About this house rental
Rustic Lakefront Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Perched mere steps from the clear water of Pine Mountain Lake, this family-oriented retreat offers plenty of room for larger groups to enjoy and sits in the heart of all the best attractions. After a full day on the lake or golfing nearby, the fully equipped kitchen will come in handy for whipping up tasty meals and everyone will fall in love with the unique layout of the home that seamlessly connects each room to create an airy and open floorplan. Don't worry about the fun stopping when you return to home base each evening, as a glass of wine can easily be enjoyed on one of the two decks and the kids will have limitless options for fun with a pool table and the garage that has been made into a game room complete with ping-pong, foosball, and air hockey!
When it is time to hit the hay each night, the lower floor is home to two bedrooms, one with a twin-over-double bunk bed and the other offering a full-size bed. The main floor boasts a spacious main bedroom complete with a queen-size bed. The upper floor contains the last two bedrooms, one with a full bed and the other with two twins!
Though there will be endless fun to be had right at your fingertips, heading out to Pine Mountain Lake for some fishing, swimming, and hiking will be a treat for the whole family to enjoy. When you want to venture out a bit further, the north entrance of Yosemite Valley awaits just 23 miles from your front door, making the tall walls of El Capitan and Half Dome a must-see on this vacation! Plus, the heart of Groveland is also four miles away offering a plethora of restaurants and local grocery stores to grab a bite to eat or stock up on necessities!

We stayed with our kids, grandkids and two dogs to be closer to our planned Half Dome hike. It was a long drive at 3am but worked out reasonably well. There was not traffic on the way in.
The location is perfect, just up from the swimming beach and has nice views of the lake. It is in need of remodeling as the carpet has wear and stains and the kitchen and bathrooms were past their prime.
Worked out well for us as the original rental was canceled due to last minute damage so for such a large group with dogs we didn't have a lot of options.

Amazing cabin, tons of space and activities. Love the location close to the beach and easy water taxi to the marina. LOVE that everything isn’t all fancy and new and can just relax in a comfortable place. Will be back (hopefully)!

Ideal location! The home is dated, get ready for a throwback to the ‘80s, but acceptable due to the location.

The cabin was freezing when we first arrived.Took a while to figure out how to heat up the main level. The downstairs level doesn’t have a thermostat, only space heaters. The game room everything is broken. The pool sticks were all busted couldn’t even play. The ping pong table in the garage the net was broken couldn’t play that either. There was no board games to play. Everything they had was just thrown in the cabinets like mixed game pieces everywhere and a bunch of vhs tapes and cassettes. We had an electricity issue. The plugs on the lower level didn’t work. Couldn’t plug in the fireplace it wouldn’t come on. The light switches in that bottom bedroom and the bathroom went out. So at night we had to use our phone flashlights for light. Overall it’s was a great location right on the lake. But it really needs some cleaning and updating. As well as new linens and beds. Omg those bed mattresses were hard as rocks. Unfortunately I will not recommend this cabin to a friend.

Great location for a cabin getaway. Enjoyed walking down to the nearby beach and playground. Luckily weather cooperated with us for late February.
Only negative was some of the amenities pictured were in dire need of repair. Just as an example, almost all the pool sticks were broken.
At the end of the day, we all had fun regardless.

It was a great 3 days staying in your Cabin. It was huge for just the 4 of us. My parents had a great time in the cabin and walking around the lake front and around the area. It’s very convenient as Yosemite National Park was closeby. We all had an awesome time.
Looking forward to coming back to Pine mountain lake again in the future.
Thank you!

Wonderful location on a beautiful and serene lake. Our extended family had a relaxing time at the cabin and look forward to returning to the lake again! The cabin is in need of updating but its location was worth it.

The home was spacious. We had fun with the pool table.
That being said, we were supposed to check in at 4, but the house was still not quite ready by 4:30. The house was not cleaned well, we found clothes and undergarments in closets. Also dishes were dirty and we had to hand wash anything before use. The dishwasher was filthy on the inside. The dryer was not working (and we were not informed beforehand) so we had soggy clothes from our day at the snow, with no way to dry them. Water was coming in through the floors downstairs and the carpets were wet. We brought this to the attention of the person who reached out to check how things were and all we got back was “would you like fresh linens?”
Also, trying to get in through the front door without getting soaked by the waterfall by the steps was another fun challenge!

Very nice home with beach access. Trouble with the heat was challenging…as the first night was freezing. However Vacasa staff was superb and took care of everything quickly! ❤️🥰

Location was perfect, the only down fall was both refrigerators didn’t work. We had to put our food in the freezer.

We arrived and the kitchen fridge and various outlets weren’t working. This was the first night. Second night we loss complete power. Lights would turn on and then suddenly turn off. Breakers weren’t tripped. Then my daughter was complaining about the shower hurting. I originally thought it was just the pressure of the spray. Then my wife and sister both said they felt a tingle/shock when they touched the water. Immediately called prop manager to send an electrician. So we spent the second night totally in the dark with no electricity and avoided using the water. Next morning an electrician arrived and concluded that there was voltage in the water and pge was needed to survey the electrical problems. So my vacation that I had planned for over 8 months was cut short. Short story, we ended up having to vacate the premises due to unsafe living conditions. I understand that older homes will have problems. But I think this one could’ve been avoided had a thorough check of the house been conducted prior to our arrival. Took time off work to plan this vacation, had family flown in , money spent on food and drinks for our 5day trip. All went to waste due to faulty electrical wiring.

The location was excellent!
The property was just old and shabby enough that we didn’t over worry about the kids playing too hard. They loved the lake, stuffed animals and games.

The description was accurate. It's right in front of the lake and play area. House had everything as listed in the listing. The pool table was a hit for our group. We had some issues with the heater but the maintenance team came up and delivered extra heaters as well.

Good place for a large group
But fittings are really old. Property managers were very helpful with providing extra room heaters and blankets as it was really cold in the basement . One of the kitchen cupboard doors was broken and the bathroom light in the basement was not working .

This home was very spacious & the location was perfect. Right in front of the beach. Waterfront! It is perfect for families. It was so nice to be able to just run back up to the cabin from the beach for lunch, naps and the bathroom. The only downside to this cabin is that it’s old and was a little dirty. Although everything worked. Thank you & we would stay here again!

Safety Issues -
Broken picture frame with exposed glass
Broken window
Non Safety issues -
TV cable did not work on main level
No TV on lower floor where all of the DVDs are
House not cleaned - hair in bathroom, kitchen dirty, stains all over the house, etc
Couch on lower floor broken
Chairs on main floor broken
Railing had exposed nails
AC unit filters filthy, cleaned ourselves in order to get AC working
Door handle on lower floor in kids room almost falling off, we repaired ourselves
Fluorescent kitchen light doesn't work
no kitchen garbage can
BBQ left dirty
Broken toilet paper holder on top floor
Missing toilet paper holder on bottom floor
Ripped felt on pool table
Pool cues all damaged
Broken lamp shades on main floor
Broken electrical outlet plates all through the house
Rug pulling up from bottom floor bathroom
Blinds messed up in every room
During our vacation, we have had to replace the lights in the kitchen, the lights in the dining area, fixed the door knobs in the kids room, fixed the sliding glass doors, cleaned the filters in both AC units as well as the swamp cooler, we tried to clean the dining table but ended up putting a table cloth down since it is beyond cleaning.
For the money that was spent on this rental, I feel we did not get what was advertised nor what we paid for. We have been coming to PML for decades and have been at this house more than 5 times. It seems that in the last 20+ years not a penny has been spent to replace/repair anything that has been damaged by the renters and it shows. We had fond memories of this house and PML in general. Unsure we will ever com e back or use Vacasa ever again due to this experience.

We opened the door to a house full of spider webs, with extremely stained carpets and strong mold smell on the bottom floor. Most furnitures are broken. Big disappointment.
