Old California Architecture - 49er style!
This hotel is renovated to look like it would have during a pristine Gold Rush. Nothing fancy, but the premiere hotel in the Groveland / Pine Lake area Just up the street are teeepees, where the kids can stay. Just down the street is the Silver Dollar Saloon, the oldest operating bar in California (according to the sign out front). Downtown Groveland (all three blocks of it) is very cute. I don't think you'd want to stay for very long, but this is a very convenient stop-off on your way to Yosemite. Give yourself some time to meander up and down Main Street and eat lunch in the park across the street from the Groveland Hotel, where they used to host the "Old West Days." Music Festivals are becoming larger, too.
