Twain Harte Chalet Walk everywhere from this chalet, centrally located, privacy.

The Chalet is spotless and beautifully appointed, with cozy fine linens and a well appointed gourmet kitchen; complete with fresh dried spices, vinegars and cooking oils. The kitchen and great room are open and conducive to gathering. The gas wood stove adds warmth and ambience. Cathedral ceilings and windows everywhere create a tree house feeling. Our large second story deck overlooks the golf course, with a very private setting for outdoor dining. The griddle is awesome for dinners and breakfasts!

Also, in the Village is Mini Golf, a skate park, a fun all-ages kids playground, and the Twain Harte Golf Course, all walking distance from the Chalet. The Golf Course offers both traditional golf and and 18 hole Disc Golf course! The Club House has a full bar and yummy offerings, snacks or a full meal.

A beautiful day trip to Calaveras County ! (remember the Jumping Frog?)
