SUPER IMPORTANT in Twain Harte - Whole home generator included - never lose power or heat!!
The cabin is a short drive (2.5) hrs from SF with minimal traffic (unlike Tahoe). Pinecrest (30 minute drive) is open for fun snow activities skiing (Dodge Ridge) and sledding (Leland Snowplay Sledding Park).
Take a walk down to downtown Twain Harte (20 minutes) to enjoy the brewery (The Rock), and evening dining at the Eproson House restaurant.
