Hike the many trails, swimming pool, tennis courts, archery and more!

See the area the way the pioneers did—on horseback. Horseback ride through the countryside at the Pine Mountain Lake Equestrian Center.

Yosemite National Park
Located just 33 miles from our house is Yosemite National Park . It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Yosemite is best known for its waterfalls, rivers, towering granite monoliths, deep valleys and ancient giant sequoias a vast wilderness area, and much more within its nearly 1,200 square miles of parkland for you to explore.

Groveland
Groveland is a quaint, historic town that played key roles in the California Gold Rush and in the history of Yosemite.
It is a gateway to the Stanislaus National Forest and is known for the historic Iron Door Saloon.
This town is part of the Mark Twain Bret Harte Trail. A treasure of natural wonders and lively gold rush history.
Most of the Grovland action is on

Stroll down Main Street
One of the most notable businesses downtown is the Iron Door Saloon. Founded in 1852, this is the longest continually operating saloon in all of California. Step up to the bar, which is the original from when it first opened, and order one of their signature drinks. You'll quickly be transported back through time to the Old West. 

You’ll find good food, drinks and live music at the Groveland Hotel and the Hotel Charlotte.
For coffee and nature lovers the best spot is Mountain Sage further down the Hwy 120.

Just west of Groveland on Highway 120, Around the Horn Brewing Company is a fun-spirited micro brewery where there's something for everyone, including those who don't particularly care for beer. Their beers are always changing, so there's no getting bored there.
Groveland Museum
Not only was Groveland a key town during the Gold Rush, it was also the base of operations when the O'Shaughnessy Dam was being constructed to form Hetch Hetchy Reservoir that would provide San Francisco with a stable water source.
The Groveland Yosemite Gateway Museum located next to the local library was founded to keep the many stories of the community (natural and cultural) alive, and share them to the many visitors who come through the area. 
Jump of a Rock
Rainbow pool a secret local spot is located nearby off the Hwy 120. You can relax on a warm rock or swim in the pool while watching people jump into the waterfall pool .

Hike the many trails


Groveland is the Gateway to Yosemite and is surrounded by Stanislaus National Forest, as such no trip here would be complete without exploring at least a few of the many hiking trails. Hiking is the #1 visitor activity in Tuolumne County after all. There are many trails to choose with a great selection of difficulties and terrains, such as the Carlon Falls Trail and Wapama Falls Trail at Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. You can choose to explore yourself, but a great option is to take a guided hike to find the true hidden gems of the area.

Embark on a White Water Adventure


World-famous whitewater rafting offers everything from float boats to Class 5 runs on the Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers. The Wild and Scenic Tuolumne, named #1 rafting river by the San Francisco Chronicle, is California’s premier wilderness whitewater.

Bike in the Woods


Tuolumne County offers up some of the most fun on two wheels around. Road and mountain biking is evolving fast in Tuolumne County, and whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned veteran of the cycling world, there’s a trail with your name on it. The Ferretti Road Non-Motorized Trail Network just outside of Groveland includes 1.3 miles of bike-only trail that can riden in any direction and features long drops, log  ride, jumps, berms, and rollers.
After all that action you’ll be ready to relax

Melt Away in Relaxation


The brand new indoor/outdoor spa at Rush Creek Lodge at Yosemite is filled with extraordinary elements inspired by the natural beauty and power of Yosemite. Imagination has taken form with Warm Waterfall Coves, Aromatherapy Steam Room, and Himalayan Salt Sauna leading to a Cool Mist Room and an innovative Sensory Room that will genuinely transform you.

Additional information
Cleaning Fee is $200 for the entire stay. This goes directly to the cleaning service.

Surrounding area
Visit Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. The reservoir inside of Yosemite is accessible without a reservation! Enjoy spectacular scenery while hiking around the reservoir that is the water source for much of San Francisco.

Rent a boat, swim, fish or hike at Lake Don Pedro, one of California’s stunning massive reservoirs. Now dog-friendly.

Visit Jamestown where several of the town’s buildings that date back to the 1870s and 1880s are occupied by quaint historic inns, restaurants, shops, brewery and wine tasting room. See the historic “movie star locomotive,” the Sierra No. 3®, take a ride on famous Sierra No. 28 and go on a tour of one of the few remaining working railroad roundhouses in America at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park.

Step back into California’s Gold Rush history in Columbia State Historic Park where you can stroll along wooden sidewalks, ride an authentic stagecoach (your dog can too!), pan for gold and chat with knowledgeable and friendly townspeople dressed in period attire.

Wine taste or see live music I’m Murphy’s.

PML Family Vacation - Perfect Rental!!!
We have been renting in PML for 20+ years, and this home is truly one of the best we’ve stayed in. The owner, Megan, is the most gracious host I’ve ever dealt with. She really cares that you enjoy your stay, and goes above and beyond! Our family of 9, including two little ones had everything needed and more. The house is very spacious with plenty of room for larger families. You can tell there’s been a lot of thought put in to make it feel like home. There were deer roaming, just off the back deck which the kids loved! We had the best time, and can’t wait to return. Thank you for sharing your home, Megan!

Great location for a family gathering
Our family of 9 (ages 2-70) spent 5 nights here. Megan was very responsive to the few issues we had. The house was spacious enough for all of us. The master bedroom large closet worked well for having the pack-n-play setup in a very quiet location. We enjoyed the pool table. It was nice to have supplies such as ziploc bags and aluminum foil. The grocery store is close by and well stocked. The lake was WONDERFUL... It was a hot week so we went twice a day. The older kids enjoyed the platform for jumping off. The 2 year old found the warmer water and lack of waves wonderful for getting comfortable with the water. There were plenty of beach towels at the house and sand toys as well. We bought a couple of rafts/floats from the Marina store. They would have been cheaper from Target so get them there beforehand. We took the free water taxi for fun to see the rest of the lake. We used the fishing pier for fishing, a few went horseback riding and we used the golf course as well. The pool is not open for guests until noon and was quite crowded, so we only went there once. We would consider going here again.

House had everything we needed and close to the lake and local supermarket and restaurants. Owner was very helpful and responsive. Queuing up to enter the neighborhood was annoying. Also having to park on the street at the weekend down by the lake. We went to Hetch Hetchy reservoir although the hike was too long for the baby and 3 year old. We all enjoyed Rainbow Pool and Columbia State Park. A few of our family members went to Yosemite Valley and enjoyed the spectacular views. Overall it was a great vacation and everyone was comfortable in this beautiful home. Thank you for allowing us to stay and thanks for the complimentary wine. I would suggest giving your guests at least two door keys instead of the one.

Great property and location
We enjoyed our stay at this property. The home was well appointed with everything we needed. All we brought was our food and clothing. The surrounding community (HOA) had a great swimming lake, snack bar (ideal for teenagers), lake boat rides, fun fishing, a pool and of course Yosemite National Park was only 1 1/2 hours away. The town of Groveland is a cute as can be and the nearby grocery store was convenient. My group of 10 definitely wants to return. Thank you Megan. This was a great stay!

Perfect for a family vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is large, which is what we needed for my wife and me, a daughter and her husband and two children (ages 3 and 6), and another grown daughter. It's also easy to find, straight down the street from the community entrance, about halfway to the lake. The place was extremely well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, glasses, mugs, blender, toaster--and on and on. Lots of sheets and towels and bed coverings too. The play area in the back--a jungle-gym, two slides, a swing set--as well as the pool table, foosball game, child's train set, and books galore in the downstairs room of the house--made for a fantastic stay for our grandkids. Also, the owner, Megan, was easy to get ahold of when we had questions and very responsive. The only drawbacks that might make a difference for some people is that the lights in the overhead fans in the living and dining rooms were too dim, and the light bulbs in places throughout the house needed replacing--if only so the same type of bulb was in multi-bulb fixtures, like in the bathrooms. Also, the carpeting in the upstairs hallway and bedrooms was quite worn, and the place was not as clean as we would have wanted. (Some dishes in the cupboards needed re-washing.) Still, we're giving this place 5-stars. The positive features far outweighed the not-so-positive. We had a great time, especially given the size and age ranges of our group (3 years to 72 years!)

Fathers Day weekend
We had the best time on our trip to Pine Mountain Lake! First off let me just say that the pics do not do this rental justice. It is much bigger than it seems online. We came up with my older parents and our kids ranging fro 22-4. There was something for everyone to do. We really loved that the downstairs space for the kids. It gave the adults some quiet and separation during down time. I have stayed at several rentals for vacay and this one was BY FAR the most stocked. There are plenty of pots, pans, dishes, towels, bedding etc. We also really enjoyed the close location to the entry gate. It made navigating our activities really easy. We were bummed it was so hot this weekend as we did not get to enjoy the outdoor space as much as I would have liked but man if we decide to come back to visit PML we would def rest here again. So many wonderful memories were made ♥️ PS Megan was super helpful and responded in a timely manner whenever I had a question! 10/10
