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.

Super comfy bed, nice tree view
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!

Cozy cabin!!
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!

We absolutely loved our vacay!
We loved how everything we would need was provided in this home. The kids got a kick out of washing their own dishes and they felt like they had all the space the needed in the loft. We can’t wait to return.

Wonderful Stay at the Baker’s
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!

one of the best rental cottages
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

Great Experience
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!

Very nice stay at very nice cabin.
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.

Good place for a family with children
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.

Beautiful location with an amazing Patio
Just came back from a short weekend at Lynette's Cabin and it was perfect. We stay in quite a few cabins between summer and winter and this is one we will be staying again. We were a group of 6 and were just looking for a nice weekend away for my birthday and had a great time. The cabin itself is nice and cozy with plenty of windows to enjoy the scenery of the woods. Our favorite part was the patio it is perfect with outdoor lighting and nice for grillng and just relaxing outside. We did have our dogs with us this is a very pet friendly cabin, there are some other dogs next door who were very friendly as well. The overall cleanliness of the cabin was good had everything we needed to cook as well as trill utensils outside. The Livingroom was perfect to enjoy some NBA playoffs after a day out on lake (pinecrest just a quick 20-25 minute drive away). Thanks again Lynette was a great 37th bday getaway.

Fantastic House
This was our second stay at the Baker’s place. It has plenty of room inside, a fully equipped kitchen and great deck for hanging outside. Twain Harte has a great market for groceries and is located in close proximity to Pinecrest Lake and New Melones Lake.

It was a gorgeous setting. A perfect place to relax
Can’t wait to come again. The only downside was the large group of dogs that kept coming over from next door and taking over the deck.

Awesome Cottage in the Trees!
We loved this cottage, it was such a well kept, clean retro cabin with all the small details that made the stay quaint. We really enjoyed disconnecting and soaking in the peace and quiet. The cottage was stocked and had a fun kid room with great movies and books. My only advice is to make sure you have a car that can get up the driveway because it is steep! The entire process was easy and the owner was very responsive and helpful with recommendations. We will be back!

Wonderful!
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It was just as described on VRBO. The owners were very quick to respond to questions and it was obvious they wanted us to have a relaxing time. We would love to return one day.

Comfortable & Quiet
The cottage was exactly as described - quiet, comfortable, and fully stocked for a getaway break. I read two books, cover-cover because of the deck with its intermittent shade and direct sun. Great place to re-energize.
Lynette was very helpful prior to my stay.

Perfect place to get away for some peace and quiet. The home was exactly as advertised. If you go during or right after a winter storm, make sure you have 4 wheel drive.

Weekend Away
Lynette was very responsive! The cottage was very clean and cozy. My kids loved the upstairs loft as well as the games and videos. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 and our puppy who loved playing with the dog next door. I missed the memo about NO wifi but instead we enjoyed some great family game nights next to the fire. It is an easy trip up to Pinecrest and Dodge Ridge,

Vacation with grandkids.
We enjoyed our three night stay. The grandkids especially enjoyed the wooded area and tree house. There was a awesome dog named Willow that would come to visit as soon as she see the kids outside. The neighbors were very nice...but they parked a vehicle on the road making it difficult to pass. The house was well stocked with everything a person would need. Beds were comfortable. Lynette was very nice.
