The cabin is very comfortable — great beds and bedding. It has much of the original hardware that’s in impeccable shape. Obviously a very well loved cabin.

Such a wonderfully cozy home to weather a winter storm in! Lynette the owner was so responsive / communicative by text. We had planned on driving up to Leland snow park or Dodge Ridge (~40min away) every day but ended up playing with our daughter on the property. Sledding down the driveway in the powder and building snow sculptures was part of our blissful daily routine followed by warming up by the fireplace.
Kitchen is fully equipped with anything you’d need to prepare a meal. The pilot light to the old wall heater in the living room went out on our 3rd day but there were enough space heaters and fireplace to keep things nice and toasty. Plenty of towels and blankets. Such a wonderful home away from home.
+600mbps internet! Could’ve streamed entertainment to our hearts’ content but ended up watching classic family movies from their expansive DVD collection.
Because of the snow we needed to park our minivan on the main road about 30 yards down the driveway. Thank goodness Lynette sent me a text to warn us before the snow hit. It wld’ve been impossible to get our car up/down in this snow. Not even 4x4 vehicles were able to handle the steep grade. Obviously this property would not recommended if it’s snowing and anyone in your party requires handicap accessibility. For us it presented a super fun opportunity to sled down to our car every day to clear snow and warm up the engine.
We would come back in a heartbeat!

This cottage is great for 1-2 couples and kids. Best feature is the fireplace. Location has nice views and kitchen was well equipped. The photos are accurate and just a short drive into main part of town. Owner were very responsive to questions. We would stay again.

Good location just outside of town, plenty of food options 5-7 minute drive. Woodsy area, deer out the back window. Very clean, fully equipped kitchen. Convenient washer/dryer. Photos are accurate and up-to-date. I did not find the uphill driveway a problem at all. Prospective renters should note two items: as seen in the photos, you need to be comfortable on stairs. The traction strips def helped when wearing just socks. 2ndly, note the lack of central a/c (there is a portable a/c in the upstairs master bedroom). The temperatures hit triple-digits during my stay Aug 2022, and it was admittedly hot inside. My suggestion to the owner is more towels - one each bath towel, hand towel, and washcloth is a bit lite for a 3-day stay. But again very nice cottage, good layout, nice wood patio, flexible cancellation policy which fortunately I did not have to use.

Most unfortunately I got sick and was stuck at the cabin rather than out exploring. The cabin was pleasant and had a nice tree view, which I saw a lot of… The upstairs master bedroom where we slept had super comfy bed. Seems like a good base for exploring the area. We’d go back!

This was a great property that worked really well for our needs. We had a ski weekend plan at Dodge and this cabin was great to unwind after a ski day. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. Lynette was always available to answer any questions, and the instructions to get the property were really helpful. Only thing to watch out is that we only noticed after checking in was the upstairs bathroom has a tub only option that is difficult to use as an adult esp if you’re tall because of the slanted ceiling it sits under. But otherwise just perfect!

Our family had a wonderful stay at the Baker’s place in Twain Harte. The house was perfect for us with plenty of space and full amenities. The kids loved the loft room with all the games and videos to watch and my wife, our dog and I enjoyed sitting out on the deck under the beautiful trees.
Lynette is such a gracious host. Communication with her was so easy and she provided great information on the house and the local area. She was very accommodating and everything was set up better than anticipated.
Thanks so much Lynette! We’ll definitely recommend your place and hope to return soon.

Wonderful stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin sits high on a hill so when you are sitting on the deck it feels like you are in a tree house! It was great for wildlife viewing - we saw loads of birds including a woodpecker and some passing deer. There is plenty of space indoors as well and a very well stocked kitchen. It was really hot while we were there so we appreciated shade on the deck, the fans throughout and air conditioning upstairs. There are 2 roads that lead up to the house - one has a very sharp turn but the other does not. My suggestion would be to take the entrance to the north (basically follow the instructions from Lynette instead of Google). The road is steep but we had no problem getting up and down. Most notable about our stay was our host. Lynette went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. It was evident that she cared a great deal about making our experience the best it could be. That included tips on dog- friendly things to do in the area like live music at Eproson Park on Saturday night - I recommend it!

First of all thanks to owners for letting us to stay, warm welcoming,informative, thoughtfully organized about everything you might need or could use. Beautiful cottage right in the middle of big tall trees, clean, quite. We wished that only the driveway was asphalt instead just gravels. We have small cedan and it was quite difficult to drive up hill to park. overall we enjoyed staying here and would recommend! thank you! Vita

We had a wonderful week relaxing in the forest. The place was very clean. There were some great local hikes and lakes we visited. We spent a lot of time enjoying the deck and relaxing indoors with board games, books, and puzzles! Despite the heat outside we were able to keep the inside very comfortable and the evenings were nice and cool! Loved it!

Perfect for a small family. Upstairs area was great for our 8 year old. Yosemite was no longer accepting new reservations when we came but it didn’t matter. Pine rest lake and Beardsley lake were short drives away and super fun.

Wonderful cabin for a weekend getaway
Well equipped kitchen for cooking, ample space, and everything clean - we had a great time with our toddler during a weekend getaway.

Cozy
It’s a beautiful cottage. Very cozy... Be very careful though... neighbors dogs tend to just pop up unannounced and be very annoying. The owners seem to not care. The black pug and mixed dog would taunt my dogs. The chihuahua would constantly bark at my kids to the point they would be afraid to play outside. Our dogs majority of the time had to be kept on the deck. Other than that the cottage was comfy and cozy.

Nice, cosy house, very clean. Steep drive way and the requirement to take home your own trash could be deterring for some.

Great, dog friendly retreat in the trees
Spent many hours playing board games and visiting on the deck. Kitchen was well appointed and beds were comfortable. Only gave 4 stars because the neighbors dogs came and pooped everyday , the downstairs bathroom shower had hair in the drain and the toilet wasn't clean when we arrived.

Wonderful Cottage in the Trees!
We had a lovely and relaxing weekend at the Baker's cottage. Lynette was tremendously responsive to our questions, and helped us all the way. There was a widespread power outage in the area for several hours, due to a pole fire. Lynette followed up with PG&E and gave us frequent updates. In the meantime, we were happy to use the BBQ to cook our dinner.
Overall, we had a great and memorable weekend in the trees!

Great long weekend away
We were looking for a house near the snow to accommodate four adults, two kids, and a dog. This was perfect! We headed up to Pinecrest for sledding, then came home to the house which was nice and cozy, and surrounded by trees. We loved the fireplace. The owners were responsive and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Nice comfortable home
We stayed over the Thanksgiving Week and had a great time. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to create a great Thanksgiving meal. We had some friends come up for a visit for part of the time and it worked out perfectly. The boys slept upstairs together in the bunkbeds and the parents each got their own comfortable room. We also worked a couple of days and the internet worked perfectly. We were in contact a few different times with the owner and she was very responsive and helpful. We had our dog along and that worked perfectly as well. I am going to miss sitting on the couch with the blazing fire going keeping the house warm. Wasn't a fan of needing to take all of our trash home with us but understand this may be normal in the area.
