Located just a few minutes from downtown Groveland, the Guide Guys Lodge is a private countryside residence with three guest rooms upstairs, a living room, dining room, kitchen and nearly wrap-around porch. The lower lodge level is an 800 square foot studio with a queen bed, two double futons, patio and a kitchenette.
The home can be rented as one unit sleeping up to 14 people or guests can rent just the lower lodge, or all of the upper lodge or each of the upper lodge rooms individually.
