We couldn’t have chosen a better place for our family to spend a long weekend. Wish we had the time to stay longer. The home is absolutely beautiful and had everything that we needed. Mornings were spent drinking coffee (provided) out on the deck counting deer as thew strolled by. We will definitely be going back.

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.

This house welcomed us with spacious layout, gorgeous view from the windows, all decked kitchen, and a family friendly living room. Kids enjoyed books, toys and board games, and PacMan in the garage. It is 20 minutes away from Pinecrest lakes where we spent almost every afternoon. Twain Harte town council has a new boba place and a few shops for us to explore.

We had a wonderful time with our family at Cheryl’s beautiful home. This was our first time to Twain Harte and the location is great! There were 11 of us and there was plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable. We stayed 4 nights around Easter and Cheryl welcomed us with Easter gifts! Very clean and comfortable home! Definitely would stay again! We also took a trip to Columbia which is only a 30 minute drive. There is a family of deer that love hanging out and we watched them from the deck. Cheryl is a wonderful host!

Cool House

We have been to Twain Harte many times during the years and my adult kids wanted a place with air conditioning. Well this place was always cool and the overhead fans were very helpful. Everyone liked the large kitchen. My grandkids aged 3 to 5 enjoyed the play area out front. A couple issues occurred during our stay and the owner was very quick at taking care of them. Also while talking with the owner she was very pleasant.

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.
