About this property

The Bigfoot Lodge - AC, Lake Membership, Game Room, Walk to Downtown, CLEAN Cozy


Welcome to our newly remodeled cabin, featuring an exciting addition in 2025 - an upstairs room transformed into a kid's arcade room complete with arcade games, TV, a a retro Atari console, and a pinball machine, as well as full-cabin HVAC air conditioning.

Located within easy walking distance of downtown Twain Harte and boasting summer LAKE MEMBERSHIP* to Twain Harte Lake, our updated family cabin rests on one of the area's quietest streets. Enjoy the convenience of covered parking and the charm of both front and back decks.

This classic cabin offers four bedrooms and two full baths, ensuring ample space for your family or group. Three of the bedrooms contain a single queen bed, and the game room has a twin bed. Stay connected with wireless internet and enjoy entertainment options including TV, DVD/BluRay player with a wide selection of movies. The full kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans, a toaster, and a variety of spices, while the gas grill BBQ on the deck promises delightful outdoor cooking experiences.

Relax in the cozy ambiance created by the electric fireplace, and gather in the dining room for memorable meals. Our commitment to cleanliness is evident throughout, with a queen bed in each bedroom (plus a twin bed in the kid's room) ensuring comfort for all guests.

Step onto the spacious back deck to overlook the small fenced backyard, where frequent deer sightings add to the natural allure. Notably, our cabin offers a rare sense of privacy within the proper Twain Harte area, with ample space between neighboring cabins. However, out of respect for our full-time neighbors in this tranquil neighborhood, we enforce quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am.

A variety of activities await within walking distance, from golfing and dining to bocce ball and ice cream indulgence. Venture further afield to explore attractions such as Columbia State Park, Cover's Apple Ranch, and Black Oak Casino. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Dodge Ridge for skiing adventures or Leland Snowplay for snowy fun.

Spread across two stories, our cabin features two bedrooms downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs, including the exciting kids' room equipped with arcade games, a TV, and a retro Atari system. Outdoor entertainment options include a cornhole game in the backyard and a portable bocce ball set for use at the downtown courts.

*We offer registered renters access to the Twain Harte Lake for each full day of your stay (unavailable on check-in and check-out days due to limited availabilty of lake passes).

Experience the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and entertainment at our Bigfoot Lodge – your ideal getaway in Twain Harte.

Please be advised that our vacation rental lease may be viewed upon booking, and that it will be required to sign after final payment is made. It will be sent to the primary guest's email via Docusign.

We had a great stay at The Bigfoot Lodge. The cabin was just as described. The AC was a huge relief as we travelled during a hot spell. The recliners and couch were extremely comfortable for our group of 6. The kitchen was well stocked and well laid out. The cabin had a fun and rustic feel which was perfect for what we were looking for. Out host, Scott couldn't have been more responsive and friendly. He answered all of our questions quickly and made the stay very seamless. Thanks again for a great stay. We will definitely be back.

Love the game room

Perfect house, the kitchen was well stocked, house was clean and cozy. I liked the gated yard. We had a family of deer’s grazing next to the fence. The game room was a lot of fun. The owner was great to work with and responded very quickly. I would definitely book it again.

Twain Harte Gem

Great cabin property with good access to town. Well appointed kitchen and a great game room for the kids with lots of arcade games. Plenty of board games for the whole family and a nice deck area to watch the wildlife! Cabin was rustic but you can tell the owners care about updates and working to keep it in good shape. Would gladly stay here again!

Such a great spot!

Second time staying here, and we really enjoy this place. Super clean, well put together, great amenities. The porch is wonderful for morning coffee and dinners outside, and once the lights go out, allows for some lovely star gazing. (Had a shooting start this last trek!) Definitely a great place to stay and would be happy to go back again!

Wonderful experience!

The cabin was exactly as described, the beds were super comfy, we watched deer in the mornings and evenings, and listened to so many different birds. Having lake access was great, it’s super close and my teenagers had so much fun. Scott was great - answered texts quickly and was super communicative. Required cleanup on checkout day was reasonable and easy. Overall an amazing trip and when we come back to Twain Harte we will absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful getaway

Me and my family had a wonderful getaway here. The rental is exactly as described. The new addition upstairs with the games was a favorite of our two young boys. The owner was fast in his responses to any questions we had and that was very appreciated. We had planned to explore the area the days we were there but we were so happy and relaxed, we didnt even leave the house. The boys loved the gated backyard area and my husband and i enjoyed lounging on the back patio. My kids still cant stop talking about it. We will defenitly be back!

Perfect getaway! Everything we needed was there

We didn’t want to leave! The Bigfoot Lodge is homey, comfortable, and the perfect place for our three young kids to play. We lucked out and got lots of snow, so the kids could play on the deck and in the backyard. The heater is fantastic. The kitchen has everything you’d need to whip up your favorite meals. No shortage of blankets and snow toys on the basement. I bet it is amazing in the summer as well. Everyone we encountered in town was SUPER friendly. And if you need anything else, Sonora is only a 15 minute drive. You’ll find a Walmart, movie theater, Starbucks, medical center, and much more.

The Bigfoot Lodge was the perfect winter getaway for our family!

Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with us. We absolutely lucked out and had snow for two days, which made both of my boys extremely happy and excited. We made our way to Little Sweden and had a blast sledding for a few hours (thank you for the use of your sleds). Having two young boys, I really appreciated your fenced backyard and bins full of toys for all ages. I also enjoyed the foosball table in the basement, as well as the hutch full of games and movies. As we were getting ready to leave, five deer made their way toward the back fence for our kids to admire and observe. Your place was perfect for our trip and I truly appreciate you sharing it with us. We are looking forward to visiting again in the summer if available.

Enjoyed our stay!

My husband, our 4 year old daughter and myself stayed at the Big Foot Lodge, it was the perfect size for us. It was very clean upon arrival, cozy with the heater on which was great. Scott was amazing at communicating, definitely a bonus. He worked with us on adjusting our stay since there was a little storm the day we were suppose to arrive but he understood safety was a priority. We truly appreciated that. We didn’t have to drive anywhere as we had so much fun with just the snow that was outside the cabin, in the backyard, across the way. Loved seeing all the different pictures in each room, also the Christmas decor. Our daughter was super excited to see there was toys she could play with as well, they have books and movies you can read/watch as well. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to our next family trip. Thank you Scott & Monica!

Cute , cozy , and great for kids !

We really loved our stay and this has been one of my favorite Twain Harte properties ! Character galore ! The big foot theme is so cute . Pros : + Place was well appointed and I didn’t have to use the extra tp I brought for 4 of us for 4 days + Easy /simple check in and check out ! + Game room was awesome , my kids loved it ! + The queen sized upstairs bedroom stayed nice and dark and we appreciated the wall unit a/c. + The motion lights outside in driveway were so helpful . + downstairs ac worked fantastically . + beautiful ambient lighting + great water pressure and no issues with toilets flushing etc + Twain Harte lake access + internet worked great + lots of plugs for electronic charging etc + hosts were super friendly and accommodating ! Suggestions for hosts - consider adding insulated room darkening curtains to the game room and downstairs bedrooms :) I frequently make this suggestion when I travel Especially with kids as it helps with sleep ! - wall unit a/c would be helpful for the game room bedroom as it got toasty during hot days /nights (even with fans and airing out ) but tolerable ! (Or maybe moving the game away from a/c floor unit would help circulation). Suggestions for guests : Bring your own Kleenex . It’s one thing I always forget! Thank you again and we hope to come back !

About the host

Hosted by Scott Wejmar

Host profile image
I'm a native Californian raised in the central valley not too far from Twain Harte. I still live near Modesto, but have been coming to the Twain Harte area my whole life and I enjoy all that there is to do in the area. I'm a recently retired career firefighter and have incorporated many safety features into our cabin. Safety is our #1 priority.

Why they chose this property

My family looked at many cabins before choosing this one. The moment we walked in we knew we had found the right one. What sold us was the rustic look mixed with updated amenities and real comfort. We also lucked out with fabulous neighbors, space in between neighboring cabins, and a quiet street that's close to downtown.

What makes this property unique

Twain Harte is a piece of Americana. You know those movies about good old-fashioned American summers? Twain Harte captures that feeling. At the cabin, relax on the back deck and watch the deer come through. Or eat breakfast on the front deck and wave at the families walking by.

We hope you'll love the tasteful decorations that adorn every part of the cabin. Each room has a different theme: Bigfoot, Yosemite, deer, maps, the old west, and local flavor. If you're looking for a cabin that has a rustic look with comfort, then this is the place for you.
