The cabin is made of wonderful wood and has the charm of an older place, yet it has been modernized for all you need. Bathrooms are great (clean, good water pressure); kitchen is quaint and very easy to navigate - even has a newer floor; furnace works wonderfully if needed. Robert is a great host. He is responsive and friendly. The beds were comfortable and the linens were great quality. Games and a lot of DVD movies were on hand. Easy walk to town as advertised. Only thing I felt needs attention is the two sofas and the lighting in that beautiful room. There are wonderful older sconces, but it's still way too dark in there. I know an LED panel wouldn't match the charm, but it sure would provide light.

The cabin was very beautiful. We loved the decorations and everything that was provided. We definitely would love to stay there again in the future.

We had such a wonderful weekend! First off, Robert is a great host and communicator. He provided all the information we needed upfront including helpful recommendations about the area and was quick to respond at all times. The location couldn't be better, very peaceful, and just a short walk to restaurants and shops. The cabin itself is clean, comfortable, has plenty of space, and gives you a homey feeling. It's an excellent location for wildlife viewing too! We saw many deer, birds, squirrels, and even a jackrabbit while relaxing on the deck. We enjoyed our stay very much and can't wait to return!

We enjoyed the cozy cabin and the central location. The owner was very helpful and quick to answer questions.

It was 5 of us. Grandpa, my husband, and two boys are 12 and 8 years old. The cabin location is easy to access from the highway and close to the Twain Harte Market. Robert is an excellent host; we promptly answered all the communication we had. The kitchen has everything we need to cook for two breakfasters and dinners. Steaming TV and the Internet work great on every device. The cabin itself is adorable and comfortable. We wish we can stay more than just a weekend!

My friends and I had a great weekend staying at this Cabin and using it as a base camp for skiing ~30 minutes from Dodge Ridge. The Cabin was clean, check-in was easy, and Robert was very responsive if we had questions. The Cabin has that quaint, rustic feel but still has nice convenient amenities (i.e. the wifi worked well, we were able to stream things on the TV, etc). We had no issues with the heating and found the place warm during our stay. It was also very convenient that there are 6 separate mattresses, so it made sleeping arrangements easy going with my group of friends. We really had no complaints at all, and had a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend this cabin to others!

We are a family of five, mom, dad, and 3 kids ages 12, 9, and 9. We went skiing to Dodge Ridge and decided to stay in the cabin close to the ski resort. The cabin has everything you need, it is very well organized and the instructions on what to do are very clear. The cabin was also very clean, and our family had a blast staying there. The owner was quite attentive and always checking on us via text, which was quite nice. Highly recommended!

We had a great time here! We had three adults and three kids, and the loft worked out great for the two girls. We took it as a little snow cabin get away (although there was no snow around the cabin - too low of an elevation I guess). The main living room was really dark because of the layout (the converted sunroom to a bedroom off the living room blocks the light coming in), and they are still working on getting more lights to brighten up the space. It was actually pretty hard to see much unless I sat right next to the table lamp, but the kids had plenty of fun playing games. Be aware that there are NO TOWELS. I didn't quite read the listing close enough to see that: my friend caught it and I luckily brought towels at the last minute, but it did mean that getting in the shower was less desirable because I didn't want to pack a wet towel in the car. The communication with the host was lovely: he had a great list of places nearby and let me know there wasn't any snow nearby, but did recommend a snow park about half hour away. We ended up going just about 15 minutes away up the highway and found two great spots to go sledding: one was a bare hill covered in snow and full of excellent little sledding spots. The other spot was a gorgeous little meadow where we could snowshoe around the running river and it had icy bits on top of marsh land (perhaps? hard to tell) where the kids could just run and slide around. There were also great sledding spots in the meadow. We really enjoyed this vacation and it suited our needs!

Pondering Pines is a a charming cottage for a short or long visit. It has all the amenities that a family needs and then some - plenty of room, beds, games etc. to keep everyone comfortable and occupied. The cabin is close to all the local favorites of Twain Harte. Robert was also accommodating with our some requirements that came up. We would be happy to stay at Pondering Pines again.

Lovely cabin, well equiped, prrfect location

Cozy, well stocked family cabin. Wonderful get away for the holidays...definitely will return.

My family had a wonderful stay at this place! The cabin is cozy and provides many amenities. The check-in/check-out process went smoothly. The owner, Robert, is very easy to communicate with: he responds to our requests promptly and is always there to help. The cabin is located in a beautiful town, surrounded by the giant pine trees and a quiet and friendly neighborhood. The location is very close to local restaurants. We tried The Rock, a restaurant that Robert recommended, and the food was delicious. This was our first time visiting Twain Harte. We visited during the winter, but this place provides many opportunities to explore during the summer as well. We will definitely visit again!

Great classic cabin! Very well maintained and comfortable! Close proximity to a larger cabin we also rented as part of our family Thanksgiving gathering. Robert is a proactive communicator and made sure we reach him if needed. We had a wonderful time together!

We just returned from a week-long stay at Pondering Pines, and found our accommodations to be wonderful. We were looking for an older era Twain Harte cabin, and this fit the bill. The cabin was nicely outfitted, and Robert was helpful and accommodated our every need. Hope to be staying there again next year (or sooner).

We had a wonderful stay in this cabin. It is in a great location - it's an easy walk to town for mini golf and ice cream. This cabin offers lake access, and the owners were very helpful in securing reservations (now required due to Covid) for the dates of our stay. We had everything we needed - a great large deck for meals and enjoying the quiet setting, and a small but tidy and well-supplied kitchen. Communication was great, and we felt welcome and informed from the day we booked.

This is a wonderful traditional Twain Harte Cabin. The check in process was clear and easy. The owners were knowledgeable and forthcoming with information about the area and activities. The cabin was well stocked and supplied.

This was the first time we stayed at this cabin. Everything was as described, and Robert was the most attentive host I’ve ever had. It was a great stay!

The cabin is very clean and well maintained with everything we needed for our stay. Robert is a kind and thoughtful host, communicative and available but not intrusive. The setting could not be better! Quiet location and just a short drive to a fantastic lake with lifeguards, two water slides, and a great snack shack. Would definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Pondering Pines cabin. The cabin has a nice rustic feel, fully equipped kitchen, large deck area and a short walk to downtown Twain Harte. Robert was a very attentive, responsive host. We appreciated the activity suggestions, restaurant recommendations and other details that helped make our vacation memorable.
