Wonderful family forest getaway

We loved this cabin! The layout and location were perfect for us. We had 3 children with us and there was plenty of room for them to play outdoors. It was also a short walk to multiple eating options.

Cozy Twain Harte Cabin

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this cozy cabin with our two adult daughters and 3 teen grandchildren. The cabin has been in the owner's (Gail) family since about 1940 which made it all the more special. You can tell they have made many upgrades over the years. It has a wonderful large deck with a great gas barbeque. My daughters and I loved lounging on the deck and reading some good books. Gail is very nice and easy to get in contact with. Our family very much enjoyed our stay in this cabin.

Great location

We did a girls getaway for the first time. My granddaughters, daughter, daughter in law and me. 8 of us. The owner Gail was so great we were only staying for 2 days so she let us check in a few hours earlier so we didn’t waste so much time. The property is so close to town great location. Great places to eat and the house was very comfortable for the 8 of us. She communicated so well with me and called me the day before to see what time we were coming and to see if I had any questions. Thank you Gail for the nice trip

Beautiful location & more than a few hassels

On the plus side, we were exactly at the elevation where there was lush forest, but no snow to dig out from, yet a mere 30 minute drive to ski slopes, snow parks and gorgeous Pinecrest Lake. There was a lovely, easy 4-mile walk just a short drive away. This house had old-fashioned charm, plenty of hot water for showers and a table we could all sit around. Our host, Gail, was readily accessible by text or email. On the negative side, both the furnace and pellet stove failed to work at different points of our trip. We had to spend time on the phone trouble-shooting. (A written manual for these devices AND all other instructions would have been helpful.) I had to ask for the Instruction Packet to be emailed to us. VRBO listed this house as having a hot tub, which it did NOT. Gail, informed us of this just days before our stay, even though we had booked 2 months prior. She offered to buy us pizza to compensate for the inconvenience, but we were looking forward to cooking together. Sadly, the kitchen did not have enough large cooking pots or serving bowls. We were charged a $1500 deposit, so I was nervous about all the rickety furniture and the pilot going out on the furnace. The house is listed as having beds for 10 people, however, one of the beds was in an alcove that was way too cold. (Plastic was place over most of the windows for insulations.) Finally, I had to ask for the deposit back after nearly a week.

Beautiful large cabin in the trees

Gail was friendly and answered all my questions promptly. Everything you need is provided including kitchen towels, soap, foil, plastic wrap, spices, a NEW in the wrapper kitchen sponge, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, laundry soap, everything! It was hot when we visited so we used the ceiling fans and pulled out the floor fans. Opened the windows and by bedtime it was cool enough to sleep comfortably. The property is walking distance to downtown where we enjoyed exploring the live music, restaurants and mini golf. We chose to drive to the lake because we had a bunch of stuff. Can’t bring your own food in but the snack shack makes restaurant quality food at a reasonable price. The cabin is comfortable, clean and the neighborhood is quiet. We would definitely stay here again.

Two Weeks in Twain Harte!

Wonderful two weeks in Twain Harte. The large lot was great for the kids to play in. We had deer visit every night. Great location - close to all Twain Harte has to offer. Loved the large deck where we were able to hear the live music coming from the town center on the weekends. Our large group appreciated the two full baths and the washer and dryer was so convenient. Gail was an amazing host. Hope to return here again!

Dad's Funeral

The host Gail put a bouquet of flowers and a sympathy card on the dining room table on our arrival day. It was very comforting. The cabin was perfect for my family to be able to come and go for the family events that occurred during the four days we stayed. Definitely would stay at this property in the future especially under better circumstances.

Great deck, close to town

The cabin has many advantages, being on a lovely tree-filled lot, easy walking distance into town. The large deck is wonderful and the lake privileges are a plus. There’s plenty of parking and plenty of fans. We found a few problems, however. There were windows next to beds with no screens. That was a safety concern with small children. Also, several windows were taped shut, which made it harder to cool the rooms at night. Some of the windows had no coverings, making it a challenge to block out the sun/heat. Several bedroom lamps didn’t work. So the window issues were a significant problem for our group, but everything else about the cabin was fine.

Great vacation spot!

This property was great! Big outdoor deck and lots of space outside for the kids to run around and play. Conveniently located and getting to town/restaurants is very walkable if you want to take a break from driving. We spent almost every day of our stay at Twain Harte lake- only a 5 min drive and the kids loved it!

About the host

Why they chose this property

My grandfather built this cabin in 1940 for his family. After my father died, my mother continued to vacation at Twain Harte with the four kids in my family. We'd stay the entire summer and loved it. Still do. Currently, I own the property along with my brother and we have improved it throughout the years - new roof, foundations, siding, interior walls, new electrical, new plumbing and tankless water heater, log woodwork, new deck, a completely remodeled upstairs bath, and added a dishwasher, garbage disposal and more cabinets in its traditional cabin kitchen. The cabin is very updated with a vintage feel. If you're looking for new, luxury vacation rental, please ask me. Am happy to provide some recommendations.

What makes this property unique

Large flat property with parking for 10+ cars...many lots in Twain Harte are smaller with little parking. Great place for kids to safely play away from the street. Cabin sits among many tall pine trees but is less than 1/3 mile from the little town of Twain Harte, and 2/3 mile from Twain Harte Lake. Deer visit the property often.
