Getting around
A vehicle is strongly recommended for this area. The home includes driveway parking for up to three vehicles. Pine Mountain Lake is a gated community, and all vehicles must check in at the security gate upon arrival. Drivers' names must be approved on the entry list. Groveland’s restaurants, grocery store, and supplies are about a 10-minute drive from the home. From the property you can easily access: • Yosemite National Park entrance – approximately 45 minutes • Don Pedro Lake recreation areas • Sierra foothill hiking trails and outdoor activities Ride share services such as Uber or Lyft are limited in this rural mountain area, so most guests explore the region by car. Because the property is inside Pine Mountain Lake, each vehicle entering the community is required to pay the $50 entry fee charged by the association at the gate. Drivers' names must be approved on the entry list.
