Welcome to **The Cove Lake House**, a family-friendly lakeside retreat at Pine Mountain Lake near Yosemite National Park.

With **4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and space for up to 12 guests**, The Cove is designed for families and friends who want to experience Yosemite while also enjoying a classic California lake house getaway.

It's particularly well suited to **2 to 3 families travelling together**, with plenty of room for adults and children, a dedicated bunk room and a backyard that puts the lake at the centre of your stay.

## LAKE LIFE RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR

One of the best things about The Cove is how easy it makes spending time outdoors together.

The lakeside backyard leads towards the water, and during the summer season, lower lake levels create a **seasonal beach area directly behind the property**.

Grab a paddleboard, head down for a swim, relax by the water or simply let the kids enjoy being outside while the adults settle in for an afternoon by the lake.

Complimentary paddleboards make it easy to get out and explore Pine Mountain Lake without having to organise equipment elsewhere.

## MADE FOR FAMILY GETAWAYS

The Cove isn't designed to be a house where everyone disappears into separate rooms.

It's a place to spend time together.

Fire up the BBQ and make dinner outside. Challenge each other to ping pong or bocce ball. Let the kids enjoy the tree swing. Head down to the lake for an afternoon swim or paddle.

After a day exploring Yosemite, come home, kick off your hiking shoes and enjoy having your own lake house to return to.

There's enough to do at the property that you may find some of your favourite holiday days are the ones when you don't go anywhere at all.

## SLEEPS UP TO 12 GUESTS

The four-bedroom layout works particularly well for families and groups travelling together.

Sleeping arrangements include:

• Master Bedroom: King bed
• Bedroom 2: Queen bed
• Bedroom 3: King bed
• Bunk Room: Dedicated sleeping space for the rest of the group

With **3 bathrooms**, larger groups have the space and flexibility needed for busy mornings before heading to Yosemite and relaxed evenings back at the lake.

## PLENTY TO KEEP EVERYONE ENTERTAINED

The Cove was made for the kind of holiday where adults can relax while children and teenagers have plenty to do.

At the house, enjoy:

• Lakeside backyard
• Seasonal beach access
• Complimentary paddleboards
• Swimming and lake activities
• Ping pong
• Bocce ball
• Tree swing
• BBQ and outdoor gathering space

Whether your group wants an active day on the water or an easy afternoon around the house, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your time together.

## EXPLORE PINE MOUNTAIN LAKE

The Cove Lake House is located inside the gated Pine Mountain Lake community in Groveland, California.

In addition to everything available at the house, guests can enjoy Pine Mountain Lake community amenities including beaches, swimming, golf, pickleball, tennis, fishing, hiking, playgrounds and horseback riding.

That gives your group plenty of options for days when you want to stay closer to home.

## YOSEMITE ADVENTURE + LAKE HOUSE GETAWAY

The Cove gives families the opportunity to combine two very different holidays into one trip.

Wake up early and head into Yosemite National Park for a day of hiking, waterfalls, granite cliffs and unforgettable scenery.

Then come home to the lake.

Change into your swimsuits, grab a paddleboard, fire up the BBQ and spend the rest of the afternoon outside.

Instead of returning from Yosemite to separate hotel rooms, everyone comes back to the same house and gets to keep enjoying the day together.

## PERFECT FOR

The Cove Lake House is particularly well suited to:

• Two or three families travelling together
• Extended-family holidays
• Yosemite National Park adventures
• Summer lake house getaways
• Families travelling with children
• Groups of friends
• Swimming and paddleboarding holidays
• Relaxed mountain escapes

## A FAMILY GETAWAY EVERYONE CAN ENJOY

Family holidays are better when there's something for everyone.

At The Cove, Yosemite provides the adventure while Pine Mountain Lake provides the downtime.

Spend one day exploring one of America's most extraordinary national parks and the next swimming, paddleboarding and relaxing without leaving the property.

Play ping pong. Have a family bocce tournament. Cook dinner outside. Watch the kids head down towards the lake. Sit together after a long day and start planning tomorrow's adventure.

**The Cove Lake House is designed for exactly these kinds of trips: families together, plenty to do and the lake right outside your door.**

    Stayed at the Cove property for a long weekend. It was a perfect size for two families with a wonderful outdoor space. Our kids stayed outside playing games and exploring for almost the entire trip. The layout worked great for our group with a big common area and an upstairs area that allowed the kids to have their own space. I look forward to visiting again!

    We had a great stay! Loved the paddle boards and kayaks. The ping pong and bocci ball was a hit with the kids. The Lake was the perfect temperature and very safe for kids on the paddle boards. House clean and well stocked.

    We really enjoyed our stay. The communication was excellent and they answered my questions very promptly. This house is stocked! From child plates and cups to spices and laundry detergent. We loved taking the kayaks out. The corn hole and bocce was great as well. As with all lakes, the water is a bit low so we had to walk the kayaks out a bit. We saw fish and giant tadpoles in the shallow water which was cool . The AC worked well which was great considering it was 100 degrees. The upstairs has a bedroom with AC but the bunks on the landing area do not so that was pretty hot during the day. They provided a child gate which was great but kiddos can climb to the stairs on the right side if they are persistent. No complaints and we would definitely return and use this host again.

    Modern and comfortable, with all the amenities, well stocked with everything we needed, including lifejackets. Everything in perfect working order. A little warm upstairs, but the window air conditioner helped. The outdoor area with Bocce ball and ping-pong were a real plus.
