Yaya`s Yosemite Retreat
Welcome to Yaya`s Yosemite Retreat. A Cozy and comfortable two-story cabin within walking distance of the lake, Playground, Fisherman`s Cove, and hiking trail. Makes it perfect for families and small groups!
Yaya`s is located in the private gated community of Pine Mountain Lake, just 27 miles west of Yosemite`s north gate. Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Yosemite National Park one day and the calm waves of the lake the next. Rainbow Pools, Hetch Hetchy, Don Pedro Lake, and Carlon Falls are just a few of the other natural beauties in the area that await your exploration.
The space: Our piece of paradise has vaulted ceilings, pine paneling, and a wood bullring stove to give you that cabin charm that makes you feel like you`re worlds away from your everyday life. The Kitchen is fully equipped with everything to make a delicious meal. An open floor provides lots of gathering space between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. Our deck provides the perfect space to relax, watch the wildlife, and enjoy a meal. The four bedrooms offer comfortable sleeping arrangements with all brand new mattresses: upstairs (main level) has a master bedroom (queen bed) with an attached bathroom; the second bedroom has a set of twin-sized bunk beds. Downstairs you will find two bedrooms, one bath, and a laundry facility. One bedroom contains a queen-size bed, and the other a set of twin-size bunks beds.
We are waiting for your arrival.
Due to limited parking space and no street parking available, we must limit your party to four (4) cars.
Pine Mountain Lake Association charges a $42.00 visitor fee per car good for the duration of your visit.

This Cabin was our Happy Place for the weekend
The place was very nice and cozy! Mike was very helpful and responsive. The cabin had everything we needed available from kitchen utensils to bedding and towels. It was a very lovely place to spend our Christmas weekend at and we very much enjoyed the place and location.
