Great Find
This was a last minute trip on our way to spend Thanksgiving with family. The property is a cozy older home, but clean with comfy beds, and perfect spot near Yosemite. It’s about 30 minutes to the gate and 1 hour from the Valley, but ann easy drive. Our family of 4, including 2 teenagers, loved our stay. We had plenty of room with 2 bedrooms downstairs, a huge loft space, and 2 bathrooms. Groveland is a cute town. Mar Vals was a great grocery store where we were to get everything we needed. We had dinner at the Iron Door Saloon and Two Pies Pizza Guys, and grabbed coffee and pastries at Top of the Trail Tea and Coffee. We would definitely stay here again.

Great spot
The house was great, we weren’t there much and didn’t use most of the amenities. There was a partial lake view though. We used it as a spot to go to Yosemite for a few days. Great location close to town. The beds and pillows were all pretty hard and not comfortable.

Well…it was something.
Things weren’t great. We had no power due to a power outage for three days. Which isn’t really on the property because they can’t control that, but there was no response from the local manager listed on the email at all. We asked if a generator was available from Vacasa- there wasn’t. We lost all of our food for the week (which was a lot because we were meeting up with another family of 6 near by so we had food enough to feed a small army) as the fridge defrosted and caused a huge mess. There were spiderwebs around and oddly enough tiny dead bugs on the ceiling in the bathroom downstairs. At least one of the stools were broken at the kitchen counter. Oh, my kid picked up a carpet tack he found on the stairs. So praise the Lord that didn’t wind up in one of my kids feet since they were sleeping upstairs. There’s also critters in the wall/ceiling. Which, I get it, it’s in the forest. Critters happen. But the culmination of the week made us check out two days early. Hearing a critter chew and scratch somewhere near my head all night was enough to call it quits on our vacation.

Needs a good cleaning
Not a place I would ever rent again. Needs major cleaning and a new sofa. Stayed one night and then requested a relocation. Furniture old, linens old, cobwebs, even on the hot tub cover. When was it cleaned last? Not a happy place.

Nice location, run down property
The location of this house was great, but the house itself was out of date, horrible beds, dirty dishes in the cupboards and lacking basics for guests. Could be such an amazing vacation rental if money was put into upkeep.

Nice quiet house
I'd give this house 3.5/4 stars. It was a nice house, but when we got to the front door there was a garbage bag from the cleaning person and there was old milk and butter in the fridge. We tried to use the grill, but couldn't get it to work. I would stay here again as it was what I expected, quiet and comfortable, the beds are a little hard, but I didn't mind too much. FYI, you can't park at the beach with the food shack as a renter Fri - Sun Overall, I was pleased with my stay and would stay again.

could have been better
The place is a bit dated but we could look pass that if it were adequately maintained. Overflowed trash cans found on arrival, broken appliances and furnitures, trash and beer bottle found on couch, bed bugs. And we weren't made aware of tons of restrictions that HOA imposes on vacation renters. Disappointed.

Grossest place ever
Do yourself a favor and don't stay here. We found cockroaches, rat poop, bags of dog poop all over the driveway, a broken bed, and overall filth. This was our first VRBO experience and it was beyond gross. Im not a picky person, but this place was simply nasty. The property manager contacted me after we got home and we got refunded the cleaning fee. They were very apologetic, but it was shameful that they would even attempt to rent this place out. Don't stay here.

overall it was a pleasant stay
Pros: House is located within a walking distance to the Marina The kitchen is spacious and the deck is nice. Cons: It feels like everything in the house is outdated, furnishings, light switches, carpet etc., the Internet was not stable We called the management company a few times regarding the grill and garbage overflown situation. Over the phone, they promised that somebody will stop by. Nobody ever did. Summary: Overall stay was good, the house was kind of old, management company is not responsive

Good location but very dirty
The house was very dirty. Dust all over the beds and under the beds. It looked like the house wasn’t cleaned recently. Old, dirty appliances, dirty dishes, etc. Checkin could have been better coordinated with Vacasa. When we arrived, we weren’t on the list at the gate and had to wait for an hour on the phone with Vacasa to get on the list to be able to enter the community.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Overall, we were pleased with our stay. The property is outdated and the beds were just okay, but for the price-point, we didn’t expect much more. There is a full kitchen with pot and pans and a coffee maker, but don’t expect necessities like salt, pepper, sugar, and coffee unless someone leaves them behind. There is an excellent little coffee shop nearby: FireFall Coffee Roasting Co. Only $1 for great coffee if you have your own mug.
