About this property

Entire place

Cabin in the Pines, 3BR, Arcade Room, Wraparound Deck, Walk to Town, Dogs OK

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! The top floor of our Twain Harte cabin: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, full kitchen, the wraparound deck and your own game room cabin with a 412 game arcade machine.

One minute walk to downtown for groceries, dining, coffee and live music on the weekends. Dodge Ridge is 22 miles, Pinecrest Lake is 19, Yosemite is under an hour. Sleeps 6. Dogs welcome. Need a 4th bedroom? Ask us about adding the studio downstairs.

Ponderosa Paradise is nothing short of an amazing place to be. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel how special this property really is. Great for the whole family, or for friends alike seeking to get away from the city.

WHAT YOU GET

2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, full kitchen
Wraparound deck, exclusively yours
Game room cabin, sleeps 6, counts as an additional bedroom
Smart TV's, keyless entry, 2 parking spaces

THE ARCADE ROOM We've upgraded the arcade machine to a cocktail table arcade machine which is much easier to use and more reliable. It has a total of 412 games installed! The cabin sits just steps from the main house. There's no bathroom out there, so whoever sleeps in the cabin uses the bathroom in the main house.

NEED MORE ROOM? This cabin is a duplex and the downstairs studio is rented out separately. You won't share the deck, the game room or anything inside with those guests. If you'd like to have an additional bedroom and bathroom with your reservation, please let me know as we'd be happy to accommodate. We can provide discounting by grouping both listings together.

STAYING COOL The home does not have central air, however we have installed a total of 3 portable AC units, one in the living room, and one in each of the bedrooms in the main house. The game room cabin is not air conditioned.

GUEST ACCESS

We have keyless entry and you will be provided with your own unique code upon reservation. We have 4 parking spaces located on the property. Please only use two parking spaces, as the other two are reserved for the bottom unit.

Take advantage of our new and more relaxed check in/check out times! If you need to get in early or stay late, just ask.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE

We're just steps from downtown, which means you can hear the live bands on the weekends and our little town has some ROCKING bands!

DISCLAIMERS

Great stay in the heart of Twain Harte

Family Christmas Trip

What can I say? My family and I had a great time staying at this cabin. It was my husband and I and our three teenagers. As soon as we walked in, we were welcomed with Christmas lights and a small mini Christmas tree. The cabin has been newly renovated and I loved the decor. There are new appliances and the beds are comfy. We enjoyed our time sitting by the fire, playing games and opening up our presents. Couple of things to keep in mind. Get there before dark. It’s a bit dark walking up the path. There are some outdoor lights but for me and my eyes, I would have preferred more. The game room was a huge hit with the teenagers! The cabin is within walking distance of downtown. We went for a couple of walks during our stay, and stopped off at a local bar/restaurant to watch the 49er game. Very satisfied with our stay, and would most definitely return!

Escape to the Pines.

Nice property and location. Close enough to amenities but still in the pines. Hwy 108 takes you East to stunning locations for hiking etc. Would stay here again on our next excursion!
