Greetings to our Past & Future Guests: 
The leaves are falling, the leaves are falling!
The air smells crisp with the hint of a winter chill and pumpkins will soon appear on porches all across Twain Harte. It must be Fall!
We had a fabulous summer despite the grim prospects for the economy and we want to thank you, our summer guests for making it so very special. It is truly wonderful to see our returning guests each year and to get caught up on the special events in your lives. And we love meeting and adding new guests to our extended family as well. We hope you all enjoyed your summer as much as we did.
We have a full Fall calendar this year, so there really is no excuse not to plan a trip up to Twain Harte. Speaking of Fall.... When you hear the word Oktoberfest, it's almost certain that one thing comes to mind..... Bavarian Beer! The "Twain Harte Oktoberfest" will be held Oct. 4th at Eproson Park and of course there will be plenty of beer along with live music, arts and crafts for all. We hope to see you there!
We would love to help you find your perfect cabin for a Fall getaway or vacation. Tuolumne County has so much to offer this season, such as the arts, live theatre, museums, festivals and entertainment. And for the sports enthusiasts we have great hiking, biking, fishing and the list goes on. And as always, don't forget about our 25% Off-Season Discount Rates starting September 12th through November 14th, and then again December 1st through December 12th. If you book or inquire on-line, these discount rates will already be applied to each cabin.
Always know that if we can be of service to you, we're just an email or phone call away! Have a safe and cozy Fall!
Best Wishes ,
John & Margie Lang
