Thanksgiving Memories
This is a beautiful home with fantastic views morning and evening. It is perfect for a small to large family. We especially enjoyed the spacious kitchen since we were cooking our Thanksgiving dinner there. We also really enjoyed the pool table and the fact that it is located where everyone can be together, even if some are watching a movie or playing games. It is located within minutes of downtown Twain Harte which is very convenient for last minute shopping. The host is very accommodating and responsive to any questions. We would highly recommend this property to anyone and we cannot wait for our family to go back in the future.

Great House for Family and Dogs
The owner is very nice and she is easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to any questions we had. The house itself has an entry floor with a kids bunk room and bathroom and the garage, the main floor is upstairs. The stairs are a little steep if you have anyone older with mobility or balance concerns with you, but there are handrails which is nice. The main floor is perfect for spending time with your large family. Lovely living room with plenty of seating and great views, the pool table was a big hit as well. Very spacious kitchen where multiple people can help prepare food, and wonderful dining room with a table large enough for all. The main bedrooms and the hall bath are up a few more stairs from the living area, along with the washer and dryer. The master bedroom is huge, the other two queen bedrooms are pretty normal “kid” size bedrooms. The main heat in the house is in the floors, which was amazing in the snowy weather. The decks were mostly snowed in while we were there but we could see how nice those would be in a different time of year. The hot tub was clean and warm, a real treat to relax under the moonlight and take in the snow and the crisp air. Overall the cleanliness of the home was good, there were some things like the ceiling fans being pretty dusty (especially over the bed)or some of the dishes put away with food still stuck on them but these things were not a big deal. I felt comfortable walking around in my socks/bare feet here and letting my kids crawl on the floor, which is not the case everywhere we travel. There was a very nice pack n play that we were able to use here for our baby as well- it seriously looked brand new. The home was also very comfortable for our older dog. He had a bit of a hard time with the entryway stairs, but loved those heated floors. The owners also had some nice dog friendly touches such as a mat to put under his food and water to keep the floor clean and extra dog poop bags by the door if needed. We would definitely rent this home again based on our experiences. It was exactly what I hoped it would be when I booked. Thanks so much for a great time!

Great ski trip!
We had a great stay!! We came up for a ski trip and this house is a great location with easy access to dodge ridge. The host was very kind and responsive. We came during a pretty big snow storm and Michelle went out of her way to make sure the driveway was plowed and a path was shoveled to the hot tub. The house is also very spacious and has a great layout. We hope to stay here again on a future trip!

Great layout for large group + dogs :)
The house is laid out really well, and having a lot of room was nice. The deck goes all the way around and is plenty big for everyone. Great dining table that our young adults used for gaming every night. Kitchen is also plenty big for a large group. Beds were comfortable and the AC in each room was awesome!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Cobb

Host profile image
We are an active family of six - parents, two kids, and two dogs. We regularly escape our Silicon Valley lives to spend down time with family and friends, and active days in the great outdoors.

Why they chose this property

When we first saw this house, our entire family said 'this is the one!' It's a beautiful, Mediterranean style home, well-appointed, with new furnishings, and ready for your enjoyment. Our goal was to have a comfortable, family-friendly vacation home. It's our place to concentrate on what really counts - spending time with your family and friends and making lifelong memories. Enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

The deck facing east into the Stanislaus national forest is my favorite spot for morning coffee and sunset relaxation. I tell the family "I'm going to watch the mountains move", meaning it's time to watch the cloud shadows on the mountains, or the last of the evening light setting the mountains aglow.
