The Woodsy Hideaway is a delightful retreat! The combination of scenic views, comfortable accommodations, and convenient access to both outdoor activities and historical landmarks makes it an appealing destination for a variety of travelers.

The well-appointed living spaces, including the spacious living room and kid-friendly loft, offer a welcoming environment for guests to relax and enjoy their stay. And with Groveland's historic charm and nearby attractions, there's no shortage of things to see and do in the area. It sounds like a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure awaits you.

Yosemite Getaway

The house itself was spotless and cozy, with all the necessary amenities. The hosts put a lot of thought into making their guests feel welcome, providing everything from comfortable bedding to a fully equipped kitchen. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating area, where I could relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy the peaceful setting. The hosts were quick to respond to our questions and provided excellent recommendations. Whether you're looking for a quiet getaway or a place to enjoy Yosemite, this spot has it all. I can't recommend it enough, and I will be coming back

Beautiful front deck

House was clean and roomy. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful with deer wandering through the yard. The front deck was so nice after a long day of hiking. You have to pay for a pass for your vehicle that covers the length of your stay in this gated community.

Well stocked kitchen and coffee bar. Fabulous porch!

Great place to relax between hikes and rest up. We appreciated the everyday items available like laundry soap and a kitchen well stocked with the basics, lots of spices and more. The covered porch was cool and relaxing.So much so we didn't want to leave in the mornings and looked forwarded to returning from our hikes. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

Perfect stay

This is our second stay in Debi and Vineet's properties. And for the second time we are giving them A+. The property well maintained and equipped with everything you need. Check-in and check-out are straightforward. All instructions and driving directions were clear and provided in advance. The location is great: ~2 min. drive to the beach, ~5 min. drive to the local store, 30-35 min. to Yosemite National Park. The communication with hosts was easy and pleasant. We had really enjoyable 5-night stay. We will definitely rent from Debi and Vineet again and recommend this property to our friends.

The home was very well set up with almost anything needed. The front covered deck was spacious and a great place to hang out. Yosemite is an easy drive away (although Highway 120 was closed due to weather-related maintence) . The nearby golf course was very nice.

We had a wonderful stay at Debi and Vineet’s Pine Mountain Lake home! The home was in a quiet mountain area with a view of the lake from a spectacular deck. The house was in excellent condition and stocked with so much of what we needed: beach towels, beach chairs, large gas grill, and even assorted condiments. We highly recommend this home and hope to return each year.

Great Pine lake retreat!

We were very happy here with the beautiful surroundings and proximity to the lake and other fun outings like a trip to Columbia or some time in Groveland. The place is very welcoming with a generously well stocked kitchen, lots of comfortable furniture, beach towels and chairs. The owner have clearly put a lot of though into all of this. They were also quick to communicate in answer to any questions and kindly gave us some flexibility on check in and check out times. Highly recommended!

Nice, clean, comfortable place. We loved our stay. It had everything we needed. Perfect place to come back to after a long day in Yosemite. I loved having coffee and hanging out on the extra large balcony! My son loved having his own loft area upstairs. His own "little hideaway." Just a mile down to the beach. Fun watching the deer at night on the golf course! Quiet and beautiful location. Very peaceful.

Nice house, nice neighborhood, but not treated as though we fully belonged in the neighborhood.

Nice house: The house was very well furnished, with nice furniture, a very nice view of the mountains from the front deck, nicely-appointed kitchen, very nice washer and dryer set, and overall very comfortable and clean. The front deck had an incredible view of the mountains, only partially obstructed by power lines across the street, and the deck had a lot of loose screws and popped up boards, and needed some basic TLC. There was a single central AC/heat system in the house which worked fine at night and on cooler days, but on hot sunny days it became quite hot upstairs due to radiant heating from the roof--we chose to open the upstairs windows and door and blow cooler air into the house using a fan vs. running the window-banger AC. An attic fan to pull cooler air up from downstairs might make more sense. Good location: The property was convenient to grocery, pool, and lake, and about 1.25hrs drive from Yosemite valley. Nice neighborhood: The neighborhood pool and lakefront were very festive on hot afternoons, and the neighbors that we talked to at the pool and lakefront were nice. Unpublished neighborhood rules: We booked this property roughly 9 months prior to travel, and were told 1 week before that it is in a gated community with a $31 weekly guest fee, entrance through only the main gate, and preference for neighborhood amenities (pool and lakefront) given to residents. Unfortunately we were told upon entry that (1) we would be asked to leave the pool in lieu of owners if the pool reached capacity and (2) that we had to park on the street at the lakefront because the parking lot was reserved for owners. They still liked our money at the lakefront concession. Overall it wasn't a big deal, but would have been nice to know these "rules" at time of booking. Limited wifi: We were also told a week before arrival that the wi-fi is not unlimited and that we would be charged $10/GB for every day which we use more than 4GB. Telling our teen and tween that they couldn't stream any shows or movies for a full week was painful. The selection of DVDs was extensive but targeted to younger children. Four mod's would make this perfect IMHO (1) disclosing the neighborhood issues up front, (2) some TLC on the front deck (3) a better wifi data policy or service and (4) a better solution for the temp difference between up and downstairs. Not to dwell on the negative, we did really enjoy our time at this house, and would definitely come back!

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

This was a great house for our family of five. We had a great time hiking in Yosemite and then coming back to sit by the fire at night, playing card game, and watching movies was exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Everything was clean, comfortable beds, and a beautiful view from the front deck. This home could easily fit two families with all the kids on the upper level and adults downstairs.
