Rare opportunity to own a turn-key, fully furnished hospitality business near the entrance to Yosemite National Park and just minutes from Bass Lake. Located in the charming Sierra mountain town of North Fork, the beloved Jackass Hostel is a cozy, character-filled lodging destination with a loyal following of outdoor adventurers and travelers. This cozy, character-filled property offers flexibility for a buyer to continue the established hospitality business or enjoy it as a charming mountain home or second home retreat in one of California’s premier outdoor destinations. Positioned approximately 27 miles from Yosemite’s southern entrance, the property serves as an ideal base for visitors exploring Yosemite, the Sierra National Forest, and those traveling between Yosemite and Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Guests are drawn to its relaxed, communal atmosphere, often described as a home away from home, with outdoor gathering areas, campfire space, tent camping, and a quiet auxiliary building for reading, relaxation or an art studio. The hostel comfortably sleeps approximately 14-18 guests and is being sold fully furnished, allowing the new owner to hit the ground running. The property is zoned commercial residential with two homes permitted per parcel, offering potential to add another residence or expand the hostel operation (buyer to verify). A short walk to downtown North Fork provides convenient access to local restaurants, cafés, and shops. A unique opportunity to own a distinctive lodging business in the heart of California’s Sierra adventure corridor.
