Ask a questionAbout Roger Ravenstad
I have been coming to Twain Harte since I was 5 years old when my parents bought their first cabin here. The Norse Hus is my second cabin and was not intended as a rental at first. My family and I enjoy the cabin year round. We are avid skiers and hikers. I am also a semi-professional photographer and the cabin has many of my local work decorating the walls.
Why Roger Ravenstad chose Twain Harte
We were captivated by this property because it is a larger lot with 100's of trees giving a very secluded and private setting. The property has a year round babbling brook, a tire swing and horseshoe pits. The Brentwood Park area of Twain Harte is much quieter than central Twain Harte village, but is only a 1.5 mile walk to town.
What makes this House unique
The large deck wraps around three sides of the cabin so you can always find a sunny or shady spot, whatever you prefer. The house is huge on Twain Harte standards and works very well for multiple families with children. The downstairs has a large family room, which is great for kids, while the upstairs has multiple living spaces, so everyone can find peace or activity within the house.
