Beautiful Family Home at Pine Mtn. Lake - Deck,A/C, Wifi nearYosemite

We had a relaxing stay with our family. Paulina was very responsive and accommodating. The open-concept kitchen was our favorite—spacious, well stocked, and perfect for making meals together.The only suggestion would be to update some of the furniture. The kitchen table chair cushions felt unstable, the couch was quite firm, and the mattresses (except for the king bed) were very firm according to several family members.Overall, it was a good stay and we enjoyed our time as a family.

We had a great stay overall. The house is comfortable and mostly well equipped. The layout is great and accommodated our family of four very comfortably. We didn't have to communicate with the host during our stay with the exception of the check-in process because the owner was still onsite when we arrived. We inquired about extra trash bins knowing we may generate a good amount of trash during our week-long stay, and the extra bins were promptly dropped off the next day. All the major appliances worked great - dishwasher, fridge, washer/dryer, and most importantly A/C. There is no hot tub at the house but it's not anything we cared about.There were just a few negatives we noted during our stay:- The house could us a professional deep cleaning, including vents. There was a lingering smell that we couldn't air out no matter how much we kept the windows open. There are spider webs throughout. And some of the provided bedding was stained (luckily we always bring our own).- Master bath needs additional hanging hooks/racks. The single towel bar that's there is not enough for two people to hang two bath towels and two hand towels.- The Wi-Fi was very slow (under 2 Mbps download speed). It wasn't possible to be on conference/video calls (important for anyone planning to work remotely during their stay). The streaming services on TV kept buffering.

I should have known better, but I rented the property anyway. There’s a very steep (about 35 degree angle) driveway and then a steep 19 step staircase to get into the house. That’s after driving up a very steep hill. (The address of Upper Skyridge Drive should have been a giveaway, shame on me for not catching it.) I believe the driveway would be scary-dangerous in winter, so I’m happy to have been there during warm weather. Once inside, the interior is well appointed, except for a few personal preferences. I prefer two sheets on the bed, we got one sheet. I prefer to use a washcloth when bathing, none were provided. I prefer internet service that’s consistent, this one was very spotty. Internet service had to be reset each morning. I prefer cookware that is useable, compared to the scratched and damaged pots and pans that were provided. The washer-dryer worked well. The toaster and coffee maker worked, but the wrong size and type of filter is provided. The oven, stove, and dishwasher worked. I could go on but will stop there.
