Sleeping up to eight travelers, this crisp, clean Groveland cabin brings the beauty of Northern California right to you, along with all of the essentials to ensure you feel right at home.

Set just 25 miles from Yosemite National Park in the Pine Mountain Lake community in quiet Groveland, you'll have access to a refreshing lake, shared tennis courts, a golf course, seasonal pool, and hiking trails throughout. Although there's no doubt much of your time will be spent exploring awe-inspiring Yosemite, with so many activities within the community, everyone will stay happily occupied even during downtime.

This newer two-story home doesn't need any extra frills, and yet is perfectly and simply decorated to create a welcoming atmosphere to spend quality time with loved ones.

There are plenty of spaces to spread out and let smaller groups enjoy their own activities, though you could also gather everyone together in the living room to watch movies on the flatscreen TV and play board games each night. Head out to breathe in fresh air on the balcony or covered patio, or play a game of air hockey after a day of hiking in Yosemite.

Complete with granite countertops, stainless steel major appliances, and add-ons such as a coffeemaker, dishwasher, microwave, and toaster, the vast kitchen makes meals for the entire crew a breeze. Whip up five-course holiday meals in a jiffy with everyone helping, or easily store quick snacks in the fridge to keep everyone replenished in between thrilling activities.

On warm summer nights, dine out on the patio, and when it's a little too cool, light the living room fireplace and take a seat at the dining table for eight to enjoy a meal. More great amenities here include WiFi and a washer and dryer so you can pack extra light.

With four spacious bedrooms, all eight guests will have a comfortable place to rest each night. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and stunning en suite bathroom with a garden tub and separate shower. A queen-size bed is found in the next bedroom, and the remaining two each have a set of twin bunk beds. There is a second full bathroom with a tub/shower combo and a half bath on the first floor.

Hop in the car and embark on the short 25-mile drive to Yosemite National Park for a day packed with fun. Hikes and sights you won't want to miss can keep you busy in Yosemite for days! Inspiration Point, The Mist Trail, and Mirror Lake are among the more advanced trails. Some easier hikes for all abilities include Glacier Point, Mariposa Grove for an up close view of the world's largest sequoia, and a hike through the Tunnel Tree. The Lower Yosemite Falls trail is less than a mile long and brings you to the base of the tallest waterfall in North America, or you can hike to the top for some incredible views.

Take a break from hiking through the towering forests to try horseback riding tours, water sports, and even skiing and snowboarding in the winter. And don't forget to stick around town and explore Groveland and see the historic sites through shopping, dining, and museum visits. Winter sports are also abundant here and include skiing and snowboarding at Dodge Ridge Ski Resort (58 miles northeast). And Black Oak Casino is 31 miles south.

With everything you'll need in a delightful vacation rental, this Northern California home is just the ticket for your next family or friend getaway, so book now!

    The house in and of itself was fine. It was spacious, fairly well appointed kitchen, really nice coach in the living room, nice grill on the deck, no major complaints. Location was iffy, the house is in a giant gated compound (10 min drive inside the compound). Waiting times to get in at the gate range between a few minutes and half an hour. Did not appreciate having to pay 50 for parking- we were not aware of this fee when we booked. The managing company (Vacasa) was bad to terrible. The house was at 48F when we got in, as the heat was turned off (took close to 12h to get to a livable temperature). There was no internet the first and last day (worked fine in between, after we complained and they came to fix it). Despite asking repeatedly to have our garbage picked up (it is bear county and there was no bear safe thrash can)- nobody came. We had to keep 3 thrash bags inside the home. We had ordered an Amazon package for the house- they refused to let it be delivered through the gate, despite the fact that we accepted liability. Had to go through major issues and drive 50 min to have it picked up from the closest point- in Sonora. So no, we would not stay here again. The owners may want to consider switching the managing company.

    We loved this property! Our kids had a great time and there was plenty of room. Close to Yosemite, and Pine Mountain Lake is fabulous! The internet was pretty bad though, and there was barely enough silverware for 6 people for 1 meal, please bring your own dishwasher tabs and detergent for washing clothes.

    Mule Deer Cabin was good but electricity went away one of those days for few hours. Vacasa customer service was okay when called them for help , representative from Vacasa company were inefficient even to find the reservation or answer any questions

    We loved this rental and would recommend it for all. It's a comfortable high end home perfect for visiting Yosemite. One thing to note, as perfectly explained in the description if you need to work and rely on WiFi this home is not for you. WiFi speeds varied between 2 to 10 mps. Although our T Mobile was at 40 mps, so that hotspot is a always an option.

    Nov.2023 -At first the house looked impeccable. The kids were excited to have a loft with games to play with. The house was big and pretty. Nice neighborhood and about 35 minutes to one of Yosemite's entrances.Several cooking utensils and dishes were dirty but we are pretty easy going and just washed everything that we needed. At night, kids were in bed already up in the loft. My husband was getting our bed ready as I was preparing for a restful time cuddling in bed to watch a movie on our laptop but he found lots of hairs throughout the bedding. Not finding clean beeding anywhere, we went to check the beds downstairs... more hairs & a spot of blood! This was getting worse by the bedroom! Exhausted, we called the local office,closed, then called another #. An hour later after talking with different people and sending them pictures, it was obvious that they couldn't/wouldn't do anything to help to get clean bedding that night. The only solution was to 'wait' until the local office would open the next morning. Frustrated, tired and at this point very late at night, we looked for towels that 'appeared' clean and put them on top of the pillows and mattress. Even some of the towels were so obviously dirty that automatically we just put them on the floor! In the morning after, the local office sent someone with clean sheets. They refunded us only the 'cleaning fee'. I hope that this was just a day that the cleaning people didn't do what they were supposed to.
