Our family of 23 had an incredible time at the lake house. Being right on the lake with all of the "toys" provided made for such an incredible time! Thank you!!!

My family had a wonderful stay. The property can accommodate a large family and the private lake access allows for convenient family activities. The host is very helpful and responds quickly to inquiries. This location provided a convenient option for access to Yosemite. The entrance to Yosemite on Highway 120 from the residence at the Pine Mountain Lake location was about 1 hour and 15 minutes with mild traffic. My family did leave the residence by 7am on the days that we traveled to the Yosemite Valley area. I suspect traffic would be much worse at a later time in the day. The restaurants that we ate at (Two Guys Pizza, Iron Door and The Grill) were all very good. The grocery store was also convenient. Guests need to be aware of trash management at Pine Mountain as with a large group, it would be easy to exceed what is provided. My family did make a trip to the Moore Brothers center to buy the large trash bags that we required. We then had to deliver these bags to the dumpster at a different location.

We had a wonderful stay at the house! Along with the amazing view, the kitchen had everything we needed- even enough coffee cups for all of us! Outside, we paddle-boarded, kayaked, swam, played pickle-ball and golfed. Inside the house there was more than enough room for the family to play games, read and play pool all at the same time. You won’t be disappointed!

We had a staff retreat at this house for the small nonprofit that I run, and it was perfect. The deck was excellent for eating and hanging out, the kitchen was well-equipped. The lake access was super easy, the weather was perfect. And the folks who own this home also manage it for rentals, and they are very friendly, communicative and easy to reach.

We had a wonderful stay at this property and wished we could’ve stayed longer. The proximity to the lake was a real bonus and having use of paddle boards and kayaks was a huge hit with everyone. We enjoyed using the fire pit too and eating outside with views of the lake.

Beautiful lake house on a lovely lake from which Yosemite NP was easily accessible.

Bill and April were super hosts who offered their home for our family vacation. Very accessible by phone. The description and photos of the home were very accurate. Everyone loved being on the lake with a dock and using all of their inclusive water toys throughout the day and evening. Good security with $42/vehicle one time charge at the gate. We rotated preparing the dinners amongst the families and eating outside on the deck was great. Kitchen was fully stocked for serving our family's needs, electric stove. You may want to bring a griddle and ground coffee. The beds felt really good! Good AC. Very peaceful sitting outside on the deck at night and in the morning. We did see a bald eagle swooping down from next door's tree and bats at night. Plenty of geese everywhere on the Lake! On PML 's website had PDF with some funny stories $$ of how they have tried to get rid of the geese who do not seem to migrate anymore. Being across from the nearby Marina made it convenient to use one of the Lake's three beaches and snack bar. The free water taxi stopping at the 3 beaches provided a nice overview of the lake. The Groveland grocery store surprisedly had a wide variety of fresh foods, meats, etc at reasonable prices. In town the Pine Merchantile had a great ice cream shop. We ate at the Mexican restaurant twice and had a family dinner at PML's The Grill (good food) overlooking the golf course. One of the waitresses also has a bakery service that we ordered a nice Carrot cake for dinner. There is a gas station and car repair nearby that plugged one of my leaking tires. The west entrance to Yosemite is rather close( 30 min), shorter lines , and provides a really nice view descending into the valley. Would suggest going early around 7-8 am to avoid the crowds. We were fortunate in that even though the Washburn Fire was burning in the South entrance, Mariposa Grove, we had very little smoke at the Lake. The valley had some smoke but was clear, blue skies. It was not busy maybe because people had cancelled their vacations due to the fires. . Our son was lucky to have a lottery ticket to hike Half Dome with some friends. That was a real challenge for them ! Rainbow Pool located 15 min from the house is another fun place to jump off small cliffs into the water and swimming. Everyone loved our family vacation at the Luxury Lodge on the Pine Mountain Lake and would recommend it for families and groups.

Bill & April are caring and dedicated hosts. The lake house is exactly as the pictures indicate. Our multi-generation family thoroughly enjoyed the house, dock and amenities at the nearby marina. We used the canoes and kayak to transport infants as well as coolers for long days at the beach. The well equipped kitchen me the needs of each of our 5 families as we took turns preparing meals. We will return!
