The Woodsy Hideaway ~ Your Yosemite vacation starts here

The Woodsy Hideaway is a delightful retreat! The combination of scenic views, comfortable accommodations, and convenient access to both outdoor activities and historical landmarks makes it an appealing destination for a variety of travelers. The proximity to Pine Mountain Lake and its amenities, along with the short distance to Yosemite National Park, adds to the allure of the Hideaway. The well-appointed living spaces, including the spacious living room and kid-friendly loft, offer a welcoming environment for guests to relax and enjoy their stay. And with Groveland's historic charm and nearby attractions, there's no shortage of things to see and do in the area. It sounds like a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure awaits you.
The Woodsy Hideaway is located in the private gated community of Pine Mountain Lake in Groveland, California, offering accommodations for 8 people.

I stayed at this mountain retreat for 2 days with 4 other family members. Directions to get there were accurate. The host communicated with us well and sent all instructions we needed The place was clean, cozy and comfortable. There were deer that visited in the backyard each morning and were delightful to see. I would love to stay here again if I visit.

Can’t stay away

This was our 3rd stay at the Hideaway Cabin. The Hideaway is one of the best VRBOs we have ever stayed in. From the views, to the amenities to the comfy beds everything is always perfect. This trip we went to Yosemite, jumped from the high ledges at the Rainbow Pools, stuffed ourselves full of ice cream from the mercantile and watched the PML fireworks. I cannot recommend this cabin more!

Yosemite Getaway

The house itself was spotless and cozy, with all the necessary amenities. The hosts put a lot of thought into making their guests feel welcome, providing everything from comfortable bedding to a fully equipped kitchen. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor seating area, where I could relax with a cup of coffee and enjoy the peaceful setting. The hosts were quick to respond to our questions and provided excellent recommendations. Whether you're looking for a quiet getaway or a place to enjoy Yosemite, this spot has it all. I can't recommend it enough, and I will be coming back

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

This was a great house for our family of five. We had a great time hiking in Yosemite and then coming back to sit by the fire at night, playing card game, and watching movies was exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook a Thanksgiving meal. Everything was clean, comfortable beds, and a beautiful view from the front deck. This home could easily fit two families with all the kids on the upper level and adults downstairs.

This is our second stay in Debi and Vineet's properties. And for the second time we are giving them A+. The property well maintained and equipped with everything you need. Check-in and check-out are straightforward. All instructions and driving directions were clear and provided in advance. The location is great: ~2 min. drive to the beach, ~5 min. drive to the local store, 30-35 min. to Yosemite National Park. The communication with hosts was easy and pleasant. We had really enjoyable 5-night stay. We will definitely rent from Debi and Vineet again and recommend this property to our friends.

Great place to relax between hikes and rest up. We appreciated the everyday items available like laundry soap and a kitchen well stocked with the basics, lots of spices and more. The covered porch was cool and relaxing.So much so we didn't want to leave in the mornings and looked forwarded to returning from our hikes. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
