Tollhouse (formerly, Toll House) is an unincorporated community in Fresno County, California. It lies at an elevation of 1919 feet (585 m). Tollhouse is located in the Sierra Nevada, 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Shaver Lake.
The town was created in the 1860s around a lumber mill. The name "tollhouse" comes from the fact that the community was also built up in connection to a now-defunct toll road running up the steep slopes of Sarver Peak to Pineridge and housed a toll house.
The ZIP Code is 93667, and the community is inside area code 559.
The first post office opened in Tollhouse in 1876, closed in 1884, re-opened in 1885. The last toll on the toll road was collected in 1878. Tollhouse is home to many small mountains.
