This was our 2nd time staying at this beautiful home tucked away in Groveland! It fit our family of 16 perfectly! It is beautifully furnished and the pool table is a hit with all ages. The host is so accommodating and very easy to communicate with. The home is stocked with so many little nice and thoughtful touches. We will definitely be back next year.
Our main reason for the stay at Zen retreat was its proximity to Yosemite. Yosemite is about a 30 minute drive and we entered the park 3days.The property has a fully stocked kitchen ware. There is a nice patio for outdoor dining or lounging. 3 full bathrooms, stocked with nice soaps and skin and shampoo care. Name brand soaps. There were beach towels in the house as we used the beach at the private lake. The house is comfortable and the beds are comfortable. There was a minor issue with the jacuzzi. I contacted the host and it was remedied immediately the next day while we were out of the house. There is wildlife through out the area. Deer and bear sighting on the street of the house were daily. There is a nice wrap around patio on the front of the house. All in all there were 14 adults and we fit comfortably.
