This cabin is perfect for a couple or small family. The host communicated with me several times prior to my stay and instructions were very clear and concise. The cabin was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. There’s a nice deck and patio set which we enjoyed in the afternoon.It’s also conveniently close to Arnold, Big Trees and the lakes. I’m pleased to have found this gem of a cabin.

Comfortable cabin

Our stay was so much fun. Cabin is very well equipped with kitchen having everything we needed. Enjoy making fires in the fire pit each evening and exploring the area during the day. Ryan responded to questions in very timely manner and was extremely kind. We will definitely be back!

Great weather and all the conveniences we needed

Smart TVs, fully stocked kitchen, access to the pool, and proximity to great lakes made for a great vacation. We luckily had great weather and did not require AC and the fans were sufficient.

Relaxing get away

The place is in a nice, quiet location not far from Big Trees State Park. The cabin had everything we needed and was warm and cozy. The kids loved making s’mores at the fire pit and playing with the fun games that are provided. We took the loft room and it was oh-so-comfortable! I’d definitely book again.

Fabulous Mountain Retreat!

Camp Connell and the area where this cabin is was just what I was looking for. It was quiet and peaceful and definitely felt so comfortable because I was staying among the trees. The hosts were amazing. They handled everything seamlessly. Definitely a 5 star experience!

The cabin was very comfortable and cozy, with thoughtful and welcoming decor. We cooked quite a bit and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were toys for the kids to play with (ages 6 & 8), which they loved, and plenty of games. The rooms were really comfortable. My kids said they wanted to live there permanently! One thing to be aware of is that you need to pack out your garbage (unless you pay a small fee to the cleaning service), but the waste center was right on our way out and very easy to navigate.

NYE Vacay

This was the perfect spot for our family to get together for New Year’s Eve!! We had an infant and a fur-baby and the cabin was well stocked with things for both children! The host was super nice, very accommodating, and transparent. We are already planning our next trip up to this beautiful and spacious cabin!

This was a nostalgia filled weekend for me. Cedar loft was a wonderful nesting spot in the big trees. Nothing quite matches the song of the big trees.

Perfect

This place was perfect. It had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing few nights with our dogs in the forest. They loved it there immediately. The place is really clean….like really clean. That made it easy to relax. Stored blankets in a closet, smelled amazingly fresh. We hope we will be able to visit again. THANK YOU

Peaceful cabin among the trees

We had a great weekend staying here. We spent one day kayaking and swimming at the nearby Utica/ Union Reservoir and explored the Big Trees State park. There is also pretty easy access to the North fork of the Stanislaus River. There are some nice swimming ares, but the river is moving fast right now from the snow melt. Nevertheless, our pups loved it. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The deck was great for lounging and our pups loved it as well. It's located in a very peaceful neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice, very clean and well appointed cabin near Calavares Big Trees and several excellent lakes. Has what you need, location, coffee and dog friendly. Owners very responsive, directions super clear. Upstairs bedroom can warm up a lot. Be great if there was a ceiling fan up there are MANY other types of fans available. Nice touches: lotsa phone chargers, selection of games, coffee station with grinder and beans, sharp knives and kid says thanks for the Oreos and buttered popcorn. 10/10 would stay again.

Perfect Cabin in a Beautiful Setting

My family (2 adults, 3 kids age 17, 13, and 10 and 2 dogs) had the best time at The Cedar Loft. I wanted a place where we could stay put to enjoy the snow and this was perfect! The kids loved playing with the provided sleds and snowboards on the little hills around the house, and I loved not having to haul extra equipment or travel anywhere else for snow play. The cabin was easy to get to, and so comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. Next time we come, I’ll be sure not to overpack because coffee, tea, spices, and more were provided. The hosts were very quick to respond to questions before and during our stay. We will definitely book again!
