Great time in Twain Harte
The home was easy to check and out. They have a fenced in yard for your pets to use the rest room. And the AC worked amazingly! It was over 100 a few days and the house stayed nice and cool the whole time. Will definitely recommend and come again.

Thanksgiving Memories
This is a beautiful home with fantastic views morning and evening. It is perfect for a small to large family. We especially enjoyed the spacious kitchen since we were cooking our Thanksgiving dinner there. We also really enjoyed the pool table and the fact that it is located where everyone can be together, even if some are watching a movie or playing games. It is located within minutes of downtown Twain Harte which is very convenient for last minute shopping. The host is very accommodating and responsive to any questions. We would highly recommend this property to anyone and we cannot wait for our family to go back in the future.

Great House for Family and Dogs
The owner is very nice and she is easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to any questions we had. The house itself has an entry floor with a kids bunk room and bathroom and the garage, the main floor is upstairs. The stairs are a little steep if you have anyone older with mobility or balance concerns with you, but there are handrails which is nice. The main floor is perfect for spending time with your large family. Lovely living room with plenty of seating and great views, the pool table was a big hit as well. Very spacious kitchen where multiple people can help prepare food, and wonderful dining room with a table large enough for all. The main bedrooms and the hall bath are up a few more stairs from the living area, along with the washer and dryer. The master bedroom is huge, the other two queen bedrooms are pretty normal “kid” size bedrooms. The main heat in the house is in the floors, which was amazing in the snowy weather. The decks were mostly snowed in while we were there but we could see how nice those would be in a different time of year. The hot tub was clean and warm, a real treat to relax under the moonlight and take in the snow and the crisp air. Overall the cleanliness of the home was good, there were some things like the ceiling fans being pretty dusty (especially over the bed)or some of the dishes put away with food still stuck on them but these things were not a big deal. I felt comfortable walking around in my socks/bare feet here and letting my kids crawl on the floor, which is not the case everywhere we travel. There was a very nice pack n play that we were able to use here for our baby as well- it seriously looked brand new. The home was also very comfortable for our older dog. He had a bit of a hard time with the entryway stairs, but loved those heated floors. The owners also had some nice dog friendly touches such as a mat to put under his food and water to keep the floor clean and extra dog poop bags by the door if needed. We would definitely rent this home again based on our experiences. It was exactly what I hoped it would be when I booked. Thanks so much for a great time!

Great ski trip!
We had a great stay!! We came up for a ski trip and this house is a great location with easy access to dodge ridge. The host was very kind and responsive. We came during a pretty big snow storm and Michelle went out of her way to make sure the driveway was plowed and a path was shoveled to the hot tub. The house is also very spacious and has a great layout. We hope to stay here again on a future trip!

Great layout for large group + dogs :)
The house is laid out really well, and having a lot of room was nice. The deck goes all the way around and is plenty big for everyone. Great dining table that our young adults used for gaming every night. Kitchen is also plenty big for a large group. Beds were comfortable and the AC in each room was awesome!

A perfect mountain retreat to relax, play and reconnect
We had a much-needed reunion of extended family in Twain Harte and this was absolutely the perfect home for it. Plenty of surprisingly comfortable beds, clean baths and excellent AC. But the real prize is the amazing shared spaces: a kitchen to cook and chat, super comfy open family room with a pool table, a dining area and tons of decks. The area is peaceful, too. Neighbors are at their distance and no real noise form 108. We will return!

Nice Place and Amazing view
This place if very nice, the place have an amazing view, I loved to get my morning coffee looking at the mountains and the view was fantastic. The house is nice and it provides everything you need to make your stay like you were at home. The only two things that I did not like is that the first floor bedroom is cold(er) and because of poor sunlight there were a lot of spiders that we had to take care of them, this is something the cleaning services should take care at least before we arrived. The second part is that the hot tub was cold and wen we try to turn it on there was a leak on the pipes, also we try to heat it up and was on for 20 minutes but the water never heated, thats was a bummer as we all wanted to make use of it.

Great house for families
This is a terrific place for families. It is well laid out with a bunk room on the first floor where our 1-year old granddaughter had a quiet place for an early bedtime, while the rest of the family played games, enjoyed the fireplace, and streamed the Olympics on the big screen TV. The hot tub is huge and clean and worked very well for all of us - sometimes twice a day. And the kitchen was perfect with every kind of pot and pan imaginable, a big gas stove and oven, plus a big barbecue grill with piped gas right outside the kitchen door. We used the deck with southern exposure to best advantage, having breakfast out there in the warm sun every morning. We loved the pool and the ping pong tables. And even though it was the middle of winter, the frogs and peepers in the surrounding woods serenaded us to sleep each night. The whole place has a comfortable, lived-in feeling where most everything works as it should.

Beautiful house with lots to do
This house is very large and very nice, especially for the price. I stayed here with my husband and two children, ages five and seven. My kids were delighted by the ping-pong table, pool table, dartboard, and many games. I loved sitting on the deck and reading a book while enjoying the beautiful view. We were so grateful to be able to bring our dog, who enjoyed the large fenced in yard. We didn’t hear much noise from any other neighbors, although sometimes we could hear a horse neigh in the background which was delightful. We also enjoyed the restaurants and stores close by in Twain Harte and Sonora, and Pinecrest Lake is just 30 min away. The house was well stocked with everything you need and check in and out was very easy. Our stay was lovely, and any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly by the owners. We would definitely stay here again.
