Gorgeous Private Mountain Retreat Near Pinecrest Lake and Skiing

3200 sq ft home nestled above the pine trees. 25 minutes from Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge ski resort. 66 miles from Yosemite. Spectacular views from every vantage point, including 2 newly remodeled spacious decks, amazing kitchen, game room, ADA and child friendly.

Walking distance from the market and downtown Twain Harte where you'll find a golf course, local restaurants, community pool, coffee shops and a great park for kids.

Perfect for your next retreat, family vacation, milestone celebration.

Note that this house does not have membership to the private Twain Harte lake. Though Pinecrest lake is just up the mountain.

Guests love to relax on the front porch with a cup of coffee and look out into the hills where often deer will walk by, while the kids have fun in the play house in the enclosed front yard.

House has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. There are a total of 8 beds including 2 king, 3 queen, 1 full, 1 twin X, 1 twin XL . There are 2 queen air mattresses available. Portable crib and pack-n-play available as well as 2 fold out foam chairs for toddlers and small children to sleep on.

House has 3 levels. You enter at the main level. There are no stairs or steps to get into house. There is one bedroom/office on the main level with a shared half bathroom just outside of bedroom. Bed is a new queen sofabed. It's very comfy with added memory foam topper. Room is equipped with Smart TV, dresser and cabinets. There is a desk with monitor and printer.

Main floor has an AMAZING kitchen with commercial oven. It opens to a deck with seating for 10 and gas BBQ. Again - no steps on main floor and its easy to get around on stone floors for those who need wheel chair access.

Upstairs is the master bedroom with private bathroom and walk in closet. There are 2 guest rooms with a shared full bathroom with shower and laundry chute. King bedroom has TV and desk. Queen bedroom has desk and reading chair.

Downstairs is what I call the "family room" since it's perfect for a family or for the kids to make a lot of noise without disturbing the rest of the house. There is a newly remodeled loft with Twin XL, over a full bed and another twin bed. Room also has a queen sofabed. Just outside the room is a private bathroom and access to the garage/game room with ping pong table, arcade game(pacman, asteroids, dig dug), 2 TVs and mini fridge. This room can also be accessed from outside with no steps or stairs and has direct access to spacious deck and porch swing overlooking the forest.

House has forced air AC and heat upstairs. Downstairs has radiant heat through the floor and window AC units. There is also a wood burning fire place. I provide some firewood, however, in winter months it's best to buy extra.

I hope you will consider our home for your next stay!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony.

Nice and quiet
10 of us gather every year for a friends getaway. This property was more than ample sized for us. We all like to cook so the kitchen was a real standout. Plenty of common areas to gather in and two big decks.

Great time in Twain Harte
A great place to stay, especially if you have a big group. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, arcade cabinet, board games, and nearby mini-golf. Comfortable spaces for the grown ups to relax.

Beautiful, well furnished home. Had everything from a gourmet kitchen to baby accessories. There were baby gates for our use as needed. The house is in a beautiful setting with a wonderful view of the forest above the trees. The only negative was a fee barking dogs. Thanl you for a great visit.

Beautiful Home for All Age Groups!
We had a wonderful annual family weekend in this beautiful, huge, comfortable home at the end of a quiet lane. (Wish I had 1/2 the closet/cabinet space in my own house!) The house is fully equipped with ALL amenities and is very child/toddler friendly! Our 18 month old had a great time. Cheryl was an understanding, generous, and accomodating host. We had a rocky start with the housecleaning crew but Cheryl quickly resolved the issue which we greatly appreciated. We all created lasting joyful memories. Thank you to Cheryl and her family for sharing their vacation home with us.

We had such a lovely stay! The house was clean and large, perfect for a big groups. We had adults, teens and little kids and everyone was happy with the house. There are fun things for little kids which was so helpful. My teens took over the basement and loved having their own space. The host was so kind and quick to respond. Would highly recommend the property.

Beautiful and serene location
This house welcomed us with spacious layout, gorgeous view from the windows, all decked kitchen, and a family friendly living room. Kids enjoyed books, toys and board games, and PacMan in the garage. It is 20 minutes away from Pinecrest lakes where we spent almost every afternoon. Twain Harte town council has a new boba place and a few shops for us to explore. The host is very responsive and was able to solve our questions. We highly recommend this place.

Family Time
We had a wonderful time with our family at Cheryl’s beautiful home. This was our first time to Twain Harte and the location is great! There were 11 of us and there was plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable. We stayed 4 nights around Easter and Cheryl welcomed us with Easter gifts! Very clean and comfortable home! Definitely would stay again! We also took a trip to Columbia which is only a 30 minute drive. There is a family of deer that love hanging out and we watched them from the deck. Cheryl is a wonderful host!

Feb. ski day + 75th celebration
We booked this property because it is near my brother's home, and we needed to house a group of us so we could celebrate our mom's 75th birthday. A family ski day was her request! This property was perfect! We walked into Twain Harte, easy drive to Dodge Ridge and the kitchen had every kitchen tool/item we needed. Snowy day: we used the front are fire pit, lower deck to enjoy the storm and the game room. This property would be wonderful in the other seasons as well. We would rent from this property owner again! Cheryl responds very quickly.

Gorgeous, cozy, well thought-out home
Cheryl’s place exceeded the expectations of my entire group! I didn’t have to worry about my toddler at all because all the stairs had easy to use gates installed. Everything was so well thought out and the place was stocked - probably the best rental kitchen we’ve ever used (though we didn’t cook, we were able to easily find other necessary items for food prep). The home is so gorgeous and cozy and we had an absolutely wonderful stay.

Cool House
We have been to Twain Harte many times during the years and my adult kids wanted a place with air conditioning. Well this place was always cool and the overhead fans were very helpful. Everyone liked the large kitchen. My grandkids aged 3 to 5 enjoyed the play area out front. A couple issues occurred during our stay and the owner was very quick at taking care of them. Also while talking with the owner she was very pleasant.

Perfect location (close to grocery store/restaurants and not too far from the lake.) Excellent spot if you are looking to relax, enjoy time with family/friends, and spot some wildlife (lots of deer and birds which we loved!) Would definitely return again.
