Wonderful Getaway in Twain Harte

We were so delighted to see the beautiful holiday decorations when we entered the Lone Star Lodge. The home was absolutely clean and ready for us to enjoy! And enjoy we did! We used the barbeque, the fire pit and the hot tub during our stay. Every little thing we needed was there! We look forward to visiting again in the summer!

Relax at Lone Star

Lone Star is the perfect vacation home to renew, relax and enjoy with your family. It has become our yearly go-to winter retreat for the last 3 years. Jackie always makes sure we have everything needed and her holiday decor always enlightens my grandchildren. It is a spacious home with comfortable beds and furnishings. From the backyard adventures to the upstairs media and Game Center, you will be glad you stayed at the Lone Star.

Amazing stay - we’ll be back!!

We stayed in Twain Harte for a snow weekend at Dodge Ridge, and Jackie and Allen’s place was the perfect home away from home. It was fully stocked with pots, and pans, herbs, spices, extra towels, and sheets, extra blankets, an awesome living room and dining room that fit our entire party! Everything was clean and just as described. It was an easy walk to the village and 25 minutes to skiing. Wonderful, cozy stay. Thank you for opening your home!

Good time was had

The house was clean when we arrived. It accommodates quite a few people and since the most we ever had was 6 it was plenty big for us. Kitchen, dining area, and LR are all open. Big DR table, nice seating areas outdoors, a relaxing front porch, and a hot tub. Convenient to Pinecrest Lake and quite close to Twain Harte Lake. We enjoyed the amenities of the house and convenience to the lakes.

Relaxation in the Sierra Foothills

I have arranged week-long family vacations in a half-dozen California & Arizona locations over the years, and Lone Star Lodge is the property we've most enjoyed. Features we appreciated were the large, modern kitchen (since we prepared all of our meals in the home), spacious dining area, private back yard with many seating options, walk-in stone showers, attractive decor, and lake membership. It was so relaxing to sit outside and read a good book, and there are easy-drive options such as Calaveras Big Trees so visit. In many rental properties, because of the construction and layout, once one family member is up in the morning, the entire household is aware of the noise. Not so here - folks were able to sleep late or stay up late without rousing others. We also enjoyed the drive from the central coast, choosing to travel off the main I-5 route through small communities to sample their bakeries, fruit stands, and diners.

Paradise for families

Wonderful home shaded under beautiful California Redwoods and Cedars. Walking distance to a quaint little town highlighted by Eproson Park and its surroundings, 9 hole golf course, 18 hole Peewee golf course, skate park, bocce ball and playground with grills to BBQ. Saturday nights offer up free music as well! Tennis and Pickle ball courts to play. Having Twain Harte Lake access was great. Those children able to pass the swim test got to swim to the rock and test their abilities then dive off the boards as a reward! Caught tadpoles in our nets and screamed off the slides, ate at the Snack Shack, then fished off the damn for trout in the evening. And if that's not enough for you, Pinecrest Lake boat rentals and outdoor movie theater, Columbia gold panning, Calaveras Big Trees, Moaning Caverns and wine tasting in the towns of Murphy and Arnold. After a long day, hot tub under the Dogwood trees and movie night upstairs. Only wish I had rented earlier in June to see those Dogwoods bloom and beat the summer Yosemite rush just 60 miles away.

Bit of Heaven in Twain

Outstanding cabin for our family! Great layout with kitchen and main level within a few steps of parking. Wonderful upstairs area for the children to play and read. Excellent hot tub and sleeping arrangements. I like the location because it’s close to town and the store. The crown jewel of Twain is the Lake! Kids swan and built sand castles for 5 days-enjoying an afternoon frosty cone every afternoon! The host provided great communication and made our stay memorable for a lifetime!

Family ski trip

We had a great stay at this property. The home was large with plenty of room and space for our family of 5. We really enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. Great location near town, restaurants and a park for our kids. 30 min from skiing and tubing. Overall a wonderful home. The hosts were very communicative and provided great recommendations.

61 Years and Counting!

We had a lovely stay at the Lone Star Cabin in Twain Harte. We have been coming up to Twain Harte for 61 years and have stayed at many cabins during this time. With a growing family we now rent or own three cabins in the area. This cabin was great because of its location to the town (we could walk to eat or drink), its lake privileges to the private Twain Harte Lake, its large rooms, living room and back area. The kitchen had everything we needed. Everything was beautifully upgraded and worked well. It accommodated my 94 year old mom because there was hardly any stairs to climb to get into the cabin and it has two downstairs primary rooms with attached bathrooms. The upstairs was great for our young adult children, with plenty of places to sleep and their own kitchenette and TV. All in all one of my favorite cabins so far. Thank you for being such a great host, Jackie!

Beautiful cabin for large groups!

We had such a good time at Lone Star Lodge! The cabin was very comfortable for our big group of 4 families. The upstairs media room was a perfect for all the kiddos to have a sleepover. The kitchen was well-stocked, table easily accommodated all of us, and location was very close to downtown! There was some snow the first day we got there and the side of the house had a little sled run for the kids, they had so much fun! Jackie was also very easy to communicate with throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for all your gatherings.

Yearly Twain Harte Family Vacation

Lone Star was a very nice cabin, we did have a full house. I think the outdoor area was out favorite place to hang out! Kids enjoyed the swings, and we made s’mores in the fire pit. Lots of seating for the whole family to enjoy our meals outside!😊. Another plus is the lake privileges!

Wonderful stay!

We spent a week here and it was so enjoyable! There were 10 of us- 4 kids ages 2, 7, 7, and 9 and they all had a blast! There were plenty of games and toys for the kiddos. We went when the weather was 102° so even though the house still stayed warm, the AC was a must and such a relief to have! We all had plenty of space and never felt on top of each other. The kitchen is well stocked. We did run out of paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags so I’d bring some if staying for a week- the local store was kind of limited and expensive. There were a few minor things that should definitely be fixed (broken stair rails, loose faucets, wobbly ceiling fan), but definitely won’t keep us from renting this home again next summer! Easily able to walk to downtown Twain Harte for dinner and mini golf which was a major plus! Short drive to the lake and we were able to get in every day despite not having our dates chosen in the lottery. Wish we were still there! Can’t wait for next summer!
