Close to cross-country skiing, hiking and biking trails, and more, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Pine Mountain Lake is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make the 20-minute drive to Stanislaus National Forest.

Relax by the communal pool or sip a drink by the outdoor tennis court of this vacation home, which also features a BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and cable/satellite TV.

No need to pay for a restaurant every night, when you've got an oven and a refrigerator on hand, as well as a coffee maker and a toaster. And you can even pack a bit lighter because there's a washer and dryer.
