Wonderful cozy house and responsive host!

Very nice house in a perfect location. We stayed there for the second time because we liked it. This time we explored more of the surrounding area and found a beautiful lake surrounded by forest just a 10 minute walk from the house.Perfect house for people who like privacy and enough bedrooms for everyone to relax. Comfortable beds. The kitchen is fully equipped.

Stay in Snowy Big Trees

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. It was very well equipped and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, rooms nicely furnished and cozy. Great living room decor with wood-burning stove, that warmed the downstairs. We stayed only in downstairs, as upstairs bedrooms had some problems. Fortunately we didn’t need extra bedroom space. The owner was responsive when I called her and said she would have the house cleaner address the issues upstairs. We hope to return in near future.

We had a wonderland vacation at this cabin, with lots of snow! Donna was kind to call before we headed out, to chat about the conditions and driving in snow. There was a generator to tie us over during power outage, and lots of wood to burn. Highly recommend this home and the host!

This was a great property for lots of people- we stayed with my son, my husband, my parents and family friends- and we still didnt use 2 of the bedrooms! there was plenty of room for hanging out and being alone. We drove up Hwy 4 to visit the snow parks and took walks around the neighborhood

Cozy and great value

Our family loved staying here to celebrate Christmas, enjoy the snow, and spend some quality time together after missing so much during the pandemic. We were eight adults and four little kids but we never felt crowded in this spacious mountain home. The very well stocked kitchen allowed us to prepare delicious family meals and bake up some fun memories. The outdoor area was a blast - we built a few sled runs, snow friends and had some snowball fights. Hope to come back and make this a family tradition each winter. An amazing value!

Great stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods!

Our group of 8 had a wonderful time at this beautiful cabin in the woods over MLK weekend, 2022. The cabin is spacious and easily accommodated our party of 8. There are legitimately 6 bedrooms, all with comfortable beds, and the living room could comfortably seat 10+ in sofas and recliners. The wood burning stove is and amber sconces make the living room very cozy and warm. The washer and dryer work well and although we didn't end up using the dishwasher, it's nice that there is one! Comms with the owner were easy - they are very responsive and quickly answered the few questions that we had. Bear Valley is less than 30 min away for skiing/sledding. Would definitely stay here again!

Heaven in the mountains

We really enjoyed our stay. There was a hiccup with the cleaning crew being there before us, but the host was incredible with communication. This is a beautiful cabin to stay. Very homey and comfy. There is a very bad echo when you sit outside, so neighbors can really hear everything. Overall a 5* rating for me. The beds were comfy, the family room was the perfect spot for our amazing game of pictionary! Lots of room. There were 8 of us, and there were comfy places for everyone to relax. The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. Star gazing was so easy in the small clearing in the front yard. The pond was a short walk down the hill and is absolutely breathtaking.

Dorrington Cabin Reivew

For those considering renting this cabin, you can't go wrong. We stayed here with family and friends in June, 2021. The hosts have supplied a picnic table out on the patio and we thoroughly enjoyed having breakfasts and dinners there laughing and having a great time. If you rent in colder weather, there is a nice living room and a kitchen table for 5. Wifi was adequate with a good selection of movie cable channels if you want to watch a relaxing evening movie. The hosts will respond to you within a reasonable amount of time in case there are any problems. There is a well stocked kitchen with coffee maker, pots, pans, mugs, forks, spoons, plates, nice size refrigerator and good working heater for the winter if you go then. etc. We just used the heater very briefly at one time. For those wanting to BBQ, there is a nice BBQ right on the deck which we used a couple times ... really nice to have, The hosts just ask that you bring your own towels, sheets, and pillow cases and soap.. Other than that, I believe everything was there. There is a small lake/pond within walking distance which was really great to walk around and enjoy the dragon flies and nature. Not far from shore there was a large wooden platform which I imagine people swim to in the summer. There was also a nice beach area with picnic tables. I don't think street parking is allowed, so having the pond within walking distance is convenient in the summer. The cabin has a fair amount of privacy, plenty of parking and it seemed that most of the other nearby cabins were not occupied full time. There is a tub bathroom upstairs and a shower bathroom downstairs. We stayed 3 nights which was just perfect for us. There are a lot of "touristy" type things to do all within a 30 minute drive. If you go, check out the Sourgrass parking, only a 10 minute drive north. It's right along the beautiful Stanislaus river. really nice. Also the cabin is a little higher in elevation which provides for a little cooler weather during the summer. That was nice. All in all, we really had a great time making some great memories and talked about the trip a lot after coming back reliving some fun (and funny) moments. What's life without those kinds of things anyway...as life is way too short to begin with. Well, I guess that's a wrap for me. Hope this review will be helpful for anyone thinking of renting.

Cozy cabin!

The cabin is cozy & comfortable. Lots of beds, plenty of couches & well stocked kitchen. Only one shower. The only thing I wish had been more clearly described in the listing is snow expectations. There is ~20-30ft from the cabin to the driveway that is not cleared when it snows. Luckily my family arrived during daylight & we were able to shovel the walk but you should factor this into any winter time cabin plans. Overall great location & comfortable cozy cabin!

Would be great...if the hosts disclose the flaws

We booked this property for a long weekend with four adults and two two-year-olds. The location is great, and it has plenty of space for a big group. Communication was quick and check-in was easy. This is clearly a well-loved family property that is occasionally rented to outsiders. It's not a luxury getaway spot (nor is it marketed as such). So far so good. Here's the problem: there were multiple maintenance issues -- severe enough to have caused us to book a different property had we known that they existed. When we reported these to the owners, they acted as though they were no big deal, even though the issues weren't communicated in advance and they weren't resolved during our stay. For example, the house only has one bathtub, which had a big "DO NOT USE" sign in it. We spent the first three days of our trip awkwardly showering our two-year-olds in the phone-booth-sized shower. The owner said that the tub would not be fixed for months, and eventually told us to disregard the sign and to use the bathtub anyway, but not to fill it too full. When I asked for a discount to accommodate how difficult it had been for us to wash our kids in the tiny shower, the owner offered a small refund, then didn't deliver on it. When I asked her about it later, she sent me HALF of the amount she had offered, claiming that since we eventually were able to bathe our kid in the bathtub on the last day, she wasn't going to send the full amount. Or, take the main bedroom upstairs, whose heater didn't work. We tried for 45 minutes to get the pilot light to stay lit, but it wouldn't stay on. When we reported this to the owner, she said "That one doesn’t work." I mean, yeah, we figured that out, but it would have been nice to know before we spent our limited vacation time on troubleshooting home maintenance. Again, I get that this is a family property, and I wouldn't expect everything to be perfect. But I do expect to be notified of significant maintenance problems! I got the distinct feeling that the owner was irritated that I was complaining at all. Ultimately, we enjoyed our trip and appreciated the place, but would have preferred more accurate information up-front to manage our expectations, or potentially book elsewhere with working heaters and functional bathrooms for our two families with small children.
