Mountain Lodge Family Retreat
Enjoyed our stay at the mountain lodge and would love to go back. It has a great game room in the basement that our family loved and plenty of room for all 10 of us. Kitchen is well stocked too. It’s in a good location close to Pinecrest, Twain Hart, and Sonora.

Christmas getaway
Very nice, relaxing cabin. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at this great getaway in the pines. It was a short trip up to the snow and Dodge ridge for some play time and awesome scenery. I would definitely recommend this property!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Wilderness Lodge. The kids were able to play in the snow without leaving the property. The game room downstairs was an added bonus. Everything about our time at the cabin was great.

Great location, nice property
If you want to get away from the usual fast city life, the this is the right place to go. There is a lot of space around the property for hiking and if you love indoor games they have quite a few indoor game setting or if you want to chill out doing nothing, there is a large deck, where you can sit enjoy the view and do nothing.

Fabulous all around!
Lovely experience, incredibly well stocked and comfortable home. The view was gorgeous. We enjoyed hiking at Pinecrest Lake and and West Side Railroad Trail. Great restaurants nearby. Our teenager loved the game room - never seen so many game tables in one place. Fabulous spot for quiet weekend of respite!

Family stay at Wilderness Lodge
Pictures and description in the listing were right on. In fact the house was nicer than described. Beds comfortable. Home adequately furnished with nice sofas and beds. Game room was a bonus (many hours were spent down there with all members of the family from youngest to oldest. Will definitely stay there again if in the Twain Harte area.

Family Get Away
This was our second time staying at this property and it didn't disappoint! Beautiful large home with lots of room for everyone. The amazing downstairs game room kept everyone busy and the stunning deck views were enjoyed by all. The house is very well stocked and the owners have thought of everything. The actual town is only a few minutes away and Pine Crest Lake is a short drive. We will be booking again for next summer!!

Great Family House
We had 6 adults (30 to 59) and 3 kids (2 to 8) and we had plenty of space. The location was great, house was nice and clean and kitchen had plenty of space for the food we brought. Couch is just as comfy as it looks in the photos. Beds are comfy and firm, the game room was a total hit for everyone! Jessie was wonderful from beginning to end and was quick to respond to any questions. Would highly recommend staying here and we hope to get to come back to this house as well!

Wonderful family home and location
It was perfect for our three generation family weekend! Wonderful location! Plenty of room to play and sleep. Game room was great for all ages. Toys much appreciated for littles. We all fit at table and great seating in front room too for our group. Easy and quick drive to snow. We would recommend property and would love to go again in winter or try during summer. Great communication too between property manager. Thank you sharing your home with our family!!

Twain Harte Moose lodge
Clean, large, fully stocked and an ideal location within a forest but still close to the grocery store or restaurants. It's an easy drive in and out. No snow this time but Ken mentioned that the main roads are all plowed during the snow season, all the way up to the driveway. The driveway is spacious and level. Game room was a hit with the whole family and the beds are extremely comfortable. A great stay and hope to be back. Thanks, Ken and Peggie

We enjoyed our stay at , what we now call the moose lodge. The house was listed exactly how it is. The game room was a HUGE hit. We played down there daily. Not far from town for dining or groceries. The view from the deck is amazing. We will be back for sure in the winter. Another fun trip for the memory book! Owner was super responsive too. Thanks Ken!

This is a great spot for friends and family gathering. The property is spacious and well equipped.
We had a great time at the property. Check in is smooth and the instructions booklet has great tips on thing to do around the area. The game room is amazing. Kitchen is well stocked. There is an infrared cooler which is fantastic as the grill is not impressive. Also a bit disappointed on the absence of cable TV . We were not able to watch NBA eastern final played on ESPN.
