Twain Harte Lake, pool/hot tub, by skiing/Dodge Ridge

LOCATION + AMENITIES perfect for families or a couples getaway! Charming Twain Harte home w/ private lake access, private pool and spa on property! One-of-a-kind home with beautiful touches throughout. Only home in Twain Harte with its own pool (available in warmer months) and a five minute walk to downtown! Renters have access to the owner’s Twain Harte lake (a true gem!) membership during their summer stay and can enjoy the beautiful property’s large and shady front and back yards, multiple outdoor seating and eating areas under peaceful trees as well as an in-ground pool and hot tub on the deck. The house sleeps 8+ comfortably (1 queen, 2 full, two twins, 1 toddler bed) and is fully equipped with additional baby/toddler equipment if needed, including an additional toddler bed and an infant crib as well as other baby equipment. The house is very-well stocked as the owner's own family vacation home with kids toys and games (as well as adults!), and most kitchen/serving items anyone would require.

If you love the house but need more beds, check out our guest house next door, which is listed as a separate rental (Retreat #2 - please enquire when booking). If it’s available, you can book both and sleep an additional 3-4 people (1 full, 1 pullout futon) - the main home is plenty large enough to entertain all guests.

More Property Info:
The property has a huge footprint with very large front and back yards with plentiful spaces to rest, play, eat and work. We've added little touches throughout to create that special Twain Harte magic that both kids and adults can enjoy (think swings for the kids and little log seating areas; think peaceful outdoor respite areas for the grownups). The inside common areas are good-sized and offer great space to have meals together, play games or veg in front of the multiple Smart TV areas. Also special to the property, our renters are able to get into the private Twain Harte Lake on our membership (summer months only). This lake is the reason we bought in Twain Harte - you must come see!

Twain Harte is magic and our home is in one of the best, most peaceful and most walkable neighborhoods proximal to all downtown Twain Harte has to offer. The street has many full-time and part-time residents with great neighbors and pretty properties to stroll by all under the big trees. Our home is a quick walk to all downtown Twain Harte eateries, bars and activities and a 25 minute drive to Pinecrest Lake/Dodge Ridge for skiing, with other lakes for boating and fishing nearby. Come enjoy all Twain Harte has to offer (the town boasts an executive golf course, mini golf, bars, restaurants, shops, private lake and local events and activities year-round) with easy access to amazing hiking/biking trails and all activities in the great outdoors both winter and summer.

***Things to know before booking***:
- While you can have a great time on our property, this is not a party house! We prefer to rent to families or couples or responsible groups of people who will treat our home as their own. We welcome fun, BBQs, pool/spa parties, apres ski, cocktails and the like - we just prefer that you pass our property by if you'll be bringing a rowdy group or people who don’t care about respecting property. We and our neighbors will thank you!
- If you like all things modern and sleek, this property may not be for you! (Please see photos). We bought this 1943 house in its charming state and have done everything possible to preserve that including adding our own country chic flair to it.
-The property has multiple desk and seating areas to work in a quiet space. The house has high-speed internet and streaming on multiple TVs.
- You assume all risk for using our pool and spa - as noted in our rental agreement. Please swim responsibly and watch children at all times. Importantly, please note that the pool can be fenced off by closing the gates at the top of the stairs off the back porch (the only access points to the pool). A great (and strongly recommended) option for families traveling with young children.
- The house is fully stocked as we often use the property ourselves. This means pretty much anything you could need in the kitchen as well as shelves full of movies, games and books. We hope you enjoy, keep everything in the (reasonable) condition you found it in and please leave everything at the house. Thank you in advance!
- No fires outdoors as the area is very high risk for fires. The indoor fireplace may be used but we ask that you let us know as we have very specific instructions to follow given it is a stove insert. Thank you for honoring these rules!
- We may consider allowing one well-behaved and house-broken dog only under special circumstances (extra fees would apply).
- This is a house in the mountains and things can change quickly! We do not offer reimbursement for unforeseen events that may occur during your stay such as a snowstorm, heavy rains or a minor power outage. It’s very unlikely that any of this would impede your stay. If, however, the house cannot be accessed due to heavy snows at the property we do offer refunds on those reservations regardless of our rental policies.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Twain Harte Miniature Golf. You'll find features such as 1 hot tub and an arcade/games room. Free WiFi and a private pool are available in the holiday home.

Great Family weekend
Perfect family and friends get away! The family room was big enough for everyone to hang out to play board games and watch movies. The hottub was a lovely way to end the night! Kids said it’s their fav house so far in our 5 years of trips to Twain.

A Great stay in Twain Harte
We were a party of 10 with 3 children ranging from 8 to 11 in age. They absolutely loved the outside area with a large pool and a hot tub to go into in the evening. The pool was the highlight for all of us, it definitely cooled us off with the warm weather. The main house had a very nice kitchen to work in and plenty of room at the kitchen table when eating in , plus an outdoor table under a canopy was nice. I would definitely rent again but I would also include the retreat cabin next to the main house to make sleeping accommodations better. Air conditioning was a plus and needed during the summer time.

Family Friendly Fun Cabin
Title: Family-Friendly Fun at Twain Harte Cabin Our recent stay at this cabin was fantastic for the whole family! The cozy cabin was well-equipped for a perfect getaway, with antique decor that made us feel at home. The location was perfect for outdoor activities and exploring Twain Harte. We enjoyed the hot tub and lounging by the pool, making it a great stay for both adults and kids. Highly recommend this cabin for a peaceful retreat in nature. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
