Please come and enjoy Pondering Pines Cabin in historic Twain Harte, California, only 2.5 hours from the Bay Area.
Our cabin is one of the original cabins built in 1937.
Our peaceful redwood cabin shares the property with two giant Ponderosa Pine trees. We are located on one of the most beautiful and quiet streets in Twain Harte, just a few blocks away from downtown shops , pee wee golf and restaurants.
The neighboring cabins are only used by the owners which keeps our area very quiet. There is one VRBO cabin right across the street that would work great for extra family members.If you are interested I can give you the VRBO number.
Our cabin also has lots of space between the other cabins and only 2 cabins are located behind ours and they are on a private road! Plenty of room for kids to safely run around!
Pondering Pines Cabin sleeps 8 with 2 bedrooms, a sleeping loft that serves as a third bedroom and two full bathrooms. The upstairs bedroom has a queen and a twin bed. The downstairs bedroom has a queen and twin bed also. The loft has two twins and one full bathroom upstairs and one downstairs as well.

Many Californians know Twain Harte as an excellent vacation destination for families. Some of our renters are third generation Twain Harte vacationers! Pondering Pines Cabin also features lake membership. Great memories can be made spending sunny days on the beach at Twain Harte Lake. Twain Harte Lake is a large swimming lake with fishing, diving boards and water slides. There is a full snack bar that serves everything from burgers and fries to snow cones and ice cream! http://www.thlake.org Winter days can be spent at Dodge Ridge Ski Resort just a ways up the highway.https://www.dodgeridge.com

    We had a wonderful time in the cabin--we were two adults, our young teen, and his two college aged cousins, and the space was perfect for us. When we grown ups wanted to turn in for the night, the younger generation was very glad to stay up late watching a movie in the loft and we were happy they didn't have to shut down their fun together to let us sleep. We played cards around the coffee table, and cooked together using the vast array of spices in the kitchen. The wifi for Netflix was slow/spotty the first night but smooth our second night. Location was perfect-- just about half an hour to the snow this time and super close to the town. The indoor twinkly lights were festive, and the fire super cozy. It's not a wintry mountain getaway without a fire, in my opinion! The owner was very responsive when we had a question, which we greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us-- we made special memories with our family who are growing up too fast!

    Stay was wonderful. Great cabin. There was only 3 of us so space was fine. Great deck with nice patio furniture so we enjoyed our time outdoors. Good location as we walked to town every morning for coffee. Loved it

    The cabin was great, very clean, we loved it. We spent a lot of time on the deck. The neighborhood was so quiet and it is so close to town. The beds were comfy, we all slept well and the bathrooms were nice. The cabin was creaky, but it was part of the charm. And finally the owners were really great, communication was really good. Thank again for letting us stay.

    A perfect spot for a family. Comfortable cabin and close to everything. Wrap around deck is especially inviting in the summer. The host made sure we had everything we needed - which we did!
