Winter's Camp: Newly Refurbished Summer Cabin W/ Lake Privileges, Walk to Town
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2013
About the owner: Winter's Camp (known in our family as 'The Cabin') has been the hub of our summer vacations since the mid-80's. In 2009 Bill (pictured with his mother Natalie and granddaughter) 'retired' from the US Forest Service and moved to Twain Harte where he now lives full time. Bill owns a civil engineering firm that specializes in bridge inspection work and currently inspects all the road and trail bridges on the Stanislaus National Forest. Bill also serves on the Twain Harte Lake Association Board of Directors. In 2013 he purchased the cabin from his mother and spent the last year renovating the cabin with the help of his daughter Jody. Jody is a professional designer in San Francisco and helps Bill with the rental management and online presence of Winter's Camp.
Why the Owner Chose Twain Harte, CA, USA:
Why Winter in Summer?
For five generations the name 'Winter' has been handed down through the first sons in our family. The youngest is now just 7. Winter's Camp has been a place where generations of our family reconnect, play, and relax together during hot summer days. So many hours have been spent reading on the deck, lounging at The Lake, and swapping stories. As a kid Jody always wanted to vacation somewhere else, but now as an adult with her own family, she loves the smell of the pine trees when they drive into Twain Harte and her children constantly ask when they get to go back.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
Summers at Winter's Camp are the perfect answer to the cold Bay Area fog. We have invested in the property to provide fun Mid-Century modern design and creature comforts for the next generations to come. We look forward to sharing our little slice of summer haven with you and the people you care about.
