Twain Harte Lake retreat w/ summer lake access, walk to town, close to skiing

Welcome to our home away from home! Newly built private entry & detached loft guest apartment on our peaceful and quaint property in lovely Twain Harte, CA . Beautiful in summer and a five minute walk to downtown Twain Harte bars and restaurants, mini golf, community park and pool, tennis courts, executive golf course and private (and included) Twain Harte Lake. 30 minute drive to Pinecrest Lake and multiple reservoirs for boating. Close to Yosemite! In the winter, a 30 minute drive to Dodge Ridge for skiing, sledding and ice skating. 2-2.5 hours from SF!

We're happy to share our home away from home! This private, air conditioned/heated unit is newly designed and sits atop our garage on our property. It's a completely separate guest house with private entry and no shared spaces. Please note that the unit does not have a full kitchen, but instead a kitchenette with plenty of amenities to prepare some light meals (included are mini fridge/freezer, coffee maker, hot plate, microwave, toaster oven and all the basic kitchen necessities - note, no dishwasher). The futon would make a bed for two children (or one-two small adults) if desired and we have lots of baby equipment in the closet if desired including a highchair and pack'n'play (please bring your own sheets). Free parking on the side of the house by entry and quick walk to all the amenities of downtown Twain Harte. Access to Twain Harte Lake is included on our membership - please enquire if interested. The main home's front and back yard are for owners'/main home renter use only (including the pool). There is an outdoor eating area reserved for our guest house rental guests by the guest house rental entry. Our guest suite would be a great fit for a couple or a family with young children! We love escaping the congested and busy Bay Area to come out to Twain Harte and we hope you will, too!

The unit is on the owner's property and the owners (and/or main home renters) may be on the property at any time. All guests come and go as they please and my feel free to say hello to each other - please note that rental areas are completely separate and distinct and you will be able to enjoy your privacy.

Quaint Twain Harte Charmer

We had a wonderful stay in Twain Harte with family and friends. Enjoyed Pinecrest Lake, Twain Harte Lake, the fantastic pool and hot tub at the house, miniature golf i. town, and family BBQs on the deck. We had an incredible week in this lovely mountain home. It is a beautifully updated classic home with all the amenities one could want, but it maintains that quaint and charming Twain Harte feel. Our family loved it!!

I spent an enjoyable few days in TH.

After showing the studio apartment to friends who are home-owners in TH, they agreed that it was a special and well-maintained use of space.

Relax in Twain Harte

Nice relaxing place and the air conditioning was needed and functioned perfect. Short walk to downtown area with choices for food &/or drink. Close drive to fishing and other activities. I’m glad I stayed. Mary was on the spot since I did have to contact her once.

A great experience

Quiet as advertised. It is beautifully set up and conveniently located. It made it easy for me to have space for myself and still join the activities of my large extended family in other cabins.

Pleasant setting.

This studio apartment is very clean, comfortable and has a delightful decor. A/C is appreciated on warm Twain Harte days, but wasn’t needed during this mild June visit. Although the refer is small, I was able to fit four days’ worth of (simple) prepared meals for myself. Lake Membership is a plus! Mary has always responded quickly to questions and requests. I plan to come back!

I hope to come back!

I had a lovely time in Twain Harte in August. The studio apartment met my needs very well. It was attractive, clean and comfortable. I enjoy spending most of my day at TH Lake or walking, so do prepare easy to-assemble meals in advance to avoid cooking. Thus, the kitchenette worked fine for me. Walking round trip to the lake and back took about an hour. A comfortable (double) bed and AC are always appreciated. The owners are especially approachable and helpful. With the challenges of coordinating extended family vacations these days, I am very happy to have found this little gem for myself!

Just Right!

My boyfriend and I needed a small place to lay our heads with air conditioning and a comfortable bed. This house was just what we needed! Thank you so much, Mary, for the thoughtful touches that you put into your rental. Next year, if it is available, we will be back!
