My home will comfortably sleep six guests, if you use the futon in the living room. Note: The two Queen beds have new mattress covers and bedspreads that are frequently laundered. We provide sheets, blankets and pillows and they will be clean and the beds will be made with clean sheets when you arrive. I do not provide sheets, pillows or blankets for the futon, so please bring your own or sleeping bags. We also provide each guest a bath towel, hand towels and wash cloths.

- "We come to Twain Harte with family every summer (my boyfriends family has been coming for 50+ years) and rent multiple cabins with lake access. Robert’s cabin was perfect for the 6 of us, as we had 2 couples and 1 pair of friends who stayed in the loft. It was only a couple of minutes walk to downtown, which was great for our evening meetup at mini golf. Robert was extremely communicative and helpful from check-in to check-out. The coffee maker didn’t work and he quickly had someone drop off a new one on the porch. The kitchen was well stocked, and the porch had lots of space and furniture for us to hang out. One thing to note is that the cabin does not come stocked with bath linens (which may have been listed but we did not notice that beforehand) which was fine because we all had extra beach towels. We had a wonderful time, and will definitely keep it in the rotation for future trips!"

This vacation home features accommodations with a balcony and free Wifi.

A TOUR THROUGH THE NORSE HUS:

The house is entered from the top (second) story front deck into a large rustic living room with open beam ceilings. With three couches, easy chairs, and ample additional space, the living room is an ideal space for large groups and parties. The living room has a two sliding glass doors that open onto the main outdoor deck. One of two cable-connected TV and DVD players in the house are in this room. This TV is a 55-inch Smart (internet) TV. The corner bookcase has a large assortment of the most popular family board games.

Directly adjacent to the living room is a large spacious kitchen that has all major and minor appliances and plenty of room for multiple cooks. Adjoining the kitchen and large living room is a smaller intimate den with a fireplace, comfortable seats and another couch. This (den) room has sliding glass doors that open out onto the main side deck and a second one that opens to the rear deck where the barbeque sits.

The living room sliding glass doors open onto an enormous deck that wraps from the front to the side and finally the back. The side deck is 16 feet by 32 feet and has and expandable table and chairs for eight to twelve plus a large folded picnic table and stacked chairs that can be added to accommodate a large number of people. The main deck also has a cozy grouping of couches and chairs. There are two barbecues one gas and one charcoal (charcoal BBQ is under deck). The entire deck is graced with mood setting Edison-type bistro string lights and outdoor speakers.

With the three inter-connecting rooms (Living-Kitchen-Den) and multiple deck access points, the upstairs can accommodate a substantial number of people without feeling crowded, even in winter without use of the deck.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room with mid-century dining set and buffet table that can seat up to ten people with the internal butterfly leaf. There is also a drop-leaf folding table in the dining room and folding chairs in the master closet that can be used to expand the dining room seating. Adjacent to the dining room is the upstairs bathroom with a large comfortable shower.

The final living space upstairs is the master bedroom. The "Bear's Lair" is a spacious Master that has a king bed. There is also one Graco porta-crib in the closet. The master has two large windows with views into the forest, and a small private deck. Lastly there is a comfortable master bath with two sinks, vanity and tub.

From the living room a stair case descends to the lower floor, opening up to a large family room equipped with two more couches, a foosball table, a pellet stove, and second cable-connected TV (this TV is not a smart TV, but has a comcast cable box that makes the TV function as a smart TV). Three bedrooms and a bath with large shower all open into the family room. The lower floor is often a great place for kids to have their own space away from the adults upstairs, but not completely separated.

At the base of the stairs is bathroom number three with a large shower, and bedroom number two, which we call 'The Troll Room.' This room has a queen sized bed plus a single bed, and it is decorated with troll artwork pine cones and rustic Nordic ski pictures.

The fourth and final bedroom downstairs is called 'The Wine Cave.' This room is a cozy and charming little oasis away from general activity of the house. It has a double bed and is decorated in a wine country theme.

There are two TV's with DVD's in the house and WiFi internet. Both TV's are connected to (comcast) cable, and there is an endless array of movies and other DVD's for all ages. The upstairs TV is a smart TV connected directly to cable . You can log onto your own Netflix account or connect your laptop with the provided HDMI cable. The second standard TV is downstairs in the family room, connected to the internet through WiFi, and has smart TV capability.

A TOUR OF THE PROPERTY:

The property around the Norse Hus is densely forested and distinctly private. The trees are nicely mixed with Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, Red Cedar, Black Oak, Canyon Oak, all with a beautiful understory of over 20 native Dogwood trees.

While the house is in a neighborhood, it is nicely separated from adjacent cabins. A low flow shallow brook meanders along the north property line. It runs year round except on rare occasions, typically around September or October. A tire swing is nearby, and together with the brook, children will be occupied for hours.

At the rear of the property is a full sized horseshoe pit. You will find horseshoes hanging on the outside wall by the back garage pass door. And finally around to the south side of the house is a flexible flat open area.

Including the driveway, and street frontage there is room for eight cars at the Norse Hus.

The house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is amazing and well stocked! Everything is labeled so it's easy to put things back where they belong. The expandable table in the dining room allowed all of us (12) people to sit down at the same time which was very nice! We drove up 20-30 minutes to enjoy some snow play and had an amazing time!

- "Love the house. We’d definitely come back again!" - "We had a wonderful stay! My family and I spent 2 nights here and snowboarded at Dodge. It was close to the resort. There were 6 adults and plenty of room. The cabin had everything we needed. We did bring our own linens and towels. Hospitality of host was amazing, we were greeted with a gift. Would stay here again!" - "We appreciated this little cabin which is tucked away "a little" from the road, at just the right place to enjoy the turkeys and deer make their daily trek up and down the hill. Thanks for a warm welcome and a house that accommodated us so nicely."
