About this property

Spacious 5 BR Mountain Home For Large Families Or Groups

Located in the Big Trees area, this Arnold/Dorrington house comfortably sleeps 14. There are 4 downstairs bedrooms, all with a queen bed (rooms are all equal sized) plus a 5th bedroom in the loft with 2 queen beds and 2 twins (bunk bed style). Stocked with fun games (upstairs loft area with Ping Pong, Air Hockey and Foosball) for the kids and a large common area downstairs, you can host a large group without feeling cramped. In the winter, this is the closest stop to Bear Valley and in the summer, you're minutes away from the Stanislaus River and Big Trees State Park and a short drive to Murphys (wine tasting, caving and more). We have a welcome book at the cabin highlighting activities in the area, as well as some fun ideas for in the cabin. Hope you enjoy your stay! (For families, this house has been 'baby-proofed' with safety gates, high chairs (x2), toys and pack-n-play (x2) available).

We typically require at least a 3-night minimum but feel free to inquire about 2-nights and we'll let you know.

Cabin rentals DO NOT include linens so renters are responsible for bringing their own sheets, towels and pillowcases. (Blankets and Pillows provided at the cabin). If you would like to rent linens ($18/bed), we can connect you to the local service in the area.

Our house does not have A/C but it's rarely needed. The cabin stays very cool during the day and evenings in Dorrington cool down even in the summer

Lastly, we get a lot of inquiries from people wanting to go to Yosemite. While we're very close to many outdoor adventures in Calaveras County, it's about a 3-hour drive to Yosemite Valley as you have to go back out to the central valley to get there.

Winter getaway
We had a wonderful stay. The house was very roomy and well stocked. The house was clean. They have a fireplace with plenty of wood to keep you warm.They also have a house heater. They are located close to restaurants stores and activities. If you want to stay in they have plenty of games and pingpong and air hockey and foosball tables. The house is kid friendly and has safety gates and plenty of kid toys. The house is right off the main highway. We all fit really comfortably in the large house. The owner was very attentive to our needs and quick response was appreciated. I will be returning soon. This is our second stay…

Fantastic house and owner
This is one of our favorite cabins to stay at. The listing was spot on, and the owner went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The bed situation and layout made this perfect for our large family. We had nine adults and a lot of kids, and this was more than enough room. Will definitely rebook this cabin for future trips.

Very roomy cabin
The whole family had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was very roomy. The owner was very attentive. They had many board games and toys. They had a ping pong table and a fools game table upstairs. The upstairs had a loft with roomy couches and a large room with lots of twin and double beds. This worked out great for us because of the kids could stay upstairs and we could stay downstairs. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Ben Studer

Host profile image
We wanted a house up in the mountains to bring our family to over the years. We're excited about hosting friends and family and making lots of memories!

Why they chose this property

We love the layout of this house, although we spend most of the time on the back deck in the summer. While it's right off the highway, it feels secluded (and there's no road noise) and provides a great spot close to skiing, Stanislaus River and all kinds of activities

What makes this property unique

Lots of room! 4 equal sized bedrooms (so no fighting over who gets which one) as well as a loft bedroom upstairs with two queen beds and two twin loft beds
