The place was lovely. We really enjoyed the proximity to the lake, the game room with the pool and ping pong table, as well as the outdoor sitting area.

Enjoyed the 4 night stay in a great setting and proximity to Yosemite and Pine Mountain Lake. Weather was hot that weekend but the AC kept the house cool. Evenings cooled off and the after dinner drinks on the deck was pleasant. Some minor issues were reported to the management company that didn’t make the rental a 5 star. Water from refrigerator came out very slow. The AC made the bedrooms cold despite bumping up the thermostat. One headboard was broken and one lamp needed a new light bulb. Only two dishwasher pods and two garbage bags provided for a 4 night stay. Visitors should bring condiments if they plan to cook. If you run out of propane - guests have to pay for an exchange at the market. There is no parking at the marina for visitors. If the marina is crowded - there are two other beaches but there are no kayak or boat rentals at the other beaches. If one travels to the swimming pool - visitors don’t have gate access and have to go back through the front gate. The front gate can be a long wait on busy weekends as visitors have to wait if a card key is not provided to go through the bypass lane.. The location is great as a staging area to go to Yosemite - it was an hour drive to the park. The guest rooms have two queen beds that made it nice to have 2 additional couples. There is a second refrigerator freezer in the garage to stick up on food if guests like to cook. I would stay there again.

Very clean...made for an enjoyable and relaxing weekend. The game room was a fantastic benefit...after a day at the lake, coming home and watching our kids play pool & ping pong brought tons of laughter. Highly recommend this place!!

Yosemite is about an hour away, but the drive feels less. This home makes you want to stay and lounge all day!
