Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Eastern Sierra

This is the best to place to stay if you’re in or near Porterville!

As it was Easter weekend, Christina had her house decorated for both spring and Easter. She also left a basket by the front door with some treats for my daughters as well as a welcome sign for us. This house was most definitely stocked for us more than any other house. We were able to use a crockpot to cook chicken in while we climbed Vernal Falls in Yosemite. That made the trip nice because we could come home and start our dinner right away. The house is very large and has room for many guests to visit in the living room, outside or even in the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay at Christina's house and would definitely return when we go to Yosemite again.

Overall, my stay was great! The place was spacious and clean, and we got everything we needed. It was fairly close to the Sequoia Nation Park and a town where you can find restaurants and supermarkets. Communication was great with Juana. Definitely, coming back again!

We just returned from an AMAZING five days at The River’s Edge in Oakhurst. Perfect location near Yosemite, restaurants in town, Bass Lake, and the Yosemite Sugar Pine Train. Tina’s home is a private magical retreat near a roaring creek (thank you melting mountain snow!) with the best King pillows in the master bedroom…we got the best sleep ever! Tina’s instructions and communication was spot on. Our kids and pups enjoyed the stay, too! We highly recommend The Forks Resort restaurant at Bass Lake for the yummiest burgers, fries, and onion rings😋 Bee’s Bakery coffee and pastries were delicious 🤤 We were craving Mexican food and decided on Plazuelas Mexican Restaurant & Taqueria 🌮near Raley’s grocery store…it didn’t disappoint! And for dessert, don’t forget to stop by Reimer’s Ice Cream & Candy shop for an old fashioned ice cream sundae🍨. Excellent Spring Break Yosemite adventure with my family. Thank you, Tina!❤️🙏🏻

She said YES! I had my proposal here and it was perfect. Sandy was super responsive and helpful with everything and her property was beautiful. My fiancé wanted it to be beautiful but private and that's exactly what it was. The house was great too, very clean, very cozy. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

We will definitely be back and were sad to leave. We loved this cabin! The backyard is gorgeous! The house itself is comfortable and cozy. The beds were great and we all slept well. The main bedroom is HUGE. You could bring an inflatable bed if you needed to and it would easily fit. Others have mentioned the twin beds in the front room...they're off to the side from the kitchen and living space so it isn't like they're in the middle of that space and are bigger than they appear in pictures FYI and the second bathroom is near so that is also convenient. My large boys (ages 13 & 15) liked hanging out on the twin beds in the front room. There is a General Store right across the way with great milkshakes and food too. It was fun to buzz over there and grab a treat or breakfast or a burger. We can't wait to come back.

We visit Kernville one to two times a a year. This was my favorite place so far out of the places my family and I have stayed. We have a family of 5 (3 kids) and they absolutely had a blast, plenty of games and activities for them to do at the house including swimming. We also had some friends and family visit us and the place was great for entertaining guests. I highly recommend staying here the host is very responsive and friendly. We look forward to visiting again. Thank you!

Nathan is a great host and we enjoyed staying at his townhouse. Very convenient location for the slopes, restaurants and shopping. Easy parking next to the house.

Was a great place to stay. Not all the tv’s worked and there were only 6 towels for 6 girls for 5 nights so that was hard but overall was wonderful place to stay and will stay there again if the opportunity arises.

The home is located in a quiet neighborhood about 25 -30 mins away from the tunnel view in Yosemite. The home is cozy and well equipped with everything one would need for a short stay of a few days. Our kids loved the trundle bed setup. Tom is very responsive to questions and is extremely knowledgeable about the area. His tips to us during our stay were valuable. The snow was clearing when we stayed and access to the house was no problem. I would definitely consider snow chains and careful driving if visiting when it is actively snowing. The location is perfect if one is planning on visiting both the Yosemite valley as well as Mariposa grove near the south entrance since both are about 30 mins away in opposite directions. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

Theodore was amazing. No host replied this fast! I was looking for a place at the very last minute but he answered all my questions at like 11 pm, and he was so helpful. I really thank him for that. The interior was really outstanding. 💖 Theodore made sure the place was warm and cozy before I checked in. I had places that didn’t really warm up, but this place.. my God. It gets hot lol I actually had to lower and lower the heat to stay warm! Big TV, comfortable bed, plenty of towels, nice indoor jacuzzi & dry sauna! The jacuzzi was like bubble bath.. 🛀 I don’t know what’s in it, but it made my skin so soft. In summary, if this place is available, you gotta grab it. 😎

Anastasia's place is a "home away from home." It is quiet and peaceful, close to all amenities and attractions, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. I will recommend her place to other friends and families.

Tammi was a very responsive and gracious host. Location was awesome. Very easy to park and get in. The condo was comfy, spacious, and had everything needed for cooking and coffee in the morning. Would stay here again!

The condo was perfect for my husband and I for a few days of skiing. It was probably the best stocked kitchen ever without having too many extra things. The bed was comfortable. The new hotel being built behind the Westin does interfere with the few a little but you can still see the mountains over the top of it and sitting on the balcony is still very nice! It was great having the locker for our skis. The bottle of wine was a appreciated extra. It is very easy to walk down the stairs to the Village gondola and restaurants. We did take the bus back from Canyon Lodge so that we didn't have to walk up the stairs in our ski boots. We would stay here again.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our mammoth trip. The condo was spacious, clean, and had everything you could need in it. It is directly across from the village, and the gondola to get to the mtn. Thomas the host gave clear directions and was very responsive. I will 100% be staying here again.

Loved Shelby's place and felt right as home when I walked in. The place was squeaky clean and was well thought out by the owners. I pay extra to avoid a cookie cutter dull hotel experience and Shelby's home delivered. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay! The owners were responsive and wonderfully communicative. The house is beautifully maintained and everything we expected and way more. The AC was on for us, making unpacking much more pleasant. The beds are super comfortable, and the bedding so soft. The living room was perfect for lounging with our group. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked and the BBQ was pristine. Couldn’t imagine a better place to spend a weekend with your nearest and dearest.

Our team had a great stay at this house. Joep was a great host and the house was very nice, we would recommend this home to anyone. We are definitely going to consider renting it if our team travels to Friant again.

Sneha was a terrific host. We had questions and a few needs at checkin that were answered promptly and effectively.

We had a great time! The house is comfortable and location is great. The views are amazing, peaceful, and quiet. Our stay was very comfortable. No complaints.

Our stay was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The StoneHouse was exceptionally clean and beautiful, had everything a family or person could ever need, was superb in quality, with luxurious furnishing and materials. We were there with our 5 year old daughter, they even had a cabinet full of toys and books for her to play with, which was so thoughtful. Even if we would have been without a kid, we would have never even noticed these details. This exceptional StoneHouse villa is a perfect and luxurious get-away for everyone, and it’s worth every second of its price. It looks even better in real life. I am the type of person to never want to go back to the same place, but this villa makes me already want to plan another visit. This in combination with the amazing Yosemite National park and the town of Mariposa, is like a chefs kiss. Thank you for the amazing experience and help to all the people who were available 24/7 to help us out ❤️

The place was amazing! My family & I enjoyed it very much. There were many activities for children to do indoors and the adults enjoyed the treadmill. ☺️ there was ample space. We would love to go back. Everything was perfect.

We had such a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The backyard was incredibly clean, private, and perfect for relaxing—definitely one of our favorite parts of the property. The dog park was amazing and our little pup enjoyed a lot! The amenities were thoughtfully provided and covered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was also extremely responsive and helpful, which made the whole experience seamless. We especially loved spending evenings by the fire pit—it added such a cozy touch to our trip. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again!

This place is perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking for a private retreat. The house is spacious enough for a large group, with plenty of fun activities and games to enjoy. We had a fantastic stay and absolutely loved it here!
