lots of trees, birds, and a lovely little partridge family out front during our stay. Very clean.
The only thing I will mention is that this is really the 6th unit of an small single story apartment complex. It appears about 1/2 of them are owned by the same Natures Getaway company or similarly named outfits.
Because of this there was a small amount of the kind of noise you typically associate with an apartment or hotel. The neighbors TV/radio. The occasional slamming door. Stomping feet. Etc etc. Also the washer/dryer is a shared apartment style laundry. It didn’t negatively affect our stay. Way better than your average hotel. But just a heads up, so that you go into it knowing fully what to expect, as many VRBO vacationers like us use the site to avoid close neighbors. Still give it 4 stars. And would still recommend it, because the unit has its own entrance, it’s own yard, and like I said trees and birds galore.
Overall a lovely little stay. Super close to Yosemite and Bass Lake boating.

Private spot close to town and Yosemite
This property is very private and well set up, but does adjoin other properties so there as some noise from other residents. Four star rating only because the hot tub water could do with replacing and we were locked out of the second bedroom (assumed it was me and my husband, but I had indicated it was me and a female friend). This was remedied with a text, thank you. Kitchen is very well set up.

Family Trip
My family stayed at this property for two nights. It was better than we expected. We had a wonderful time visiting Yosemite which was only 20 minutes away from the house and loved having a place to come back to with a very relaxing hot tub. We would stay here again if we could. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!

Very centrally located in town and close to everything. Takes about 20 min to drive into Yosemite.
In town but felt secluded. Hot tub is nice touch. Bed in master bedroom is very comfortable but very tall.

Weekend getaway
We enjoyed our stay. We were expecting it to be closer to the river so we could enjoy seeing it from the house, but otherwise everything was fine.

Memorable
Central location, peace and quiet, hot tub and a starry cold night. The information book was a plus. We've been coming to Yosemite for years and now have new points of interest to check out. The real bonus was the thoughtful addition of the Christmas Tree. Definitely our new get away. Thank you!

Good location
I went to Yosemite each day, and this property is close to the south entrance of the park. It seemed like a long drive to get in to the park because the park is huge. I liked that we were close to town for the grocery stores and the other food options

Quick trip to Yosemite
I truly loved this property. The surroundings has lots of trees and just down a small hill is the babbling brook. Birds are twittering and the resident woodpecker is delightful with his pecking noises! seriously! The unit is very nicely furnished and decorated. Comfortable beds and pillows.
We did not use the hot tub but did use the grill and it worked fine. Only suggestion is for a pitcher in the kitchen to make ice tea would be nice.
It is conveniently located to the surrounding areas and is an easy jaunt up 41 to the park entrance.
We also did a day trip to Shaver Lake bypassing Bass Lake which is very close.
Be prepared to do curvy mountain driving especially in Yosemite and the drive to Glacier Point. Lots of people already in the park, so patience is a must!
Thanks to Mary and Terri who are responsive to texts! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverside!!

Great property
We loved our stay at Nature’s Riverside! Was an easy drive to Yosemite and a relaxing place to hang after a long day at the park. Nights in the hot tub with a fire under the starlit sky were a perfect end to each day! House met all of our needs and would definitely stay there again. Thank you Terri!

Excellent property with a great location!
One of the best properties I've stayed in yet. It was everything and more than I expected. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, clean, great kitchen with everything we needed. Hot tub was perfect after hiking all day. Oakhurst is a nice town with plenty of good restaurants and stores. The hosts were very helpful and responsive.

Getaway to Yosemite, convenient to the park entrance, nice private area.
We went to Yosemite for an anniversary getaway and wanted something close to the park, which this was. This was an attached end unit, but being the end unit had an entry with more privacy and a nice outdoor area to ourselves, with a big parking area near a creek. Nice, clean interior and very comfortable, with one exception for us, the bed. I know beds a subjective (very) but we both found it to be a bit to soft and sometimes felt like we were in a hammock. Otherwise, we felt at home and enjoyed the quite atmosphere provided by this unit in particular. Would we stay here again? Sure, with the caveat being we want to stay IN the park next time! (If at all possible). Thanks for a wonderful weekend away with nature.

Relaxing
The inside was nice, clean and comfortable. Having nature right outside our window was bliss. We truly enjoyed the sounds of of the birds with only a few sounds of construction going on on the main highway, but I know that is only temporary. All in all it is a place to relax and unwind. Thank you.

Wonderful retreat after Yosemite
The home was a very comfortable place to relax after a long day of hiking and exploring at Yosemite. It is clean and well organized for guests. The hot tub was a nice touch too. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Yosemite or surrounding areas.

Clean, comfortable, easy communication, responsive owner, great location to Yosemite
Have stayed in Terri's properties several times, always easy and enjoyable. Her communication is prompt and easy. She's responsive. Home was clean, sufficiently equipped in the kitchen, etc, and suited myself and my 3 kids very well for daily treks north into Yosemite. Thanks, Terri, always a pleasure.

Terri was a great host and we were honored to be able to stay at her beautiful property. It was very clean and well maintained; she was also very kind to leave the lights on outside and heat up the home prior to our arrival. We will definitely be coming back to stay again.

Beautiful, simple and tranquil!!!
My husband and I came to get away for our anniversary last minute and we were so lucky to find this beautiful place. Great place to rest your bones after hiking in Yosemite. Quiet location and fully stocked home and kitchen to cook your own meals. The bed was cozy and the fire perfect to have on a cold, rainy day. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Nice and cozy cottage near the soth entrance of Yosemite's National Park off route 41. Loved the convenience of home right at your fingertips (supermarkets, gas station, restarants,etc). Would highly recommend stay at Nature's Riverside!

We really enjoyed our stay. Well stocked kitchen and amenities. The beds were especially comfortable. And since we were guests in the winter there were electric warming pads on the guest bed, body wash and shampoo dispensers in bathrooms as well as a very nice and cozy fireplace! Great time enjoying the hot tub as well. Would stay again!

My friends and I had an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at Terri's property. The amenities of the house were fantastic, and the location was perfect near the south entrance of the park and also near the town of Oakhurst. Terri did a great job of communicating with us before we came. We would totally rent from Terri again! Thank you and many blessings to you, Terri!

We rented this property for 4 days for our Yosemite trip. When we arrived, we were surprised the property had a clean Jacuzzi and grill ready for any special events. The home is fairly large for our family members and it included 2 bedrooms & 2 baths which was very clean and prepared for us. The kitchen was cleaned and well stocked with utensils, pots, pans - everything you could possibly need. The sheets in the bedrooms were neatly tucked and fans in each bedroom kept us cool throughout the night. There is also a fan in the main living room as well as an AC unit which keeps the entire home very cool during the day. There were other nice amenities in the home such as the large screen TV with cable, firewood for the fireplace, and high speed internet via router (very important these days). The showers were pre-stocked with towels as well as shampoo, conditioner, and soap so you don't need to bring anything to the bathroom except your toothpaste and brush! At night you can walk outside and see the stars in the very clear skies above Oakhurst.
