The proximity to Yosemite and Bass Lake from Sky Ranch make the Red Door Cottage the perfect location for visiting both.
The living room features open beam ceilings and a stone fireplace. Off the dining room is a private deck overlooking the backyard and wooded views. A well appointed kitchen includes a blender, a programmable coffee maker, dishwasher and utensils.
Special attention is given to guest comfort. Each bedroom has a king size memory foam bed with luxury bedding, down pillows and alternative filled pillows. The bedrooms and bathroom have individually controlled heaters. The bathroom has a shower/bathtub combination, hand soaps, toilet paper and fresh towels. From the back deck you can look over the fenced yard. In the back of the property is a barn and meadow where you can walk around and stretch your legs. For the more active hikers, Fresno Dome is just up the road from the cottage and has spectacular views, hiking and fishing.

Due to that factor, people with compromised immune systems, infants or the elderly could be a risk. For this reason boil the tap water before drinking.
