About this property

Cozy Cabin Studio in the Pines, Private Entrance, Kitchen, Dogs OK, Walk to Town

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! A cozy little cabin studio tucked in beneath the main house, with its own private entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, dining area and outdoor space.

A short walk puts you in the heart of downtown Twain Harte: groceries, dining, coffee, shopping, mini golf, park, tennis courts, bars and live music! Pinecrest Lake is 19 miles, Dodge Ridge is 22, Yosemite is under an hour. Queen bed, sleeps 2. Dogs welcome.

This cabin studio located beneath the main house is gorgeous. It doesn't take long to feel right at home. It's a small space and we've made every inch of it count, with a full kitchen, a queen bed, and pines out the door.

WHAT YOU GET

1 bedroom with a queen bed, 1 bathroom, full kitchen, dining area
Separate private entrance, no shared hallways
Your own outdoor space
Wifi and a dedicated workspace
Keyless entry, 2 parking spaces

WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED The top half of the home is rented separately and is not included in this listing, and neither is the wraparound deck or the game room cabin at the back of the property. You have your own entrance, so you won't be walking through anyone else's space.

If you have additional guests and would like to rent both units together, please let me know as we can group the reservations together and provide discounted pricing.

STAYING COOL There is no AC in the downstairs studio, however it stays very, very cool due to the natural insulation of the hill and being located under the main home.

GUEST ACCESS

We have keyless entry and you will be provided with your own unique code upon reservation. We have 4 parking spaces located on the property. Please only use two parking spaces, as the other two are reserved for the top unit.

Take advantage of our new and relaxed check in/check out times! If you need to get in early or stay late, just ask.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE

We're just steps from downtown, which means you can hear the live bands on the weekends and our little town has some ROCKING bands!

Cute little cozy downstairs studio. Had all of the amenities that we needed. Hot water, great shower. Close to stores and restaurants and lots of places to take walks. Quiet neighborhood with friendly residents. Definitely recommend for 1 or 2 people. Also, great tattoo shop - Juniper Moon Tattoo!

We had a great time! Location is perfect for walking to town and access to Sugar Pine Railway hiking trail along the canal. The cabin was well shocked with everything you need. The power went out one night, and we were able to find a folding portable lantern in cabinet above the refrigerator. I contacted Ryan, our host, and he was quick to get back to us with updated power information. We especially enjoyed Eproson House for food and drinks. We would definitely return in the future!

Cozy and Well-Equipped Studio Cabin!

I stayed for a weekend with my dog. We enjoyed how thoughtfully-equipped the cabin is, with every little detail from bathroom amenities to kitchen tools provided. It was even decorated for Christmas! We loved the cozy fire place and also how close the cabin is to the quaint little downtown. We’ll be back!

Well appointed efficiency studio. Nicely decorated. The best shower I have seen in a rental. Cute town. Close to Sonora, Angels Camp, railroad museum. The Rock restaurant veery good for dinner. Quaint, local hangout . Couldn’t be more pleased with this rental. Spotlessly clean.

We loved our stay. It was just the right size for the two of us and our dog, with a kitchen and beautiful bathroom. Cute Christmas decorations were a nice touch and the coffee and popcorn were appreciated. It had everything we needed to cook our own food when we wanted to. The town is super cute and right across the street, with tons of food options and a couple consignment/ thrift stores too. It has a small town feel where everyone smiles and says hello, even the teenagers walking home from the school. We will definitely recommend it to friends. The place is underneath the main house but it was not booked any of the days we were there.

Gorgeous flat

Very warm and cozy stay, the only suggestion is pray you don’t have upstairs neighbors during your stay, our last night was filled with lots of loud banging, loud music, and voices heard through the floors (our ceiling) when we were trying to sleep at 11pm. Other than that very nice, mostly quiet, walking distance to the main strip of town and very cozy stay for two people

Sorry to hear that your night was disrupted by the upstairs tenants. We've implemented some new systems to alleviate this issue moving forward, including reminders of quiet hours and disciplinary action for guests that don't respect quiet hours. Thanks for your stay and feedback!

A perfect studio for one or two persons. Stocked with everything you might need for a short stay and right across the street from the Eperson House so you get a free concert on the weekends. Downtown is literally across the street. What more could you ask for?

The Studio was perfect for my husband and I. It had all the amenities we needed for our anniversary weekend. Everything was walkable and close by. The only thing is that the people upstairs were loud till 2am in the morning one evening. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. We would stay there again and maybe bring the whole family and see if we can reserve the whole place.
