This is a fun cabin for a family with children. The cabin has lots of games, a fun decor, and Lake Twain Harte privileges. Mike, the property manager, was responsive.

Cute little house with a lot of room. It is nothing fancy but somewhere you can chill and relax with the family including pet members. It was 20 minuttes out from Pinecrest, Lyons reservoir and close to lots of different hikes. The only minuses was you can't walk around the neighborhood because the cars go super fast and there are no sidewalks. We were going to go for a walk to town with the dogs and we quickly realiized it was not safe. Also the private lake was had so many rules there really isn't much use. No food, no dogs, no floaties, no alcohol. . No fun?. I was really excited about the lake so that was a big bummer. The little house did was has so much to make you comfortable and lots of space. It think it will be a great place for winter break.

Great communication with owner and easy check in process. Very convenient location. We had a great week!

We enjoyed the relaxing and very quiet area. Thank you so much for letting my family stay at the Lair. This was a perfect get away.

Cozy, funky, charming cabin. Wonderful area to explore.

We had a good stay at Dandelion’s Lair. It is an older, quirky house, but it was plenty of space for our group of 7. Pros: Good location, walking distance to main part of town, enough kitchen seating for a group of 7-8, plenty of dishes and utensils provided, Membership to the lake. Cons: The house is older and creaky with uneven floors, toilets are leaky (one has to be turned off between flushes or it runs), needs a good deep cleaning, not enough comfortable seating in living area for a large group, Keurig is broken - only works with reusable coffee pod, carpets/blankets could use a good wash. Overall it was comfortable enough for our family, we did have to stock up on a couple of things like paper towels and soap. I wish there was more comfortable seating in the living room, like a couple of recliners or bean bags. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the neighborhood was quiet.

We enjoyed our stay. Everything we could have needed was there and then some. We placed the sheets in washer and dryer as directed though it was more than I would have put in my washer and dryer. I did notice yours are much larger than mine. So I guess it was OK. We were unable to completely close the lock box for the keys. Sent an email about that to the owner. Never heard anything though.

Cute and quirky cabin in the heart of Twain Harte! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Propane was empty, so had to change our dinner plans

I had booked the house back in December for a Christmas present for my kids, hoping there would be snow, but knowing our favorite spot would be an option and Twain Harte would cut our drive in half. The house was perfect for us and had all we needed. We missed the big snow storm in Twain Harte by a few days, but I think I'm glad we did so we were able to get in and out of Twain Harte and up to Pinecrest! We even got to enjoy the deck for lunch one day. Would be a great spot in the summer.

Excellent rental and the owner was very helpful on advise about the weather and getting there safely

There isn't a stainless steel appliance or granite countertop to speak of, which is exactly what we wanted. You aren't going on a trip to try out a new gourmet recipe--you're going to spend time with family in a cozy, funky, family house. The wall artwork has been put up willy nilly, there are books and old Disney VHS movies (my teen didn't know which way they went into the player). There is a hodge-podge of dishes. The floor goes up a step here, down a step there, and is tilted in places. There is enough room to spread out--one bedroom down that way, one down that way... Manager Mike was extra responsive when we feared we'd be stuck in the Blizzard of '23. There is a fenced in yard which the dog appreciated, a carport which kept the deep snow off our rental car. The driveway is as slippery as Mike said it was. The furnace kept the house warm and there is a wood-burning stove (you'll need paper). The town is easily walkable, even in the snow. Not so goods: --a constantly running toilet should have been disclosed before we got there. Our girls had to turn on the wall knob every time they needed to use it. --the kitchen bowls and pots and pans needed to be pre-washed before using. --it didn't feel "extra clean", but it didn't feel particularly dirty. Cobwebs and dust, yes. Rodent droppings, no. --the beds were passable, but not as good as home (are they ever?). --the windows were old and drafty. They shook with the wind. This doesn't affect renters as the furnace fights against this, but my goodness I can't imagine the energy costs. In conclusion, we would absolutely stay here again and look forward to doing so. We know what to expect.

great place to stay, We had a blast! We are definitely going to book this place again. Great location.

The property was nice and Merry. There were a lot of towels, blankets to keep us warm. The kitchen was stacked with all of the essentials and more. The living room has lots of space for kids to bounce around or sit and enjoy a movie of the group of 6-8. The house is very warm, the fireplace works so does the heater. We really enjoyed our New Year's celebration stay which was full of cooking, baking cooking and staying indoors watching Harry Potter. We are thinking to come back and visit during Summer.

Had a great time at this location. Everything you need nothing you don’t. Plenty of space for the 7 we had.

Cabin provided everything we needed for the weekend. A bit difficult to find in the dark. Overall happy experience.

Everything was perfect. 2nd time staying here. Thanks

This home was perfect for our weekend reunion. The bedrooms are all separate so there's privacy for all. Lots of seating and the kitchen/dining room are roomy.

Didn't spend much time in the cabin mostly just to sleep, very comfortable beds.

We had a great time in Twain Harte and really enjoyed our stay. Mike was a great host. We look forward to coming back!

We expected a cute, clean cabin from the previous reviews and were disappointed to find a cluttered house that is having big foundation issues. Also, there was paint peeling from some of the walls, there were many cobwebs and so I wasn't comfortable using the closets. There were very dirty windows from previous dogs staying in the house. The location was good and the house could be adorable but it needs a deep cleaning (especially the rugs) and some maintenance done.

Sweet place for a family!

Enjoyed our stay. Twain Harte Lake is close, which was great! Plenty of room for family. Host was very quick with responses to questions. AC was great, as it was during a hot spell. We would stay again

We really appreciated the Lake Privileges! The cabin was clean and roomy and had everything renters would need. The neighborhood was quiet, even on a holiday weekend. The central air conditioning was excellent! The owner was very responsive to our inquiries.

Loved our stay at this property! Such a warm welcoming place!

We had a nice time in Twain Harte. The location was great, but we didn't spend too much time in the cabin itself. It's a bit dark and cluttered.

This unique little gem was perfect for our writing retreat! Nestled in the woods, we were able to focus, enjoy nature, and cook tasty meals to enjoy at the end of the day. Better yet, the fenced in yard allowed our dog to lounge in the sun. This would be a perfect place for a family too. The check-in process couldn't be easier, and the place had everything we needed for an escape. Will definitely be back to this fun, cozy cabin!

Great home for four adults, two kids and a dog. We had plenty of space to relax and enjoy meals. If the weather was warmer, we would have spent more time out on the deck. Definitely a little quirky, but we like that for a vacation cabin in the woods. Can't beat the location too. So close to downtown and an easy drive to Pinecrest and Columbia SP. Great stay overall!
