Holiday rentals with a fire pit in New Melones Lake

Excellent stay in a clean, well-equipped home We thoroughly enjoyed our stay—the place was spotless, and the kitchen had everything we needed. One minor quibble: the coffee maker was tiny and could only brew two cups at a time, which was a bit inconvenient for our group. The location is fantastic—just about an hour’s drive to Yosemite National Park, making it an ideal base for exploring. The community was undergoing construction, and some roads were closed during our visit. We ended up waiting about 45 minutes to enter and pay the $50 entrance fee, which was frustrating. It’s worth asking the host for an update on access or checking ahead before booking.

We had an amazing stay in this lovely home. The entire home was spotless, the running water was warm, and the property was peaceful. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get away.

Had a wonderful stay at Luis’ house over Father’s Day weekend! Perfect getaway in nature for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Beds were comfy, big open kitchen, nice BBQ, outdoor seating w/fireplace for s’mores, corn hole, spa under the stars and Adirondack chairs overlooking the vista perfect for morning coffee. Only 30 mins to pinecrest lake or dodge ridge for outdoor fun during the day! Helpful hosts who welcomed us with wine and stuff for s’mores, so thoughtful!!

Just a stunning home on a beautiful piece of property. Highly recommend!

it's a beautiful place....you will love it

We had an amazing stay at Yvette's place! The house was spotless, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Yvette was also a fantastic host, always quick to respond and accommodating. We would definitely recommend their place and stay again.

We loved everything about the house. The location, decor, layout… I like the extra details Melissa considered for her guests. The Scentsy and melts, diffuser, great variety of kitchen items, surplus of bed linens and towels, plenty of hangers, the funky decor, hot tub, and books and puzzles. Onsite laundry was great. She paid attention to what a guest may want or need. Although we didn’t use them, there were children’s items, and many additional options to sleep. And the chickens, of course! Having fresh eggs was a huge plus. The girls were quite entertaining as well! Melissa was very attentive to any issues and went above and beyond to meet our needs. We totally enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

We spent a few nights at this super house with our family. Felt right at home. One of our favorite rentals. Beautiful surroundings. Great hiking and biking trails. Brad was super kind and responsive. Very impressed with everything and would absolutely return. Cool vibe and gold rush towns around the area too. High recommend.

Very comfortable and quiet property. We booked this property giving Kevin and Teresa only an hour’s notice. They were very pleasant and made sure everything was set for us. Kevin met us and showed us around. The apartment was very warm and cozy. We would highly recommend!!

Very affordable place to stay compared to other bnbs nearby. Not a “cabin” but still had the homey cabin feel. Kitchen and fridge were stocked a little bit. Grocery store nearby. Very easy and flexible check in. Laurie who takes care of the rental for Robert was very nice and friendly and helpful. If you have kids there is a little selection of toys and also a little selection of dvds. Walking distance to the golf course across the street. Overall a very good experience. Would 100% stay there again.

This is a lovely space, very roomy, clean and convenient. The view from the kitchen is beautiful and it is a peaceful and relaxing place to unwind after a day of outdoor adventures. I booked it to explore Yosemite, which is about an hour and 15min or so to the entrance. It’s a beautiful drive, and there is also so much to explore in Sonora, Columbia, and Jamestown. The Gold Rush history of this area is fascinating to me, and this is a perfect basecamp for nature hikes and historical sightseeing. Michele is super helpful, responsive, and gave me excellent suggestions of things to do and even an ideal itinerary for my four days there. Highly recommend.

Raman responded very quickly. The place was exactly as described. It was clean. And after a tiring day of travel was the right place to rest. The beds were very comfortable and cozy. Had a great sleep. My boys loved it too.

Can’t say enough about our weekend stay at Shaun and Holly’s! They are fabulous hosts and made sure we had everything necessary for a relaxing, fun time. They even had special treats awaiting us since it was our anniversary. Over the top in every way! We will most definitely go back to this little piece of heaven in Sutter Creek!

This little house was perfect! I stayed here for the weekend because my Daughter was getting married close by. It was the perfect place to get some much needed rest after spending a couple of long days getting everything ready. Melissa was great at communicating and gave clear info on checking in and out. Definitely would stay here again!

The place was great and Abbie was wonderful. She was very responsive and communicative. The location was great and very peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend.

The house was great and I'd recommend it to people looking for a jumping off point for Yosemite. Super comfy beds, great deck, enjoyable hot tub, beautiful location. Lots to love and we had a great time. A note for potential guests: The community (the Pine Mountain Lake Association) that the house is located within is currently experiencing heavy road work from 4/30/25-7/2/25. We had to wait 20+ mins to get into the neighborhood each time we came back, which was annoying to say the least. Not the fault of the airbnb host, but just FYI on expectations.

This place is now a core memory for me. My friends and I were able to relax and connect at Jennifer’s place. Lots to do, plenty of space for everyone. 10/10 would visit again.

We loved staying here and would come back as soon as we could. We find many airbnbs do not live up to the quality they advertise. However, this gem is more than worth a stay. We did not leave the area all weekend because we wanted to soak up every minute. The cabin is incredibly clean, well maintained, and as shown in photos. The hosts are extremely responsive and catered to any requests we had immediately. I cannot wait to come back soon and hopefully for longer!

We loved staying at Sharon’s cabin! What a beautiful location. And the private lake and playground next to it was a lovely place to relax. The cabin was also perfect for our little ones, complete with indoor toys and swings and a slide in the backyard. It was just as described and Sharon was super responsive and helpful. We’ve already talked about going back!

This cabin was a great place to stay and unwind. The highlight for us was the hot tub which we used through out our stay and access to the private lake. The cabin was situated in a quiet area where we woke up every morning to birds chirping and the warm sun. Great amenities! Only downside was the yard had not been mowed and we could not use the fire pit at night. Other than that Will was a great host who was quick to answer questions and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Definitely will come back again

We stayed at Veronica's beautiful home for a 3-day trip to Yosemite and it was the perfect home base. The home was beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless - the cleanest Airbnb I've ever stayed at! The kitchen is also incredibly well supplied and perfect for making group meals. I can't wait to be back!

Easy check-in & check-out instructions. Close to shopping, White Pines Lake, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Bear Valley & Lake Alpine. Camp Connell General Store was a fun place to get afternoon ice cream. Cozy and comfortable, exceeded the photos, instantly respectfully felt at home. Loved the no shoes rule. The kitchen was enjoyable to cook in, beautiful butcher block counter top, everything you need to get meals done, and the refrigerator is plenty roomy, well kept and clean. Extra large kennel for use. Large fenced yard for ourselves & doggies to enjoy! Cute patio set to enjoy morning coffee and breakfast in the beautiful alpine setting. Safe and secure neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Blissfully pleasant stay, felt relaxed and rejuvenated upon our return home. Big Trees Village Pass was a bonus! Thanks for the hospitality, Mike! Looking forward to checking out @camp_leland! Definitely recommend this home and would love to stay again! -The Dominguez Family
