About this property

Private Mountain Retreat Near Dodge Ridge and Pinecrest- Spectacular views

Gorgeous 3200 sq ft home nestled above the pine trees. 25 minutes from Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge ski resort. 66 miles from Yosemite. Spectacular views from every vantage point, including 2 newly remodeled spacious decks, amazing kitchen, game room, wheel chair and child friendly.

Walking distance from the market and downtown Twain Harte where you'll find a golf course, local restaurants, community pool, coffee shops and a great park for kids.

Perfect for your next retreat, weekend getaway, family vacation, milestone celebration.

Note that this house does not have membership to the private Twain Harte lake. Pinecrest lake is just 18 miles up the mountain.

Guests love to relax on the front porch with a cup of coffee and look out into the hills where often deer will walk by, while the kids have fun in the play house in the enclosed front yard.

House has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. There are a total of 8 beds including 2 king, 3 queen, 1 full, 1 twin X, 1 twin XL . There are 2 queen air mattresses available. Portable crib and pack-n-play available as well as 2 fold out foam chairs for toddlers and small children to sleep on.

House has 3 levels. You enter at the main level. There are no stairs or steps to get into house. There is one bedroom/office on the main level with a shared half bathroom just outside of bedroom. Bed is a new queen sofabed. It's very comfy with added memory foam topper. Room is equipped with Smart TV, dresser and cabinets. There is a desk with monitor and printer.

Main floor has an AMAZING kitchen with commercial oven. It opens to a deck with seating for 10 and gas BBQ. Again - no steps on main floor and its easy to get around on stone floors for those who need wheel chair access.

Upstairs is the master bedroom with private bathroom and walk in closet. There are 2 guest rooms with a shared full bathroom with shower and laundry chute. King bedroom has TV and desk. Queen bedroom has desk and reading chair.

Downstairs is what I call the "family room" since it's perfect for a family or for the kids to make a lot of noise without disturbing the rest of the house. There is a newly remodeled loft with Twin XL, over a full bed and another twin bed. Room also has a queen sofabed. Just outside the room is a private bathroom and access to the garage/game room with ping pong table, arcade game(pacman, asteroids, dig dug), 2 TVs and mini fridge. This room can also be accessed from outside with no steps or stairs and has direct access to spacious deck and porch swing overlooking the forest.

House has forced air AC and heat upstairs. Downstairs has radiant heat through the floor and window AC units. There is also a wood burning fire place. I provide some firewood, however, in winter months it's best to buy extra.

I hope you will consider our home for your next stay!

10 of us gather every year for a friends getaway. This property was more than ample sized for us. We all like to cook so the kitchen was a real standout. Plenty of common areas to gather in and two big decks.

Beautiful, well furnished home. Had everything from a gourmet kitchen to baby accessories. There were baby gates for our use as needed. The house is in a beautiful setting with a wonderful view of the forest above the trees. The only negative was a fee barking dogs. Thanl you for a great visit.

Beautiful and serene location
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. The host is very responsive and was able to solve our questions. We highly recommend this place.
