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!

Good for guys getaway

This is a large cabin in a great location. Good for the guys getaway but would not recommend for families. Some furniture was broken some unstable and some with tears in the upholstery. Also most recreational equipment was broken or unstable. We did enjoy the pool table in the evening. Carpets were very stained. Once again a good place for a guys get

Great Location

Home was in an amazing location. The only negatives was no central AC system. It was very very hot during the day in the house, but most of the time we were at the lake anyways. We would love to stay again if available.

Launch for Half Dome Hike

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 location and comfy cabin!

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)!

Weekend at the cabin

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 by the lake, but in need of updates

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.

Cabin at Luring lake front

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!

Great lakeside location

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.

Can’t always trust a picture

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!

House had electrical issues when we arrived

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.
