It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Yosemite is best known for its waterfalls, rivers, towering granite monoliths, deep valleys and ancient giant sequoias a vast wilderness area, and much more within its nearly 1,200 square miles of parkland for you to explore. Groveland Groveland is a quaint, historic town that played key roles in the California Gold Rush and in the history of Yosemite. It is a gateway to the Stanislaus National Forest and is known for the historic Iron Door Saloon. This town is part of the Mark Twain Bret Harte Trail. A treasure of natural wonders and lively gold rush history. Most of the Grovland action is on Stroll down Main Street One of the most notable businesses downtown is the Iron Door Saloon. Founded in 1852, this is the longest continually operating saloon in all of California. Step up to the bar, which is the original from when it first opened, and order one of their signature drinks. You'll quickly be transported back through time to the Old West. You’ll find good food, drinks and live music at the Groveland Hotel and the Hotel Charlotte. For coffee and nature lovers the best spot is Mountain Sage further down the Hwy 120. Just west of Groveland on Highway 120, Around the Horn Brewing Company is a fun-spirited micro brewery where there's something for everyone, including those who don't particularly care for beer. Their beers are always changing, so there's no getting bored there. Groveland Museum Not only was Groveland a key town during the Gold Rush, it was also the base of operations when the O'Shaughnessy Dam was being constructed to form Hetch Hetchy Reservoir that would provide San Francisco with a stable water source. The Groveland Yosemite Gateway Museum located next to the local library was founded to keep the many stories of the community (natural and cultural) alive, and share them to the many visitors who come through the area. Jump of a Rock Rainbow pool a secret local spot is located nearby off the Hwy 120. You can relax on a warm rock or swim in the pool while watching people jump into the waterfall pool . Hike the many trails Groveland is the Gateway to Yosemite and is surrounded by Stanislaus National Forest, as such no trip here would be complete without exploring at least a few of the many hiking trails. Hiking is the #1 visitor activity in Tuolumne County after all. There are many trails to choose with a great selection of difficulties and terrains, such as the Carlon Falls Trail and Wapama Falls Trail at Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. You can choose to explore yourself, but a great option is to take a guided hike to find the true hidden gems of the area. Embark on a White Water Adventure World-famous whitewater rafting offers everything from float boats to Class 5 runs on the Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers. The Wild and Scenic Tuolumne, named #1 rafting river by the San Francisco Chronicle, is California’s premier wilderness whitewater. Bike in the Woods Tuolumne County offers up some of the most fun on two wheels around. Road and mountain biking is evolving fast in Tuolumne County, and whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned veteran of the cycling world, there’s a trail with your name on it. The Ferretti Road Non-Motorized Trail Network just outside of Groveland includes 1.3 miles of bike-only trail that can riden in any direction and features long drops, log ride, jumps, berms, and rollers. After all that action you’ll be ready to relax Melt Away in Relaxation The brand new indoor/outdoor spa at Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite is filled with extraordinary elements inspired by the natural beauty and power of Yosemite. Imagination has taken form with Warm Waterfall Coves, Aromatherapy Steam Room, and Himalayan Salt Sauna leading to a Cool Mist Room and an innovative Sensory Room that will genuinely transform you. Additional information Cleaning Fee is $200 for the entire stay. This goes directly to the cleaning service. Surrounding area Visit Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. The reservoir inside of Yosemite is accessible without a reservation! Enjoy spectacular scenery while hiking around the reservoir that is the water source for much of San Francisco. Rent a boat, swim, fish or hike at Lake Don Pedro, one of California’s stunning massive reservoirs. Now dog-friendly. Visit Jamestown where several of the town’s buildings that date back to the 1870s and 1880s are occupied by quaint historic inns, restaurants, shops, brewery and wine tasting room. See the historic “movie star locomotive,” the Sierra No. 3®, take a ride on famous Sierra No. 28 and go on a tour of one of the few remaining working railroad roundhouses in America at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. Step back into California’s Gold Rush history in Columbia State Historic Park where you can stroll along wooden sidewalks, ride an authentic stagecoach (your dog can too!), pan for gold and chat with knowledgeable and friendly townspeople dressed in period attire. Wine taste or see live music I’m Murphy’s.

House had everything we needed and close to the lake and local supermarket and restaurants. Owner was very helpful and responsive. Queuing up to enter the neighborhood was annoying. Also having to park on the street at the weekend down by the lake. We went to Hetch Hetchy reservoir although the hike was too long for the baby and 3 year old. We all enjoyed Rainbow Pool and Columbia State Park. A few of our family members went to Yosemite Valley and enjoyed the spectacular views. Overall it was a great vacation and everyone was comfortable in this beautiful home. Thank you for allowing us to stay and thanks for the complimentary wine. I would suggest giving your guests at least two door keys instead of the one.

A lovely cabin in a nice neighborhood. The kids enjoyed the basketball hoop while adults enjoyed the patio. We appreciated the location as it is nearby a local lake, super market, ice-cream shop, etc and it is not that far of a drive to get into Yosemite National Park — which is amazing!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The home was well appointed with everything we needed. All we brought was our food and clothing. The surrounding community (HOA) had a great swimming lake, snack bar (ideal for teenagers), lake boat rides, fun fishing, a pool and of course Yosemite National Park was only 1 1/2 hours away. The town of Groveland is a cute as can be and the nearby grocery store was convenient. My group of 10 definitely wants to return. Thank you Megan. This was a great stay!

We had kids from 6 to 15 in our group, and they all had a blast. So many toys and things to do on the property, tons of games, and the wrap around porches were great for tag. Very well stocked and maintained, this house was perfect for our group.

Well, the property is fine, but I had to pay an extra $44 to enter for each car, I think it would be a good thing if they mentioned it before booking,Besides, you must clean, wash and take out the trash when you are supposed to go on vacation.I definitely don't recommend it.

Weekend getaway
We had a nice stay with great weather. The house was close to the marina and an easy drive to the other amenities at the property. For Memorial Day weekend we were expecting more crowds but it wasn’t too bad on the lake and we enjoyed the trip! The house was very comfortable and met our needs perfectly!

Perfect for a family vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is large, which is what we needed for my wife and me, a daughter and her husband and two children (ages 3 and 6), and another grown daughter. It's also easy to find, straight down the street from the community entrance, about halfway to the lake. The place was extremely well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, mugs, blender, toaster--and on and on. Lots of sheets and towels and bed coverings too. The play area in the back--a jungle-gym, two slides, a swing set--as well as the pool table, foosball game, child's train set, and books galore in the downstairs room of the house--made for a fantastic stay for our grandkids. Also, the owner, Megan, was easy to get ahold of when we had questions and very responsive. The only drawbacks that might make a difference for some people is that the lights in the overhead fans in the living and dining rooms were too dim, and the light bulbs in places throughout the house needed replacing--if only so the same type of bulb was in multi-bulb fixtures, like in the bathrooms. Also, the carpeting in the upstairs hallway and bedrooms was quite worn, and the place was not as clean as we would have wanted. (Some dishes in the cupboards needed re-washing.) Still, we're giving this place 5-stars. The positive features far outweighed the not-so-positive. We had a great time, especially given the size and age ranges of our group (3 years to 72 years!)

Fathers Day weekend
We had the best time on our trip to Pine Mountain Lake! First off let me just say that the pics do not do this rental justice. It is much bigger than it seems online. We came up with my older parents and our kids ranging fro 22-4. There was something for everyone to do. We really loved that the downstairs space for the kids. It gave the adults some quiet and separation during down time. I have stayed at several rentals for vacay and this one was BY FAR the most stocked. There are plenty of pots, pans, dishes, towels, bedding etc. We also really enjoyed the close location to the entry gate. It made navigating our activities really easy. We were bummed it was so hot this weekend as we did not get to enjoy the outdoor space as much as I would have liked but man if we decide to come back to visit PML we would def rest here again. So many wonderful memories were made ♥️
PS Megan was super helpful and responded in a timely manner whenever I had a question! 10/10

This house worked out great for us when we went to Groveland for the weekend. We were 8 total (4 adults and 4 kids). There were definitely enough beds, lots of games and toys to keep the kids occupied, and is part of a lovely lake resort neighborhood. Our only criticism was the cleanliness but we spoke with the owner who is looking into why her cleaners did not do a good job. Hopefully this will be resolved for the next renters. The owner is very responsive so that was great too. I definitely would recommend this rental.

Pine Mountain Lake -Spacious House
My family enjoyed our stay at this property among the pines. Situated centrally in a very picturesque location. We were fortunate enough to see deer and geese during the days we spent here. Communication with the owner was excellent. Megan answered all our questions and gave helpful suggestions about local recreational activities that might be fun for our kids. The house is multi level and very roomy. The back patio/yard has a couple swings, playhouse, slide, toys and a climbing structure. Downstairs has a game room with bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs has the master, additional rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen was fully stocked and very clean. The laundry room was super convenient. There were plenty of fresh linens and towels. The owner was thoughtful in providing little extras for guests like: camping chairs, picnic blanket/supplies, beach toys for the kiddos, beach towels etc. The house is about a mile from the main marina where we enjoyed swimming and a picnic. Lovely and comfy home amongst some gorgeous pine trees. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Family Home
Although I booked the property for one night I really enjoyed the home and the area. So many toys and activities for the kids which they loved. The host was very communicative and helpful throughout the process (considering this was my first time using Vrbo). I would definitely recommend especially if you have kids because there's not many homes that can provide the same amenities. Will for sure book again in the future with a longer stay.

This property was very nice!! Has so many amenities we couldn’t enjoy them all! The poker table was useful as we held a poker tournament! The kitchen was nice and very much used! Maybe a few more pans to use would be nice! Overall the beds were comfortable and spacious rooms! I really loved the Jetted Tub! However the tub stopper may need to be replaced! It wouldn’t fasten to the plug! This home is great with great scenery and the two decks are awesome!! Enjoyed our time

Okay Property, Great Owner
We stayed at this property so that we could visit Yosemite. It took about 45 mins to the gate. The owner of the property was wonderful and allowed us to do an early check-in at no charge. The property itself, however, had a lot to be desired. Some of the kitchen chairs were broken. One of the beds in the room with two fulls was broken and the mattress tipped to the right and sagged in the middle. One of the tubs had no stopper to actually take a bath (we had small kids so that was important to us). We stayed in November and when we reached the property it was 55 degrees in the house. It took the full day of the heater being on to warm up. Every time we came home in the evenings, the home was cool despite us keeping the heater on. In general, the home is just dated. That being said, it was listed at a discount to all the others in the area so I guess we got what we paid for. All this being said, the owner seemed very nice.

Wonderful Home and Location
Our family had such a wonderful trip. The house was just as we expected. We loved the game room, spent hours playing pool or just sitting around for family time.
The location is wonderful! Its about 20 minutes from Rainbow Pools a gorgeous waterfall. Also, it’s seriously a couple minutes drive down to the community lake area. We brought charcoal and BBQ and relaxed in the water.
We thank you for opening your home to us and cant wait to come back next year.

This is a great property for groups/families. The downstairs is set up nicely for play with all kinds of toys and a DVD player with great selection of movies. Upstairs was great for the adults to spend time. The kitchen had everything we needed. Megan is very responsive and accessible. The lake was nice, but limited activities due to the COVID situation. Day trips to Yosemite were very convenient and a favorite of the entire family.
