The good, bad, and ugly. My comments are based on the cost vs. value exchange. First Pine Mountain Lake is the hidden gem very few know about. The location on the water is good and in a private cove. The assortment of games/ ping pong/pool provides good entertainment. The kitchen had all the tools and even supplied propane. The bad is we may have been the first rental of the season, and we had to replace 4 light bulbs (the lights in the living room and kitchen are inadequate) the GFI reset in the garage (once you found it) did not work, the grill was dirty, and the large deck (recently upgraded!) and furniture covers were not cleaned before arrival. The driveway down to the home is steeper than Filmore Street in SF with a scary turn and decent. The upstairs air conditioning did not cool properly compared with the rest of the home. The ugly. Two items: despite incurring a substantial cleaning fee, the checklist for leaving the property essentially asked the guest to do ALL the cleaning, garbage, and dishes except for the linens/sheets. Second, I was confirmed twice by Red Awning, paid for a pet, denied by Yosemite Region Resorts, then submitted ESA paperwork, and again denied as they were no longer allowing ESAs. This was due to confusion about the terms/conditions of Red Awning vs. Yosemite Resorts. Overall this was a good experience. Fix these the issues mentioned, install a few upgrades, provide better pricing, and we may rent for a week.

We had a wonderful time in Groveland. The marina was very close so our teenagers were able to be very independent and we could still keep an eye on them. Canoes were great to cruise around in. Would definitely come back.

Cabin was large with lots of nooks to get away for a nap. Nice view of marina for optimal people watching. Lots of games and activities for teenage boys in the house and lake. Wish the kitchen had more utensils and beds were more firm. Otherwise a fantastic place to be with family, kick back and relax.

Overall we had a great time, the house is beautiful and big. The view is amazing. I get rules and I assume at a point previous guest might have done certain things to create so many rules, but the house comes with a lot of rules. Also, take your own Toilet Paper take for the size of the house the tp was a issue but there is a store in town where you can buy it (I was thinking when I spend that much money, I don't have to take my own TP) also I got charged for cleaning/washing sheets but in 3 of the bedroom sheets there was long black hair inside. The BBQ was a mess (took pictures) we cleaning it out that wasn't cleaned (in the rules it states if you use it to clean it up) and when we were leaving we made sure we cleaned it up as well. The last negative remark I would mention is that when you pay for cleaning of the house, which was not cheap (three hundred something dollars) you still have to keep the kitchen clean (what you use you wash and put it way). When we arrived the cleaning crew were not finished and we arrived later then our check in and some dishes were out still, but leaving I made sure everything was put away where it belonged (didn't want to get additional charges) and oh yes you have to take the trash out as well. So pretty much cleaning fee is for ? I spend a lot of money but felt like I had to keep on cleaning up on my vacation so that I don't have to pay more. Overall, the house is nice and big. Maybe we can try it in the summer time to enjoy the lake.
