Excellent natural hot springs with several pools of varying temperatures. Spectacular views, we recommend checking them out at sunrise (being an early bird has its perks). Only 4 miles from our place!

Beautiful lakes with great fishing in the summer and breathtaking scenery any season. Excellent hiking and views, awesome back-country skiing or snowshoeing in the winter. Great for a nice stroll around the lake and lunch in the spring and summer. Make sure to bring camera!

Beautiful views of the Sawtooth and Sweetwater mountain ranges. Great for fishing, boating, and kayaking in the summer season (there's a marina a half a mile from our place, open April through October), and as a jumping off point to many sights, hikes and gorgeous outdoors, year round and all within a short drive!

We're 40 min drive to the eastern entrance of Yosemite (Tioga pass) and about 2.5 hours drive to the Valley via hwy 120. Please note that the mountain passes are closed in the winter and typically reopen at some point in May or later, depending on the snow pack. We love the east side of the park - Tuolumne Meadows, Tioga pass and Saddlebag lake area are hidden gems and our faves!

A must do when visiting this area - a great ghost town. Very unique and real experience. Not a tourist trap, rather a step back in time.

Food scene

This is the place to go if you are looking for a quick great bite to eat. We love their breakfast croissant sandwiches and fish tacos. The service is always welcoming and the food is outstanding and reasonably priced.

Excellent fine dining experience in beautiful setting and totally worth the 25 min drive from Bridgeport. We like to come here for any special occasion or when we want to treat ourselves to some delicious food and wine.

Hawaiian Food Truck with fun and eclectic specials parked in front of June Lake Brewery. Delicious and really exciting selection of lunch options that will go well with beer tasting at the Brewery or can be ordered to take away. Quite generous yet reasonably priced portions. Definitely worth the drive!
