Things to do: Our chalet is in a gated community with a golf course, seasonal heated swimming pool (May-October), the lake's three swimming beaches that get really warm to swim in summer, hiking trails near by, tennis courts, and much more. I can advise on many possible day activities and places to go at different times of the year. Yosemite Park entrance is just 25 miles away, but there are many other attractions in the vicinity. Historical Gold Rush towns, multiple caves, Tuolumne river canyon, mountain lakes, white water rafting are just the first things that come to my mind. Wintertime, you can snowshoe and cross country ski at Yosemite. Downhill skiing/snowboarding is possible with a little over an hour drive to either Dodge Ridge or Yosemite's Badger Pass ski resorts. For the little ones there are FREE "adventures" near by, like a 5min drive to airport to see airplanes take off and land, horse stables to touch a horse's nose, 3min drive to playground with a slide, swings, and sandbox, or feeding trout at Moccasin Creek Hatchery (think of it as your free aquarium, just 15min drive away :) Kids 5 and under ride free in Railtown 1897 steam train found in Jamestown, a 25 min drive away from our home. During summer youngsters enjoy around-the-lake water taxi rides. Seeing Milky Way behind countless stars on a moonless night is captivating. There's plenty to see and do for folks of all ages no matter the season!

We had a great stay here with our family of 6. The place was very clean and nice and quiet. Check-in was easy and we enjoyed seeing the deer and turkeys roaming around. Our hosts had excellent communication and ideas of things to do.
Great location. True to reviews it was a great night of rest. Beds were comfy. It was clean for the most part. All the cooking utensils we needed were there. The washing machine smelled a bit and there were cobwebs in some corners of the house. It also was pretty dusty, especially if the ceiling fans were on. Overall, it was great for our needs.
My friends and I stayed in Groveland for a relaxing retreat and had a great time. Lots of fun things to do in the area and beautiful views. Hosts were great at communication and extremely helpful.
Restful and peaceful stay. Well stocked amenities, quiet location. We stayed 7 nights while touring surrounding area. Everything worked well in this lovely home. I would recommend you stay here.
Nice and clean, exactly as pictured and advertised. The kitchen was much better stocked than I expected, including good sharp knives! We all slept well and enjoyed our stay!
Thank you so much, we enjoyed staying at your cabin at Pine Mountain Lake. Everything was nice and clean and the beds were very comfortable. Check in and out was easy and convenient. Would recommend this to anyone. We would have liked to use the barbecue on the back deck, but the weather did not cooperate.
Enjoyed our visit. Problem with water heater but owner is addressing it.

Why they chose this property
Most of the properties in our area are located at a steep slope, which means that parking might involve scraping your car's bumpers, or that driveway is too steep. Also houses built on a slope usually are multi-story and have dangerous stairs. Our house is one level. There is plenty of parking by our house and you don't ever have to drive in reverse. Some houses don't have AC, our house got central cooling system!
What makes this property unique
We have a wood burning fireplace. There is front and rear deck. Central heating and cooling system. Our water heaters are such that you never run out of hot water as opposed to other houses where only one person can take hot shower at each given hour as most tank water heaters are weak.
