Just about a mile from the village of Twain Harte you’ll find Tall Pines Homestead (elevation 3600 feet), nestled against a mountain side and across from a meadow, popular with grazing deer. Sitting up off the road and behind a veil of trees that give this Homestead its name, you may pass by Tall Pines the first time!
The large 3.5 (den w/futon, perfect for kids) bedroom, 3 bath home allows for privacy, yet is roomy enough to host up to eight people for meals and conversations by the fire (Six adults max). In the summer, you can barbecue and enjoy the sun’s last rays filtering through the trees onto the front porch. In winter, build a fire and relax in the cozy living area. Many say their favorite pastime at the Homestead is simply hanging out and relaxing.
But if you want to "plug in," don’t fret. There's a desktop PC available for your use, as well as WiFi if you're bringing your own device. We also provide 4 satellite TV’s and 3 DVD players. You can get away from it all and still stay connected. And yes, we do get cell phone reception.
Just a few minutes’ drive into Twain Harte Village (1.5 miles) and you’ll find restaurants, gourmet grocery shopping, antiquing, and summertime weekend festivals (free outdoor Fri night movies and Sat night concerts in Eproson Park!).
The "Heart of the Motherlode," Twain Harte is central to all the best the Sierra Foothills has to offer.
You’ll be within a short drive of Yosemite Valley, Pinecrest Lake, Kennedy Meadows, Black Oak Casino, Downtown Sonora (the county seat of Tuolumne) Columbia State Park, Dodge Ridge Winter Sports Area, Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, Amador County Wine Country, Lake Tulloch and Lake Don Pedro.
