SUPER IMPORTANT in Twain Harte - Whole home generator included - never lose power or heat!!
The cabin is a short drive (2.5) hrs from SF with minimal traffic (unlike Tahoe). Pinecrest Lake (30 minute drive) is open for fun summer activities.
Take a walk down to downtown Twain Harte (20 minutes) to enjoy the brewery (The Rock), and evening dining at the Eproson House restaurant.
