About this property
The Cranes cabin, clean, cozy & private cabin in Twain Harte, Perfect for 2!
One of the original Twain Harte cabin rentals from 20 years ago, this authentic 1 room knotty pine cabin in the woods is unique and the ideal getaway! Located on a quiet private road, it is perfect for 2. We pride ourselves in providing a super clean, nicely outfitted cabin with plenty of warm natural light and cozy spaces to enjoy the beautiful landscape, fresh air and a authentic cabin vibe. This darling cabin is within walking distance to town, and the charming surrounding Twain Harte neighborhoods, but at the same time affords more privacy from neighbors. Enjoy the fresh scent of pine in the air as you sit out on the beautiful sunny deck, relax in the chaise lounges to the songs of the birds. We have many local deer that enjoy the surrounding property, so please observe them safely and respectfully, you can often hear the crunching of leaves as they meander around the property. No feeding the deer please and always keep a safe distance. A complete kitchen with newer appliances, beautiful granite countertops and all the utensils, pots and pans you will need to make Martha Stewart proud! Clean up is a breeze as well with a dishwasher. Dine outside on the deck or stay in at the lovely granite peninsula for two, your choice. With special pieces of vintage skis, fishing nets, creel and pack baskets the nostalgia of the mountains is complete, not a detail has been missed. Why pay for a hotel when you can enjoy the beautiful luxuries of this special cabin! Furnished with a spacious King size bed, and a full size futon you have all you need to enjoy reading a book from our library, or enjoying a movie complete with a crisp soundbar, just log in to your own app account, This cabin is equipped with wireless Wi-fi, for those who need to check back in with the real world occasionally. New carpet and window shades have just been installed as well. Though not very big, it is charming and has all the spaces that matter the most without all the extra space of some larger cabins. This cabin is truly the relaxing, private, and special place for a couples getaway to recharge. Excellent wall heater is the heat source, which heats up quickly on those chilly winter days. Plenty of level parking. Fresh linens and towels are provided as well as fresh ground coffee and creamer to start off your morning. There is a onsite washer and dryer for your convenience, comes in handy for those week long stays. Propane barbecue on the stone patio for those grilling meals.
Centrally located you can head up the hill 45 minutes to ski/snowboard at Dodge Ridge, head down the hill to Sonora and Columbia for a day of shopping and experiencing a Gold rush town, or over to Yosemite National park for a hike and waterfalls or to Murphys for some wine tasting! We are the center point of it all!
Start the New Year off by treating yourself to this experience. We look forward to hosting you!

Thank you for choosing our cabin Kristy, we look forward to hosting you in the future.
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely little cabin. The location is great, secluded, and private yet only a short trip into Twain Harte. The cabin itself was very clean, modern and had many special touches that you don't usually see in a rental. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Very informative host that had a clean cabin waiting for us. My wife ,I ,and our two dogs had a very restful time in the cabin and we were not to far from pinecrest. Will be staying here again!
We loved everything about our stay. It was in a great location, walking distance to town yet still secluded. Everything was very clean and comfortable, even the futon! My husband and I along with our 2 year old and dog had a great time.

Wonderful guests; kind, clean and great communication. Looking forward to their return visit.
I loved my stay in this quaint cabin in the woods. Check-in was easy, the cabin is sparkling clean, very comfortable and has a full kitchen to make your own meals. I wanted a place close to Stanislaus Forest for day hiking and this fit the bill perfectly.

My wife and I stayed at the Cranes cabin with our dog over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The cabin is just the right size, very well maintained and stocked with everything we needed. The Cranes are wonderful hosts and made our holiday away from home amazing!
We’ll definitely be looking to stay here the next time we visit Twain Harte and we highly recommend a stay if you’re in town.
We so enjoy every aspect of this cabin.
We felt so welcomed. The decor, linens and amenities were so thoughtfully chosen. The deck is a favorite.
We will definitely return and discover the cabin in wintertime.

The cabin is on a nice quiet street. It is the perfect size for a couple. The kitchen is nice with everything you need to cook. There is a nice deck with table to enjoy your meals or just relax. We had a great time staying here. Geneva is great and fun to visit with or help with any questions you have. Highly recommend this cabin.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The property is perfect for relaxing and the town of Twain Harte is lovely too! We would recommend to anyone looking to get away while enjoying the amenities of a small town. Day trip ideas- Yosemite and Pinecrest Lake. Absolutely beautiful time!

This little hidden gem was just what we needed. The place was immaculate and very well appointed. It is hidden away on a very quiet, scenic dead end street. Only 1 car drove by our entire 3 day stay. Super cozy and relaxing. We will definitely be going back again.

We would love to have you return, until then Take Care.
We had a lovely time staying at the Crane cabin. It was my husband and I and our 2 small kids and it was cozy, but perfect. The kitchen has all of the necessities, the appliances are new and the bed is very comfortable. The location was perfect for us to visit Leland snow park, Tuolumne and Columbia. Also, the kids park in Twain Harte was a hit with the kids.

My husband and I loved our stay in this cozy, mountain cabin! It was bright, cheery, clean and very comfortable with everything we could possibly need: a well-stocked kitchen, a very comfortable bed, a lovely patio area complete with grill, outdoor table, deck chairs and peaceful, mountain scenery. It's a short 5 min drive to town where we found a number of nice places to eat, some cute shops and a great grocery store. Communication with our host was excellent, and we hope to return very soon for another visit!

About the host
Hosted by Geneva Crane
We are a family of 5. My husband John and I have two beautiful little girls, 16 and 12 years old and now a darling 7 year old boy! My husband is a amazing carpenter but really a 'jack of all trades' and has an amazing eye for detail! He completely remodeled this sweet little cabin and has turned it into a little gem in the woods now! This cabin is immaculate and serene. Outfitted beautifully with charming and comfortable furniture and all that you need to make a scrumptious meal. I have enjoyed decorating it in a Americana theme. We hope that you enjoy the work, thought and love that has gone into this cabin. Not everyone needs a cabin that sleeps 8-12, some just want a beautiful, clean and equipped place to relax and enjoy life! Please be our guests and let us know what you think!
Why they chose this property
We chose this property for many reasons. We like that it is on a private road so the amount of cars is minimal. We loved the two existing cabins on the property that desperately needed some TLC. John loves to bring life back to properties that have been neglected and he set right to work on this little cabin! We want to share the beauty and serenity that we see in this property with others.
What makes this property unique
This cabin is close to the town, but is fairly private unlike most cabins in Twain Harte!
