The house layout, activities and amenities really showed the level of care and detail needed for hosting family and two small infants. There was an extra booster seat, pack and play, games throughout, and a very nice deck for grilling and enjoying the beautiful weather. Next time we go to pinecrest we will definitely stay here!

Family snow weekend

Our stay at the Pine Cone House was great! The house has everything you need for a fun, relaxing weekend. The location was perfect- close to Dodge Ridge for skiing and Black Oak Casino for a little gambling. The house was stocked well and the charging stations, Wi-Fi and TV options were great for all age groups. Communication with Jessica, our host, was easy and she replied promptly to all inquiries. We were expecting a big snow storm and Jessica helped us plan for every potential outcome. We would definitely like to stay here again and would recommend this house to those thinking of visiting the Twain Harte area.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Gonzalez

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Jessica, a wife, mom of 3, and a full-time teacher at a continuation high school. I've been teaching for over 15 years and I have always loved hospitality, so starting The Pine Cone House Rentals business with our home away from home is a dream come true. I recently fell in love with building and power tools, so I have included a few custom built pieces in The Pine Cone House. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

This property is the perfect spot for spending quality time with others. Whether it is with family, friends, or coworkers on a retreat, making memories is always worth the investment. I love the open layout of the home and its accessibility to major attractions. The dual levels allow for both privacy and larger groups.

What makes this property unique

I was instantly drawn to this property when I saw it had an attached garage and no steps to enter the front double doors. My late mother was in a wheel chair, and although she is no longer with us, I knew the property would have been very accessible for her. I imagine others will benefit from the accessibility as well.
