Settle in for a wonderful time at the lake in this family cabin! Set up like the old-school cabins of your childhood, this winning home is set back from the road and sheltered by oak trees that lend a sense of privacy. There are plenty of areas for the entire group to hang out together - including the back deck with a wonderful view of Pine Mountain Lake and the surrounding peaks! But if you're already coming off a long day of fun, just light a fire in the wood stove and pull out a board game to enjoy in the living room. The large and fully equipped full kitchen has all the tools guests need to cook up delicious vacation meals. Enjoy them in the dining room, out on the deck, or out on this home's private beach. The private washer/dryer will take care of swimsuits and clothes from the day while everyone relaxes. Bedrooms are spread out across two floors, so everyone has room of their own. Enjoy a haven by the lake in this cabin, with lots of room to make memories.

WHAT’S NEARBY
If you're planning to visit during Independence Day, you're in for a great view of the fireworks at this cabin! Guests will be able to swim within thirty feet of the shoreline during their stay. The three beaches in the area are Dunn Court (which this home borders), Lake Lodge, and the Marina. Rainbow Pool, 16 miles away, offers a different way to enjoy the beautiful nature of the area. For guests wanting more of a trek into the wilderness, Yosemite National Park is just 26 miles from the cabin!

Would have been even better if there was a canoe or kayak that we could use. A tv that we could connect to our cell phone would be nice.

Perfect summer getaway

This is our second stay at this house. We love its location and most importantly love having a private beach with very shallow water entrance. We stayed with our 6 yo son so it was very important for us. House is very comfortable, but there’s no AC in the two small bedrooms on the first floor, so it gets hot! Only upstairs bedroom and living room have AC. While we were able to cool down the bedrooms with the fans, it was still very warm at night (daytime temps were 96-107). Overall it’s a great house, especially if you travel with kids. Beds are very comfortable , kitchen is well stocked. Wi-fi was working well. There’s now an electric grill on the deck - which we loved! We look forward to coming back next year :)

Inadequate Cooling System

If you decide to stay in this unit during hot Summer months, think twice. We have just returned from our weekend stay there and with temperatures soaring over 103°F, our experience was far from pleasant. Having only two small AC units for the entire house, with no relief in the downstairs bedrooms, kitchen, and the bathroom, significantly affected our stay and sleep. The smaller bedrooms were simply unbearable for sleeping at night. Despite its wonderful location, private beach, views, and large deck, it’s challenging to fully savor benefits of amenities when the house falls short in accommodating basic comfort/cooling needs. After our experience, everyone in my party made a common decision never to return to this house during the summer months.

Great house/location

This is a wonderful place for families with children looking to have a private sandy beach access. Beach needed a good cleaning from months worth of geese poop, but it you’re willing to do that (or just rent the place right after us:)) you will not regret it. There aren’t many places on PML with shallow sandy water access…. Also, house sits on a large lot with lots of trees providing shade and privacy. House is very well equipped. Be aware that two downstairs bedrooms don’t have AC, so they get a bit hot during the day (we stayed there in August and had two 95F days), but cool off at night with the help of fans. Living room and upstairs MB have AC. The house is old, but well kept and clean. We’re already planning our next stay there!

Location, location, location

This place is all about location. The setting is beautiful, the yard is large, the beach is private, and the deck is a perfect place to hang out. This was our second stop in our adventure through the CA national parks. The upper entrance to Yosemite was closed so had to go a couple hours out of our way to get to Yosemite valley. However, exploring and hiking the Hetch Hetchy reservoir was awesome. The place is a bit dated but the location makes up for that. We had deer walk and graze through the yard, geese with their little ones, birds, and bats. One of our favorite stays during our tour. Recommended! Shout out to the host, Vacasa. They responded immediately to minor issues that turned out to be our misunderstanding. We had great communication with Vacasa throughout our several rentals.

Great location, comfortable beds, good enough kitchen and furniture. Definitely deferred maintenance

The location is amazing. The AC is pretty good. (It gets hot in Groveland!) The home is aged and they aren't investing in upkeep. The tv HDMi ports don't recognize the dvd player or our plug-in games. We couldn't get movies to play. Tv seems glitchy. Had to restart a couple times. (TVs are cheap nowdays, why not upgrade?) Internet is mountain internet. Don't come to PML area expecting to Zoom or stream The location ... Is ... Amazing. The house is It's a roof over your head. Watch your step on the deck or you'll get major splinters. The flourescent light in the kitchen doesn't work. There are screws holding down the carpet in places that can catch your toe. (Back door) And there's like a big nail or something sticking up out of the floorboards right in front of the couch. Again.. I don't think anybody's trying to take care of this place it's just old house with an amazing location. It's not a Cook's kitchen, but there's enough utensils and pots pans plates whatever to get you by. There's a good grocery store 5 minutes away. And decent pizza and burgers. There's also a decent restaurant at the golf course. The two bathrooms are totally adequate. The beds are comfortable. It's a great base camp for playing in the mountains! When you rent here you cannot bring your own paddle boards or kayaks. They've got an owner's only rule. Also beware of the main Beach Marina on the weekends doesn't allow guests to park in the parking lot. You got to walk in. (The main Beach and Marina has awesome ice cream and French fries and burgers etc. And you can rent paddle boats and kayaks etc) No dogs at the beach. Good bicycle riding on the roads in the area. Steep. No bike lane. But low traffic. (For the avid cyclist especially) The dirt road to Lumsden Bridge (map it) is a fun drive (no 4x4 needed, but rough in spots) and it will take you 5 mi down into the most severe looking canyon, to see the tuolumne River in a place few people go. If you're in the trout fishing, this is a good access point. Be sure to check out the restrictions for Access into Yosemite in the summer. Sometimes there are reservations required just to enter the park. Know before you go! (We love to go down to evergreen Lodge and Hetch Hetchy reservoir for an excursion and lunch/dinner at least once a summer. About an hour away)

Great location

If you don't mind things being a little outdated, this place is awesome. It is comfortable and cozy. A little dusty and a few cobwebs, but easily taken care of. The location is great with its own beach area/large lot, and close to the community beach and dock. The only thing it is missing is a kayak/paddle boat (since you can't use your own). You can rent them but it's nice to have them come with the house so you can use in the morning or evening and not just for an hour or two during the day. Some nicer/more comfortable outdoor chairs and tables on the deck would be great too, but not a deal breaker. One thing to note is that you can't check in at the PML community gate until 4pm either. All in all we had a good time and enjoyed the house. We would visit again.

Awesome

Lake front place, we were amazed of the views. It's very easy to go swimming or fishing right from the house. Nearby to Yosemite park. Easy commute to the groceries store. That was great place to make some memories. p.s. only one thing was not too much convenient for us - 10 am check out time... I wish it would be 12 pm.

Awesome location compensates for okay house

Pros: Location! Spacious deck facing the main marina. Private beach (half sandy) Well stocked kitchen Charcoal and electric grills available Plenty of parking Cons Poor cleaning, lots of dust, spider web, kitchen kettles often dirty. Poor AC. No Central ac, only two separate units downstairs and upstairs that take a long time to cool down the house. Geeses on the beach during day time result in dirty beach. Canoe on the pictures is not available. Electricity went out twice (overnight) causing food in fridge to unfreeze/go bad - that affected most of the lake though

Funky old mountain cabin with a private beach

My husband and I stayed here with our two toddlers (3 & 1.5). We couldn't have asked for a better spot for young kids. The cabin is absolutely old and funky which was great for not having to worry about the kids ruining anything. It sits on a big shades property full of oak trees that deer loved to roam. And the beach was sandy and shallow, perfect small kids. However, we were there during a particularly hot week and the downstairs bedrooms had no ac or fans, it was a little tough putting the kids down in 85-90 degree rooms. The only issue with the house. Also, even though we booked a month out the front gate at Pine Mountain Lake had not been given out info by Vacasa and we weren't allowed to enter. It happened to be the regional managers day off she didn't answer her phone, which was the number PML gave us. We had to call Vacasa twice before someone knew how to help us. After being on hold for over 20 minutes with one representative we called again from my husbands phone so we could talk to someone else. Finally, over half an hour later, after being stuck in 100+ heat with two small children after a 4 hour car ride we found someone who could resolve the issue. Our biggest issue of the whole trip was with Vacasa's dropping the ball during our check-in.

Perfect location, dated interior

We will absolutely return. This is the best spot on the lake- next to a lovely sandy beach but with your own lakefront view. The beds were comfortable and quiet, as were the upstairs floors (stairs creak but not that disturbed our 3 year old sleeping with a sound maker.) The kitchen was well stocked. Layout of the house was perfect for our needs. Heater and AC worked beautifully up and downstairs. Our only complaint was that the cabin was straight out of the 1960’s. We don’t mind the rustic vibe but everything was super dusty. If you pat the couch, a cloud of dust rose up. There was also dust on surfaces that should have been cleaned prior to arrival (bottom of end tables, kitchen). The living room chair had dust bunnies all over it we had to pick off. Once we gave it our own cleaning, we really enjoyed ourselves (and stopped sneezing). I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful the cabin was and how much we’d like to return. Also, we didn’t find it noisy at all- seemed to be contained at the beach next door and was largely out of earshot. Beach was virtually empty each morning and evening which was great for us!

Oldie but goodie

Spent a few days here with my mom and sister for some peace and quiet time after the death of my father in January. It was the perfect location. Well stocked kitchen, clean, comfortable beds. Good WiFi. Enjoyed eating on the deck overlooking the lake watching the geese and deer. Would rent again.
