CONSIDERATIONS/DISCLOSURES:

-When checking the weather, it is best to use Mi-Wuk Village as your reference location, as The Pine Cone House is at a higher altitude and closer to Mi-Wuk than central Twain Harte.


-The Pine Cone House is NOT a party house. In this community, we wave hello and goodbye to our neighbors as we drive/walk down the street.


-The Pine Cone House has a Ring doorbell and exterior cameras. We care about the security of our home and our community.


-Our driveway will snugly fit 4 cars, maximum.


-Guests have garage access, but the garage can only fit one car because of the games.


-There are stairs and a steep drop from the road to get to the lower deck and backyard area. Please walk on designated gravel steps.


-BBQs/Fire Pits: Propane tanks are available, but not actively maintained. Consider bringing your own tank or exchanging the existing tanks at the local gas stations.


-We are a mountain house and we live among wildlife: bears, wild turkeys, deer, mountain lions, etc.


-Trash is an issue in mountain areas. You will be asked to take your trash home with you past our one bag per night allowance. Please do not leave food outside!






WINTER TRAVEL

-It is highly suggested that cars have chains or 4-wheel drive during snowy months. Main roads get plowed by the city and shovels are provided for guests to plow the driveway, if needed.


-Keep the house clean by removing muddy boots with the hose on the side yard and leaving them to dry on one of the many racks in the garage.


-There have been power outages in the past and road closures due to storms. Travel insurance is recommended.






MORE DETAILS:

Located in the sweet Sugarpine community nestled in between Mi-Wuk Village and downtown Twain Harte, our home is only 16 miles from Pinecrest Lake and 19 miles to Dodge Ridge Ski/Mountain Biking Resort and 8 miles to Black Oak Casino. Yosemitee, Lake Don Pedro, and Lake Tulloch are also close by. The Pine Cone House offers excellent wifi and cell service, proximity to plenty of restaurants and shops, all while being in the privacy of the Sierra Nevada mountains of the Stanislaus National Forest where guests enjoy hiking, fishing, biking, skiing, and camping.





This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 1874sq ft two-story house has two bedrooms on the main level, and two bedrooms with an additional living/game room downstairs. Each level of the home is equipped with a Cal-king bedroom making The Pine Cone House ideal for two families, or a group that enjoys the options more space provides. Note: Although this home is two stories, the main living level is accessed from the front door and does not require stairs to enter. The front entrance has double doors to allow for wider wheelchairs, or even strollers.





Work remotely in the summer with air conditioning (not very common in the area), or in the winter with central heat, and high speed Wifi. There is a dedicated work space in the master bedroom with a full desk, computer monitor, and a professional office chair, and an additional desk in the second upstairs room. Or, kick back and relax, catching up on your favorite series on our smart TV’s in each bedroom, main living area, and game room, all equipped with a Roku, a house Netflix account and a house Disney+ account. No need to use your own logins (unless you want to, of course!).





The home comes with garage access, ideal for unloading all your vacation extras and mountain bikes. Take advantage of any of our personal beach/snow toys hanging on the walls. The home is family friendly, with plenty of books and toys available in the garage rec room and family friendly extras in the downstairs and hallway closets, such as a pack and play and bumbo seat. There are stairs, so please watch your little ones. You can find an extra baby gate and play pen to guard off the stairs if you choose.





Finally, enjoy your morning coffee and/or a special nightcap cocktail on the upper deck while keeping warm with the propane fire table. There are two picnic tables with umbrellas for outdoor eating. The lower deck is also equipped with chairs to enjoy views of your children playing in the snow or possible wildlife strolling by in the early morning.

Booked the Pine Cone House for a birthday weekend getaway and I highly recommend! Beautiful home with awesome views in the back patio! Having a hot tub was a nice perk as well along with their game room! We had so much fun staying here and not needing to leave, so I’m sure you’ll feel the same when you book it as your next getaway

Family snow weekend
Our stay at the Pine Cone House was great! The house has everything you need for a fun, relaxing weekend. The location was perfect- close to Dodge Ridge for skiing and Black Oak Casino for a little gambling. The house was stocked well and the charging stations, Wi-Fi and TV options were great for all age groups. Communication with Jessica, our host, was easy and she replied promptly to all inquiries. We were expecting a big snow storm and Jessica helped us plan for every potential outcome. We would definitely like to stay here again and would recommend this house to those thinking of visiting the Twain Harte area.

The PERFECT home for a Girls’ Getaway Weekend!
Our group of 9 friends truly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. Some places just don’t live up to the photos or description of the posting but the Pine Cone House is even better in a real life. Every thing; the fully equipped kitchen, the comfortable sofa, the large dining table, the outdoor spaces (2 decks!!) and the beds and baths were perfect. But it was also the “little” things; ceiling fans, dimmer switches, charging pads, numerous outlets and power strips, nightlights, full length mirrors, and having everything LABELED that just made it that much more perfect!! The host was so easy to communicate with and when we had two very small problems (a smoke alarm beeping due to low battery and a can opener not working) she sent someone immediately to solve it. We saw deer on a walk through the neighborhood and enjoyed some time at the beautiful PineCrest Lake nearby. We were having so much fun we realized after we left that we forgot to sign the guest book so we all agreed we’ll have to go back again so we can do it next time! We also talked about returning with our own families because it really is a wonderful home with a fantastic host.

Truly a wonderful property in the Lake Pinecrest area. I have stayed at several other places and this house is hands down the best. The house has a wonderful layout with large windows and doors so that you are surrounded by trees. There are two very large balconies, one one each floor with lovely private views.The kitchen is spacious and the living room is very comfortable. There is an amazing garage with interesting lighting and games. The beds are clean and comfortable. And the piine-cone decor is very cute. The parking is easy, no steep hills or curves. I really did not want to leave this house! Would also like to mention that the host is very accommodating both before and after the trip. I had forgotten something at the house and was able to contact the host and go back and collect my item. Overall, very highly recommend this house!

Every Little Detail!
The property surpassed all expectations of what a rental home should be! Jessica was extremely responsive to my questions before and during our stay. The house layout, activities and amenities really showed the level of care and detail needed for hosting family and two small infants. There was an extra booster seat, pack and play, games throughout, and a very nice deck for grilling and enjoying the beautiful weather. Next time we go to pinecrest we will definitely stay here!

Lovely, well equipped home!
We had a mother/daughter weekend with 5 moms and 5 teen daughters and there was plenty of space for us all. The home maintained a cabin charm while being aesthetically stylish and updated; it was even more beautiful than the pictures. There is a large assortment of kitchen accessories that all functioned nicely! The garage is made into a fun game room where the homeowners have thought of everything - board games, lawn games, sunscreen, bug spray, and even scavenger hunts for kids. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer, and straightener were in every bathroom and they even provided a cute "in case you forgot . . ." basket! The deck was fabulous and the neighborhood was quiet! We would highly recommend staying at Pine Cone House and will stay again when we next visit the area.

Amazing experience
My family and a couple other families stayed at this property for 2 night. We have children aged from 6 to 16. We all agreed that our experience is pretty amazing. Location: it's at a quiet neighborhood, close to 108, but not close enough to hear any noise from the highway. Property: house is not very new but it's very well maintained and super clean. Everything is very well documented. The host (Jessica) has prepared all supply that is listed in the listing page plus some extra thoughtfully. Host: Jessica is always responsive and considerate. She provided clear instructions before/during our stay and made the check-in/out process smoothly. Everyone in our group was impressed with her warm hospitality and thoughtfulness to her guests. We will definitely come back when we are visiting the area again, and we appreciate Jessica for providing such a lovely place to make our trip a huge success. ❤️

Just like Home!
I wanted to start off by saying that this is the first time we have ever stayed at a Vrbo that truly felt like home! All rooms were spotless with CLEAN sheets and quilts. Every room came with a tv and roku remote, it was very convenient and we were able to watch the World Cup final on our last morning there. Jessica truly thought of every single thing to be accommodating during our stay. If we needed foil, she had it, grilling supplies–she had it, even kids plates/cups etc were provided. The first floor is an open floor plan with 2 bedrooms, one including its own bathroom. The dining table is huge with plenty of seating and there are also the bar stools at the kitchen counter that are also convenient. Throughout the house, tiny signs were provided with information, which was super helpful! There were cell phone charging docks provided throughout the house, which was an awesome detail! The open plan of the home makes it great for your party of up to 12 guests. They even made the home childproof as well as had a baby booster set for feeding and a baby pack and play crib in the master room. Also, we noticed they had toys and board games for children and adults to enjoy as well. Our daughters enjoyed the game room very much. I can't stress how clean this place was and being the germaphobes that we are, we felt extremely comfortable during our stay here. There are some great restaurants within a mile from this cabin, and Dodge Ridge and Leland snow play are all within a 20-30 min drive. They also provide sleds in the garage so that you don't have to rent or bring your own. Very convenient! This will definitely be our annual family snow trip getaway spot! We had the best experience staying at this cabin. Jessica was VERY responsive to all of our questions, and we will come back to stay here again.

A gem of a place!
This property piqued our interest immediately, as it seemed handsomely appointed and recently updated. It exceeded our expectations. Every single detail was thoughtfully considered and addressed. The kitchen was generously equipped with brand-new dinnerware, flatware, and glassware. Everything we needed was easy to find, and tidy labels mark every shelf so one knows where to return items after use. The home even has its own logo which is emblazoned on a dozen mugs and on wall art in the main living room. The spaces are extremely comfortable. The primary living space is an open floor plan with living room, dining room, and kitchen on the first floor. In the summer months, doors open from this combined space onto a fabulous wide and deep deck with sofas, picnic table, and fire pit. There are two bedrooms on the first floor: the primary bed and adjoining bath, a second small bedroom with double bed, and a powder room. The lower level has a small game room, laundry, full bath, and two bedrooms, one with a king bed and fireplace; the other with two queen beds. It was absolutely perfect for our group of seven. There are supplies for children, including a bassinet and pack-n-play, a child’s portable high chair, books, and games. The foosball table in the game room was a huge hit! We will definitely hope to return to this wonderful home next time we ski at Dodge Ridge!
