Pine Mountain Lake
House was in good shape for age. Very clean. Pet friendly home but there is no yard and all the facilities and rec spots on the lake are NO Dog zones. There is a dog park nearby, but you need to register your dog with the city and provide proof of vaccination. Not worth the time and money for a week stay imo.

Location
Good location for us so we chose it again this year as we have a house around the corner and needed to do more clean out and disposal of stuff. The only thing is we were not able to check out an hour later which would have helped since the hauling truck was scheduled for 9:00, so we left at 8:30am. Still 4 vertical slats missing in the master bedroom blinds.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The home was larger than what we needed for us 3 girls but it was comfortable and well stocked. The home is close to the lake, but our main reason for going to Groveland was to hike along the Tuolomne river. The home wasn’t dirty but it was clear the downstairs floor wasn’t cleaned as evidenced by crumbs and ants upon arrival. Dirty dishes were still in the dishwasher and linens were in the dryer. The communication was fast and responsive with Vacasa. Overall, it was a great home for our girls getaway weekend.

Where to stay when going to Yosemite
Wonderful location within striking distance of Yosemite NP. Plenty of room for two families of four. Clean and spacious for cost. Great opportunity to experience a gated community in the Foothills.

Enjoyed our stay. Seems to be well maintained except for patio door screen which was off its track and a few missing vertical blinds in the master bedroom. Heater worked, same with stove, toaster oven, etc. Reasonable price for all included charges. Would stay there again.
