About this property

Serenity Now! : 2 BR, 2 BA Cabin or Bungalow in Dorrington, Sleeps 4

Quiet, light filled location with brand new driveway. Inside the cabin you will find a lovely family room upstairs with a brand new sofa and recliner and a very efficient wood stove to keep you warm during the winter months. The large dining table provides ample space for dining or building puzzles or playing games with the family. High speed internet for streaming tv or working remotely.

The main floor has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed. The downstairs bonus room has a large sectional sofa. While it's not a sleeper sofa, 2 additional people can make beds on the sofa to allow for 6 guests in total.

Enjoy the view while grilling on the barbecue located on the upstairs deck.

The downstairs family room has plenty of room to hang out and relax. There is also access to the ground level deck.

Wonderful attractions nearby include Calaveras Big Trees State Park (approx. 10 minute drive), Bear Valley Ski Resort (20.3 miles east), and Lake Alpine (23.1 miles east) which is great for summertime lake activities and winter sports as well.

The Sourgrass day use area is located on the Stanislaus river and i just a 10 minute drive down Boards Crossing Road. It's a great area for a picnicing, swimming or fishing.

Wineries and restaurants abound in the charming town of Murphys and don't forget to visit Moaning Caverns, Mercer Caverns and the historic gold rush town of Columbia State Park.

Better in winter than summer

I think this would be a great winter rental. There is no air conditioning and 95 degree days are a little oppressive. In general it is a great place to stay.

Cozy yet roomy nature getaway!

We had a wonderful stay. Pictures accurate &instructions were clear. We wanted a brief 3-day weekend getaway with our dog to enjoy nature and this was perfect! Pros: very clean, has all you need to enjoy your stay, cook, entertain yourselves, etc. All kitchen needs were more than met, lots of board games and even a piano! Furniture very comfortable & you can sleep two 5'6" adults comfortably on the downstairs couch (I tested, I approve!), very easy to get to. Very quick replies to questions in advance. Tips: It's a Keurig but we brought ground coffee...oops! But there were a lot of extras there, yay! There's no A/C, so enjoy the downstairs; we hung out there mostly and were very comfortable. Look for walking paths & such ahead of time. If you can stay longer, do it! You'll save overall when you factor in costs for cleaning, fees, etc., so you'll get more bang for your buck on a longer stay. Driveway is steep so consider that if booking in winter. You have to drive your trash to a local place (took us no more than 5 mins on our overall drive back so not a worry), but read instructions when you check in so that you know the days of the week they are closed in case it's your departure date. Suggestions: Watch boiler-plate instructions in the home manuals (there is no dishwasher), leave local walking path info (we had no idea where to head out around there), put legal-ese into one PDF vs a ton of separate VRBO emails. Not big, but thought I would mention. Loved our stay!!!!
