Cozy cabin near lakes, streams, rivers, hiking trails and shops/restaurants

Located just three miles from the Big Trees State Park, our cozy family cabin offers internet and wi-fi as well as cable access for a 50" HD TV in the living room. With two bedrooms featuring queen beds, closets and storage space as well as a loft with two single beds, 1.5 baths and a fully furnished kitchen and eating area, the Ward cabin can comfortably sleep up to 6. The area around the cabin features crystal clear lakes, rivers and streams for fishing and swimming.

The internet tests at 200 mbps. There is battery back-up provides safety for power outages. I use the kitchen table for remote work.

We often stop for dinner at the Lube Room, just .9 miles from the cabin. This local favorite pub/restaurant, features draft beer, live folk music and a variety of games.

The Calaveras Big Trees State Park is three mile from the cabin in the other direction towards Arnold, CA. In the summer, the area parks offer swimming and trout fishing in the majestic streams and rivers that curve through the forests of tremendous great Pines, Sequoias and Redwoods that have made the area famous.

If catching a blue gill off the dock with your youngest is what you are looking for, there is the White Pines Lake near the center of Arnold, as well as small ponds throughout the area.

Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Sam’s cabin
Recently, we stayed at Sam’s cabin for the second time. We got there before the storm hit the area so having a fire place inside was a plus and made our stay very pleasant.It was a great experience not only because the cabin was cozy and welcoming but also it snowed a lot and the entire family had a opportunity to be creative outside whether to build a snowman or have a snowball fight as well as walking around the quiet neighborhood. We’ll recommend the cabin,it is equipped with the necessities, easy to access also communication with the owner is smooth and easy,so we’ll plan to come back.

Get what you pay for.
This is a cozy little cabin that needs some new amenities and furniture. The furniture is broken down and very uncomfortable. Light bulbs in the living room are burned out, bed sheets have holes in them. All the utensils in the kitchen are very old as well as pots and pans. The owner really needs to spend a little money on the place to make it worth the stay. Unless some upgrades are made will will not be returning.

Awesome Place and Host
Sam is an awesome host. He responds pretty quick and accommodating. For a first timer vacationing in a cabin, we had very good experience. The location is convenient and near hiking areas etc. When we got to the place, we thought that the previous renters left their food, realizing later they are food stocked for guests like us. That’s a plus! We had all we need. My family wanted to stay more days unfortunately it’s already booked for the next days but we will definitely go back. The house is warm and cozy. Thanks again Sam!

We had a wonderful experience. Sam made sure every need was met. We definitely plan to return
We enjoyed a much needed respite from our day to day lives. The ability to make day trips to the local fishing holes, hiking spots, and Big Trees was an added bonus for us. Our teenage boys had so much fun and the cabin was just what our family of four needed for our trip. The grocery store was close enough for us if we needed something for our meals. We highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area.

Great location for skiing in Bear Valley!
We had a great time staying in Dorrington in this roomy, comfortable house. It sleeps up to 6 and we had 4 comfortably staying there with a nice kitchen, easy to cook meals. Convenient 25-30 min drive to Bear Valley downhill skiing.

Cozy cabin in the woods
Our family (2 adults and 2 kids) loved staying here. Perfect size for a family of 4-6. Clean and full kitchen. Lovely forested area in Dorrington. We mostly ate in and then skied at Bear Valley. About a 30 min drive to the slopes.

Great fun in the snow
We had an awesome stay at your cabin. It was cozy and the perfect size for our family. We had fun in the snow in the yard as well as had a very easy time finding places to play in the snow and ski up at Bear Valley. Highly recommend this cabin and we look forward to staying here again!

Cabin is cozy, warm & welcoming. Awesome location!
The Ward cabin was cozy and welcoming. My family and I had a very relaxing stay amongst the beautiful trees and snow. We had trouble with the coffee maker. It was covered in old coffee grinds. We lost power due to the storm so we could not cook on the electric stove top but we made the best of it and warmed up with the wood stove.

Snow vacation
It was nice, beautiful view of the outdoors. Didn’t need to drive to far up for snow. Only the downstairs tv worked. And some lights weren’t working. Other than those minor things everything was great. Looking forward to our next trip

I would say the property is nice, it could be much better.
We arrived at the proper time, we realize the power was out, but the home was very dirty. No trash was taken from previous people, there was clothes in the washing machine, clothes in the dryer, Food left in the refrigertor still in boxes, the floors where dirty, needed cleaning. This was not proper for the money we paid for, we finally received clean sheets and towels. But had to make beds ourselves. Just not the nicest for VIBO to advetise on your system. Gene Johnson

Enjoyable weekend away
Sam was very nice and had been quick to respond to my unusual questions. He allowed us to stay a few extra hours on check-out day since no one was checking in that evening. We spent most of our time on the deck. Very pleasant. Very quiet. We love the sound of wind brushing the trees. We had 5 there and it was overall comfortable. You won't want to bring more than 5 or 6 there. Thank you Sam!
