This large home is built with three floor levels. This home may not be appropriate with guests with mobility issues because of three flights of stairs. Access to main level is down one flight of stairs from the street. Three cameras have been installed in outside areas for security. One is above the garage door to see any cars or people approaching the property from the street. Another is to see people going down the steps to the entry. This area is not very visible from the street. The property is on a narrow and quiet street of three homes. Strangers can wander around peaking in windows if they think the property is vacant. The last camera looks out at the lake & dock to see any boats or people approaching the property that do not belong here. There are no cameras inside the house. We are associated with a local Christian camp that keeps a couple of ski boats on our dock from mid-May to early September. Drivers will come twice a day to pick up and return the boats on Monday through Friday. We have had this relationship for over 30 years and none of our guests have had an issue with this arrangement or the camp staff.

There is no access to the garage on this property.

Family Vacation

We booked this stay for Memorial Day weekend with our family and friends. The home was perfect for all of us and the views are gorgeous. Plenty of games for the kids, dock for our boat, lots of room throughout the house and the check in/check out process was easy. The owners were quick in their response anytime I had a question. Can’t wait to go back next year!

Great home on the lake

Our extended family had a lot of fun staying at the home. There were a ton of board games provided and the kitchen had plenty of utensils. Kids had a blast. I missed that there steps to get into the house and thought it was communicated to us, we missed that part. We had one of our family members who needed help walking but was able to get in with the help of railing on the side. Overall great property.

Great house with great hosts

We stayed at Willow Cove Lodge for Thanksgiving weekend. We were 4 families of friends and had plenty of room for everyone. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. The house is right on the lake but there's no water right at the front at this time. It still has a great view, especially from the kitchen. Thanks again for the hospitality.

Great stay

That like is a cute and magical place. The house is very conveniently located on the lake as well as five minute walk to the little downtown area with a couple restaurants and market. Perfectly located for the Yosemite steam train and entrance to Yosemite park. The waterfall hike, which is like five minutes from the property was absolutely amazing. I recommend it.
