Relax at Lake Front Luxury Lodge-Near Yosemite-Pool Table-Private Dock & Lake -2

Award-Winning Lakefront Lodge -- Award-Winning Design and Floor Plan -- Professionally designed by a professional interior designer. Lakefront on a Private Lake (Private Dock and Deck by the Lake), 6 Bedrooms (Sleeps 20- see description below), 4 Bathrooms, 2 Living Rooms, Game Room/Family Room (Pool Table and Card Table), Patio, and 3 Decks on 3 Levels, Fire Pit, 2 Fireplaces, and Wood-Burning Stove.

This Lakefront Lodge sits on a Private Lake in an Exclusive, Private, Gated State and Federal Wildlife Preserve near Stanislaus National Forest, Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, and Yosemite National Park.

As a guest, you can go to one of 3 Beaches and the Marina, where you can play in the sand, swim, play volleyball, order ice cream and other goodies, and rent boats. Go to Fisherman's Cove and fish. Go to the Country Club and have dinner, Play Golf, practice swings at the Driving Range, or use the Pool. Go to the Equestrian Center for riding lessons, a horse ride, or just to look around at the horses. Go to the Tennis and Pickleball courts or the Horseshoe Pits and play a game. Go for a walk on the many trails, or "Do the Loop," as we call it (we are on a one-way road with very little traffic, so you can walk the lower road and then the upper road in a Loop).

Owners and guests have access to many amenities; many are private to owners and guests, including the Lake and the three Beaches. Here are additional details of just one, the Main Beach and Marina:
The marina is a great place to go, with the lake, the Marina Store, and the Lakeside Café. It also has a large grassy area with picnic tables and barbeques. A sandy beach area is perfect for building sandcastles or nestling your toes in the sand. A roped-off area is designed for swimming. If you’re looking for an activity, you can rent various boats, including pedal boats, family cruisers, fishing boats, stand-up paddleboards, and kayaks. There are also volleyball and bocce ball courts. Best of all, there is food. The Lakeside Café offers snacks, meals, soda, milkshakes, iced coffee, and soft-serve ice cream.

This is not a party house. If you are looking for a serene, quiet place to rest with family and friends, a retreat, or a business meeting, this is your house.

Enjoy a vacation nestled in tall pines at Pine Mountain Lake in our Lakefront Lodge, about 30 minutes from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and Yosemite National Park. **SPECIAL NOTE: We Have A Massive Standby Commercial Automatic Generator For All Power Needs During Unlikely Outages. **

Being a lakefront house has wonderful benefits... It's just down a pathway to the dock and deck on the lake, and a short walk to the Marina, where you can play in the sand, swim, play volleyball, order ice cream and other goodies, and rent boats. We've gone the extra mile with super-fast business internet and a whole-house generator for power outages.

One unique aspect of our home is the many special places people can retreat to for privacy. Although your family or group may be large, one can get away to all the nooks of our home/property, from the two living rooms, family room, hall game area, the two small private decks on the third floor, as well as the large main deck, the patio area, and the dock deck, the loft, the window bench seat, and the dock itself.

We also live on a quiet one-way road off the main road, which makes a large circle perfect for a good, solid walk up some hills and back down, another way to find some quiet time. Being with family and friends is important and rewarding, but some separation can also create small, meaningful talks and moments of reflection while you're with the people you care about most.

The Main Floor, featuring the Main Living Room, Kitchen/Dining Area, Bathroom, Two Bedrooms, and Main Deck, is just one step from the driveway for those with disabilities or special needs.

Hosts
April and Bill are available by phone anytime and in person for emergencies. We have been in the community since 1980, so we have access to many friends, neighbors, and tradesmen in the area who can assist us with any issues or concerns. We live 3.5 hours away and come up frequently between reservations to clean and maintain our home. We are often available in the summer when guests check in or out, so we can help you with any questions. If you arrive when we can't be there, or if it's late in the evening, the front door has a combination lock that you can access once your reservation is confirmed.

Parking
We have parking for 5 vehicles on the property, and additional parking is about 5 minutes away. We will call in the passes for 5 vehicles. The Homeowners Association collects a one-time per-vehicle fee at the main gate to offset expenses such as 24-hour security, a manned 24-hour gate, a private lake, and other amenities.

Beds/Cleaning:
Our Signature Clean Bed Policy - Unlike many hotels and especially vacation home rentals, which don't wash the duvets/comforters and blankets very often, if at all (most don't even put blankets or top sheets on the bed), we wash ALL sheets, blankets, and duvets IN BETWEEN EACH AND EVERY GUEST STAY and all mattress toppers, comforters, and pillow protectors regularly. Yes, this creates a lot of laundry and time spent making beds, but we firmly believe clean, comfortable beds and quality linens are an absolute requirement. Our motto is: if we want that for our vacation, we provide it for your vacation.

Please ask about pets.

NO SMOKING, PLEASE - This is a smoke-free home. If you smoke, please do so outside and ensure that the smoke doesn't flow back into the house through open sliders.

Available tours:
We also offer Guided Yosemite Group Tours, Hikes, Sightseeing, Fly Fishing, Backpacking, Snowshoeing, Rafting, and more. The Tours can be for a day or several days, depending on the time of year. We can arrange the following adventures: In Groveland: Historic Groveland Happy Hour Walk; In Yosemite: Yosemite Valley Group Nature Walk, Vista Hike, Summit Hike, Giant Sequoia Hike, Valley Tour, Valley Discovery Tour, Valley Tour with BBQ, "Just One Day" Hike and Sightseeing; Snowshoeing: Vernal Falls, Dewey Point, Mirror Lake, Giant Sequoia; Fly Fishing: Solo Angler's Adventure, Experienced Angler's Adventure, High Country Adventure, Tuolumne Adventure; and more (please ask for more information).
