Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good place to stay to see Yosemite The house was nice and on the surface clean. Overall a very nice place. The pool table and ping pong table in garage were fun. Groveland is a nice town. Small, but has a good grocery and everywhere we ate at was good. Not a bad drive to the north gate of Yosemite park and it was not busy at that gate. The negatives are that the carpet needs cleaned and the house needs a deep cleaning behind furniture, etc. also the $75 to get through the gate was kinda ridiculous as we did not use any pine mountain facilities other than the road. Cleaning fee excessive. But overall it was a good stay. It was a last minute e booking and we were glad to get it. And Ps. It’s about an 1 1/2 hr from Yosemite valley. Get up early. ##### John M B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Gil D., Oakland Jul 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Star of the Mountain 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. ##### Gil D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olivia R.
