About this property

The Bigfoot Lodge - AC, Lake Membership, Game Room, Walk to Downtown, CLEAN Cozy


Welcome to our newly remodeled cabin, featuring an exciting addition in 2024 - an upstairs room transformed into a kid's arcade room complete with arcade games, TV, a a retro Atari console, and a pinball machine, as well as full-cabin HVAC air conditioning (newly installed June 2024).

Located within easy walking distance of downtown Twain Harte and boasting LAKE MEMBERSHIP to Twain Harte Lake, our updated family cabin rests on one of the area's quietest streets. Enjoy the convenience of covered parking and the charm of both front and back decks.

This classic cabin offers four bedrooms and two full baths, ensuring ample space for your family or group. Stay connected with wireless internet and enjoy entertainment options including TV, DVD/BluRay player with a wide selection of movies. The full kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans, a toaster, and a variety of spices, while the gas grill BBQ on the deck promises delightful outdoor cooking experiences.

Relax in the cozy ambiance created by the electric fireplace, and gather in the dining room for memorable meals. Our commitment to cleanliness is evident throughout, with a queen bed in each bedroom (plus a twin bed in the kid's room) ensuring comfort for all guests.

Step onto the spacious back deck to overlook the small fenced backyard, where frequent deer sightings add to the natural allure. Notably, our cabin offers a rare sense of privacy within the proper Twain Harte area, with ample space between neighboring cabins. However, out of respect for our full-time neighbors in this tranquil neighborhood, we enforce quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am.

A variety of activities await within walking distance, from golfing and dining to bocce ball and ice cream indulgence. Venture further afield to explore attractions such as Columbia State Park, Cover's Apple Ranch, and Black Oak Casino. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Dodge Ridge for skiing adventures or Leland Snowplay for snowy fun.

Spread across two stories, our cabin features two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs, including the exciting kids' room equipped with arcade games, a TV, and a retro Atari system. Outdoor entertainment options include a cornhole game in the backyard and a portable bocce ball set for use at the downtown courts.

Experience the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and entertainment at our Bigfoot Lodge – your ideal getaway in Twain Harte.

Please be advised that our vacation rental lease may be viewed upon booking and that it will be required to sign after final payment is made. It will be sent to the primary guest's email via Docusign.

Twain Harte Gem
Great cabin property with good access to town. Well appointed kitchen and a great game room for the kids with lots of arcade games. Plenty of board games for the whole family and a nice deck area to watch the wildlife! Cabin was rustic but you can tell the owners care about updates and working to keep it in good shape. Would gladly stay here again!

Cute , cozy , and great for kids !
We really loved our stay and this has been one of my favorite Twain Harte properties ! Character galore ! The big foot theme is so cute . Pros : + Place was well appointed and I didn’t have to use the extra tp I brought for 4 of us for 4 days + Easy /simple check in and check out ! + Game room was awesome , my kids loved it ! + The queen sized upstairs bedroom stayed nice and dark and we appreciated the wall unit a/c. + The motion lights outside in driveway were so helpful . + downstairs ac worked fantastically . + beautiful ambient lighting + great water pressure and no issues with toilets flushing etc + Twain Harte lake access + internet worked great + lots of plugs for electronic charging etc + hosts were super friendly and accommodating ! Suggestions for hosts - consider adding insulated room darkening curtains to the game room and downstairs bedrooms :) I frequently make this suggestion when I travel Especially with kids as it helps with sleep ! - wall unit a/c would be helpful for the game room bedroom as it got toasty during hot days /nights (even with fans and airing out ) but tolerable ! (Or maybe moving the game away from a/c floor unit would help circulation). Suggestions for guests : Bring your own Kleenex . It’s one thing I always forget! Thank you again and we hope to come back !

Wonderful experience!
The cabin was exactly as described, the beds were super comfy, we watched deer in the mornings and evenings, and listened to so many different birds. Having lake access was great, it’s super close and my teenagers had so much fun. Scott was great - answered texts quickly and was super communicative. Required cleanup on checkout day was reasonable and easy. Overall an amazing trip and when we come back to Twain Harte we will absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful getaway
Me and my family had a wonderful getaway here. The rental is exactly as described. The new addition upstairs with the games was a favorite of our two young boys. The owner was fast in his responses to any questions we had and that was very appreciated. We had planned to explore the area the days we were there but we were so happy and relaxed, we didnt even leave the house. The boys loved the gated backyard area and my husband and i enjoyed lounging on the back patio. My kids still cant stop talking about it. We will defenitly be back!

Second time staying here, and we really enjoy this place. Super clean, well put together, great amenities. The porch is wonderful for morning coffee and dinners outside, and once the lights go out, allows for some lovely star gazing. (Had a shooting start this last trek!) Definitely a great place to stay and would be happy to go back again!

Perfect getaway! Everything we needed was there
We didn’t want to leave! The Bigfoot Lodge is homey, comfortable, and the perfect place for our three young kids to play. We lucked out and got lots of snow, so the kids could play on the deck and in the backyard. The heater is fantastic. The kitchen has everything you’d need to whip up your favorite meals. No shortage of blankets and snow toys on the basement. I bet it is amazing in the summer as well. Everyone we encountered in town was SUPER friendly. And if you need anything else, Sonora is only a 15 minute drive. You’ll find a Walmart, movie theater, Starbucks, medical center, and much more.

Enjoyed our stay!
My husband, our 4 year old daughter and myself stayed at the Big Foot Lodge, it was the perfect size for us. It was very clean upon arrival, cozy with the heater on which was great. Scott was amazing at communicating, definitely a bonus. He worked with us on adjusting our stay since there was a little storm the day we were suppose to arrive but he understood safety was a priority. We truly appreciated that. We didn’t have to drive anywhere as we had so much fun with just the snow that was outside the cabin, in the backyard, across the way. Loved seeing all the different pictures in each room, also the Christmas decor. Our daughter was super excited to see there was toys she could play with as well, they have books and movies you can read/watch as well. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to our next family trip. Thank you Scott & Monica!

Amazing kid friendly stay!
We loved our stay at Scott’s Bigfoot lodge cabin. We had our two sons, age 2.5yo and 2mo and it was such a great time. The property is really cool and has a bunch of nice touches to welcome our kids including games, toys, a foosball table, a swing, and a nice fenced in yard. Location was great and we enjoyed the surrounding attractions. Communication with Scott was easy and he helped with all our questions. The cabin itself has a great touch with cool decorations that make you feel like you’re tucked away in the woods but it was also extremely well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Our boys loved the property and we had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy Twain Harte and the surrounding area but especially for families with young kids. You could tell the property was set up to cater to families and it was a really great vacation for us. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!

The land that time forgot!
What a magical weekend. The cabin was everything we hoped it would be. Clean, comfortable and quaint. It was 100+ degrees when we stayed but the multiple ceiling fans and air conditioning units worked wonderfully and kept us nice and cool. Close to downtown, we enjoyed mini golf, the lake, and even took in a car show! Twain Harte is idyllic for anyone wanting to escape and go back in time. The neighborhood was very quite and safe. Deer came into the yard every morning which our kiddos loved. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our kids also loved exploring the basement and playing foosball! Scott was a great host and made the process very smooth.

Great choice for a short holiday!
Very comfortable and cozy for our family group of four. The wall decorations provided interesting glimpses into some of the nearby attractions. Very comfortable living room furniture for viewing our Netflix account when we were winding down for the evening. The room air conditioners did a very good job in the hot August weather. This is an older property and shows some signs of it's age, but that was undoubtedly part of it's charm. We had never heard of Twain Harte before, but quickly grew fond of this very small, unique town. The highlight for us was the ability to access the private Twain Harte Lake on a hot summer day and delight in the enjoyment of a 10 year old.

Lovely cabin!
We love Twain Harte and this is one of the most well-appointed properties that we've stayed at! Excellent amenities, comfortable beds (and pillows!), and the back yard/deck was perfect for the hot weather. The ceiling fans and black-out blinds worked well enough to keep it cool inside such that we didn't need to run the A/C despite the 95+ degrees. Scott was very responsive to my many questions and an excellent host. We hope to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Scott Wejmar

Host profile image
I'm a native Californian raised in the central valley not too far from Twain Harte. I still live near Modesto, but have been coming to the Twain Harte area my whole life and I enjoy all that there is to do in the area. I'm a recently retired career firefighter and have incorporated many safety features into our cabin. Safety is our #1 priority.

Why they chose this property

My family looked at many cabins before choosing this one. The moment we walked in we knew we had found the right one. What sold us was the rustic look mixed with updated amenities and real comfort. We also lucked out with fabulous neighbors, space in between neighboring cabins, and a quiet street that's close to downtown.

What makes this property unique

Twain Harte is a piece of Americana. You know those movies about good old-fashioned American summers? Twain Harte captures that feeling. At the cabin, relax on the back deck and watch the deer come through. Or eat breakfast on the front deck and wave at the families walking by.

We hope you'll love the tasteful decorations that adorn every part of the cabin. Each room has a different theme: Bigfoot, Yosemite, deer, maps, the old west, and local flavor. If you're looking for a cabin that has a rustic look with comfort, then this is the place for you.
