Twenty-four foot cathedral ceilings and picture windows frame mountain and forest views.
The fully-equipped kitchen includes a commercial Wolf cooktop, microwave, blender, coffee maker, coffee grinder, dishwasher, and generous collection of pots, pans, and utensils. The large downstairs playroom features a tournament-size, heavy-duty slate pool table.
The inviting upper deck, situated to provide privacy and luxurious outdoor comfort, offers a table, chairs, sun umbrella, and three-burner Vermont Castings gas barbecue.
Our own road down around to the back of our property makes an excellent private sledding run in the winter time. The large double garage and level car-length driveway provide easy access and ample parking.
Escape the summer heat, or enjoy the snow and winter sports. Travel to nearby Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, or the Eastern Sierra. Hike scenic trails. Go on walks led by a trained naturalist from the Summit ranger station.

Map & Owner's Profile
Spacious 3-Level, 2 BR Plus Loft Mountain Home
Year Purchased: 1988
Why the Owner Chose Pinecrest
We have been visiting the Pinecrest area for over twenty-five years and love its peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere and scenic beauty and interest. Away from the heavy traffic and crowds of Tahoe and Yosemite, but close enough for a visit, this lovely part of the Sierra provides all of the activities that people come to the mountains for. Sonora Pass was the earliest route over the Sierra and is one of the highest and most scenic.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Our mountain home was custom built to modern standards in 1988. Among other things, the outside walls were built with 2" x 6"s, instead of the standard 2" x 4"s, allowing for 50 per cent more insulation and strength, which makes the house easy to keep warm and cozy in winter and cooler in summer.
We live on the coast and love to visit the mountains, so we feel we have the best of both worlds. Our house has been well taken care of. It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed.
Owner's Map of Pinecrest
We are a retired couple--a native Californian and transplanted Floridian. We enjoy traveling ourselves and also enjoy providing a happy experience for the travelers who visit our mountain home. We enjoy cooking and think our mountain kitchen reflects that interest. In the photo, we're hiking in the woods behind our cabin, along a creek that runs to the north fork of the Tuolumne River.

We had a lovely time at your cabin and a lovely time in the mountains. I have been going to the Pinecrest area for many years, and each year we return I love it just as much as the first time. Your cabin was lovely, and we so enjoyed ourselves, my niece said she wished that she could live there forever!
