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.

Everything

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.
