About this property

Available all year. We have central air and heat to keep you comfortable no matter the season.

This cabin allows you exclusive access to beautiful Twain Harte Lake (minimal entrance fee), just a few steps from the cabin (2 minute walk). This is a 'members only' lake open from Memorial Day through Labor Day that is the signature attraction of Twain Harte in the summer.

Our cabin has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath upstairs and 1 large suite and 1 bath downstairs.

One upstairs bedroom has a king sized bed and one set of twin bunks. The other bedroom has a queen sized bed and a queen sized sleeper sofa. Also upstairs is one bath w/shower, living room and fully stocked kitchen. Living room has two more queen sized sleeper sofas.

Off the living room is the outdoor deck with views of the trees, birds and sometimes deer coming down from the hill behind the cabin. If you look carefully, you also have a filtered view of Twain Harte Lake through the trees. On the deck is a gas BBQ and two tables put together in an L-shape with 12 chairs to squeeze everyone around for dinner. Also on the deck is a 'little people' table that can seat 4-6 little persons.

Downstairs room has separate entrance and has 1 king bed, one set of twin bunk beds and 1 queen sized sleeper sofa. Also downstairs is one bathroom with shower. Laundry room with washer and dryer is also located downstairs. There is no interior stair case. You have to go outside in order to go between the upstairs and the downstairs of the unit.

Perfect set-up for the extended family, the teenagers will be happy downstairs in their own 'suite,' with HD smart TV, doing their own thing while the adults and rest of the family can be upstairs enjoying the outside deck and their own HD smart TV in the living room. If you have your own Netflix account, you can access it with the smart TV's.

Linens are included. Bring your own bath and beach towels. The cabin has brand new central A/C and heat.

Available all year so you can enjoy Twain Harte during all four of its beautiful seasons! During the summer months, the rental terms runs Saturday to Saturday. Dogs are allowed with owner's permission at $15/day per dog.

Cozy Cabin
Listing was accurate! Plenty of beds for everyone and the older kids enjoyed staying downstairs and having their own space. I was definitely relaxed in this cabin. It’s cozy and not fancy at all. Worked great for us since we have toddlers. I didn't feel anxious having to run around behind them at all times. We traveled in the winter time, but definitely would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the lake access around the corner.

My Family of 13 Twine Harte Trip
Book marking this cabin would absolutely being returning for another trip. Cabin was clean and very comfortable I took my family of 13. (2 elderly with 3 children) great location plenty to get into with a little research. Property manager was very informative and helpful with all my questions and concerns. My family was so grateful That I booked here but the appreciation goes to kevin. Things to know,- a lot of places in the surrounding area like gas stations are pet friendly. Great trails near by. My grandfather loved the casinos that were around (chicken ranch resort) lake was beautiful. My trip was 9/27/24-9/30/24

Fun at Lake with some concerns
First the great news- wonderful location- could not be better- easy walk to Lake...all of 3 houses away. House accurate as described, but some concerns. All the bedrooms had large captains beds which were comfortable; however, they were so high that it was difficult for kids to get up and down and one of the kids nearly fell off in the middle of the night. If there is anyone with physical limitations they may not be able to get onto bed- Although there were multiple pull out couches in house, one could not be used as it could not unfold as it hit the bed; The home could use some TLC; it was not dirty, but appeared that way- the rugs looked worn; the curtains were dark and dank; We had to purchase soap, and dishwasher tablets; we nearly ran out of garbage bags. Clearly stated that towels were not included, but towels and soap would have felt more welcoming- Even with all the above, we had a great time.

Perfect location for lake fun!
Being able to walk to the lake in a couple minutes is so great with a bunch of little kids--also great for our two remote workers who were able to enjoy lake breaks during their days. The house has plenty of parking, a well equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds. Kevin is a super-responsive host and a pleasure to work with!

Group Getaway
We had a large group of 13 with multiple families. Kevin’s house worked out great. We loved the deck and upstairs for hanging out. Really appreciated the a/c too! The close proximity to TH Lake was amazing. We have been coming to TH for decades and in the past a trip to the lake was always an event. This year people could come and go as they pleased and it really added to the vacation mindset. We are already looking forward to next summer at this house.

Great lake access from cabin with more plusses than minuses.
One of the main reasons to rent this cabin is the easy walk to Twain Harte Lake, and access via the owner putting you on the list with the folks at the lake entrance kiosk. The kitchen was very well stocked with plates, silverware, mugs, and glasses. plenty for even 18 people. Knives for prepping food were the typical vacation rental quality, dull but functional, not great if you're used to good knives at home. A/C worked very well, both upstairs and downstairs. Bedrooms and beds as pictured. Main beds in each room were great. Hide-a-bed mattress in the upstairs bedroom was very thin and you could easily feel the framing when laying on it. Even the 3 and 5 year old kids noticed it as they slept on it. The bunk beds had plastic covered mattresses, like from a camp or dorm room. Bathrooms were fine, although the bathroom downstairs was a little musty smelling, probably doesn't get enough ventilation. Deck was lovely with lots of umbrellas and furniture. Grill worked great. Having the upstairs and downstairs only accessible by an outside staircase was OK since it was summer. Parking was OK for our three cars. The parking space closest to the street is difficult to access because the driveway is steep as you drive in and the dirt and gravel are loose. Otherwise we parked like the pictures that Kevin sent. We didn't have any extra trash bags, and needed more. I reached out to Kevin on Sunday evening and he had someone bring them by Monday morning! Would definitely rent it again.

Classic house in great location
The house really is a hop, skip, and a jump from the lake. We were there in-between seasons so the town itself was downright quiet but still had fun in the snow up at Pinecrest Lake and Strawberry. The house fit all our needs with lots of bed options and fully stocked kitchen. (Though note some sofabeds make for a tight fit when fully pulled out, and a full 18 in the house would be pushing it.) Sure, the ambiance and amenities might be considered dated but, hey, it all harkens back to the bygone days of classic Twain Harte. Thanks Kevin!

Super cute house
There were plenty of pets for my whole family, all 15 of us. The place was fully equipped with tons of warm blankets, dishes, TVs for the kids, and even a little stash of toys. It was definitely a little home away from home.

We liked it
We had a great stay at the house! The location is very good, really just some steps from the lake, and it feels like being in a park. The heating is good, the beds are comfortable, clean, the bathrooms same. The kitchen works, a bit outdated, but ok. 18 people can indeed sleep there, but there are only 2 bathrooms, and we had to manage sitting down together inside. If you are a lot outside, hiking, skiing, it works great. The decks looked really good, but it was rainy and cold, so we could not use them. It is a wonderful house for vacation, we would rent it again,

Location great needs a very deep cleaning and an update
The location of this cabin is awesome. That being said it is like stepping back into the 1970’s. The house it self was very dirty. The carpet, the walls, some of the dishes, and the oven were extremely dirty. There was a hole in the wall in one room, the curtains were inoperable on the rods and the sliding door lock was broken. The microwave was from 1970 and took 8 minutes to boil 4 cups of water. The stove and oven were old but worked adequately. The refrigerator was very small but it worked for us. With a deep cleaning, some paint and some appliance upgrades this could be a dynamite place. I messaged the owner about the condition of the house. He was pleasant but said it was because of the house being rented so often that the house was dirty. It has been quite a while since the house was deep cleaned. We have rented houses in Twain Harte before and are familiar with the area and the houses that are availble.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin

Host profile image
born and raised in the East Bay, I've been vacationing in Twain Harte with my family for over 20 years as a renter. Finally made the jump to owner and would like to share my wonderful Twain Harte cabin with you.

Why they chose this property

When I was looking to buy a cabin in Twain Harte, I only wanted one that was walking distance to the lake. This is very convenient, as you can easily walk back to the cabin for lunch or any other reason. I've spent most of the year getting it ready for vacation renters, now it's ready for you to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

this home sleeps 18 and is a five minute walk to the lake. Twain Harte is a family friendly place where the grandparents to the newborns to everyone in between have been making treasured family memories for decades. This home can accommodate your extended family and friends comfortably and affordably. Bring the whole gang and start making Twain Harte memories of your own.
