Your Private Mountain Retreat Near Yosemite

Escape to the mountains and settle into a thoughtfully appointed retreat inside the private, gated Pine Mountain Lake community. Whether you're planning a family vacation, a Yosemite adventure, or simply looking to slow down and enjoy the mountains, this comfortable home offers the ideal combination of location, relaxation, and entertainment.

Located just minutes from historic Groveland and approximately 30 minutes from Yosemite National Park, you'll have easy access to some of the area's most memorable scenery and outdoor adventures, while returning each evening to your own peaceful mountain getaway.

Relax, Unwind & Enjoy

The home is designed with comfort in mind, offering central heating and air conditioning for year-round stays, multiple smart TVs, comfortable furnishings, and a cozy gas fireplace that creates a welcoming atmosphere after a day of exploring.

Step outside onto the spacious deck and patio and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Start your morning with coffee in the fresh mountain air, gather for an outdoor meal, or unwind with a glass of wine as the day comes to an end.

Your Own Game Room

One of the home's favorite features is the garage game area, giving families and groups a dedicated space to have fun together. Challenge each other to foosball, air hockey, ping-pong, or darts. It's the perfect place to keep the fun going long after you've returned from the lake or Yosemite.

Pine Mountain Lake

Guests are just a short distance from Pine Mountain Lake's community amenities, with the lake and pool less than a mile from the home. Golf, tennis, and pickleball are also available within the community for an additional fee.

Spend the day swimming, playing, golfing, exploring, or simply enjoying the mountain scenery. Then come home, fire up the game room, relax on the deck, and enjoy an evening together.

The Perfect Yosemite Home Base

With Yosemite approximately 30 minutes away, you can spend your days exploring waterfalls, giant sequoias, granite peaks, and spectacular mountain scenery, then return to the comfort and privacy of your Pine Mountain Lake retreat.

This is more than a place to sleep, it's a place to spend time together, disconnect from the routine, and create the kind of vacation memories that last long after you return home.

**Please note:** A one-time $50 gate access fee per vehicle is required for entry into Pine Mountain Lake.

We look forward to welcoming you and helping make your stay an exceptional mountain getaway.

Perfect for Families with Kids

We had an amazing time. The property is lovely, had everything we needed. We stayed with a couple of friends, teenagers and a toddler. This property had everything to keep them entertained. TONS of board games, puzzles, video games, movies, my kids were so excited and played for hours. Even dog friendly! If we come back to Groveland, we will definitely stay here again. Loved the layout, everyone had their own private space. The house was clean and spacious. Communication with the owner was surprisingly fast, almost instant. Had a wonderful time! Thank you again 😊

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
Groveland and the Pine Mountain Lake area are lovely, and the home's proximity to Yosemite is accurately described. Check-in was smooth, and the gate entry fee was exactly as stated. The home was clean upon arrival and offered plenty of entertainment. However, we encountered a few communication issues. Two undisclosed Ring cameras were on the property; while we understand the security need, we would have appreciated knowing this in advance as a family with children. Additionally, the trash instructions were highly inconsistent. We were told to buy special trash bags at the gate, but security informed us owners must provide them. We ended up having to drive to the next town to buy bags for 10 each. We also had to retrieve the trash cans from the curb, and were ultimately told to haul our trash to a dump site across the lake, contradicting the manual's instructions to leave it in the garage. It felt like we spent too much vacation time managing property upkeep. Updating the listing with accurate rules and camera disclosures would greatly benefit future guests.

Why they chose this property

Discover Pine Mountain Lake & Historic Groveland

Tucked away in the Sierra foothills, Pine Mountain Lake (PML) is one of the area's best-kept secrets, a peaceful, private mountain community just a short drive from Yosemite National Park. Surrounded by towering pines, fresh mountain air, and beautiful scenery, PML offers the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the outdoors.

Just outside the gates, you'll find the historic town of Groveland, a charming community with deep roots in California's Gold Rush era. Once a bustling mining town, Groveland has retained much of its small-town character and welcoming spirit.

Today, the town is filled with locally owned shops, restaurants, and places that give Groveland its distinctive personality. Grab a bite, browse the local shops, meet the friendly locals, or simply stroll through town and take in the historic surroundings.

And don't miss the **Iron Door Saloon**, which proudly lays claim to being California's oldest continuously operating saloon. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time, but don't let the history fool you, it's a welcoming, family-friendly stop and a fun part of the Groveland experience.

Whether you're spending the day exploring Yosemite, enjoying the lake, hiking the surrounding trails, playing a round of golf, or wandering through historic Groveland, Pine Mountain Lake puts you close to it all while giving you a peaceful place to return to at the end of the day.

**Come for Yosemite. Discover Groveland. Stay for the mountain lifestyle.**

What makes this property unique

A Home Designed for Comfort & Together Time

Spread across three levels, our home offers plenty of space and privacy for families and groups traveling together. Each level features its own bedroom and full bathroom, while the top-floor loft adds an extra space to relax, read, play games, or simply enjoy some quiet time away from the group.

When you're ready to get outside, you'll find walking and hiking trails less than half a mile away. Whether you're looking for a peaceful morning stroll or want to explore the surrounding mountain landscape, adventure is never far from the front door.

The spacious deck is another favorite spot to unwind. Soak up the sunshine, enjoy your morning coffee, gather for an outdoor meal, or fire up the gas grill for a relaxed evening barbecue while taking in the peaceful surroundings.

And because Pine Mountain Lake is beautiful in every season, our home is ready to welcome you year-round. Enjoy sunny summer days by the lake, crisp autumn weather, winter escapes in the mountains, or the fresh spring scenery.
