About this house rental
Our lovely one-level 1900+ sq. ft (180+ sq. m.) house was built in 2007 on the edge of the gated Pine Mountain Lake community. It is just 2.5 hours drive from San Francisco. In 2016 we remodeled and built 600 sq. ft deck for those who prefer sky over vaulted ceilings. All bedrooms are of equal size with master having balcony, and deep tub. Kitchen is spacious, there's WiFi and 55" TV. The lake has 3 swimming beaches & boat rental. Yosemite entrance is 25 miles away. Linens & towels are provided.
This is our gated community vacation house we sometimes visit. It is well equipped and furnished. Guests are provided with towels, linens, comforters, kitchenware, etc. You will find beds with mattresses of different firmness from firm to soft and good pillows. The kitchen is spacious and aside from typically expected, is equipped with rice cooker, toaster, and blender. Living room has a gas fireplace. Powerful central AC/air heater and 50-gallon water heater make your stay reliably pleasant :) Master bathroom has deep bathtub. There is a 60" TV with HDMI inputs and a media player into which you can plug a USB drive with common movie file formats like .mkv or .avi. You are welcome to bring your laptop or other source of video/movies. There's no cable TV service, but there is BlueRay/DVD player and some disks to pay. The Wifi internet is there but NOT for heavy internet activities like streaming. There's a patio table with 6 chairs outside on the deck and two hammocks. You are welcome to use propane grill. Backyard has fire-pit area with chairs.
The house is in a gated community with a golf course, seasonal heated swimming pool (May-October), the lake's three swimming beaches that get really warm to swim in summer, hiking trails near by, tennis courts, horse tables, and much more. We can advise on many possible day activities and places to go at different times of the year. Yosemite Park entrance is just 25 miles away, but there are many other attractions in proximity. Historical Gold Rush towns, multiple caves, Tuolumne river canyon, mountain lakes, white water rafting are just the first things that come to my mind. Wintertime, you can snowshoe and cross country, and downhill ski at Yosemite. Downhill skiing/snowboarding is possible with a little over an hour drive to either Dodge Ridge or Yosemite's Badger Pass ski resorts. For the little ones there are FREE "adventures" near by, like a 5min drive to airport to see airplanes take off and land, horse stables to touch a horse's nose, 3min drive to playground with a slide, swings, and sandbox, or feeding trout at Moccasin Creek Hatchery (think of it as your free aquarium, just 15min drive away :) Kids 5 and under ride free in Railtown 1897 steam train found in Jamestown, a 25 min drive away from our home. During summer youngsters enjoy around-the-lake water taxi rides. Seeing Milky Way behind countless stars on a moonless night is captivating. There's plenty to see and do for folks of all ages no matter the season!
We value your privacy. We are available to help you with advise via SMS, and might be able to arrange friends at Groveland or in person, lending you a hand if need be.
You are welcome to use our 3-burner propane grill with side warmer (we provide spare propane tank to make sure you don't run out of gas. Please inform us if one of the tanks becomes empty.)
Wintertime concrete driveway becomes icy - thus use stairs going alongside the driveway.
Wheelchair access is possible with help of two people to lift up wheelchair up 3 stairs (or with use of ramps) and to make sure wheelchair descent is safe down 18 degree driveway. Bathroom doors horizontal clearance is 26".
We oftentimes see more deer passing by, than cars on our street, and neighbors are very quiet.
IMPORTANT: The house is in a gated community which you can only enter though Pine Mountain Drive gated entrance with the address: 19228 Pine Mountain Dr, Groveland, CA 95321. If you disregard the above direction, be prepared to arrive at a closed unattended gate, as your GPS might guide you there!
There's space for 3 cars to park (please park on our gravel covered parking spaces looking downhill, NOT up. Driving uphill you can get stuck in gravel. Park downhill instead, and drive off downhill stress-free :)
The closest place to buy groceries is Mar-Val Food store in Groveland.

The house had everything in the kitchen that you may need to cook and so many board games and some toys for little ones. It had a keyboard and guitar too! We all had a great time during our stay. We went for a walk in the neighborhood, saw some deers and spent some time at the lake which is great for picnic and volleyball.

This is a very nice 3 bedroom place. Many deer frequent the area and some wild turkeys. Good communication.

Great stay near Yosemite
The location was perfect for our family. There were only 3 of us in our party (my 1 year old son, my husband, and I) but the house could easily accommodate 3 times that many. There was a large pack-n-play available with the house which made out stay so much easier. The house is clean, well stocked, and spacious in a quiet gated community. We had no trouble keeping the house at a comfortable temp with the a/c during the day and opening windows at night. Mike was even thoughtful enough to send us directions to the nearest playground (which was quite close by) for our son, which he absolutely enjoyed. We would happily stay here again the next time we come out to Yosemite.

Beautiful!
My family and I had a great time. Very spacious and a great location. Not too far from the park and in a very quiet and peaceful community.

The house is great! The rooms were large and well furnished, along with a lovely deck from which we saw deer daily visiting our yard - bucks, does, and baby fawns! We also saw wild turkeys, a little fox and ground squirrels. We swam in the clear lake, and rode the boat taxi around the lake. Beautiful! Michael, the owner was very helpful and accommodating in making our stay nearly perfect.

Lovely property in a very peaceful location
My husband, myself and our 12 year old daughter spent 6 lovely days at this property. It is in a secluded position on the PML gated community. The house is in a very quiet area, with only the turkeys and deer for company some days! It is very clean and has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. We were lucky enough to catch Yosemite just after it reopened following the Ferguson fire, so it was extremely quiet, and also really easy to get to. The Marina and beach at PML we’re great too, we also used the pool and restaurant and some of the other shops and restaurants in Groveland. We wouldn’t hesitate to revisit this property again or recommended to others. Mike, the owner, was really helpful with information prior to our stay. Would love to return in the winter!

This is a very nice home
We had plenty of room and the home is very clean. It is a safe and quite neighborhood. Our goal was to spend time in Yosemite but with the fires it was not possible. We instead stayed in the neighborhood and took advantage of the lake. The kids had a great time swimming at the local beach. We cooked out and enjoyed watching the deer and turkeys that came through the yard. My only negative response would be that the air conditioner could not keep up with heat of the day. This is explained in the manual when you arrive. Overall we had a very good experience.

Accommodating owner in a very nice location
We needed an affordable and comfortable place to lodge the band for our wedding near Yosemite. There are not a lot of options in the area, and we were very grateful to Michael for being willing to work with us to get the band into the lake community in the evening without us being there. It all went very smoothly. Thanks Michael!
Note: It is on the renter to pay $30 / vehicle parking at the property. I believe it is listed somewhere in the property description but didn't seem obvious so thought I'd mention!

We were very happy with the house, location, and community.
We are not a big TV watching family but we did miss having that available to us later in the evening when the kids were winding down, this was also a challenge due to the internet limitations. There was a DVD player and board games to play to help. The lake/beach was great. Very clean and well maintained house, with plenty of space and sleeping arrangements. I will definitely recommend this retreat for anyone looking for a nice quiet getaway.

Comfortable, lots of space
We were surprised how big the house was. Plenty of space and everything needed to stay in the area for a few days. I was also pleasantly surprised by the town of Groveland itself, very cute, nice tavern, all the supplies you could need.

Great home
We had a wonderful experience at this home in Pine Mountain Lake. The house has a massive kitchen and comfortable living space. The bedrooms were nice and we enjoyed some sunshine on the deck. The house is very clean and good for a getaway. It is a bit of a drive to Yosemite Valley - over an hour each way - but I preferred to stay in a house than in the park.
4.9
Perfect getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at this house. We had five adults and two kids in the house and plenty of space. Yosemite is a bit of a drive but well worth it. Neighborhood was quiet and had many places to explore including a creek. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Very nice house with everything we needed
My family and I loved our stay at this house. It had plenty of space for the 5 of us and we enjoyed relaxing there after our excursions each day. In April Yosemite Park was not too crowded, even on the weekends and this place made the perfect launching spot for our day trips. The house was clean, the kitchen was very nice with everything you needed to prepare food. We even found that many of the things we needed were already there such as salt and pepper, some condiments, etc. The deck was beautiful and my kids really enjoyed seeing deer and turkeys several times. We would definitely stay again. You get a lot of house for the price compared with hotels, etc.

Great house in Groveland
Spacious house that was very well kept and comfortable. Served us quite well as a launching point to Yosemite. Owner went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.
Should consider rolling vehicle fee into the rental cost. $30/car is kind of steep.
