Escape to the peaceful setting of our Black Bear Haven, perfectly positioned to offer both seclusion and convenience. A quick drive will take you to the center of town, where you`ll find essential services like grocery stores, gas stations, and a selection of restaurants. Despite being so close to these amenities, the property offers a true sense of escape and tranquility. We ask that you respect the neighbors and maintain the quiet environment.

Most people will want a car. It is also possible to take the YARTS bus and walk from the stop near the Starbucks. This would be a bit of a walk (about 1 mile).

Note: At times Yosemite National Park requires reservations, see the official website for details, if you fail to get them you can take the YARTS bus or another tour into the park without reservations.

Charcoal for the grill is not provided. While we try to keep salt, pepper and oil stocked for your convenience, it is not guaranteed.

The thermostat will only allow you to set the temperature between certain minimum and maximum temperature limits. Should you need to exceed these temperature limits there are additional fees.
