The host was very communicative and gave us very clear check-in info. The house was very clean, well stocked, and very well looked after for a rental home. We were quite impressed with the level of attention to detail. It was the perfect one night stay for us and our group. Would definitely stay here again if we're in the area!

Thanks Kailani for accommodating us this weekend! We really enjoyed our time here. Wanted to let you know we accidentally broke one of your cute little wine/brandy glasses while cleaning up. Many apologies for that. We look forward to staying here again!

Cute place , comfy beds , responsive host !
I recommend this property for your summer twain Harte stay! Came with my two boys.
Pros:
+Twain Harte lake access
+central location close to downtown fun
+central ac
+opposite end bedrooms for space
+easy street level parking
+easy trash access
+fun arcade
+shoes off home (which i do in my home, too!) so cleaner than usual , *but see suggestions.
+ well appointed kitchen*
+ good water pressure
+ fast reliable wifi
+ flexible host
+ cute cabiny decor
+ it had a good happy feeling to it !
Suggestions to make it a 5! :)
-the master bath had someone’s short dark curly hair on floor . Dated in baths/could use a good coat of bleach spray on grout etc. cleaning could be more thorough for a shoes off policy .
- include procedures on the website that QR code links to for extra ease
- I couldn’t find a toaster ,but I didn’t ask
- add a dishwasher in future or charge a little extra for cleaner to do dishes at check out would be awesome ! ;)
- some sample sized toiletries and Kleenex boxes would be a nice touch
- black out shades or curtains
- add a washable couch cover or blanket . It had some tape on it and a rip . I was nervous about us creating any further damage! :)
My boys had fun and thank you so much for sharing your home !

Great location of stay
Like the overall ambience of house
The location is great for snowplay, 15 minutes to snowfights.
The house internal is darker than pics shown
The other room with king/ full bed is cooler than other spaces in the house.

Great little spot in Twain Harte
Kailani is a great host with impressive fast response to all our inquiries. Will definitely return in the future.
We wish the pinball machine was working but beyond that everything was great.
Thanks Kailani.

Comfy and Convenient
We stayed here for a snow weekend (split between Dodge Ridge and Leland Snow Park). It's about 30 minutes up the mountain to the snow from Twain Harte. Very clean, kids loved the arcade games. Even though it is only two bedrooms, lots of comfortable beds/plenty of space for everyone to sleep (there were 5 of us: me, my husband, three kids). We will come back.

The house was clean and well equipped!
There was plenty of beds to choose from and super comfortable bedding and pillows. There was 2 video games machines (which my kids were thrilled about). Less than 5 min drive to downtown Twain Hart, the lake and golf course. Will stay her again!

Winter family fun!
My family and I have never stayed near the snow. This was our first experience with this type of scenery. My kids were so excited and enjoyed every minute of it. The house was well equipped for a family. Equipped with the necessary essentials. Would highly recommend!!!

Nice get away
Is a great place to stay with plenty of room. Exactly as described. Unfortunately the pinball machine was down during our stay. But Kailani went ahead and got our group a round of mini golf for the inconvenience which we really enjoyed. Kailani was very helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely recommend to friends.
