Mountain Cabin for Rent, Bass Lake, California

37671 Shoreline Place

 

Located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of Central California, near the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park, Bass Lake is a recreation destination for those who enjoy water sports and the types of recreation and relaxation that only a wooded mountain lake can provide. Bass Lake is optimally positioned for a mild climate in the Yellow Pine belt at an elevation of 3500 feet. This results in warm summer air temperatures (in the 80's and low 90's), a comfortably warm water temperature, and mild winters (a few inches of snow).

This custom built recreation home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Marina View subdivision. The rental includes membership in the private Marina View Heights Dock Association, which entitles guests to use the association's launch ramp, boat dock, and water-front recreation facilities. The two story home includes two levels of redwood decking and commands a panoramic view of the south end of the lake and the distant mountains and foot hills stretching into the San Juaquin Valley.

Bass Lake History

Bass Lake has been a popular vacation destination for nearly 100 years. Construction of a hydroelectric dam at the southern end of Crane Valley across the North Fork of Willow Creek began in 1899. The lake reached its current level in 1909 with the completion of the current earth-filed dam. It is currently operated by Pacific Gas and Electric Company. At an elevation of 3,500 feet, Bass Lake gets some winter snow with mild spring and fall temperatures. The summertime lake temperature climbs to 80 degrees by mid July - ideal for water activities. Area activities include hiking, mtn biking, fishing, sightseeing, and visits to Yosemite National Park. In addition to recreation, the water is used to generate electricity and to irrigate the San Juaquin Valley's rich farmland. The lake normally fills in late spring and is lowered in the fall for flood control purposes which makes room for the run-off from winter rains and the following spring snow-melt.

Bass Lake has been the backdrop for many TV commercials and motion pictures including the Academy Award winning "Leave her to Heaven" (1945), "The Deerslayer" (1957), "The Great Outdoors" (1988), "Meatballs 4" (1992), and most recently, "Mouse Hunt" (1997).
