We go in late winter and it's amazing to be able to open the door and immediately sled down the hill then run back inside once we're too cold. My favorite thing aside from the gorgeous view is sitting in front of the 2-story window and wood stove with a good book and a hot beverage. It's a wonderfully quite neighborhood and a beautiful place to stay. The cabin has all the amenities a small family needs for any season. We'll be going back! ##### Melissa S.

Loved the proximity for a day at Pinecrest or a quick walk down to the private lake. My young boys enjoyed the private lake the most! Wonderful neighborhood for a run/walk. Perfect amount of exploring in the backyard for the kids. Downtown Twain Harte is just down the road and super cute. We will be back and thinking even for a winter trip. ##### Karie C.

Amazing view watching the snow fall from the floor-to-ceiling window. Communication with the owner was awesome, very responsive and understanding. Only concern was traversing the staircase directly outside the front door - it was completely buried in snow when it was time for us to leave, so loading the car was a challenge. But all worth it. We loved it and will go back if they have us! ##### Melissa S.

The cabin is darling and very well appointed. Gina is AMAZINGLY responsive and clear with her communication. AND when we arrived, there was a lovely bottle of wine and a custom welcome card awaiting us (photos of the cabin and Gina and Keith on/inside the card). Their card will be a definite keepsake. We chose this cabin for it's close proximity to Pinecrest Lake so we could go kayaking every day, which is just what we did. Each morning we were up and on our way, which meant we were back before it got hot and had lots of time to enjoy the house, the deck and the surrounding area. Lovely and fun get-away. Thank you Gina and Keith! ##### Jeanne C.

The location was convenient and you do have this great view of the pine forest out of those towering back windows. I have trouble with compensating my expectation on size from pictures taken with the "fish eye" lens so it was just a bit smaller than I expected. Since it was just my wife and I it was not an issue at all and admittedly that is my issue. The owners Gina and Keith were absolutely fantastic through the whole process. Very available and easy to connect with as soon as you make your booking. Best we have ever had actually. We'll be happy to book here again!! ##### Raymond F. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maile R. Apr 30, 2019 #### Cute Cabin I didn't realize that there was only one bathroom...my mistake as we had a total of 6 guests. I also didn't realize there was no dishwasher. I felt the cabin was adequately clean and it served our purpose while we visited Yosemite. I now realize that it was out of the way for a Yosemite visit. I would not recommend it for more than 4 guests. The Christmas lights on the cabin were helpful to find it! Perhaps the Master bedroom should be downstairs for easier access and privacy. The loft could be a fun place for chldren to be. ##### Maile R.

Sep 10, 2018 #### Super Cute & Comfortable - Perfect for a Girl's Getaway Weekend Keith and Gina's adorable A-frame cabin in Sugar Pine is super cute, comfortable and clean. Three gal pals spent the weekend there relaxing, hiking, cocktailing, watching the stars, watching bucks wander by, a little retail therapy in Twain Harte (at The Harte of the Kitchen) and eating super delicious home cooked food in the totally convenient kitchen. Although we had brought coffee with us, our hosts provided a Keurig and K-cups - plenty for the (3) of us for 2 mornings. They also put out a bottle of wine and a welcome note. The television was easy to use even after a few glasses of wine, Wifi worked perfectly, beds were comfortable, good pillows, too, and the rain shower head and water pressure were great after the hike around Pinecrest Lake. Sugar Pine is between Twain Harte and Pinecrest so its a very convenient location. We loved our time there so much, we're already booked for same time next year. ##### Elizabeth V.

Our family had such a fun, relaxing time. We enjoyed Pinecrest Lake and especially the private lake at Sugar Pine. The kids were able to go in the water (water wasn’t freezing). We brought an inflatable kayak which the kids were able to paddle by themselves at the private lake. You just feel very safe and private there. There were also fishes there that the kids enjoyed feeding. After a day out, it’s so refreshing to go back to Sweet Retreat where it’s comfortable and cozy. The deck is great. We made s’mores at the fire pit and saw deers. Overall, it was great! My only complaint is that the dryer does not dry well at all. After cleaning the lint and all, it took four cycles just to dry 2 beach towels. ##### Maggie N. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian K., Sandwich, MA Jul 29, 2018 #### Great stay and fantastic hosts!! Staying at the "Sweet Retreat' was a home run! We arrived from the East Coast via Yosemite on Thursday evening and the accomodations were just what we needed for our road weary famiy. A super clean, well stocked & modern retreat in the woods. The attention to detail by the owners is evident throughout the house. Recently renovated, well cared for and very comfortable. Gina & Keith were great hosts and very responsive to our questions. The bottle of wine left for us on arrival was also a nice touch. We used the "retreat" as our hub for hiking & exploring in both the Stanislaus & Yosemite. Great central location for both. Grilling in the evening on the deck was a nice option. Sitting and relaxing with the cool breeze at night was the perfect end to our day's adventures. Twain Harte was smaller than we expected, but met our needs. Only regret is we could not use the cool fire pit, due to high wildfire danger in the area. Big thanks to Gina & Keith for helping to make our West coast trip a success. ##### Brian K. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mario A.
