Very cool place with lots of entertainment options for kids of a range of ages. Beds comfortable, heating functional. Pretty cool neighborhood for walking / scootering around, really feels like a quiet mountain town. Easy walk to the restaurants / stores in town. We forgot a personal item and the owner messaged us very quickly and arranged for us to get it back - very kind.
We had a great stay at Bigfoot! The house was really well equipped for a family-friendly stay, and the kids and adults had a lot of fun with the game room. It was a great location - walkable to town but in a lovely neighborhood. We would stay there again!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re glad you had a great stay and would love to host you again whenever you’re back in the area.
The Bigfoot lodge was comfy, cozy and clean. We enjoyed our NYE vacation there. My kids especially loved the game room! Great location for us to go sledding and play in the snow! Would book again!
Such a wonderful retreat for our family! The teen/kids loved the game room, each reaching high scores in different games. Plenty of space for each of us to spread out, read, puzzle, color and journal. We were in a perfect location for food and town exploring plus a quick drive up to the snow for tubing at Leland! Truly a wonderful weekend experience. We cannot wait to book another trip. Thank you so much for being so welcoming and communicative.
The host was very welcoming and friendly. The cabin was very roomy and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. It's within walking distance to the restaurants in town and snow parks are just a quick drive up the mountain. The communication was absolutely phenomenal and you are guaranteed a stress free experience. We will be back to stay there again soon. We enjoyed every minute!

Thank you Michael! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and come again anytime.
we did not spend much time with all the entertainment options since we were in the area for a larger gathering. Loved the coffee grinder! And plenty of space
We had a great stay at The Bigfoot Lodge. The cabin was just as described. The AC was a huge relief as we travelled during a hot spell. The recliners and couch were extremely comfortable for our group of 6. The kitchen was well stocked and well laid out. The cabin had a fun and rustic feel which was perfect for what we were looking for. Out host, Scott couldn't have been more responsive and friendly. He answered all of our questions quickly and made the stay very seamless. Thanks again for a great stay. We will definitely be back.

Perfect house, the kitchen was well stocked, house was clean and cozy. I liked the gated yard. We had a family of deer’s grazing next to the fence. The game room was a lot of fun. The owner was great to work with and responded very quickly. I would definitely book it again.

This cabin is warm, comfortable, and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. We felt right at home and enjoyed waking to town for a few meals. Watching deer in the yard was a special treat!

Great cabin property with good access to town. Well appointed kitchen and a great game room for the kids with lots of arcade games. Plenty of board games for the whole family and a nice deck area to watch the wildlife! Cabin was rustic but you can tell the owners care about updates and working to keep it in good shape. Would gladly stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Scott Wejmar
I'm a native Californian raised in the central valley not too far from Twain Harte. I still live near Modesto, but have been coming to the Twain Harte area my whole life and I enjoy all that there is to do in the area. I'm a recently retired career firefighter and have incorporated many safety features into our cabin. Safety is our #1 priority.
Why they chose this property
My family looked at many cabins before choosing this one. The moment we walked in we knew we had found the right one. What sold us was the rustic look mixed with updated amenities and real comfort. We also lucked out with fabulous neighbors, space in between neighboring cabins, and a quiet street that's close to downtown.
What makes this property unique
Twain Harte is a piece of Americana. You know those movies about good old-fashioned American summers? Twain Harte captures that feeling. At the cabin, relax on the back deck and watch the deer come through. Or eat breakfast on the front deck and wave at the families walking by.
We hope you'll love the tasteful decorations that adorn every part of the cabin. Each room has a different theme: Bigfoot, Yosemite, deer, maps, the old west, and local flavor. If you're looking for a cabin that has a rustic look with comfort, then this is the place for you.
