A FANTASTIC mountain home surrounded by tall forests: TWO homes (with LOTS of room inside to spread out) proudly stand on this flat green 3-acre lot with PLENTY of room for outdoor fun. (You CANNOT FIND a multi acre FLAT lot or a LARGE LAWN in ANY OTHER property in the area.) Historic 100+ year-old apple trees on the LARGE lawn add to the charm of this property. The main house has 4 bedrooms upstairs with 2 FULL bathrooms, plus a 1/2 bath and a den downstairs.
(MOST Rentals in Twain Harte and surrounding area ONLY have queen beds. WE HAVE 4 KING BEDS!!).
The Cottage has sleeping for four, a LARGE FULL bathroom and a LARGE fully-equipped kitchen. The Cottage is an "ADD ON" for an additional fee of $200 per night and is NOT rented separately. Both houses are furnished with lots of beautiful decor.

3 California KINGs beds with super comfortable mattresses and super comfortable sheets! Trust me on this, you'll be HAPPY :)

Just off the kitchen is a laundry area and a 1/2 bath. The living room is large and comfortable. The den, just off the living room, is equipped with a desk, couch, games and DVD's. Upstairs you will find four bedrooms (THREE have KING BEDS), a master bathroom and another FULL bath.

One FULL bathroom and a FULLY EQUIPPED kitchen. The Cottage is an "ADD ON" for an additional fee of $200 per night and is not rented separately.

Large decks surround both the house and the cottage and a large multi-burner propane barbecue is there for your enjoyment. There is a custom made 81' bocce ball court, corn hole, badminton, croquet, whiffle ball, horseshoes, ping pong, basketball hoop and fire pit for s'mores!

85 and Fabulous
This was our second time to stay as we celebrated Mom's 85th birthday. Our small family LOVED the peacefulness and serenity all the while enjoying time together. The property is incredibly well landscaped and useful for multiple enjoyment. Our host, Cathy is very easy to communicate with and answers very quickly. Already planning another trip!

Beautiful Home and Property
Its hard to find a home with so many good amenities that can hold two families comfortably. The home has everything you need and more. We had such a wonderful stay playing games in the yard, bbqing dinners, and fire pit evenings. The beds were comfortable and the sheets luxurious.

Perfect Setting
Great place! Very accommodating for large family or group. Clean, comfortable, organized, quiet. Something for everyone on the property. A short 5 mins. from downtown Twain Harte yet secluded enough to feel the mountain atmosphere. The owner made everything easy, very knowledgeable of local interests and was a pleasure to work with. Don't hesitate to schedule your getaway here!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Burket

Host profile image
Mark and Cathy Burket, their three sons and two daughter-in-laws, all love the peaceful beauty of the Sierra Mountains. The Burket's have been blessed to have the opportunity to have a home in Twain Harte, Ca. They have enjoyed many years of exploring the area where Mark Twain and Bret Harte, two famous American authors, gathered their inspiration, and they believe the beauty of the gold country is truly California at its best.

Why they chose this property

The Mountain House is close to several lakes - Pinecrest Lake, New Melones Lake, Don Pedro Lake, Lake Tulloch and Lake McClure. These lakes offer all water activities, fishing, and party boat rentals, kayak rental, etc. Experience adventure rafting down the Stanislaus River! Pinecrest has an awesome outdoor amphitheater in the summer where first run movies are shown. Also close by are the historic towns of Jamestown, Columbia State Park, Sonora, Murphys, Big Trees. In Sonora you can enjoy everything from pizza to Thai Cuisine, as well as shopping Sonora's historic South Washington Street. Remember to stop for wine tasting, antiquing or have fun riding the #3 train that was in the movie "Back To The Future" in Jamestown! Or, spend the day over in Murphys wine tasting and take in a concert at the amazing outdoor IronStone Vineyards concert venue where top artists perform! *Also WestSide Pavilion Concert Venue with BIG name artists in Tuolumne is less than 20 minutes away.

Dodge Ridge Ski Area and Leland Snow Play are about 20 miles east and provides for all sorts of snow activities. Also about 20 miles away are the Moaning Caverns - beautiful caverns lined with gemstones. Have fun panning for gold, fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, or wine tasting, all while surrounded by gorgeous scenery. And don't forget about Yosemite National Park--about 60 miles away--considered one of the most beautiful places on earth.

There are several golf courses in the area - Teleli in Sonora (15 minutes). Copperopolis in Saddle Creek (25 minutes) or Green Horn Creek in Angels Camp (30 minutes). Or play the charming nine hole course in downtown Twain Harte - only 5 minutes away.

Sierra Repertory Theater provides professional stage productions at its theaters in Columbia and East Sonora.
Like to gamble? Black Oak Casino is a 20-minute drive south to Tuolumne City.​
NEW to Tuolumne County AND less than 20 minutiae door to door is the WestSide Pavilion Concert Venue!

What makes this property unique

A very private retreat nestled next to the Stanislaus Forest surrounded by natural beauty. We have made this a place you will want to return to again and again.

"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike. " John Muir
