We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful waterfront home! The views were stunning, and there was plenty of space for everyone. It was the perfect spot to spend a week with family and friends—swimming, fishing, barbecuing, and stargazing. While we did experience a few plumbing issues due to the age of the house, the Vacasa team was prompt and efficient in resolving them. We’d happily recommend this place to friends! ##### Liudmila L.

Location is assume, BUT getting down to the lake is very strange and takes a billy goat to navigate. Repairs have not been done in many years, be careful of roofing nails on the outside deck, bedrooms on lower level are accessed from the outside and are very strange. All this being said, for a short stay, if you don't mind these oddities, it's on the lake with great views. Would not recommend for a long term stay. ##### Don V. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadejda V.

Unfortunately, the community of Pine Mountain Lake has overdeveloped and exceeded the capacity of the sewage treatment plant. There was a constant smell of sewage. We were told by several residents of the area that this has been a growing problem for several years and the residents have been unable to solve it. ##### Triona G.

Sep 8, 2024 #### My heart's desire is to stay in this place again We came across several reviews mentioning the property's age and outdated features. While the property is certainly not new, it provided all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Upon our arrival, the house was impeccably clean and offered ample space, with numerous windows showcasing stunning views of the lake. The air conditioning functioned effectively, keeping the environment pleasantly cool. Outside, there are two barbecue grills available for use. The outdoor area is spacious, allowing guests to lounge beneath the trees, unwind in a hammock, or relax under umbrellas by the water. This location suited our needs perfectly, and we genuinely hope to return in the future. ##### NOE A. ### 8/10 Good #### Wendy H.

The home is spacious and comfortable and perfect for your entire family. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. My only negative is the home is very dated many of the electrical outlets did not work and one side of the sink was not operational during our stay. We made it work and honestly would stay again. It would be nice if the owner would allow us to use their kayaks. I would have paid an additional fee for that convenience. ##### Wendy H.

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Don V. May 23, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Not As Advertised !! Even though the location on the lake was very good, the home has not seen any repairs in many years. Rolling out the awning above the dining room windows to shade from the early day sun (after figuring out it was not plugged in to the outlet), we found a very tattered fabric all the width !! Also had to sweep the deck, that looked as if it had not been cleaned in a very long time, and found many roofing nails, looks like the roof is in need of repair. In the dining room, the best view in the home, found that two the window blinds were taped or wired so as not to work! In a cabinet next to the kitchen exhaust fan, found an electrical box uncovered with wires exposed, a safety hazard. Also in the kitchen area there is a missing knob for the on off of the exhaust fan, along with other cabinets missing knob and drawers not operating properly. Even two of the bedrooms were up on the mail level and two were on the lower level only accessed by going outside! The two lower bedrooms were connected to each other along with a bathroom. Getting to the lake is quite the billy goat hike, down two sets of stairs, around the back and down a gravel path the dock, were there is a great dining area, with table and chairs, and a new umbrella, if you can lug all your stuff there!! Overall, for a short three night, four day stay and you are willing to accept all this, it's a great location. Would NOT Recommend for a family with lots of kids, too had to navigate for a long period. ##### Don V.

Unfortunately, will never come back again. Over the years, the house has not been maintained. Needs a lot of work, everything is broken and dirty. Can’t believe how dirty it was specially during these COVID times, Cobwebs everywhere, carpets stink. Kitchens pots and pans unusable. It was a very hot weekend and the AC doesn’t seem to work well. Be aware - They provide one one roll Of paper towel , toilet paper and trash bags. Location is awesome but there are plenty of other houses on the lake with better facilities at the same price. ##### Mohini M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer J. Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great Location, But Older Property Best part of the property is the location on the lake. However, the first impression driving in was off putting with the broken down car, boats, leaves, cobwebs and debris covering car ports, decks and steps. The worst part of the house side is the kitchen. The counter tops grout, floors, fridge, are all older and not clean. The dishwasher was full of dishes when we arrived, the coffee pot had not been cleaned in a very long time. A pan was left in the oven filled with a large amount of grease from a prior rental. Large cutting board on the counter was very dirty. Not impressed with the older kitchen. The ignition switch on both BBQ did not work. Need to have your own lighter. One of the BBQ burners is out. Broken shades and stutters. The view of the lake is very nice, along with the family room area to all to hang out. If it weren’t for the lake view and dock, I would have rated the house a 2. In general the property needs some love and care. ##### Jennifer J. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Teresa L. Nov 10, 2023 #### Your height matters... There are a lot of good things about this place - budget friendly, right on the lake, spacious, plenty of seating for large families/groups. There are some not so great things too, especially if you are taller than 5'8. The place is dated as other reviewers have noted. Feels like you are staying in a friend's grandparents place, but without your friend or any of the memories that would make it feel good. Once you get the place aired out, it is much better. Beds are hard as rocks, so recommend you bring a mattress topper and your own pillows too. The main bath has table high counters (rather than standard counter height) - I'm 6'0 and the counter came mid thigh on me (and top of head was cut off in mirror). The shower head is so low that it hit me mid chest - and that is with it angled up as far as it would go. The shower stall itself is fine, however there wasn't enough room for me to get on my knees or squat far enough for me to wash my hair. That all being said, tall people problems... I know. ##### Teresa L. ### 6/10 Okay #### Deborah S. Jul 17, 2020 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### June 2020 When we arrived After 4pm the key code would not work! We had three phones connected trying to reach someone. I also sent texts and emails. We had gone grocery shopping in Groveland For ice cream, milk and fresh items. It took over an hour for someone to finally pick up the phone. She gave us another key code which worked. I was told someone would contact me regarding this situation but no one ever did! I was also told I would be credited for groceries never happened. I had tried to check in early was told no because the cleaners were taking extra time to clean and sanitize. We were totally upset because the house was filthy. The kitchen was not cleaned at all, sink was not scrubbed out ....the pots and pans were so dirty we scrubbed everything before we used it. The kitchen table was such a great size but also dirty ...there were no cleaning agents like comet in the hand or Clorox so it was hard to wipe them down. Bedrooms were fine...Clean towels were there 1 per person Bathrooms were okay tried not to think about this after the disappointment in the kitchen. The outside area was awesome and the dock swimming. I would Stay here again but would bring my cleaning supplies with me. ##### Deborah S.
