This cozy, one-story home in Groveland, CA is a great place to experience the outdoors in comfort. With nearby lake access and games like darts and pool, plus community amenities, up to eight will have a memorable time here!

Located in the quiet Pine Mountain Lake neighborhood, you'll enjoy access to community tennis courts, golf, horseback riding, and a shared pool. Plus, this is the closest you can stay to the majestic Yosemite National Park, just 25 miles away, and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort is just 54 miles to the north!

The house itself has a very comfortable vibe. As you approach the door, you'll find a deck with a bench in front, and a larger seating area in the back with a cushioned swing and a gas grill. Drink your coffee out here on a nice morning to admire the sunshine and the peaceful sounds of wilderness all around.

Inside, grab a seat on the couch or one of the reclining armchairs in the living room and fire up the woodstove or wood-burning fireplace to get cozy in chilly weather. You might enjoy watching a DVD on the flatscreen cable TV or gather the group to play a board game on the soft carpet.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook delicious meals, including a dishwasher to make clean-up easy. There is plenty of counter space and natural light from the windows, and the dining table in the next room over will fit everyone for a family dinner.

A bonus room provides entertainment with a pool table and dartboard. Kids will love hanging out in this room while the adults chat, or you might all find entertainment down here! Kick back and relax in the patio chairs in the back deck to bask comfortably in the sun or look for wildlife on a nice day.

Three bedrooms and two full baths make this home suitable for up to eight travelers. One bedroom features two double beds, a second features a queen-size bed, and the master bedroom has a king-size bed, plus a full private bath with a jetted tub. A shared full bath is easily accessible for all.

A private washer/dryer allows you to freshen up any laundry you may have, and you can use this time to find peace away from work. Use the free WiFi to stay in touch with your group back home!

This house is perfect for a family or a group of friends looking for a comfortable outdoor vacation - walk to the lake to sunbathe on the beach, swim or fish in the refreshing water, or rent a nonmotorized boat from the marina to enjoy other water activities. Nearby, you'll also find horseshoes, horseback riding, and more than 20 miles of trails for hiking and biking around the area.

For anyone interested in beautiful nature areas, Yosemite National Park is a required stop! Just a 25-mile drive will bring you to the edge of the park, and you can continue to the valley floor, where you can see El Capitan, Half-Dome, and take a drive or hike up to Glacier Point to see a breathtaking view. Giant Sequoias will tower over you in Tuolumne Grove, and you can learn about the natural history of the park at the museum. After all that, you'll still be able to make it home in time for a late dinner at one of the several dining options in Groveland. And if you're looking for a change of pace, check out Black Oak Casino just 27 miles north.

You deserve a break, and this home is just what you're looking for - book today!

Great Stay
Owls Landing was a fantastic place, a real home away from home. There was loads of space, it was really nicely presented and the facilities were excellent. Everybody loved playing pool and the retro video games, and the location was great for accessing the lake. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely come back.

great house
We really loved to wonderful home. My son and husband absolutely love the games room. It had lots of games. They loved the Pool table. The Kitchen had every piece of equipment you could ever need. We even got to see a deer in the garden. Would highly recommend P Street

Fabulous
From the moment we opened the door I knew I have made a great choice. From the cleanliness to the complete kitchen set-up, this home is top notch. Pots, knives, glasses, utensils, blender. Then add a cabinet with soup, coffee, mac n cheese, marsh mellows, and all sorts of spices, it was just perfect. Thank you for paying such close attention to these details.

Nice foothills retreat
Nice place, great location. Very close to the golf course, plus in the home itself my friend and I enjoyed amenities including shooting pool and throwing darts. This place provided a nice leisurely weekend. Would definitely re-visit.

Nice and super comfortable
If you only like modern style, this might not be the good fit, but otherwise, we highly recommended this house. We really enjoyed the game room, with a great pool table (the dartboard was useless with broken darts). Nice living room with comfortable couches and a fireplace, well equipped kitchen, comfortable master bedroom. Super clean. The area is also nice and very quiet, and like others, we got the visit of deers every morning.

Groveland
This is a nice roomy home. Huge kitchen was a plus for us. Used as our base camp for Yosemite, the location was an easy 30 minute drive to the North entrance. Next time we come in warmer weather will definitely use the beautiful private lake. No cell or Wi-Fi available at the property as described but we went a mile up the road the local market parking lot and were able to use all our devices. The small local market MarVal was surprisingly well stocked with all items we we are used to seeing at our local big chain stores. Each day we were created by a few deer right outside the back window.

Cozy get-away
We stayed here for 3 nights and it was very comfortable! We saw so many deer in the mornings and loved the stars at night! The things that I would suggest to change would be that the shower handle in the master was loose and came off a few times and the kitchen appliances were dated....but overall the place was great for our whole family, it's close the the lake and we would totally stay here again :)

Great weekend spot
We rented this home for the weekend. It is very spacious with a huge kitchen and game room. If you are looking for updated or luxury you may want to pass but if you aren't fussy this place is roomy and comfortable.

The Great Escape!
This was a secluded community with lots of beautiful nature. We woke up to several deer in our backyard. It was simply amazing! There was very very little to no reception and no WiFi which was great because we were able to enjoy the outdoors more and bond with one another. You have to go into town on the main road in order to get the slightest bit signal but again it was great to take a break from the internet and social media. Would 100% do it again!

Close to park, great house.
This house is big, full kitchen, whirlpool tub. Very cozy, but very dated. That's OK, it's not dated and stinky, just built in the 80's. Place was great for a family, town has most of what you'd need. The only think I'd ask of the owner is internet. There is zero cell coverage at this place, so it's awesome if you want to get away from it ALL.

Good base for Yosemite
Large house, good base for visiting Yosemite. Nice lake and various activities in the complex. Feel that a lack of wifi (as mentioned in the booking info) is a bit inconvenient, but if you park outside the local grocery store you can get online. Kids loved the deer roaming around the area. I'd recommend that you bring as much food with you and fill up with gas before you arrive, it's quite expensive around here due to its location.

Yosemite!
Great property and location. Beautiful surroundings. Stayed in July and traveled into Yosemite valley each day. Approx 30 minutes to the main gate. Phenomenal scenery and experience. Entire family loved it. The property is very cosy, spacious and charming. Very clean. Kids loved the pool table and darts. Very comfy chairs in family room. Good facilities in kitchen and nice big fridge freezer. Looks like the electric goods have not been replaced for years, but they were made when things were built to last and they all worked absolutely fine. It added to the charm and timelessness of the place. Only complaint was the bed in the master suite was a bit uncomfortable - very soft and creaky. If that was upgraded it would be perfect. Would stay again regardless.

Not quite what we expected
Location is great - near the lake and all the amenities. We enjoyed Pine Mountain Lake! The house looked like the photos and was clean, but has fallen into disrepair. The kitchen is stocked well, and there is plenty of room in the house. The swing on the back porch is nice - good place to see deer in the morning.

Lovrly house
Really nice house in a really nice place. We had a great time. The only reason I rated 4 and not 5 is because it doesn't provide internet and there's not cell service in this area which is great to disconnect but it also makes difficult to plan routes or anything else for your trips during the day.
