    Airbnb Listings

    • While Pinecrest Lake rules don’t allow for house rentals, there are lots of wonderful rental options in nearby Strawberry for our guests to enjoy!

    • Note: Unless you plan to drive yourself, please make sure your Airbnb is located in Strawberry or Pinecrest. Our shuttles will only be providing pickup and drop-off points within the Strawberry/Pinecrest area. Unfortunately, locations such as Cold Springs, Twain Harte, and beyond will not have shuttle service.

    The Strawberry Inn

    • A great spot to stop by for a drink or snack, with motel-style rooms available for guests. Located right on the river!

  • Rental car... you’re gonna need one. There are no Ubers, Lyfts, or taxis in the area.

    You’ll be in the stunning (and remote!) mountains of California so will definitely need your own mode of transportation. A rental car is the perfect way to soak in the beautiful Sierra Nevada scenery surrounding Pinecrest and Strawberry. Whether you come a day early to wander through Yosemite or drive down to Twain Harte, a rental car couldn’t be more strongly recommended!

    Day-of Transportation / Party Shuttles

    We will have shuttles running from the Pinecrest Chalet to Strawberry for both the Welcome Party (@Strawberry General Store) and the Wedding (@Pinecrest Chalet).
