Dorrington has been one of our favorite vacations spots for a number of years, and I can't believe it took us so long to find the Sweet Retreat. The house itself is beautiful, but the property is breathtaking, surrounded by 150 ft. pine trees. Sitting on any of the house's wraparound decks is like sitting in the middle of the forest, and there are beautiful views from inside the home as well. The kitchen is stocked with whatever you might need in the way of spices, oils, condiments, and even has a pantry filled with yummy snacks! It was hard to decide between spending our evenings in the movie theater ( a million movies to choose from, and the recliners are SO comfy!) or the game room, so ample time was spent in each. Calaveras Big Trees State Park is right up the road and not to be missed for its giant sequoias. Thank you, David, for your amazing property and hospitality. You'll be hearing from us again soon, and we'll definitely plan on a longer stay next time!
