Robert Colombo purchased this cabin in 2010
Why Robert Colombo chose Gold Country & High Sierra
My family has been vacationing in Twain Harte for about ten years now. We were looking for a vacation place that had everything. Twain Harte is that place. Twain Harte offers a beautiful swimming and fishing only lake, restaurants within walking distance, Pee Wee golf, hiking trails , golf course , movies in the park , only a few hours from the bay area , snow skiing and much more. Its been a long time dream of mine to own my own vacation place in the mountains. With the support of my wife we were able to make it work.
What makes this cabin unique
Our cabin is located on a very quiet street yet its within walking distance to restaurants , pee wee golf and your morning coffee and fresh baked scone !!!. Its has a large deck and sits on about 1/4 of an acre.We spend every morning having coffee on the deck and every evening bbqing and enjoying our great view as the sun sets. We are very fortunate that all of our neighboring cabins are non vacation rentals. This keeps our area especially quiet.
Deer can often be seen coming up from the creek down the hill behind the cabin.The creek is too far to hike to. Sorry kids :) On the nights we get back too late from the lake or playing in the snow we often walk to town for a bite at one of the local restaurants. 'The Rock' is very popular!The cabin was built in 1937 but has all the comforts of home. YES! It has central heat !!! We love Twain Harte and we love our cabin. I know you will too.

Cabin Near Town
We had a great time exploring Twain Harte and the Pinecrest Area. This would be a great property for any family to rent year round. We had fun up at Dodge Ridge playing in the snow, and I want to go back in the summer for some lake fun. The owner was very attentive and friendly!
Could Not Be Any Better
Awesome, perfect, quaint, well described, better than expected! These are some of the terms I would use to describe the wonderful cabin that is Pondering Pines. I initially sought out this cabin due to it being on the lower end of the pricing spectrum, but also have all the accommodations that would meet our needs. The owner is a fantastic communicator and the property is amazing. The next time we rent a cabin in Twain Harte, it will absolutely be Pondering Pines.
A great quiet get away
This place was the perfect little getaway for our two families that do an annual trip to the snow. Plenty of room for two families and I would definitely consider staying here again. The hospitality was excellent and the place was very clean. Two big thumbs up!
ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL STAY!
I couldn't have asked for a better place for me and family to spend a weekend at. Robert and I were in communication up until my arrival. The directions and instructions were very detailed and simple. I was amazed at all that this place was equipped with. We really didn't have to bring anything but our food. We enjoyed all the movies and games that were already there for use. This is the first family I have taken with my parents since I was a kid, so this was very special to me. I definitely look forward to coming back. I fell in love with this place! Thanks again to the Colombos!
Our favorite winter retreat!
Very charming and comfortable place- we have been coming here for many years and our young kids love it like a second home. Quiet location but close to everything. Owners are great to work with!
Wonderful owner, lovely cabin, great flexibility
Our two families (with 4 kids ages 4-7) were looking for a short 2-night getaway between Christmas and New Year's to see some snow. Given most places require ONE WEEK minimum during this period, we knew the odds were against us. So we were elated to come across this cabin that allowed a 2-night minimum! And we were elated even more when 1) the owner seemed to take so much pride in going above & beyond to be a good host and felt so personally vested in us having a great time (email response times within a few hours, text response times within a few minutes, before/during our stay), 2) the rooms (including bathrooms & kitchen) were super clean, 3) second floor sleeping options were lovely, 4) we saw the largest selection of movies/games (especially for kids) I've seen in a cabin rental, and 5) only a short 15 minute drive up the freeway with a foot of snow where we had the whole hill to ourselves for sledding. To cap it off, not having had to give up an arm and a leg for this stay (compared to similar places) left us feeling good about the value we got for the money. If this is in your budget range, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place. My only one recommendation is that the living room can use some more lighting. :) We'd definitely be interested in coming back for a summer stay to enjoy the benefits of the lake.
