We stayed here for a week over Christmas through New years with our family of 8! The house was absolutely wonderful. Ken went out of his way to decorate the place for the holidays which was greatly appreciated. It was one of the first vacation rentals we stayed at the has absolutely everything we needed. The game room was a big hit as well! 10/10

My family and I (10 people) stayed here for 3 nights. Absolutely beautiful home, and was decorated for the holidays. The home was stocked with all basic necessities, and instructions were typed out around the home for appliances, lighting, etc. Owner was quick to communicate and respond with any questions or concerns. Well taken care of home, nice and cozy. made for a perfect and memorable family trip. We are looking forward to booking this location for future trips.

Very nice, relaxing cabin. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at this great getaway in the pines. It was a short trip up to the snow and Dodge ridge for some play time and awesome scenery. I would definitely recommend this property!

Beautiful property and excellent accommodations at a reasonable price. Our host Ken was informative and helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cabin isolated from neighbors yet close to town.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Wilderness Lodge. The kids were able to play in the snow without leaving the property. The game room downstairs was an added bonus. Everything about our time at the cabin was great.

If you want to get away from the usual fast city life, the this is the right place to go. There is a lot of space around the property for hiking and if you love indoor games they have quite a few indoor game setting or if you want to chill out doing nothing, there is a large deck, where you can sit enjoy the view and do nothing.

Pictures and description in the listing were right on. In fact the house was nicer than described. Beds comfortable. Home adequately furnished with nice sofas and beds. Game room was a bonus (many hours were spent down there with all members of the family from youngest to oldest. Will definitely stay there again if in the Twain Harte area.

This was our second time staying at this property and it didn't disappoint! Beautiful large home with lots of room for everyone. The amazing downstairs game room kept everyone busy and the stunning deck views were enjoyed by all. The house is very well stocked and the owners have thought of everything. The actual town is only a few minutes away and Pine Crest Lake is a short drive. We will be booking again for next summer!!

We had 6 adults (30 to 59) and 3 kids (2 to 8) and we had plenty of space. The location was great, house was nice and clean and kitchen had plenty of space for the food we brought. Couch is just as comfy as it looks in the photos. Beds are comfy and firm, the game room was a total hit for everyone! Jessie was wonderful from beginning to end and was quick to respond to any questions. Would highly recommend staying here and we hope to get to come back to this house as well!

It was perfect for our three generation family weekend! Wonderful location! Plenty of room to play and sleep. Game room was great for all ages. Toys much appreciated for littles. We all fit at table and great seating in front room too for our group. Easy and quick drive to snow. We would recommend property and would love to go again in winter or try during summer. Great communication too between property manager. Thank you sharing your home with our family!!

Clean, large, fully stocked and an ideal location within a forest but still close to the grocery store or restaurants. It's an easy drive in and out. No snow this time but Ken mentioned that the main roads are all plowed during the snow season, all the way up to the driveway. The driveway is spacious and level. Game room was a hit with the whole family and the beds are extremely comfortable. A great stay and hope to be back. Thanks, Ken and Peggie
