The property couldn’t have more been perfect. We had all ages and everyone was happy with all the things that were available to entertain them. Bocce, baseball, ping pong, fire pit w s'mores were a few highlights. The house was well stocked and we were very comfortable. I highly recommend this property!

Just lovely!! Beautifully maintained, relaxing home.

This was our second time to stay as we celebrated Mom's 85th birthday. Our small family LOVED the peacefulness and serenity all the while enjoying time together. The property is incredibly well landscaped and useful for multiple enjoyment. Our host, Cathy is very easy to communicate with and answers very quickly. Already planning another trip!

Its hard to find a home with so many good amenities that can hold two families comfortably. The home has everything you need and more. We had such a wonderful stay playing games in the yard, bbqing dinners, and fire pit evenings. The beds were comfortable and the sheets luxurious.

Great place! Very accommodating for large family or group. Clean, comfortable, organized, quiet. Something for everyone on the property. A short 5 mins. from downtown Twain Harte yet secluded enough to feel the mountain atmosphere. The owner made everything easy, very knowledgeable of local interests and was a pleasure to work with. Don't hesitate to schedule your getaway here!

We had such a terrific vacation at the Mountain House. We relaxed, played, cooked, and visited the local lakes for water sports and just had a lot of fun. The property is beautiful and meets our needs as a family.

A beautiful property! Our families enjoyed a relaxing extended weekend in this amazing home. Spacious, beautifully decorated, very well equipped and a super responsive host. It was everything the listing promised and more. You won't be disappointed!

During our stay in Twain Harte, we were fortunate to stay in the beautiful home(s) owned by Cathy and Mark Burket. During our stay from the 1st to the 6th of April, the weather was unseasonably cool with snow on the ground the entire time. However, we enjoyed the property, the ability to spread out in the house and cottage, and the many tourist destinations, restaurants in the area, and the excellent Twain Harte market. The house and cottage were well stocked with everything you need when staying for a few days. Items in the house were carefully marked so we could tell what switch belonged to which set of lights, where dishes were supposed to go, and how to operate equipment. Because of the cost of electricity, the heating was carefully controlled which makes sense for those of us who continue to enjoy affordable VRBO properties. Owner support was excellent, from the best way to drive to the property, to answering questions as they came up. Checkout procedures included a detailed check out sheet which allowed us to identify issues so they could be fixed prior to the next tenant. We had two very minor issues, one of which was a light bulb that went out (and there were still plenty of other lights). Motion activated lights in the restrooms were a great, a very user-friendly safety feature. I’ll sum it up this way, while we enjoyed features like the Big Trees state park, the llama ranch, gold mining, etc., in better weather, we would have been quite content to
