Large cabin close to Strawberry river and Pinecrest

This cabin is large and easily accommodated our family. We enjoyed the game room, however stairs are steep. Also based on the description we thought the game room and master bedroom would be on the main level, but it’s actually downstairs. It is within walking distance to the strawberry river (about 1/2 mile). Loved that we were able to bring our small dogs with us. The property could use some updating, but we enjoyed our stay!

Change of Venue

Originally we were staying at Change of Attitude in Pinecrest. However, due to problems with the property we got moved to Twain Harte. The house was great and accommodating all our needs. The only issues were the neighbor’s dog got in the house, found dirty silverware in the drawer. Although not the area we wanted it worked out great.
