Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
This chalet-style vacation home is located a short distance from the lake and surrounded by lots of trees - it's like being in a treehouse! During your stay, you'll have access to this gated community's shared pool, three beaches, country club, and golf course. This two-bedroom, two-bath home is very appealing for adults and children with lots to explore in the surrounding area. Entertainment amenities include a Smart TV, cable TV, a CD player, DVD player, games, and internet access. Plus, you can bring your lovely dog with you!
WHAT’S NEARBY
You'll be about 26 miles from Yosemite National Park for a memorable day trip for the whole family. Historic Groveland is a 1800s gold town where some of the original buildings are still standing. The Oldest Saloon in California is located on Hwy 120, not too far away.

Its a nice place to stay. 2 mins drive to the lake/kayak place. It would be more wonderful if we can use their Jacuzzi.

The house had some older, used furniture but one does not expect the Waldorf Astoria when using someones home. I liked the lived in look. We were very comfortable during our 6 day stay. The stairs were an unexpected challenge to us..especially since I was told the only stairs I would contend with were the ones leading up into the loft. We wouldn't be using the loft which was for the kids. I can't praise the handyman, Richard and the cleaning lady, Kelcie enough. Both went above & beyond their duties to make our stay a pleasant one.

This was a last minute trip on our way to spend Thanksgiving with family. The property is a cozy older home, but clean with comfy beds, and perfect spot near Yosemite. It’s about 30 minutes to the gate and 1 hour from the Valley, but ann easy drive.
Our family of 4, including 2 teenagers, loved our stay. We had plenty of room with 2 bedrooms downstairs, a huge loft space, and 2 bathrooms.
Groveland is a cute town. Mar Vals was a great grocery store where we were to get everything we needed. We had dinner at the Iron Door Saloon and Two Pies Pizza Guys, and grabbed coffee and pastries at Top of the Trail Tea and Coffee. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was great, we weren’t there much and didn’t use most of the amenities. There was a partial lake view though. We used it as a spot to go to Yosemite for a few days. Great location close to town. The beds and pillows were all pretty hard and not comfortable.

This place was nice for our family. Lots of beds to pick from. Microwave was broken but all other appliances were working. We had a great time here.

Things weren’t great. We had no power due to a power outage for three days. Which isn’t really on the property because they can’t control that, but there was no response from the local manager listed on the email at all. We asked if a generator was available from Vacasa- there wasn’t. We lost all of our food for the week (which was a lot because we were meeting up with another family of 6 near by so we had food enough to feed a small army) as the fridge defrosted and caused a huge mess.
There were spiderwebs around and oddly enough tiny dead bugs on the ceiling in the bathroom downstairs. At least one of the stools were broken at the kitchen counter.
Oh, my kid picked up a carpet tack he found on the stairs. So praise the Lord that didn’t wind up in one of my kids feet since they were sleeping upstairs.
There’s also critters in the wall/ceiling. Which, I get it, it’s in the forest. Critters happen. But the culmination of the week made us check out two days early. Hearing a critter chew and scratch somewhere near my head all night was enough to call it quits on our vacation.

Property was definitely “cozy”, but worked for our family of 5.

The place was excellent, in a beautiful location with lots of space and everything you could ever need in the kitchen. The lake was beautiful for awimming after a day of hiking, 10/10

A little small place but good enough for my four children and I.
Has everything i need, enough beds, kitchen utencils, 2x2 i mean two bed two baths.
Heater works perfect.
Enough cleaning supply.
3.9
It’s pretty big and close to the lake and I’m amazed that there is no bugs. I appreciated the towels and the laundry detergent. The water pressure is amazing.
Some things I’d like to see fixed:
The lock on the sliding glass door is broken so it can’t be locked. That makes me a little nervous.
The Internet is slow. If it were fast I could come up there during the week and work from lake.
It bugged me to have to pay $42 to get into the community. I wish that were just included in the price. Like charge $42 more so the price is transparent and I wouldn’t mind.
Non-owners can’t park in the parking lot by the lake. OK so I’m paying $1000 for the weekend but I’m not an investor so I’ve got a park in a ditch. Think about that.

The house is like going back to the 60. Great space for family and close to the lake. The kitchen dishes were filthy the terrace table and grill had dirty utensils and had stuck food drink spills and the fridge was leaking....when I called casa they took my complaint and I am still waiting for a response. The fridge ruin my bread and I had to scrub every pot plate fork cup etc we used during the trip. And clean the outside tables and grill. They could have sent someone to do it or at least pay me back to do it for them.

Good location, close to the lake. Partial lake view. Lots of sleeping room, big kitchen. Great air conditioning!

The place was clean and cozy. Views of the lake from the deck and quiet. Neighborhood is friendly and town is super nostalgic! 30 min to Yosemite and trails galore! Will be back for sure. Thank you!

We had never seen a vacation home like this.
Almost a month ago, we went to big bear and stayed in a cozy and resoanably clean chalet almost with the same size and price range.
But this one was dirty and far from cleanness.
Dirty awful Chalet, you'll see spider's web and dust all around at the corners.
Linens, pillows and bath towels are dirty as well.
Kitchen appliances are too old and some of them are broken.
Wi-Fi network doesn't work. Better to say, it doesn't even exist. Vacasa sent us Wi-Fi network info through email but there was no network with that name at all. We even tried to connect to other network poped up but that was just waste of time. Nothing!
If there was a grade below 1 star I would select that one for sure.
Definitely, a complete renovation is what this chalet requires not future guests.
The location of this chalet is the only positive point of it.
3.9
Not a place I would ever rent again. Needs major cleaning and a new sofa. Stayed one night and then requested a relocation. Furniture old, linens old, cobwebs, even on the hot tub cover. When was it cleaned last? Not a happy place.
3.9
Cabin is dated but location cannot be beat. Had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. We ate on the deck every day. Beautiful view.

Everything was just perfect.

I really enjoyed sitting outside listening to nature while working out of town. The serenity is what was so meaningful, the location was beautiful. The home was clean and quiet neighbors. There was a lot sitting areas however I really can't say enough about the patio.
3.9
The location of this house was great, but the house itself was out of date, horrible beds, dirty dishes in the cupboards and lacking basics for guests. Could be such an amazing vacation rental if money was put into upkeep.

I'd give this house 3.5/4 stars. It was a nice house, but when we got to the front door there was a garbage bag from the cleaning person and there was old milk and butter in the fridge. We tried to use the grill, but couldn't get it to work. I would stay here again as it was what I expected, quiet and comfortable, the beds are a little hard, but I didn't mind too much. FYI, you can't park at the beach with the food shack as a renter Fri - Sun
Overall, I was pleased with my stay and would stay again.

Wife and I spent our 7th anniversary there for 4 nights. Enjoyed the quiet and the proximity to the beach and dock. Well worth it.

The place is a bit dated but we could look pass that if it were adequately maintained. Overflowed trash cans found on arrival, broken appliances and furnitures, trash and beer bottle found on couch, bed bugs. And we weren't made aware of tons of restrictions that HOA imposes on vacation renters. Disappointed.

The property location is excellent with a view on the lake. Pictures are accurate. All appliances were functioning properly. However our stay was spoiled due to dirty and greasy dishes, cups, utensils and pretty much everything else in the kitchen. That was a huge disappointment. We are not going to rent this place ever again.

Do yourself a favor and don't stay here. We found cockroaches, rat poop, bags of dog poop all over the driveway, a broken bed, and overall filth. This was our first VRBO experience and it was beyond gross. Im not a picky person, but this place was simply nasty.
The property manager contacted me after we got home and we got refunded the cleaning fee. They were very apologetic, but it was shameful that they would even attempt to rent this place out.
Don't stay here.
