The Pines Resort
The Pines Resort is a resort hotel on the edge of Bass Lake in the Sierra Nevada, with cozy cabins and lakefront suites. The simple buildings fit naturally into the surroundings and offer views of the clear water and dense forests.
The resort was founded in the 1930s and gradually grew, becoming well-known in the region by the late 1970s. Over the decades, renovations have maintained its timeless appearance and traditional character.
The name refers to the pine forests that surround and define the landscape of the property. Visitors use the lake and trails for walking and exploring, while local habits include early mornings on the water and relaxing evenings by the fire.
The resort has a full-service marina where visitors can rent boats, jet skis, and paddleboards for easy lake access. Additionally, there is a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, and hiking trails that are easily accessible from the grounds.
Bass Lake has attracted film productions for decades, with recordings of films like 1932 Carnival Boat and recent titles like Mouse Hunt using the lake's natural backdrop. The resort has experience hosting film crews and actors, offering affordable rates for production teams using the outdoor location.
