Spacious Family Mountain Retreat w/ Pool Near Pinecrest Lake & Dodge Ridge

Welcome to Château du Ray, a spacious mountain retreat nestled among the pines in the beautiful town of Twain Harte. What we love most about this home is the peaceful setting — surrounded by tall trees, fresh mountain air, and space to truly relax and unwind with family and friends.

One of the standout features of the property is the private walk-in style pool, perfect for enjoying warm summer days. The outdoor space also includes a large deck with comfortable seating and dining areas, creating the perfect place to gather, share meals, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Sierra Nevada.

The main house comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests and features four bedrooms, including two primary suites (one with a cozy fireplace), along with multiple living spaces designed for connection and comfort. It’s a home where everyone can spread out while still feeling together.

For even larger groups, a separate guest house is available as an add-on and can accommodate up to 4 additional guests, making this property a unique option for large family gatherings or group trips.

Guests love the location just as much as the home. You’re a short drive from Pinecrest Lake for swimming, paddle boarding, and relaxing by the water, and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort for winter adventures. The charming town of Twain Harte offers local restaurants, shops, and a welcoming small-town feel.

What truly makes Château du Ray stand out is the combination of space, privacy, and flexibility. With room for large groups, a private pool, and the option to add the guest house, it’s a rare find in the Twain Harte area.

Whether you're planning a summer getaway, a winter ski trip, or a peaceful mountain escape, this home offers the perfect setting to make lasting memories.

Beautiful property, great location

Lindsey was so easy to contact, fast to respond. House (bedrooms, bathrooms) worked perfectly for the 6 of us, fun and amazing pool. Location was great - quiet, peaceful, yet just minutes from the center of Twain Harte. Didn't need a thing except groceries. We will definitely re-book again.

Lindsay's family's home was fabulous!!! Very spacious, luxurious and clean. My friends and family and I loved the double ovens for cooking, the extra counters for work space. We loved the extra blankets and lap blankets for game night in the living room.The extra pool towels and the size of the pool! I Feel like the pool in the pictures does not give justice to the size and the depth of it. Its a picture perfect back drop from coffee on the porch, to pix of our friends floating. The cute squirrels, the trees, its an absolute hidden gem. We cannot wait to come back and will also get the extra guest house on property too. Lindsay was great with communication and helped with questions we had. 10 outa 10 recommend! Thx for sharing this magnificent home
