Great time in Twain Harte

A great place to stay, especially if you have a big group. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, arcade cabinet, board games, and nearby mini-golf. Comfortable spaces for the grown ups to relax.

Perfect for a family/friend getaway

Home was absolutely beautiful and came equip with everything you would need. Extremely comfortable for our group (12 people, mix of adults and kids.) Perfect location (close to grocery store/restaurants and not too far from the lake.) Excellent spot if you are looking to relax, enjoy time with family/friends, and spot some wildlife (lots of deer and birds which we loved!) Would definitely return again.

Feb. ski day + 75th celebration

We booked this property because it is near my brother's home, and we needed to house a group of us so we could celebrate our mom's 75th birthday. A family ski day was her request! This property was perfect! We walked into Twain Harte, easy drive to Dodge Ridge and the kitchen had every kitchen tool/item we needed. Snowy day: we used the front are fire pit, lower deck to enjoy the storm and the game room. This property would be wonderful in the other seasons as well. We would rent from this property owner again! Cheryl responds very quickly.

Awesome place!

The owner is responsive with inquiries and confirmed that the house was ready for our late arrival. There was plenty of room in the driveway for multiple cars and the house sits on a cul-de-sac so you could park at the top of the driveway if necessary (e.g., snow). There were extra sheets, bedding, and blankets around, although I might suggest bringing some extra if you have the max # of ppl and you need to spread out. This was one of the few nice houses that could accommodate our three families with kids in beds of their own! The kitchen was well- equipped, although I would bring some containers or baggies for leftovers. The bathrooms were great (adults seemed to like the upstairs shower in the hall) and they had heated floors, and we loved the fireplace! The family must be tall because the kitchen island was high and the window to the outside on the front door was so high! The boys loved the game room (garage), and the girls liked the outdoor decks. I liked the nice touches they added, like offering earplugs. They seem to be a lovely (and trusting—No locks on owner cabinets/closets!) family, and we thank you for graciously opening your home. Oh yeah, kudos for the written labels everywhere!!

From the details in the woodwork and architecture to the comfort of the beds and vastness of the double deck with stunning Mountain View’s, this is a slice of heaven for the guests!

Beautiful Home for All Age Groups!

We had a wonderful annual family weekend in this beautiful, huge, comfortable home at the end of a quiet lane. (Wish I had 1/2 the closet/cabinet space in my own house!) The house is fully equipped with ALL amenities and is very child/toddler friendly! Our 18 month old had a great time. Cheryl was an understanding, generous, and accomodating host. We had a rocky start with the housecleaning crew but Cheryl quickly resolved the issue which we greatly appreciated. We all created lasting joyful memories. Thank you to Cheryl and her family for sharing their vacation home with us.
