We were travelling around California with family and wanted to book something closer to a Yosemite park. This location was perfect. Pine Mountain area is beautiful and the lake is amazing.
The house was easy to find and we loved it a lot. Everything was clean and comfortable.
Check in was easy.
Wish the check out was a bit later at 11:00;)

We loved the spacious home in a peaceful neighborhood, complete with reliable TV and Wi-Fi. The kitchen was very well-equipped (including an outdoor grill), and the property was stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The recently remodeled downstairs room felt fresh and inviting. We also appreciated the large DVD library tucked in the closet and the selection of board games for relaxed evenings
We found the service fees on the booking platform added significantly to our total cost—it's worth comparing rates directly with the property manager to avoid unexpected extras. Upon arrival there’s a mandatory neighborhood access fee ($50 at the time of our stay) charged at the entry gate (valid for 7 days) and subject to long lines—plan for 30+ minute waits during peak times. The on-site amenities are limited to a lake and beach area, which aren’t very useful if you’re primarily visiting Yosemite (over an hour’s drive away). Finally, although the living-room TV supports streaming, no services are preloaded—you must log in and subscribe yourself, and the other TVs only play DVDs.
Finally, we found customer support through the booking site’s help center unresponsive when requesting a price match—the replies were slow and never resolved our issue—whereas direct communication with the host was prompt and professional
