Charming Cabin in the Mountains
This Cabin was perfect for my family's weekend ski trip to Dodge Ridge. My daughter loved the bunkbed and the whole house was cozy. The Cabin had a smart TV and the kids were able to stream their favorite shows. The location was very great, Twain Hart has a cute little downtown area a few minutes from the cabin where I was able to get anything I needed. The check-in/out process was seamless and I had no issues with my stay.

Weekend stay
It was fine for four guys. Power went out midnight first night,came back on in the morning Couldn't get TV to work. We just rotated from Ed's to The Epp to the Pro Shop to cover the down time. We had a good time. Forgot the potato salad and salsa and beets in frig. They are enclosed and in frig on the door. Would stay again, but the neat freak wife's would not enjoy, hence four guys

End of Summer
This was a great place to gather with family, have quality time together, and laugh. This is a cabin in the mountains with plenty of nature and peacefulness. The house was fully stocked, and the host responded to calls/texts. Just bring your loved ones, clothes, and food. Downtown Twain Harte is a short walk and, has shops, a creamery, dining, coffee houses, etc. We hope to return to Dandelion's Lair, and highly recommed it.

Perfect cabin near the lake
We had a great stay in Dandelion's Lair. It was our families first stay in Twain Harte and it was in the perfect location. A very short drive to both restaurants and ice cream in downtown Twain Harte and the Twain Harte lake. Dandelion's Lair is a classic cabin getaway with everything you need to get away and feel like you are in the mountains. It might not be the most updated or modern house, but it was clean with good supplies and lots of board games for the kids- just what we were looking for. Plus we saw deer multiple times walking through the backyard!

Twain Harte gem
It’s very comfortable and cozy. Mike was very responsive during our stay. Access to the lake was frosting on the cake. Driveway was a challenge but easy once we learned the trick. Would love to return.

Unfit for a rental
After 10 minutes of our arrival we left and never went back. Walking up to the house it was covered in cob webs and the deck hasn’t been swept since last fall at least. The inside of the house was even worse. There were cob webs on Christmas tree and on the wreath and most corners of the house. The carpet was u raveling and filthy. None of the five beds were made. Just had folded sheets on top. Old food was in fridge and faucet was not attached to sink. I literally could pick it off the sink. And the sponge was very old and used. In the manual it says to just put sponge in dishwasher when you leave so I don’t know how many guests have used it. Completely unsanitary. It was the worst rental I have ever been in and I would like my $600 refunded.
