Settle in for a wonderful lake getaway at this classic family cabin, thoughtfully designed to capture the charm of the old-school retreats you remember from childhood 🌲. Set back from the road and tucked among mature oak trees, the home feels private and peaceful—an ideal place to unplug and reconnect.
There’s plenty of space for everyone to gather, from the cozy living room to the expansive back deck, where sweeping views of Pine Mountain Lake and the surrounding peaks steal the show. After a full day of swimming, hiking, or exploring, light a fire in the wood stove, grab a board game, and unwind together in true cabin style 🔥.
The large, fully equipped kitchen has everything needed to prepare memorable vacation meals. Enjoy them around the dining table, out on the deck with a view, or steps away at the home’s private beach. A private washer and dryer make it easy to refresh swimsuits and clothes while everyone relaxes.
Sleeping areas are spread across two floors, giving each guest their own space and a bit of privacy—perfect for families or groups traveling together. With room to spread out and countless spots to gather, this cabin is made for making memories by the lake.

Great location and views. The only negative issue was the two downstairs bedrooms stayed very hot at night even though the air conditioning that’s coming from the wall in the family room didn’t cool it off enough to sleep comfortably.

Great house/location
This is a wonderful place for families with children looking to have a private sandy beach access. Beach needed a good cleaning from months worth of geese poop, but it you’re willing to do that (or just rent the place right after us:)) you will not regret it. There aren’t many places on PML with shallow sandy water access…. Also, house sits on a large lot with lots of trees providing shade and privacy. House is very well equipped. Be aware that two downstairs bedrooms don’t have AC, so they get a bit hot during the day (we stayed there in August and had two 95F days), but cool off at night with the help of fans. Living room and upstairs MB have AC. The house is old, but well kept and clean. We’re already planning our next stay there!

Location, location, location
This place is all about location. The setting is beautiful, the yard is large, the beach is private, and the deck is a perfect place to hang out. This was our second stop in our adventure through the CA national parks. The upper entrance to Yosemite was closed so had to go a couple hours out of our way to get to Yosemite valley. However, exploring and hiking the Hetch Hetchy reservoir was awesome.
The place is a bit dated but the location makes up for that. We had deer walk and graze through the yard, geese with their little ones, birds, and bats. One of our favorite stays during our tour. Recommended!
Shout out to the host, Vacasa. They responded immediately to minor issues that turned out to be our misunderstanding. We had great communication with Vacasa throughout our several rentals.

Great location, comfortable beds, good enough kitchen and furniture. Definitely deferred maintenance
The location is amazing.
The AC is pretty good. (It gets hot in Groveland!)
The home is aged and they aren't investing in upkeep. The tv HDMi ports don't recognize the dvd player or our plug-in games. We couldn't get movies to play. Tv seems glitchy. Had to restart a couple times. (TVs are cheap nowdays, why not upgrade?)
Internet is mountain internet. Don't come to PML area expecting to Zoom or stream
The location ... Is ... Amazing.
The house is It's a roof over your head.
Watch your step on the deck or you'll get major splinters.
The flourescent light in the kitchen doesn't work. There are screws holding down the carpet in places that can catch your toe. (Back door)
And there's like a big nail or something sticking up out of the floorboards right in front of the couch. Again.. I don't think anybody's trying to take care of this place it's just old house with an amazing location.
It's not a Cook's kitchen, but there's enough utensils and pots pans plates whatever to get you by. There's a good grocery store 5 minutes away. And decent pizza and burgers.
There's also a decent restaurant at the golf course.
The two bathrooms are totally adequate. The beds are comfortable. It's a great base camp for playing in the mountains!
When you rent here you cannot bring your own paddle boards or kayaks. They've got an owner's only rule.
Also beware of the main Beach Marina on the weekends doesn't allow guests to park in the parking lot. You got to walk in. (The main Beach and Marina has awesome ice cream and French fries and burgers etc. And you can rent paddle boats and kayaks etc)
No dogs at the beach.
Good bicycle riding on the roads in the area. Steep. No bike lane. But low traffic. (For the avid cyclist especially)
The dirt road to Lumsden Bridge (map it) is a fun drive (no 4x4 needed, but rough in spots) and it will take you 5 mi down into the most severe looking canyon, to see the tuolumne River in a place few people go. If you're in the trout fishing, this is a good access point.
Be sure to check out the restrictions for Access into Yosemite in the summer. Sometimes there are reservations required just to enter the park. Know before you go! (We love to go down to evergreen Lodge and Hetch Hetchy reservoir for an excursion and lunch/dinner at least once a summer. About an hour away)

Great location
If you don't mind things being a little outdated, this place is awesome. It is comfortable and cozy. A little dusty and a few cobwebs, but easily taken care of. The location is great with its own beach area/large lot, and close to the community beach and dock. The only thing it is missing is a kayak/paddle boat (since you can't use your own). You can rent them but it's nice to have them come with the house so you can use in the morning or evening and not just for an hour or two during the day. Some nicer/more comfortable outdoor chairs and tables on the deck would be great too, but not a deal breaker. One thing to note is that you can't check in at the PML community gate until 4pm either. All in all we had a good time and enjoyed the house. We would visit again.

Awesome location compensates for okay house
Pros:
Location! Spacious deck facing the main marina.
Private beach (half sandy)
Well stocked kitchen
Charcoal and electric grills available
Plenty of parking
Cons
Poor cleaning, lots of dust, spider web, kitchen kettles often dirty.
Poor AC. No Central ac, only two separate units downstairs and upstairs that take a long time to cool down the house.
Geeses on the beach during day time result in dirty beach.
Canoe on the pictures is not available.
Electricity went out twice (overnight) causing food in fridge to unfreeze/go bad - that affected most of the lake though

Perfect location, dated interior
We will absolutely return. This is the best spot on the lake- next to a lovely sandy beach but with your own lakefront view. The beds were comfortable and quiet, as were the upstairs floors (stairs creak but not that disturbed our 3 year old sleeping with a sound maker.) The kitchen was well stocked. Layout of the house was perfect for our needs. Heater and AC worked beautifully up and downstairs. Our only complaint was that the cabin was straight out of the 1960’s. We don’t mind the rustic vibe but everything was super dusty. If you pat the couch, a cloud of dust rose up. There was also dust on surfaces that should have been cleaned prior to arrival (bottom of end tables, kitchen). The living room chair had dust bunnies all over it we had to pick off. Once we gave it our own cleaning, we really enjoyed ourselves (and stopped sneezing). I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful the cabin was and how much we’d like to return. Also, we didn’t find it noisy at all- seemed to be contained at the beach next door and was largely out of earshot. Beach was virtually empty each morning and evening which was great for us!

older house on lake
Good place for family with kids. It was less of a fit for us as a couple. Right next to small public beach - nice but some noise
Pros: Lake view, deck, quiet bench right by the water, a lot of space, beds, furniture, full kitchen
Cons: too much heavy furniture, a little dark, older home feels a bit worn
