The Sugar Shack Twain Harte
Bakery
👍👍 Super small location but super worth it! During tourist season it's standing room only to order, but be patient with the staff as they are already catching a hard time from the non-locals. The young ladies at the counter are always so cheerful and helpful no matter what, and the food is hot, DELICIO...

Pinecrest Lake
Lake
👍👍 Get in early because it gets busy! Didn't do the lake thing but it looked like a lot of fun. It was packed and many boats on the water. We hiked to Cleo's bath. It was round trip 12.5 miles and took roughly 5.5 hours. It was very difficult once you got within .75 miles to Cleo's bath. Be prepared an...

Donnell Vista
Vista point
👍👍 This is well worth a stop. Most vista points are a viewpoint and sign. This is a full experience with 1/4 mile paved and fully accessible scenic loop with circular overlook to Donnell Reservoir and Dam. Educational signs along the path and plenty of rocks to kids or pets to scramble on. Pet friendl...

Pinecrest Lake Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 Nice trail. If you're looking for seclusion, look elsewhere. This place is busy on the weekday, but free day use till 10pm is a plus. Start to the right and hit chloes baths.

Rainbow Pool
Swimming basin
👍 This was a great spot to check out. We would have loved to know that there was a $10 (cash only) amount due for parking beforehand. There are bathrooms available, which was nice. We got there pretty early on a Saturday morning, and glad we did as it filled up pretty quickly around 11am. We took our...

Andy's Mountain Grill
Hamburger restaurant
😐 This place used to be hands down the best burger place in town. But since the new ownership they cheap out on everything. They don't give you garlic ketchup anymore, which was one of the defining things about the place. When I ordered a French dip, they also didn't give any asu sauce. Then when I as...

Sportsman Coffee Shop
Cafe
👍 Well service was good but since Covid I don't think anyone was ready for a full on crowd for the car show right outside of the door. Twain Harte is a great place to visit and enjoy. We also ended up with a cinnamon BUN omg , bomb 💣. I had a omelet qas very good 👍.
