The Pine Rose Inn in Oakhurst is a nine-room inn run by Anita and Greg, located just ten miles south of Yosemite’s southern entrance and a mile from Bass Lake. If you’re planning a trip to the park with your dog, this is a straightforward option that won’t complicate your plans.

The inn welcomes dogs in select rooms, so you won’t need to worry about leaving your dog behind or paying for separate pet care while you’re out exploring. The location works well for accessing Yosemite’s south gate, and Bass Lake is close by if you want a different kind of day — the lake has several areas where dogs can swim and plenty of shoreline for walking. The Sierra Mountain region around Oakhurst offers plenty of trails and outdoor space, which matters when you’re traveling with a dog who needs regular exercise.

Anita and Greg run the place themselves, which generally means you’re dealing with actual owners rather than a chain operation. That kind of setup often translates to more flexibility if you have specific questions about what’s nearby or where dogs are welcome in the area.

The nine-room size keeps things quiet and manageable compared to larger hotels. You’re in the foothills here, so expect a peaceful setting rather than a bustling tourist scene. It’s practical accommodations for people who want to spend their days in Yosemite or exploring the lakes and trails around Oakhurst, with a comfortable place to return to at night.

This isn’t the kind of place marketed specifically for dogs, but they understand that people travel with them and have made the practical accommodation. It’s worth confirming which rooms are available for dogs and any other specific details about their setup when you’re planning your trip.
