The Pine Loft Family-Friendly Nature Retreat

Summary:
Escape to The Pine Loft, a modern mountain retreat! Enjoy nature, relax on your private deck, and access nearby lakes for kayaking and fishing. Perfect for families!

The Space:
Welcome to The Pine Loft! This stunning modern loft is the perfect getaway for nature lovers seeking tranquility and adventure in the mountains. Nestled just 43 minutes from Yosemite National Park, this serene retreat offers a peaceful escape while still being close to outdoor activities.

The home is within walking distance to the river and the charming Manzanita Lake, where you can enjoy picnic tables, BBQ facilities, and public restrooms. Bring your kayak and fishing pole, or simply stroll around the lake to take in the beautiful wildlife!

Looking for some entertainment? Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino is only 30 minutes away. The loft features a pull-out sofa bed, two queen beds, two living spaces, and a true open-air loft design. The full kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare your favorite mountain meals, making it an ideal space for families, fishing trips, or girls’ adventures.

Located on a property with a main residence, you'll enjoy a safe and secure environment while still having your own private space. Additional amenities include flat parking, free WiFi, Netflix, a BBQ, and outdoor dining!

Please note that while there is WiFi, this home is situated in a mountain community. The speed may not be what you're used to in the city, and it can be spotty, making it less suitable for constant Zoom meetings or high-speed streaming.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire space. There is another vacation rental near this property. Let us know if you are interested in booking that one too!

The Neighborhood:
You'll be staying in a wonderful neighborhood overlooking a creek, just a short walk to Manzanita Lake, which offers public BBQs, picnic tables, and restrooms. The close proximity to both Manzanita and Bass Lake makes it a great spot to relax or embark on day trips. Nearby towns like Oakhurst and Coarsegold provide modern conveniences, including grocery stores, local coffee shops, and restaurants.

Your private apartment and deck are accessed via a paved driveway on the property, ensuring your comfort and privacy. You'll love everything about The Pine Loft! There are two vacation rentals on this property; if you're interested in renting both, please let us know!

Getting Around:
We suggest using your own vehicle to get around, though Uber and Lyft are available on busy weekends. You are more than welcome to walk, jog, or bike around the neighborhood! 4 wheel drive and tire chains are strongly encouraged during winter months, and may be required by California Highway Patrol if there's snow in the forecast. The nearest Airport is Yosemite International Airport, located just an hour away.

Other Things to Note:
There's another vacation rental on this property. If you'd like to rent both, please let us know and we'll give you a great deal on the second property!
There is a Tesla EV 240 volt charging port available for guest use! First come first serve. 

Although there is wifi, if you plan to work during your vacation, please keep in mind that this home is located in a mountain community. The wifi speed may not be what you're used to in the city. It can be spotty and not suitable for constant Zoom meetings or high-speed streaming.

Interaction with Guests:
We have a 100% response rate!

We are available from 8am-9pm by messaging through the app or calling/texting the Customer Service phone number provided in your check-in instructions.

Not an accessable location

This property is basically a unit right next to a private residence. Not only was it so close to the residence but it was NOT CLOSE at all to Bass Lake. The road to the unit was poorly lit, poorly maintained and very windy. We wanted to have easier access to Bass Lake so this property was not right for us. Paid the full booking but only stayed 1 Hour and checked out.
