History of Premier Bass Lake Resort with Modern Comfort

For decades, the natural allure of Bass Lake has captivated the creative minds of Hollywood. Since the 1930s, directors have chosen this picturesque setting as a backdrop for countless movies and TV shows. Its elevation and scenic vistas make it a perennial favorite among film crews, attracting productions ranging from auto commercials to action-packed dramas. Bass Lake, the prime location for outdoor filming, was featured in USA Today's "Top 10 places to lodge yourself in a movie." From the 1932 action-melodrama "Carnival Boat" to modern hits like "Mouse Hunt," Bass Lake's timeless charm continues to shine on the screen.
