Out the sliding glass doors, you'll find a large deck with a gas grill, patio table, and furniture for sitting out and enjoying the sounds of nature and the smell of the fresh pine breeze.

Downstairs is a large game room that will provide entertainment for hours. Here, you'll enjoy a pool table, Ping-Pong table, foosball, and a dart board. A den upstairs provides a nice sanctuary for getting work done or just relaxing in quiet. Also, a table here makes for a great place to play poker!

This house is perfect for a family or a group of friends - Pine Mountain Lake offers a ton of activities in its beautiful, wooded landscape, such as fishing, swimming, and boating on the community lake (though please note that motorized boats are not allowed and that guests must rent from the marina).

House has everything we needed, 4 bedrooms, game room, very clean and comfortable.
Great cabin for large families. Master bedroom and bathroom is located upstairs. Thee additional full bathroom, 2nd bedroom s located on the main floor the additional 2 bedrooms are located downstairs. Lots of stairs not suitable for older individuals or toddlers.
Clean home with plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen had all the dishws we needed. Thanks for having gas for the BBQ, came in handy. Did not give 5 stars as the AC was not working. Some repairs needed around the house, e.g, not all windows could open and some were pretty hard to open. That coupled with AC not working made for a very warm getaway on a warm weekend. Great play room in the garage too, but all pool Q sticks are broken.
We did NOT have a pleasant stay here. We have many complaints but I'll try to condense to the most frustrating: -check in time was 4pm. We arrived at 4pm, pouring rain with kids ready to get out of the car. Because the cleaners were still there we did not get into the house until 6pm. So we sat in our car for two hours. -The house lists a gas fireplace. We couldn't get the fireplace to work. There was detailed instructions on how to turn it on, which didn't work. When we asked about it we were told it hasn't worked in ages. The house lists this an an amenity. -The master bedroom had no working lights. This turned out to be an issue with the fan pull but the fan is 12 feet up in the air, no way to get to it, and by the time they fixed this issue it was our last night there. -There was something FOUL in the clothes dryer. Filthy and smelled really bed. -Another amenity listed, and the reason we chose this location, was the game room. The problem here was many of the games are broken or so worn that you can't have an effective game. Kids were largely disappointed by this. -Another listed amenity was cable. We couldn't get any of the TV's to work with cable. In the end we just watched things on the laptop. -Bad leak in one of the bathrooms so the floor was in a constant state of wet. Shower door wouldn't close. -The house had 3 forks. We had 8 people. It made salad night interesting. In general this place is really run down and need of repair. When presented with these issues, we got little to nothing in the way of concessions, just an assurance that isn't up to their standards. But nothing was done about it other than to send someone to hand us a box of lightbulbs. Avoid this house until it gets some upgrades and gets stocked like a proper vacation rental.
We stayed here in April 2022. The place is nice - the deck, the fireplace, proximal to the lake (as mentioned in the reviews from last year, the carpets definitely need replacement). The low rating stems from the fact that heater wasn't working and there was no support after hours. On Day 2, the understanding was that the service staff will fix the issue in the evening but there was no follow up. It got quite cold at night and thus, was not pleasant with the heater not working.
Everything was perfect.
Upon pulling up to the property the 1st thing that I noticed was the window overhangings had mold growing on them. As on them. As well as the middle level bathroom toilet had mold in it.. Overall the layout of the house was great. A lot of the game room stuff was not functioning or broken. The driveway
We stayed here recently as a convenient location to visit Yosemite. The house suited my family (4 small boys) well with everybody having their own bed. The kids especially enjoyed the game room in the garage, which was also nice when they woke up in the early morning. There is a grocery store nearby for food and nearby restaurants as well. Really happy with this stay!
We’ll stocked kitchen. Game room with plenty of activities. Nice card table. Great for kids. A short drive to Pine Mountain Lake.
The house looks clean and well taken care of. Check-in was seamless after our long drive. Beds and furniture was comfortable. Board Games upstairs was nice. TVs in each room for night time entertainment. The stairs and decking were weathered and could use a good touch up. Here is the big BUT....We chose the house over others because of the game room (it's even in the title). The ping pong table was kind of warped and water damaged, paddles were no good. Had lots of parts of darts, but not enough for a single dart. The big one was the pool table that had 4 cues (sticks) but all were missing tips or broken. Basketball hoops was ok. Flat balls, found pump later. Game room = 0 Stars Should save money on the satellite subscription. few local channels and a thousand info-mercial channels. Thankfully we brought our own Roku. Had Xbox (didn't try it) downstairs with Roku TV a plus. TV Entertainment = 1 Star Recommend listing pictures be updated. Some furniture (chairs) were either different or missing. Living room floor shows carpet, but had newer hard floors (a plus). The picture of the front doesn't reflect the actual driveway because it is a little steeper and trickier to maneuver than it shows. (not an issue for our big SUV) Yosemite and PML was great as always. It was severely disappointing that the game room of this house was unsatisfactory since we had other homes that we were ready to choose. The very sad part of this experience was we contacted the focal person who on the email for Local Management regarding the issues we had and heard nothing back. I sent a second email and NOTHING. We didn't let this hurt our stay or the memories that we created as a family, but definitely made us feel a little deceived and left out to dry. Hope you have a better experience.
Nice and cozy it was just me and my brother in laws and we were very happy with the property. Make sure you bring necessities coffee filters, spices, etc. overall we were happy with the cabin, location, and all these above. After looking at other reviews I must re assure you it was a very clean and spacious cabin so don’t be worried about others opinions. Yes, it’s a little older but has just about everything you need! We will definitely revisit!
