Lakeside Groveland Home w/ Hot Tub, Near Yosemite

Reviews

• House in gated community near Yosemite

  5/5

  We stayed at this property on a recent visit to Yosemite. Location was only 30 minutes to the park entrance then to get to Yosemite Valley another 30 minutes. The gated community had lots of wildlife and it was a mile or so drive if you wanted to see the lake. Host was very responsive and gave detailed information. The house was was clean and coffee and basic needs supplied. The outside sitting area and hot tub area needs to be cleaned and updated. We did not use the hottub. But overall the the place suited ourneeds for traveling.

  We had a great stay at this Groveland apartment. The place was sparkling clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Our host was responsive and accommodating.

• Lovely, except...

  4/5

  Overall the house was very clean (more about this to come), comfortable, and well-provisioned. The electric fireplace was a nice touch, as was the wood burning fireplace (although rather smokey to get started, so be prepared to open doors). The instructions could be updated to more clearly explain how to turn on the hot tub and heater, but the hosts were available to explain via phone/text. The one problem, which caused me to lower my rating, was the hot tub sanitation...black mold all over the filter compartment, nothing in the sanitizing floater, and the water smelled bad (and that's saying a lot for what is normally wonderful mountain water). We didn't see the mold and all until late the second day, so couldn't notify the hosts until the next day...told them I'd appreciate a partial refund as the hot tub was a main reason I booked their house. I got a response the next day that they'd try to get a technician out to fix things. I declined as we didn't want to see a worker while on our last day of vacation...pretty much wouldn't get to use it anyway. I haven't heard back from the hosts about a partial refund.

• A nice place to stay with family.

  5/5

  My family of 4 had a wonderful relaxing weekend here. My kids (age 8 and 11) enjoyed the pac man game and ping pong tables in the garage. The beds were very comfortable. The house is very inviting and equipped with everything you might need. We also enjoyed the nice sitting area in the backyard. You are few minutes drive to the lake and the temperature of the lake was awesome. It was quite a hot weekend so we really enjoyed just floating in the water and relaxing. I would stay here again!

  We were here at the very beginning of the new year. The community around here is very quite this time of the year. The house was good and comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the hot tub. Overall we had a good time.
