Mule Deer Cabin

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!

Pretty place but bedding was a nightmare & there were no clean ones to change into at night
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.

Beautiful and Cleanest house!
If you like a beautiful and clean house...I highly recommend it. Even the pictures do not do it justice. It was so spacious for our family of 4. It was one of the cleanest that we have stayed in. The deer were such a sweet surprise. From the house to Yosemite valley floor was about 1 hour and 14 mins. There is a $40.00 fee that is charged when you enter the community that you have to pay outside of VRBO. AT&T service was full bars at 5G. The WIFI worked great. Also, there were no extra cleaning supplies so you might want to bring your own, Overall, we would 100% rent this house again!

Nice house in north (far) side of the community
We had a nice stay overall. The house is in the north side of the pine lake community, and a bit far from the main entrance. It's close to another entrance which can be used to leave but not enter for guests. The area is quiet and we saw deer lingering around every day. This house itself is nice, but for some reason none of the windows had proper curtains installed. Most of them just had a temporary paper shade that you can buy from HD for about $10, which doesn't block much light. And one downstairs bedroom didn't have a shade at all. This doesn't match the rest of the house. The house has 3 stories. The outside temperature was above 90 degrees when we stayed, and with the A/C on, the downstairs is a bit on the cold side while the upstairs is warm. We saw small paper pieces on the carpet, so not sure if it was thoroughly vacuumed.

Just what we needed.
This property was just what we needed for our trip to Yosemite with a group of hiking friends. Unfortunately it was much hotter outside than we had planned so many of our hikes in the area were not an option. The drive into Yosemite was well over an hour every day. The house was plenty spacious for all our indoor needs.

groveland stay
The house is exactly the same as the description. The community is very family oriented. The only complain i have is that we are missing remotes for the TV and DVD. So if you are staying for more than 2 days, is best to make sure they are available. Also, they should have bigger pots for the house. For a family that loves to cook, what they provided for cooking will not be sufficient enough. Lastly, management should fix the stove, one stove top is not working.

Great house - same as listed except “gourmet kitchen”. The kitchen is modern but does not have the things you need to cook- needs a cookie sheet, foil, more pans. The 2nd floor bedroom is very hot in the summer, even with A/C. Nice house, nice location just needs a few more amenities

Nice house, but a few inconvenient things
Nice modern house, but we were met with a few inconveniences. Check-in instructions should provide address of the Pine Mountain main gate; our GPS for the address of the house took us to a back gate to which we had no access and we had to backtrack several miles to the main gate in order to check in (kind of a hassle after a long drive). House was mostly clean except for kitchen floor where we found coffee grounds, sand, and crumbs. Washing machine was out of order and we were not informed. House has 3 levels; bottom level was freezing, middle was fine, top level was very warm. We were not provided detergent for the dishwasher, and the pots and colander are quite worn. Also, we could have used a few extra pillows. Lastly, the trash bins outside needed to be emptied. Other than that, the house is situated near a cute lake and community that is a little over an hour from Yosemite. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us, and we enjoyed the deck very much. It is a bit more isolated than we expected, but still a nice getaway.

Amazing house and incredibly clean!
My family and I (husband, 2 small children) absolutely loved this house. It's located in a quiet community and the owners have tons of entertainment available with a Smart TV and board games, not to mention the location which is outside of Yosemite (and the reason for our trip). Tons of space, incredibly clean and very comfortable! We would definitely stay here again!!

Convenient access to Yosemite, but home is lacking hospitality
We have been renting vacation houses for the past nine years and in all honesty were quite disappointed with this home. The house itself could be described as "bare-boned" clean and comfortable. After a long day of traveling, the last thing I expected was to have to make up every bed in the house so that our family could go to sleep. The basement, where the kids slept, was very cold and there was only one extra blanket to be found in the house. The other option for the kids to sleep was a bonus room area above the garage which was stifling hot. There was no "guest book" that had any kind of instructions or suggestions for local eating or activities. We were able to speak to some of the residents in the neighborhood who were very friendly and gave good recommendations. There were no easy instructions for operating the TV, just owner manuals left on the hearth of the fireplace. We had to contact the property management to obtain the internet password as it was never given to us or left in a "guest book". The property management was very responsive and helpful. They came out the first night to address a beeping smoke detector in the basement. The kitchen is very sparse. There was nothing to cook broccoli in except the dishes, which were scalding hot trying to remove from the microwave. The garbage cans outside were already 2/3rds full. The dryer in the home needs to be replaced. It took SIX hours to dry one medium sized load of clothes! The positive things to say about this home is that it is located in a very quiet neighborhood and it was fun to watch the deer wander around the home. While this home may work for some, it just missed the mark for our family.

Great house!
We came here to visit Yosemite. It was about an hour's drive from the house to Yosemite Valley, so we were gone most of each day. The house is very nice and is upscale. There were only 4 in our party, but the house would probably comfortably hold twice that number. It was very clean, had great WIFI, nice appliances, good washer and dryer, and nice furniture. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood. We cooked there several times and had our meals on the back deck. Lovely views and there are several deer that are out back most evenings. It was a great place and we highly recommend it. We will stay again if we get back that way.

Very nice home but too many snafu's & a bit far from Yosemite (1 hr 20min to Curry Village)
A very pretty home. Kids loved it. Modern, updated and comfortable as longs as you are staying in the master suite on the first floor. Few issues we had made the stay just ok though - but the management was quick to help rectify where they could. - we arrived at night to find no sheets on the beds. All sheets were in a trash bag by the front door. I guess a cleaning snafu, but after a long drive we were not psyched to make 6 beds. No hot water during our stay. We ran the showers a while until it was clear it wasn't happening. The other bedrooms have issues, especially in the hot summer months we stayed: -Upstairs bedroom with two bunks was unusable due to the fact that the A/C did not reach. One ceiling fan was insufficient. My wife and one child slept in the living room. Although when we called management brought two big fans, it was still too hot. -Downstairs bedrooms (2) are nice, although with the A/C on, it get super cold. So regulating the AC was difficult with the top floor issues and the bottom floor. Also, the bedroom downstairs with one queen bed has no windows, feels kinda claustrophobic. Silly small things: -No large garbage can, just a tiny one. We also rent a house, and know that you should provide renters with an easy way to dispose of trash. Suggest owners purchase a 13 gallon garbage can and put in laundry room off kitchen. -limited pots, pans - small things make a difference. Just maybe get a few extra pots :-) Wifi was ok - not great. But other than that, it was a good stay. Agian, the house is pretty and modern, but there were enough issues that made it not relaxing as it should have been. Thanks
