Yosemite Retreat
Our family of seven used this home for exploring and hiking Yosemite. This home is clean, has comfortable furnishings, and a great view of the lake! The kitchen appears to be well furnished but we only ate a light breakfast here before leaving early each morning. On the fourth day of our stay we ate lunch at the Country Club, rented a sailboat and enjoyed the beach in this gated community. It was

Perfect find for our family!
Beautiful (and big!) house in a great location. We rented for the access to Yosemite but we will be back just to enjoy Pine Mountain Lake more. Kitchen was spacious enough for our group and the kids loved having their own room! Morning coffee on the deck with a view of the lake was the best way to start the day. Thank you for your hospitality!

Family friendly vacation
We loved staying in this lake house. This was our 4th annual family trip and first time in this location. It did not disappoint. The home was spacious enough for all 11 of us (aged 72 to 3) 6 adults, 3 teens, and 2 younger kids. Everyone had space and a comfortable bed with nice sheets. The 2 decks were great. We enjoyed the front deck the most since we could see the lake. The views from the living room were beautiful. The secret wine cellar is a nice touch. We looked forward to using the sauna, but did not due to the extreme heat during our stay. We used the lake and the pool, we rented a paddle board and everyone in the family tried something new.We felt the fee at entry per car was very reasonable. We started our adventure with dinner at 2 Guys Pizza which was delicious! We usually visit different places for our annual trip but we just might stay here again next year - it was that good! Thank you Miguel for prompt responses when I had questions.

Will definitely be back
We just finished a 5 night stay at this beautiful property. There were 10 of us (4 adults in 40's, 1 senior and 5 kids from 16-23 years old). Many times we found ourselves saying "the owners of this property did not forget anything". The open floor plan is amazing. We could be cooking in the kitchen and talking to family on the couch 15 feet away. We watched the fireworks from inside the house. Temps were up to 104 during the day and the AC did not have any problems keeping up. This is a SMART house. The power went out a few times (rolling blackouts) and the Generac standby generator automatically kicked in within a few seconds (yes seconds, not minutes) so we were not without power. Thank you Manuel for having us.

Incredible Home, Trip, and Memories!!
This home was so wonderful with it’s great deck seating looking out at Pine Mountain Lake, the great outdoor dining we took advantage of to eat all together, the game room and downstairs area, and large kitchen where we had multiple “chefs” cooking with ease. It was perfect. My adult daughter also got giddy when I told her there was a “secret wine cellar” she had to find. So fun!!!

Great family home!
Our kids and Grandkids joined us for 6 nights. The house was very comfortable with beautiful views. It was roomy enough that we could all spread out and find our favorite spot. The young kids enjoyed the game area down stairs while the adults hung out on the porch upstairs. The house was clean, pictures were accurate and we would rent it again. We had one little problem and the local caretaker came right away and resolved it. A great family vacation spot!

Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious with places for a group to gather or for quiet chats one on one. We especially enjoyed the large covered deck with a wonderful view of the lake but still private and also the fire pit. The dining table seated eight letting us all eat together. The host was responsive via email both before and during our stay. We are talking about returning.

Great House! Poor owner experience and entry process
We like vrbo, but. This has to be my first poor review. The house itself is great. Communication issues: Several times prior to the day of arrival I requested an early arrival time and I got no response. Additional requests were ignored. Some communications were answered promptly. A “welcome” email received the day prior said no entry till 4pm. OK, understood. Entry issues: We arrived (10 til 4) and unloaded the car. at 4pm we put in code. Didn’t work. More attempts – no luck. We rang the “RING” many times leaving messages that “we’re here freezing in blustery cold rain” leaving phone numbers. no callbacks, still no entry. We called the “concierge” and left messages. At 4:40 the concierge called promising to come over. But then gave us another way and by about 4:50 we got in. Once hooked up to the net, I emailed the owner explaining the entire ordeal. He responded acting like I had no reason to complain. also said that he had sent an email 4 hours prior to okay early entry. Thanks but too late. Never got the message. Wouldn’t have mattered anyway as the lock didn’t work. He also said that because I’d asked days earlier if they had cameras inside the house that he thought it best to disable some things. WHAT things, the lock? No clue. Anyway, no apologies. He never even acknowledged that we were inconvenienced! Then the day prior to checkout an email said checkout was 10, not 11 as the welcome email and site says. 5 stars for the house. 2 stars for owner.

Nice View
I enjoyed the property location, It was clean and had everything you needed. However we did not like much the apple siri devices much, a lot of the stuff was not responding to it well and 2 of the fireplaces where not working and could not figure out how to turn them on. Also we did not like paying $46 additional to enter to the property (specially when you have to pay for 3 vehicles), I feel that should be included with the price and the other one would be the check out at 10am was too early specially with small children (harder to wake them up and get them ready). Overall I recommend it. Owner was pretty nice and place was nice and quiet.

Don’t hesitate booking this place! The space is very open, enough room for so many people without feeling crowded. They had everything you may need for a long stay, and it was extremely clean and organized. The patio was peaceful and we got to see two bald eagles nesting just by the lake. Quick drive to Yosemite with good access to food, groceries, and gas. Will be back!

Skyridge House @ Pine Mountain Lake
We stayed at Skyridge House in Pine Mountain Lake for 4-nights. Wow...the moment we walked through the front door we were in love with the place! It is stunning, the view of the lake is beautiful and the house itself is gorgeous. It has an open floor plan, is very bright with lots of skylights, and is tastefully decorated! The owner was very responsive and easy to get in touch with which made our stay even better. We are very grateful for this experience. Thank you, Miguel. Our overall experience was wonderful...it is a great place to stay!

Perfect Mountain Retreat
The pictures do not do this house justice! Very spacious interior; new, contemporary house with rustic touches. Tastefully, and carefully furnished. The kitchen was incredible, with every possible piece of equipment you could need in the huge pantry alone, and more in the over-sized kitchen itself. We loved gathering around the huge island at mealtime. Multiple sets of dishes, sharp knives and very high end appliances. The bedrooms were quiet and the beds super comfortable. The towels and linens are very good quality as well. The fire pit on the hill above the house was beautiful and there is a sauna hidden on the lower level. We had fun finding it! Even though we're on the East coast, we're planning to return. If we could give the house 6 stars we would! The tiny historic town nearby is lovely. You won't regret staying here.

We, two families , stayed at this amazing house while visiting Yosemite and we loved it. Kids ( 6 yrs to 13 yrs) enjoyed the bunk bed room and game room . The house was very well equipped and clean. There were fine details which was an awesome experience like books around the house, binoculars, sauna and wine cellar. Appreciate a quick response from owners in case of any questions.

Luxuriously Spacious Forest Getaway
This property was worth every penny! We stayed here for my husbands 40th birthday and everyone fit comfortably. There is so much space to spread out and get comfy but also plenty of space to come together. We enjoyed game nights at the dining table, playing Bingo in the awesome game room, laughing with our complementary wine around the fire pit, and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery and abundant wildlife. We ventured down to the marina and were lucky enough to catch a beautiful trout, then enjoyed a scenic and brisk walk around the community. The host was wonderful and so responsive with any questions we had. The “secret sauna” was also a pleasant surprise. My favorite part of the trip was sitting on the front porch on a misty morning and seeing a flock of turkeys stroll by. I can’t wait to return to this location in the very near future and highly recommend staying here! Five stars for sure!!!

Fantastic house in gated neighborhood.
This place was fantastic! Everything is very well thought out and the owner has made sure that you have everything you could need when you get there. There are 4 bedrooms spread out over 2 levels and all have on-suite bathrooms. The common areas are awesome - great kitchen and laundry. Huge TVs everywhere with just about every streaming service you could want. Very clean and well maintained. The owner was responsive and easy to communicate with. We used this as a jumping off point for Yosemite and Sequoias, and it was perfect. It's in a wonderful gated community over looking a lake about 5 minutes from the charming town of Groveton. I would highly recommend this place. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and everyone loved it.

Great for a group getaway
This was a wonderful vacation home that suited our needs as an extended family looking for a weekend away together. We had a couple of hiccups with the technology but Miguel was so responsive and helpful, and none of it took away from our experience. We were hoping for a snow weekend which wasn't in the cards due to ongoing lack of snow, but it was a short drive into Yosemite National Park to find some snow to play in. We will definitely be back to take in more of the scenery in different seasons.
