Other Details to Note
FAQs Q: Do you offer discounts? A: Yes! We offer weekly and monthly discounts for longer stays. Q: Can I bring my own boat/kayak/paddleboard/water craft? A: Unfortunately no, PML only allows homeowners to launch their boats on the lake. All other smaller water crafts must be registered and permitted with the marina before entering the lake. We provide kayaks and paddle boards that are already permitted, so feel free to use these during your stay! Q: Why are prices different depending on which days I select? A: We use automated pricing software that sets nightly prices based on demand and comparable properties. Rates change based on a variety of factors and we typically just let the software do its thing. Q: Can I have an early check-in or late check-out? A: We do our best to accommodate these requests whenever possible! We usually cannot commit to an answer until approximately a week in advance of your reservation, so send us your request as your reservation approaches and we'll see what we can do for you. Q: Do we have to do chores at check-out? A: Upon check-out, we ask that guests do their dishes and take out the trash so there isn't anything that attracts unwanted critters between your departure and our cleaning crew's arrival. Thank you for your understanding and support! - Please note the following: LIMITED MOBILITY & ALLERGIES The property is on a steep slope and has many stairs both inside and out, so it may be difficult to navigate for those with limited mobility. Also, please know that we must accept service animals by law; while we do our very best to keep everything as clean as possible, the cabin is not suitable for those with allergies or sensitivity to pets. PG&E & LOSS OF INTERNET CONNECTION The town of Groveland has been experiencing frequent shutdowns by PG&E, particularly during the summer to mitigate wildfire risk. While we have a generator for the house that automatically kicks on when this happens (ensuring that the AC/heating and kitchen remain functional), the wifi is affected during these events. This is out of our control, and think it's important that guests are aware of this possibility prior to booking! Let us know if you have any other questions and we'd be more than happy to answer them.
