About this property
The Sweet "Harte" Retreat
Our peaceful and relaxing mountain getaway has a wrap around deck and fire pit (during non fire season) for entertaining and just to relax and unwind a mist a backdrop of trees. Along with a gas BBQ we do provide the propane tanks but do not maintain them you may bring your own or exchange them ( for a fee) in town for a full one. We also provide wifi streaming for indoor entertainment as well as lots of DVD's. In the bonus room we have a Wii for the kids and a playstation 2 plus an indoor basketball game. We do have a lot of stairs throughout the cabin being its a tri level and unfortunately we do not have any handicap access available. Parking- We have 2/3 depending on vehicle size on street parking places as well as another driveway to park ( but its steep and we don't advise you park down there unless you have all wheel drive) and not at all during the wintertime. ~Year round enjoyment~ Twain Harte has a 9 hole golf course and a 18 hole mini golf course. Along with tennis courts that are free to the public year round. Sonora is a short 10 min drive to antique shopping and they also have a 18 hole golf course named Phoenix Lake. Railtown in Jamestown is a big hit with the kids. Black Oak Casino is fun for gambling and a bowling alley. Columbia State Park and panning for gold. Wine tasting~ La Bella Vineyard Gianelli Vineyards Griffin Vineyards Larson Vineyards Oaks Family Vineyard Plus many other wineries in the Calaveras area to explore.
~~~~ SUMMER~~~~ Free Friday Night Movies in Eproson Park Free Saturday Night Concerts in Eproson Park Although we do not have a lake access membership we do refer our guests to river access places that are very fun for all ages. Twain Harte community pool Pinecrest Lake is up the road about 18 miles and worth the drive with plenty to do. Hiking, boating, fishing, kayaking along with swimming and a picnic area. The Lake also has an amphitheater where they have family movie nights in the summer. Cover's Apple Ranch is a fun outing for the whole family plus they have yummy apple treats and more.

Hi, my name is Heather. My husband and I fell in love with the Twain Harte area and decided to buy a place to enjoy for ourselves and to be able to rent it out for other people to enjoy our little piece of paradise.
