About this property

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! The entire property is yours: 4 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 bathrooms, the wraparound deck and the game room cabin with a 412 game arcade machine.
One minute walk to downtown Twain Harte for groceries, dining, coffee and live music on the weekends. Dodge Ridge is 22 miles, Pinecrest Lake is 19, Yosemite is under an hour. Great for the whole family, or for friends alike seeking to get away from the city. Sleeps 8. Dogs welcome.

WHAT YOU GET

THE ARCADE ROOM The arcade machine has been swapped out with a brand new cocktail table arcade machine, which is much easier to operate and more reliable. It has a total of 412 games! The cabin is just steps from the main house. There's no bathroom out there, so whoever sleeps in the cabin uses the [upstairs/downstairs] bathroom.
STAYING COOL The home does not have central air, however we have installed a total of 3 portable AC units, one in the living room, and one in each of the bedrooms upstairs in the main house. The game room cabin is not air conditioned, nor is the downstairs studio (the studio stays very cool however due to the natural insulation of the hill side).

About the host
Hosted by Ryan Cohn
My family and I have always loved Twain Harte, my dad used to come up here when he was a kid and as a result he brought me up here as a kid as well. We've always loved how cute and cozy the little town of Twain Harte is. Perfectly located to so many amazing things and gets just the right amount of snow, not too much, not too little. We decided that we would eventually have to own a property up here some day.
2021 was the year that we were able to make this dream come true and after countless hours of hard work purchasing the property, fixing it up and loading it with furniture. We're finally able to say that we're proud owners of a cabin up in Twain Harte! We love this place so much that we decided it would be beneficial to share it with others when we're not there, hence why we listed it on VRBO :)
Why they chose this property
This property has everything you could want. It's close to downtown, but isn't too close to any of the main roads which makes it very calm and quiet. It's surrounded by 100+ foot pine trees and just the whole aesthetic of the property is gorgeous. We knew the second we pulled up to this cabin that it would be the one for us. We hope that you all feel the exact same way.
What makes this property unique
Our most unique benefit is the arcade cabin and how close we are to downtown. Seriously, it maybe takes a 1 minute walk and you're in the heart of downtown.
