High Sierra Retreat with a view of Pinecrest lake

The morning sunrises and evening sunsets were beautifully situated over the water with a spectacular view from the kitchen balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped for our group's needs when preparing meals. Sufficient room to relax and get a good night's sleep. Balconies that include a sitting area in the front and back of unit. Washer and dryer available to do laundry. Beach and water area within walking and short drive available to guests including water equipment, play room, and grill area. Residents who reside in the area are very helpful with tips and provided information of things to do in the area.

Parking available for only one vehicle per unit. More parking needs to be made available for additional vehicles.

Location and owner/ property manager

In the winter with snowfall on the ground, the road to the condo parking was very steep. You need all wheel drive or 4w drive to make it up or put chains on just for that last 100 yards. Our fault for bringing our minivan. Since we couldn’t park closer we had to carry all of our luggage and food up a couple flights of stairs to the front door. I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone “older” or who would have trouble carrying belongings up snow covered stairs. Or just don’t be like us and drive a car that has capabilities of driving in the snow.

Good location to access hikes in Emigrant like Kennedy Meadows and Pinecrest Lake. Well stocked kitchen. Hot water in showers. House can sleep many people - good if you’re coming with a big family or group of friends. Nice view of their local pond from kitchen and balcony.

Beds were terribly soft and saggy - our backs hurt a lot the mornings after. Room lights were quite dim and the light switch placement was not always intuitive. FYI there is little to no cell service in the Pinecrest area - we had to drive back onto highway 108 to look for service and get the house code. Make sure you are aware of this dead zone and get the code in advance.

Very close to Leland snowplay, 2 min walking. Plenty of space. Fully equipped kitchen is a big plus considering not much dining options around.

Bed is a bit uncomfortable. Mattresses are too soft.
