About

Built in the 1940s and recently upgraded, “The Cookiebutter Cabins” are the most magical and unique in Bass Lake and a perfect setting for family and friend gatherings, wedding celebrations, retreats or whatever else you can dream up! 5 cabin spaces are connected by winding paths and features two hot tubs and a waterfall. You are a 10 minute walk to the lake and a 25 minute drive to Yosemite’s South Entrance. The cabins comfortably fit 25 guests. See sleeping arrangements below.

Good to know

These five enchanting cabin hideaways are nestled together in a small valley at the edge of the Sierra National Forest. Winding forest paths weave the cabins together, converging at a bubbling waterfall that dances through the heart of the property. Along the way, you’ll discover outdoor fire pits, grills, cozy deck spaces, hammocks, a peaceful 8-foot Cowboy Hot Tub perched at the edge of the forest, and a second hot tub tucked among the trees. Every season brings its own kind of magic. Spend summer evenings sipping cocktails in a hammock, gather around board games with friends, bike to the lake, soak beneath the stars, or curl up by the fire and watch the snow. On rainy days, listen to the rhythm of water dancing across the tin roofs while you relax in the warmth of a hot tub. For groups gathering together, we set up 10' wooden banquet tables set beneath twinkling string lights in the upper driveway at the Lolly Lodge. This communal space is thoughtfully woven with designated dishware, silverware, glassware, and wine glasses, creating a beautiful setting for shared meals, games and celebration. Please Note: Due to updated county regulations, all outdoor wood-burning fire pits and grills have been converted to propane. No firewood is necessary. #1 — THE COOKIEBUTTER (Green) This whimsical cabin greets you at the front of the property and is brimming with quirk, character, and charm. Inside, a beautiful freestanding propane fireplace anchors the living space, while a large coffee table invites long evenings of games and conversation. You’ll also find a Super Nintendo, puzzles, a piano, tetherball, a grill, and an outdoor fire pit—each adding another layer to the experience. Sleeps: 6 • Master Bedroom — Full Bed • Loft 1 — Queen Bed • Loft 2 — Two Twin Beds Please Note: Loft #1 is accessed through the Master Bedroom. #2 — THE SNICKERDOODLE (Blue) With its retro interior and open floor plan, the Snickerdoodle offers a cozy and romantic retreat. It’s filled with blankets, books, puzzles, and thoughtful details, while a charming gas stove keeps the cabin warm on crisp mountain evenings. Outside, you’ll find hammocks, a grill, an outdoor fire pit, and a private clawfoot soaking tub where you can unwind beneath the trees. Sleeps: 3 • Main Living/Sleeping Area — Full Bed • Kitchen Nook — Twin Bed #3 — THE LOLLY LODGE (Yellow, Upper Unit) Perched above the property, this private upper unit enjoys sweeping views of the cabins below and the Sierra Mountains beyond.

The Cowboy Hot Tub is just a short stroll away.

This large metal soaking tub is set into the landscape and offers a peaceful place to relax beneath the trees and stars. Amenities include a floating card table with waterproof playing cards and Uno, as well as two lounge chairs and a refreshing copper shower during the warmer months. The jets are clam and do not blow high intensity bubbles. The water temperature is maintained at approximately 102°F and cannot be adjusted. For safety and comfort, a maximum of 6–8 guests may use the tub at one time. Children must always be accompanied by an adult. — CABIN RULES We care deeply for these cabins and the magical experience they provide. To ensure that every guest enjoys their stay—and that the cabins remain special for years to come—please review the following guidelines before booking. (1) Guest Count The maximum occupancy for the property is 27 guests. Some exceptions with prior approval. Exterior security cameras are used throughout the property to verify guest counts. Any unregistered guests or occupancy violations will result in immediate cancellation of the reservation without refund. (2) Pet Guidelines We happily welcome well-behaved pets, but ask that you help us keep the cabins clean and comfortable for future guests. • Pets are not permitted on beds, furniture, or blankets. • Dogs may not be left unattended at the cabins. • Maximum of one pet per cabin. • Pet fee: $30 per pet. (3) Events & Commercial Use Events, weddings, commercial photography, filming, workshops, retreats, and outside guests are not permitted without prior written approval from the owners. If you are interested in hosting something special, please reach out with a detailed description of your plans, expected attendance, and intended use of the property. Additional Fees may apply.

(6) Cancellations & Travel Insurance We adhere to Airbnb’s cancellation policy and strongly encourage guests to purchase travel insurance to protect their trip in the unlikely event that plans change. (7) A Final Note These cabins are vintage mountain homes that have been lovingly restored with modern comforts. As such, you’ll find steeper staircases, thinner windows, creaky floors, winding pathways, and outdoor spaces that remain delightfully lush and untamed. Cookiebutter Cabins are not luxury resorts—they are storybook hideaways built for romantics, adventurers, dreamers, and those seeking a one-of-a-kind experience in the woods. We work incredibly hard to earn our five-star reviews and to create something truly magical. We simply ask that our guests appreciate the cabins for all of their quirks, character, and charm.
