CONTACTING US
We do not live locally but are available by phone, email, or through listing sites. Our wonderful cleaner is available on-location for immediate needs.

RENTAL AGREEMENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT ($500)
After you book, we’ll send you a quick link to sign our standard Rental Agreement. It just takes a minute and must be done within 48 hours to lock in your reservation.
We also place a $500 security deposit hold on your credit card. It’s not a charge, just a hold, and it gets released within 5 days after checkout.
These steps are part of our process and separate from the listing site. You’ll need to complete both the agreement and deposit hold before we can send your door code and check-in info.

TRASH REMOVAL FEE ($150):
Like many cabins in the area, we do not have regular trash pickup and we, therefore, require guests to dispose of their own trash either by taking it home or to the local dump on their way out of town.

If you choose to leave trash behind we will withhold a $150 trash removal fee from your security deposit or as a payment request through the booking platform. This fee is waived for bookings that check out on Wednesdays, Thursdays, or days when the dump is closed. There is a convenient free trash dump on your way out of town in Avery (more directions/instructions provided after booking).

EV CHARGING FEE (per charging station)
We charge $0.50/kWh for charging. Depending on your booking platform we will either charge the credit card we have on file or request the payment through the listing site after checkout.

PET POLICY:
You are welcome to bring along up to two well-behaved, house-trained dogs. We charge a flat $125 for up to two pets. Please describe your furry friends and their behavior/personality when you book!

WEATHER AND OUTAGES:
No refunds for storms, poor regional air quality, or weather-related outages (Comcast, PG&E, etc).

In the winter we strongly encourage you to drive a 4-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) vehicle and/or be experienced with tire chains.
We encourage you to stay informed as best you can about weather forecasts and any planned electric utility outages. Evergreen Dorrington Chalet (not Pinecone Cottage) has an automatic generator to supply power to the house during a power outage.

The generator will not, however, maintain broadband internet or cable television if the Comcast substations go down due to a widespread power outage. We may have an emergency internet workaround, but that is not guaranteed. We do the best we can to provide you with full amenities, but rural mountain life has its challenges.

We encourage you to consider purchasing a separate low-cost travel insurance policy that can provide you coverage for last-minute cancellations. As part of the Evergreen Dorrington booking process, we provide you the option to purchase trip insurance from a 3rd party provider.

CELL PHONE COVERAGE
Please note: cell phone reception is limited in the Arnold/Dorrington area. VERIZON (and its partners like Tracfone, and Xfinity Mobile) tends to be the only provider that works.

Great Mountain trip!!
We had a bunch of family (my kids, my sisters and their kids) all meeting for a mountain trip, and this place was perfect! The kids loved the game room and the snow outside, and the adults loved the hot tub. Host was quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely rent this place again!

Fantastic
This is such a great place for a multi-family trip. This is our second year meeting friends & family here for some snow time. It’s perfect for 3 families. Kids had a blast in the game room. Everything with the house was great. We will definitely rent here again!

Nice Family friendly place with all amenities
We, 3 families - a total of 12 members, stayed in the 2 houses Chelsea was the host for. It was a wonderful experience. We lucked out with the snowfall that happened 2 days prior to our trip. The kids had super fun. Chelsea notified us of the snowfall and suggested us to come prepared; that tip helped immensely. We had a blast at the white pines lake (10-15 min drive from Chelsea's place). The house was as described. All the rooms had fresh, clean towels. Had all the necessary utensils we needed for a comfortable stay. The espresso machine was a godsend in the cold weather. We enjoyed the ping-pong, foosball and pacman. All in all it was a visit we will remember for a long time to come. Thank You Chelsea. We loved your place.

About the host

Hosted by Chelsea Vaughn

Host profile image
I am Chelsea Vaughn, proud co-owner of Evergreen Dorrington Chalet and Cottage.
I am a Colorado native who loves to travel, hike, and spend quality time with family and friends. I love Dorrington because it gives me a taste of the Rockies, but is much closer to my Bay Area home! Welcoming guests to Evergreen Dorrington properties has been a joy.

Why they chose this property

Having traveled with our family to the Arnold area for several years we decided to make Dorrington our second home. We hoped to find a home that would give us 4-season fun and the benefit of that clean mountain air! Skiing, hiking, biking, and kayaking are what we love about the area, and now our dream has come true. We really like being part of the Arnold/Dorrington community and want to share our home with like-minded people.
