About this property

Spacious home with seasonal lake access. Pet friendly!

Welcome to our hidden gem at Cove's End!

Our lake house truly is hidden among the pine and oak trees as it sits on a merged lot at the end of the cove. Life is better at the lake! Especially with a private dock with seasonal lake access (typically March to early August) and your choice of 2 kayaks, 2 stand-up paddle boards and a paddle boat.

Experience movie night on the 85" 4K Samsung TV, powered by high speed internet (100+ mbps).

Enjoy grilling your favorite dish on the Traeger Grill and creating other masterpieces in the large open kitchen. Then gather with loved ones at the large dining room table or dine al fresco on the deck overlooking the cove.

The game room is the perfect hangout spot to watch the big game and play some games of your own. Challenge your friends or family to a game of pool, chess, checkers, giant jenga, Centipede, Golden Tee, Mortal Kombat or a wide variety of board games and card games. Continue in the backyard with a game of ping-pong.

And when its time to turn in for the night, relax in one of the 3 main level bedrooms (2 cal-king beds and one queen bed), or bunk with your friends or family in the large downstairs bunk room (two sets of bunk beds and a trundle bed). For extra sleeping arrangements, the sofa in the game room converts to a bed as well.

Enjoy the lake house year round, with two freestanding fireplaces (one on each level), and central heating and air conditioning. Just over an hour to Dodge Ridge, Cove's End is the perfect base camp for all your adventures in and near Yosemite.

Pine Mountain Lake Amenities:
Located in the gated Pine Mountain Lake resort, enjoy access to golf, horseback riding, tennis and pickleball courts, a shared pool, and three beaches. During the summer months, the Marina also offers boat rentals (sailboat, fishing boat, paddle boat, kayak, paddle board) and dining at the Lakeside Cafe.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a fantastic weekend at Cove's End! The location right on the water was unbeatable—we loved using the kayaks, SUP, and pedal boat, watching local wildlife, and taking the easy 10-minute walk to Dunn Court Beach. It’s also just a quick drive to the Marina, as well as the main exit to grab groceries and eat at restaurants in Groveland.The house was spotless, spacious, and extremely well-equipped. There was plenty of comfortable seating for our party of 9 during movie nights, a great kitchen and dining space, and the downstairs game room kept the kids entertained for hours. The gated outdoor patios made it super easy and safe to let our dogs lounge outside with us. The host was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and quick to respond from start to finish. We’d love to stay here again!

The house was clean and it fit the bill We did have an issue with road work in front of the house. We contacted Tyson and everything was resolved. We loved the wildlife around the property. wild turkeys, deer, and squirrels. My favorite was the family of woodpeckers and other numerous bird life.

We were hoping for warm sunny weather so we could use the kayaks, SUPs, and peddle boat with the lake access, but Mother Nature had other plans with thunderstorms, heavy rain, and hail! However, there are so many fun games and arcade games, pool, and ping pong that we had an amazing time while in Groveland. So close to Yosemite! We had ample room and a well stocked kitchen. Bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and each room had a theme. We will be back!!

Hidden gem by the lake

We spent 4 nights at this wonderful hidden place during the tail end of the pandemic. 2 families with 5 kids. The house was spacious, lots of room to comfortably fit everyone, with a wonderful deck to enjoy the scenery and some yoga. The kids enjoyed the game room, the swings and the occasional wildlife visitors. The kayaks were great and we were able to fit all 9 of us for a short ride to the beach. Overall a fantastic place to relax and get away from the city. Bonus: free community pool less than 5min driving from the cabin

Absolutely great house!

This is the best house we have visited at the PML (and we have been at the lake 5 times). It has everything that a family with kids can dream off: boats, board games, arcades, a gated ping-pong table of a good quality, great swings, a pool table, a large TV with a big collection of movies. The house is big and clean. The host is helpful and easy to contact. The only drawback is that you can't swim near the house. It's the cove's end, and the water is shallow. You need to paddle to the lake's beaches, which we didn't mind at all.

Excellent Base Camp for Yosemite

We really enjoyed our stay! We spent several days at Yosemite, a great afternoon at Rainbow Pools much closer to the house, and a lot of time on the lake as well. We made good use of the grill, the giant TV was a hit on the one day we had a lot of rain, and the arcade games were nostalgic for the adults and fun for the kids. The giant tub in the master bath is even bigger than you think it is from the pictures, and very relaxing. The kids loved the swings and the hammock in the back yard. We took all the paddleboard/kayaks/peddleboat out and enjoyed them all. Life jackets were available in a variety of sizes, including kid sizes. Plenty to do here to keep an active family busy and happy!

Birthday weekend Trip

Overall the property was very nice and the host was very kind and communicated well. I checked in on Friday and departed on Sunday . We had no power on Saturday which is very upsetting when you can’t enjoy anything in the house for your birthday celebration. Cold showers , no wifi , no tv or lights inside or out. I know the host doesn’t control power but please accommodate.

Quiet, convenient location

We have stayed in more than one unit at PML and this was definitely a nice space. Very quiet, on the far end of an inlet to the lake. No jumping off the dock here, the water is not deep enough, but it is a short drive teach or you can use the kayaks to get out and about the lake. The property was nice and we appreciated the enclosed dog run for our pups. Rooms were clean and there were lots of games and activities for us to use. While we were in the property there were some maintenance issues that we had to report to the owner, but Tyson was very responsive and we heard back immediately. The issues could not be resolved during our stay and did impact the experience, but we appreciate the effort Tyson put in. Hoping that the owners make a few needed upgrades and we would definitely stay here again.
