Great stay in the heart of Twain Harte
The property was great! Walking distance to town with young kids. Great deck and game room with good views of the forest. I'd stay here again over other places we have stayed in Twain Harte. Owner was very accommodating.

Family Christmas Trip
What can I say? My family and I had a great time staying at this cabin. It was my husband and I and our three teenagers.
As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with Christmas lights and a small mini Christmas tree. The cabin has been newly renovated and I loved the decor. There are new appliances and the beds are comfy.
We enjoyed our time sitting by the fire, playing games and opening up our presents.
Couple of things to keep in mind. Get there before dark. It’s a bit dark walking up the path. There are some outdoor lights but for me and my eyes, I would have preferred more.
The game room was a huge hit with the teenagers! The cabin is within walking distance of downtown. We went for a couple of walks during our stay, and stopped off at a local bar/restaurant to watch the 49er game.
Very satisfied with our stay, and would most definitely return!

Escape to the Pines.
Nice property and location. Close enough to amenities but still in the pines. Hwy 108 takes you East to stunning locations for hiking etc. Would stay here again on our next excursion!
