Family-Friendly Lakefront Retreat; Private Dock & Beach-Walk to Pines Village | Cabin in Bass Lake
3 Bedroom Cabin in Bass Lake
The Desmond French Lakefront Retreat has been our private family cabin for over 40-years and we have begun renting it with other families in late summer of 2025.
Crafted with care and full of character, the cabin features some original retro 60’s furniture along with modern amenities —each detail adding to its mountain lodge charm.
With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and just under 2,000 square feet of living space, there’s plenty of room to gather, relax, and enjoy your time in the Sierra Nevadas.
