Your stay also includes access to the incredible amenities inside the Pine Mountain Lake community: • Lake and sandy beaches • Swimming pool with mountain views • Tennis & pickleball courts • Hiking trails • Equestrian center • Public golf course (green fees apply) Community Entry Fee Pine Mountain Lake is a private, gated community. A one-time $50 fee per vehicle is required upon entry—paid directly to the HOA. This pass is valid for 7 days and covers access to all amenities listed above. All rentals in the area require this fee, which helps maintain the grounds, facilities, and security for guests. We do not get any of the money for it. Other things to note Please drive carefully as there is active wildlife / people walking dogs. Please do not feed wildlife / leave trash out not locked. Please Be Bear Aware! :) Our cabin is located just 25 scenic miles from the Big Oak Flat Entrance to Yosemite National Park — one of the closest and most convenient access points from Groveland. Within 30–40 minutes, you’ll be inside the park and ready to explore: • Yosemite Valley (about 1 hour 15 minutes from the cabin) – iconic spots like El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Tunnel View. • Hetch Hetchy Reservoir (45 minutes away) – a quieter side of Yosemite with stunning hikes and waterfalls. • Tuolumne Meadows (open seasonally, 1.5–2 hours) – alpine lakes, domes, and wildflower-covered trails. The drive to the entrance is beautiful and straightforward. No mountain passes or sketchy roads, making it easy to get in early for hikes or scenic drives. Groveland is the last real town before Yosemite’s Big Oak Flat Gate, so you’ll enjoy: • Great food and supplies nearby (gas, groceries, cafes, restaurants) • Pine Mountain Lake beach, boating, amazing pools, and trails just minutes away. Parking at the Marina specifically during the weekend is reserved for owners access only. You may still use the beach, but guests will have to park elsewhere and walk in. • Historic Gold Rush charm and laid-back Sierra vibes Planning a trip to Yosemite National Park in 2025 requires attention to reservation requirements, which vary by season and park activities.
