Perfect find for our family!

Beautiful (and big!) house in a great location. We rented for the access to Yosemite but we will be back just to enjoy Pine Mountain Lake more. Kitchen was spacious enough for our group and the kids loved having their own room! Morning coffee on the deck with a view of the lake was the best way to start the day.

Amazing!

Don’t hesitate booking this place! The space is very open, enough room for so many people without feeling crowded. They had everything you may need for a long stay, and it was extremely clean and organized. The patio was peaceful and we got to see two bald eagles nesting just by the lake. Quick drive to Yosemite with good access to food, groceries, and gas. Will be back!

Thanks for pointing that out Sarah. yes, we are lucky to host a family of bald eagles nearby that have returned every year between fall and winter and their nest is at eyesight from us, they are a sight to see as they screech while departing for their hunt, pure bliss as you meditate with your morning coffee at our veranda overlooking the lake.

Great family home!

Our kids and Grandkids joined us for 6 nights. The house was very comfortable with beautiful views. It was roomy enough that we could all spread out and find our favorite spot. The young kids enjoyed the game area down stairs while the adults hung out on the porch upstairs. The house was clean, pictures were accurate and we would rent it again. We had one little problem and the local caretaker came right away and resolved it. A great family vacation spot!

Gorgeous place

Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious with places for a group to gather or for quiet chats one on one. We especially enjoyed the large covered deck with a wonderful view of the lake but still private and also the fire pit. The dining table seated eight letting us all eat together. The host was responsive via email both before and during our stay. We are talking about returning.

Incredible Home, Trip, and Memories!!

This home was so wonderful with it’s great deck seating looking out at Pine Mountain Lake, the great outdoor dining we took advantage of to eat all together, the game room and downstairs area, and large kitchen where we had multiple “chefs” cooking with ease. It was perfect. My adult daughter also got giddy when I told her there was a “secret wine cellar” she had to find. So fun!!!

Great for a group getaway

This was a wonderful vacation home that suited our needs as an extended family looking for a weekend away together. We had a couple of hiccups with the technology but Miguel was so responsive and helpful, and none of it took away from our experience. We were hoping for a snow weekend which wasn't in the cards due to ongoing lack of snow, but it was a short drive into Yosemite National Park to find some snow to play in. We will definitely be back to take in more of the scenery in different seasons.

Great house with lake view for families

We, two families , stayed at this amazing house while visiting Yosemite and we loved it. Kids ( 6 yrs to 13 yrs) enjoyed the bunk bed room and game room . The house was very well equipped and clean. There were fine details which was an awesome experience like books around the house, binoculars, sauna and wine cellar. Appreciate a quick response from owners in case of any questions. Would definitely come back :)

Skyridge House @ Pine Mountain Lake

We stayed at Skyridge House in Pine Mountain Lake for 4-nights. Wow...the moment we walked through the front door we were in love with the place! It is stunning, the view of the lake is beautiful and the house itself is gorgeous. It has an open floor plan, is very bright with lots of skylights, and is tastefully decorated! The owner was very responsive and easy to get in touch with which made our stay even better. We are very grateful for this experience. Thank you, Miguel.

Roomy Retreat

We stayed here with three adults and four kids and this home had space to spare. The kids loved the bunk room and the garage converted to a game room. The adults enjoyed the deck with views of the lake and deer coming by every night. We also appreciated that there were plenty of towels (even beach towels), toilet paper, and a few snacks when we arrived. We spent the week going to Yosemite (about an hour drive, but beautiful) and a day at the lake. This was the perfect home to come back to each night. I’d highly recommend!

We came up with 2 other families over Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful time in Miguel’s home. The rooms are large, the amenities are plenty and everything was updated. Every family had privacy to be separate, and we had plenty of room to come together to play games and eat meals. The peekaboo views of the lake were beautiful and the kitchen was fully stocked.

Nice View

I enjoyed the property location, It was clean and had everything you needed. However we did not like much the apple siri devices much, a lot of the stuff was not responding to it well and 2 of the fireplaces where not working and could not figure out how to turn them on. Also we did not like paying $46 additional to enter to the property (specially when you have to pay for 3 vehicles), I feel that should be included with the price and the other one would be the check out at 10am was too early specially with small children (harder to wake them up and get them ready). Overall I recommend it. Owner was pretty nice and place was nice and quiet.

Luxuriously Spacious Forest Getaway

This property was worth every penny! We stayed here for my husbands 40th birthday and everyone fit comfortably. There is so much space to spread out and get comfy but also plenty of space to come together. We enjoyed game nights at the dining table, playing Bingo in the awesome game room, laughing with our complementary wine around the fire pit, and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery and abundant wildlife. We ventured down to the marina and were lucky enough to catch a beautiful trout, then enjoyed a scenic and brisk walk around the community. The host was wonderful and so responsive with any questions we had. The “secret sauna” was also a pleasant surprise. My favorite part of the trip was sitting on the front porch on a misty morning and seeing a flock of turkeys stroll by. I can’t wait to return to this location in the very near future and highly recommend staying here! Five stars for sure!!!

Perfect Mountain Retreat

The pictures do not do this house justice! Very spacious interior; new, contemporary house with rustic touches. Tastefully, and carefully furnished. The kitchen was incredible, with every possible piece of equipment you could need in the huge pantry alone, and more in the over-sized kitchen itself. We loved gathering around the huge island at mealtime. Multiple sets of dishes, sharp knives and very high end appliances. The bedrooms were quiet and the beds super comfortable. The towels and linens are very good quality as well. The fire pit on the hill above the house was beautiful and there is a sauna hidden on the lower level. We had fun finding it! Even though we're on the East coast, we're planning to return. If we could give the house 6 stars we would! The tiny historic town nearby is lovely. You won't regret staying here.
