About this property

Welcome to Casa Bella...

Spring is here and Twain Harte's dogwoods are in bloom.
Casa Bella's vintage features; leaded glass windows, rustic fir floors, and a French armoire, combined with recent renovations, make this a stylish mountain retreat.

The great room features a convenient gas fireplace, TV, DVD/VCR player, large, comfy leather chairs, a roomy couch, and a futon which opens into a full bed.

The bedrooms each have a queen bed with down comforters. The first bedroom has a peaked pine ceiling, antique, leaded glass windows, and a French armoire. The second bedroom has a full bookshelf and a connected half bath.

Have a barbecue on the deck or cook in our well-equipped kitchen. The large granite counter was made for happy hours. Or, if you prefer, stroll downtown for a leisurely meal, you are within walking distance of all of Twain Harte's restaurants. Later on, have a glass of wine by the fire, read a book, play a board game, or pop some popcorn then curl up and watch a movie. We have many to choose from.

Summer is around the corner... YES, WE HAVE LAKE PRIVILEGES,

In Fall, enjoy sunning on the deck, golf at our local golf course, a hike, or just perfect The Art of Doing Nothing.

In winter, Dodge Ridge is 20 miles up the highway, where you can spend the days skiing and snowboarding, or go to Leland High Sierra Snowplay in Strawberry, for sledding and tubing.

Make a day trip (just over 2 hours) to visit world famous Half Dome, one of many splendors in Yosemite National Park.
Also, visit the many nearby wineries, bistros, art galleries, and boutiques. Sonora is 15 minutes away, Murphys is 45.

After your travels you will look forward to returning to the pine forests of Twain Harte and the quiet comfort of Casa Bella.

About the host

Hosted by Natalie Thiele

My husband and I are originally from the Bay Area.. We have lived in Sacramento for 30 years where I ran a home staging business for 22 years. I am semi retired and now spend my time wondering what comes next.

Why they chose this property

Casa Bella has been in my family for 59 years. In 1965 our family went to Twain Harte for a two week summer vacation. We rented a rustic little cabin. As soon as we arrived we fell in love with the town, the woodsy surroundings, and wonderful Twain Harte Lake. My mother immediately found a cabin to buy. We have enjoyed many wonderful times here over the years and hope you will, too.

What makes this property unique

I like to take a project to work on while vacationing. I am always inspired in Twain Harte, and can find plenty of room to work, either on the deck or on the wide kitchen counter. When I need a break, I hike up the road, then down and around to a beautiful little lake.
I love the smell of Twain Harte. It comes from a plant called Mountain Misery. I can't tell you why it is so named, but it is a delightful smell and it tells me I'm home.
