What a wonderful retreat in the woods! We loved our weekend in this immaculate, thoughtfully-appointed home. At night, the stars were amazing, and during the day we could see glimpses of the lake through the trees.10/10 would come back in the future!

The property was perfect and as described. It is especially nice for families.The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. We even had access to the local marina and swimming area, which we took advantage of. Yosemite entrance is about a 35 to 40 minute drive and highly accessible. I would stay here 100 times over!

Overall it was a nice property and a great place to stay for a trip to Yosemite. The game room, BBQ grill and fire pit made it extra fun for our family. The kitchen was well equipped. It basically had everything we needed and at a beautiful location. The only things is on the listing it said 2 minute walk to the lake... I'm not sure how you would do that (we tried, but it seemed like we would have to walk through other properties - maybe we just went the wrong way). And one thing that could have been more clear upfront... non-owners can not park on weekends/holidays at the marina. That caused us some confusion when we saw that sign until we realized that you could park on the street outside the marina and walk in. It would be good to make that clear on the listing, just to avoid confusion, since the marina/beach area is one of the main attractions in the area (and the first picture in the listing).

Thank you guys for staying, glad you enjoyed the property and food prep amenities. Everyone staying as a visitor does have to use one of the 3 lake access beaches, and on weekends in the summer the parking lot at the marina is limited to home owners, Dunn ct and the lake lodge and fisherman’s cove parking lots are open to everyone. We really perfer the lake lodge beach. Also you are correct there is no 2 minute walk to lake access from our house it’s about 15 mins depending on if you walk out the front of the property or down the hill to skyridge. We usually drive and park when accessing the beaches. Glad you guys enjoyed your stay sorry for any confusion please come visit us agian.

Thanksgiving in Yosemite

This was a perfect getaway for our family. We spent a memorable Thanksgiving visiting one of God’s most beautiful creations. The kitchen was perfect for us to prepare a beautiful Thanksgiving spread and we spent the rest of the week hiking, exploring, and making memories! Awesome property and amazing hosts!

Wonderful lake vacation

Our stay was absolutely wonderful and the property lived up to the 10 ratings! Everything was perfect and true to the listing. Was one of the most comfortable rentals we have stayed at and had everything we needed and more. It was great to be there during the week as weekends get crowded and renters cannot park at the marina. We plan to come back!

Nature(lly) Wonderful at Blacktail Pines

This is a great property if you want to get away from it all, but still have all the comforts of home! Everything you need for a great vacation is here either at the house (pool table, ping pong, horse shoes, darts, board and card games) or in the vicinity (lake, boating, pool, horseback riding, golf and the amazing Yosemite)! We really had a great time and will come back soon!
