Great stay
We loved this cabin and felt the pictures didn’t do it justice. Check in and communication were easy and great. A few things to keep in mind, there is no air conditioner so the place was HOT during the summer, although there were many fans in the home. We also didn’t have paper towels or napkins. The home is pet friendly which is nice for those with pets, although if you have a dog/cat allergy you may want to skip this one. We did experience a small amount of dog hair (nonetheless the home was as clean as a pet friendly home could be). We would definitely return, possibly in winter next time.

Decent stay
Checking in was not easy. The lock box was not easy to figure out and we had to drive 20 min down the mountain to get cell service to call the manager. It took us over an hour to finally get in. But The house has a nice smell to it and every room was clean. The kitchen has good supplies to cook with and lots of fun games to play. I do wish the carpets were cleaner. They have a lot of stains on them. Also keep in mind the house has no AC, which makes it impossible to want to hang out during the summer days. But it is in a great location and got to enjoy the outdoors a lot! Overall our stay was decent.

July 4th get away
House was very nice has everything you need ! However if you are going there during summertime you should check temperatures, we had to leave early temps inside house was 88 with really no ventilation. House has no air conditioning. They did have fans but the house is situated where it gets no breeze. Understand this heat wave was unusual for this area ! Otherwise would definitely recommend! The property manager was very accommodating😊

Totally surrounded by woods in nature
The house was located deep in the woods with fabulous windows. Eating meals was like bird watching with all the comforts of home. However my son works high tech & there was absolutely no signals—we were totally cut off from the internet civilization which was sooo relaxing for a us retired folks. But, he kept having to drive down past Arnold to get a signal to check on his work….wifi was spotty at best!

Great House, Great Location!
We loved this cabin in Camp Connell, a winter wonderland sitting above a small creek in a beautiful setting. Short drive to town, skiing, Calaveras Big Trees SP, etc. It’s a good layout, with two beds and comfortable living upstairs and a pool table and third bedroom downstairs. We’ll be back.

Lovely cabin, had a great time
Great spot in Dorrington! Cabin feels like home. Kitchen is nicely stocked with essentials. Easy access, right on the street (no long driveway, just a few steps to the front door). Pool table was a lot of fun. No fenced yard for dog, but plenty of space to roam around on leash.

Beautiful Cabin
We had a wonderful stay over Christmas at this cabin. It's in a beautiful, private, heavily-wooded neighborhood. The wrap around balconies are a pleasant place to enjoy the scenery. The house had all the essentials you need for your stay. One thing to note is that the stairs are very steep. My dog slipped down them a couple times (she's old). So if you have joint problems or older pups keep that in mind. Would definitely stay here again.

Third Time's a Charm
This was our third stay at this property, and it was once again wonderful. The location of the cabin is great, easy to find off the highway, and close to a variety of Sierra activities. We hiked at Big Trees, shopped and ate in Murphys, and went up the hill to spend an afternoon at Lake Alpine. The cabin's amenities were as advertised and in good condition. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck, watching the trees and squirrels through the large windows, cooking in the kitchen, and playing pool downstairs. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Great Forest Retreat
We loved the space, decor, well-stocked kitchen, comfy mattresses. It is a beautiful location and my only recommendations are to create a host book with all info in one place and directions on how to walk into the park…also, the reason fragrance-free laundry detergent is created is because many of us can’t handle strong fragrances. And, finally, fix the tile/edging inside the front door—I left a bit of my skin behind because of it. I do recommend this lodging for the many other reasons I have noted.

Nice place, a little updating is needed. Carpets were stained, no instructions on the thermostat. Not everyone has the same one. That would have been appreciated. Tile is cracked by the front door and I almost fell, socks got caught on the corner.

Great peaceful family getaway
Lovely house, bathrooms had everything you might need, and usually forget, like q-tips and make up removing wipes. View from both decks was lovely you. Perfect combination of spacious grounds, but not to isolated. No air conditioning, but opening the windows overnight and using the ceiling fans in the living rooms and bedrooms kept us cool. Easy communication with the property caretaker.
