About Us
Personal and Professional
Tom Tuso: I've been a resident for 44 years, and have worked at almost every job available in Bass Lake, from Bartending and Waiting tables at Old Ducey's, Bartending at the Pines Bar, to construction of Old Ducey's dance room, to management at new Ducey's. I graduated Fresno State University with a BA in Advertising and Marketing. I am married to Tammy with two children. My wife and I started Bass Lake Boat Rentals in 1996. All of our family participates at the Marina and The Marina Bar and Grill. Best way to describe me..."I'm all business".​
​
Daytona Sabelhaus: I’ve called this amazing community home my whole life! As a kid, I juggled helping out in the family business with playing travel soccer every chance I got. I went to Yosemite High School, played Varsity Soccer, and after graduating, headed off to Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina on a soccer scholarship. There, I earned my degree in Marketing—and a whole lot of great memories. After college, I came back to beautiful Bass Lake to dive back into the family business with my husband, Benjamin. These days, we’re raising our sweet and spunky two-year-old daughter, Fiona, and dreaming about adding a few more little adventurers to the crew.

Benjamin Sabelhaus: I grew up in Ohio, where I spent most of my time on the lacrosse field. After high school, I took my game to Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina on a lacrosse scholarship and earned a BA in Business Management with a Minor in Marketing. College was a great time—and it’s where I met my wife, Daytona. We got married not long after graduation in beautiful Yosemite, CA. Now we’re living and working in the area we love, and spending our days chasing around our wild and wonderful two-year-old daughter, Fiona Rose.
Our Ideology
Simply put, We believe that exceptional customer service for the guest(s) and the homeowner will lead to financial gain. Our family owns and operate multiple businesses within the area such as Bass Lake Boat Rentals, Marina Bar & Grill, Bass Lake Mini Storage, & Bass Lake BnB. While we are locals, we have traveled all over the country to experience the different wants and needs of tourists everywhere. When we vacation we try to understand what a guest may experience and bring this understanding to our management. We pride ourselves and our employees on our customer service skills, something that seems to be lacking in many of today's industries. We will treat your property like it's our own. We are not here to 'make a quick buck, and we don't want just any guest to stay in your home; we want the right guest. We are looking for guests that appreciate what your home has to offer, but also respect your home and its rules. Let's say the cleaners came & cleaned your home after a guests stay & it wasn't cleaned to our standards. After our inspection; we will re-clean your home ourselves and not charge you another pesky cleaning fee. Every day during summer rental season many of us are always on-site and available to meet your guests, or you, at the drop of a hat (in the off season, one of us is typically still onsite every day). Nothing can be more frustrating than only being able to communicate with your management company or host via text or email. We are here for you and your guest 24/7 .
