This was our second stay here and everything was great. The location within easy walking distance of downtown Twain Harte was great, and we enjoyed hanging out on the spacious deck. It's a nice house and it comfortably accommodated our group of 7.
The location simply can’t be beat. Easily walk to town for coffee or meals but far enough to feel like you're in the woods. The home is very cozy yet spacious, and we loved the large deck. The kitchen is fully stocked and the beds were all comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a very nice stay with seven of us staying very comfortably. The house is in a great location within walking distance of the town of Twain Harte and a nice park, and a very short drive to the lake and the tennis/pickleball courts. The house was well stocked and arrival went very smoothly with the check in instructions.
My daughters and I had a great time at this cabin. It is tastefully renovated but retained the cabin charm that I was hoping for. The location is great since it is walking distance to town, and very close to Twain Harte lake. I would highly recommend it.
My family and I had a great stay at the cabin. Very clean and comfortable. Dan is nice and great with communication. Perfect location, within walking distance to town. I’d love to come back in the summer to enjoy the deck and lake.
The property was excellent. Very clean and comfortable. Fit all of us (6 adults, 4 children) perfectly. Not only was the home remodeled with nice appliances but it was also fully stocked with everything you might need. The owner was very responsive if I had any questions. Definitely will stay here again. Thanks Dan for a wonderful stay.
Super cute cabin, absolutely loved the location. Well cared for.
Clean.
Great communication from the host.
Lots of kitchen supplies. Feels like a home away from home.
Would definitely recommend staying here for your next vacation.
It was our first time going to a cabin right after Christmas, and I have to say that this Cabin was comfortable for our party of 8. We just feel like we would like to stay up higher so next time we won't have to drive up to the snow. Overall, a nice cabin with all the essentials needed.
We stayed here for 5 nights for a long ski weekend and it was the perfect cozy cabin for us! Easy access to Dodge Ridge in 30 minutes, Sonora in only 15 minutes, and a 5 minute walk into Twain Harte. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace, watching movies, and making dinner in the updated kitchen. Dan was a great host and easy to get in touch with as needed. Will definitely stay here again!
Our family has been coming to Twain Harte for over 50 years and this was one of favorite stays. The cabin is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed for family dinners along with a charcoal and gas grill. We spent most of our time outside on the spacious deck. We enjoyed the games and ping pong table. We are looking forward to coming back again on the future.
The house was great, it had everything we needed. The owners were even nice enough to shift our check-in and check out dates so that we could attend a family funeral. We had a blast at the lake, thank you for sharing your lake floats! I feel like cleaning between guest was rushed. We had dirty socks under our bed, and the sheets left were the incorrect size. Both of these things were not the end of the world and were easily rectified. The cabin does needs a deep clean.

After each stay, the cabin is cleaned by a professional housecleaning team. Twice a year, a deep cleaning is performed on the rugs, drapery, etc. During the peak summer rental months, constant usage accelerates the deep clean timing,

Why they chose this property
Our family has been going to summers in Twain Harte since 1960 when our parents discovered this resort town. Swimming in the lake was/is the greatest with a superb lifeguard staff monitoring the younger children so parents can relax a bit.
What makes this property unique
Walk to town or the lake or enjoy your day sitting on the deck. Take a day trip to Yosemite and other hiking spots in the Sierra. Great river and lake fishing nearby. Visit historic gold rush town, Colombia California.
