The Sweet "Harte" Retreat

Our peaceful and relaxing mountain getaway has a wrap around deck and fire pit (during non fire season) for entertaining and just to relax and unwind a mist a backdrop of trees. Along with a gas BBQ we do provide the propane tanks but do not maintain them you may bring your own or exchange them ( for a fee) in town for a full one. We also provide wifi streaming for indoor entertainment as well as lots of DVD's. In the bonus room we have a Wii for the kids and a playstation 2 plus an indoor basketball game.
We do have a lot of stairs throughout the cabin being its a tri level and unfortunately we do not have any handicap access available.
Parking- We have 2/3 depending on vehicle size on street parking places as well as another driveway to park ( but its steep and we don't advise you park down there unless you have all wheel drive) and not at all during the wintertime.

Cozy cabin for the family
Overall it was a great cabin, slept really comfortable. It was really clean so we didn’t have to worry about that. Only 2 things that could have made it better. One, the kitchen does need glasses for adults, it had enough plastic for children. And secondly, the game room needs games. It’s full of destroyed boxes and incomplete games. As well as the games for the PS2, a lot of boxes were empty. The basketball game was great! Kids loved that! Location is great, 35 minute drive to my Leland and really close to the he small town. Would definitely recommend.

Pleasant Stay
The house that our family stayed in was quite pleasant and homely, truly harnessing the aesthetic of a log cabin in the wilderness, although without the cold such a stay would entail. The house was well heated, and the multitude of games and the PS2 kept the younger ones entertained.

GREAT CABIN, GREAT VIEWS AND GREAT LOCATION
Our family of 12 had an amazing time. The place is nice and quiet. The views of the backyard big trees and the deck are just beautiful. The place had everything you need to have a good time. It's very close to a casino, Pinecrest Lake, River access to day use areas and close to Calaveras Big Trees. We would love to stay there again in the future. The Wi-Fi was strong for all kids to have access to their devices, the Amazon Prime access allowed for family movie nights. The fire pit in the backyard was nice to have drinks and enjoy the views. Thank you, great memories added to our bucket list.

Great Family House
We came for a weekend to do some skiing at Dodge Ridge. We didn't get a chance to fully explore the area. It's quite nice. There's a stream or river flowing below the property. The property is very close to Twain Harte so getting take away was really easy. We would stay here again.

Sweet Stay at Sweet Harte Cabin
Cute and cozy updated cabin in a quiet secluded area. Great deck for morning coffee or evening gatherings under a beautiful canopy of oaks, pines and cedars. View of a pond at the bottom of the property where deer drink and ducks swim. We really enjoyed our stay.

This was a beautiful cabin nestled in the trees, Heather replies fast and is kind. Cabin is fully equipped just bring food and beverages it was very clean and well kept and has a warm feeling you do get a sense of peace sitting on the deck. The kids loved it too for them not being outside types they did not complain once or say they where bored, the gaming stuff in the basement was heaven sent when we got rained out. Close to the snowy areas and small towns just a friendly place I personally cannot wait to be back! Thank you for the experience :)

Family Snow Trip!
Our stay was perfect! Waking up to snow outside and then a short drive to even more snow for us to play in was exactly what we were looking for. The home had plenty of room for all of us and even a game room that kept the kids entertained.

Heather’s cabin was absolutely wonderful! We walked in and we were greeted with welcome sign and a cute Christmas tree. Loved all the space but it also felt extremely cozy. Our kids’s favorite part? The deer that greeted us every morning! An awesome memory they’ll never forget. We would definitely stay here again!

Adorable and Extremely Clean
We booked this cabin for a girls trip and it was the best time. Smelled amazing when you walked in the door, very clean and not a single cob web in the vaulted ceilings. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the entire cabin. Heather was great to work with and got back to us SO quickly when we had questions. Great property and only one neighbor close by, but not in sight when you're in the cabin. It is fully stocked, we brought food and that was it, everything we needed was there. Highly recommend this beautiful place!
