Nice property. Our group hiked half dome and liked being able to come back, relax in the den and soak in the hot tub.

Thank you so much for staying with us! We’re thrilled you chose our home as your base while hiking Half Dome — what an incredible adventure.
There’s nothing better than coming back after a full day in Yosemite to relax in the den and unwind in the hot tub under the stars. We’re so glad you were able to recharge, connect, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime together.
We’d love to host you again for your next mountain getaway! 🌲
House was great for kids! Host was super communicative. The outdoor space was really nice. Kitchen was very well stocked with tools. It is in the listing, but we aware that there is a fee per car to enter the community!

About the host
Hosted by Tracey Murnaghan
Hi! We’re Tracey, Roy, and our two teenage girls, and we’re so happy to welcome you to our Pine Mountain Lake home. Our daughters have grown up spending summers and holidays here, so we truly understand the joy of family fun time in the mountains. I’m originally from Ireland, and Roy is a born-and-raised Californian, and together we've created this home as a peaceful, comfortable retreat for friends and families, people who value quality time, fresh air, and a home that's loved and well cared for. We’ve been part of the Pine Mountain Lake community for decades, and although we live about 3.5 hours away, we come up often between stays to personally maintain the house and make sure everything is just right. We’re always just a call or message away if you need anything, and in case of emergencies, we have a great network of kind neighbors and trusted local professionals who can step in quickly.
During the summer, we’re often nearby and sometimes even available to greet you in person at check-in or check-out. If you're arriving late or when we're not around, no problem. Your unique front door code will be sent once your reservation is confirmed so that you can let yourself in anytime.
We genuinely want your stay to be relaxing and memorable. We care deeply about this home and the Pine Mountain Lake community, and we love welcoming guests who will enjoy and respect it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Why We Chose Pine Mountain Lake
We fell in love with Pine Mountain Lake because it offers the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty. After unwinding on the swinging bed or soaking in the hot tub, there's so much to explore. Our girls grew up enjoying the many playgrounds, the 18-hole championship golf course, tennis courts, pool, and the private lake with three sandy beaches—perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming.
Surrounded by forest trails, rivers, and wildlife like deer, quail, and squirrels, it truly feels like a serene escape in the Sierra. We're just 33 miles from Yosemite, making it the ideal home base for hiking, whitewater rafting, and day trips into the park.
We love how peaceful and family-friendly this community is, and we’re excited to share it with guests who want a mix of fun, nature, and relaxation. Pine Mountain Lake is a peaceful, remote mountain community, and occasionally there may be temporary outages of power, internet, or other utilities—especially if PG&E shuts off power during high fire danger. These events are out of our control, and we’re unable to provide compensation for any such interruptions.
We do, however, provide flashlights, lanterns, and games to make things more comfortable—and of course, there's always the beauty of nature to enjoy while things get sorted. Thanks for your understanding!
