CONSIDERATIONS/DISCLOSURES:

-When checking the weather, it is best to use Mi-Wuk Village as your reference location, as The Pine Cone House is at a higher altitude and closer to Mi-Wuk than central Twain Harte.

-The Pine Cone House is NOT a party house. In this community, we wave hello and goodbye to our neighbors as we drive/walk down the street.

-The Pine Cone House has a Ring doorbell and exterior cameras. We care about the security of our home and our community.

-Our driveway will snugly fit 4 cars, maximum.

-Guests have garage access, but the garage can only fit one car because of the games.

-There are stairs and a steep drop from the road to get to the lower deck and backyard area. Please walk on designated gravel steps.

-BBQs/Fire Pits: Propane tanks are available, but not actively maintained. Consider bringing your own tank or exchanging the existing tanks at the local gas stations.

-We are a mountain house and we live among wildlife: bears, wild turkeys, deer, mountain lions, etc.

-Trash is an issue in mountain areas. You will be asked to take your trash home with you past our one bag per night allowance. Please do not leave food outside!

-Note: VRBO/Direct Booking Guests-A $50 cancellation fee will apply.

WINTER TRAVEL

-It is highly suggested that cars have chains or 4-wheel drive during snowy months. Main roads get plowed by the city and shovels are provided for guests to plow the driveway, if needed.

-Keep the house clean by removing muddy boots with the hose on the side yard and leaving them to dry on one of the many racks in the garage.

-There have been power outages in the past and road closures due to storms. Travel insurance is recommended.
