Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Dorrington

Great place for families and groups! The house is huge and there are tons of toys for kids to play with. Very clean and the host responded quickly to any questions.

We spent a weekend here with 3 teens, one child, and two dogs. The location was perfect for us. Yes, it's in the middle of nowhere, which was the appeal for us. Come prepared with all the food and supplies you need, and if you have dogs, make sure they have good recall because there are 600+ acres of trouble for them to get into! Our dogs did great. The house itself was lovely, but some issues were a bit of a bummer. The hot tub wasn't working, the outdoor propane fire table didn't have any propane, the BBQ was incredibly rusty, one TV had no remote, and the other TV required two full resets for the volume to work. The showers also needed some maintenance. The water gets *very* hot and the knobs aren't installed correctly. The hosts were 10/10, super sweet and responsive. My kids said this was their favorite AirBNB we've stayed in, so we would definitely come back. The minor issues did not detract from the setting and outdoor things to do!

Nick's cabin was the perfect retreat for our week-long getaway in the woods. The spacious, open floor plan with tasteful decor created a welcoming atmosphere that was both comfortable and functional. The large, well-equipped kitchen was a highlight—cooking with the high-quality HexClad pans was a pleasure, and we enjoyed preparing meals together. The amenities were excellent: comfortable beds, quality furniture, a cozy fireplace, and entertainment options including a ping pong table and TV. Starlink internet was remarkably reliable—we were able to work remotely with multiple simultaneous video calls without issues. The location couldn't be better, just minutes from beautiful Pinecrest Lake and Stanislaus Forest, allowing us to balance productive workdays with afternoon adventures in nature. Nick was responsive, friendly, and accommodating throughout our stay. The cabin was immaculately clean upon arrival. This was an ideal spot for our childrens' week away from school.

We rented the Airbnb because we had 11 people staying with us for a wedding. We also had a group of bridesmaids come to the Airbnb to get ready for the wedding. The house was spacious. It accommodated us all. We were able to make breakfast for all with plenty of room and all that we needed to cook breakfast. The Master bedroom bed was very comfortable. Beautiful area with lots of deer in the area. The owner let us know that the heater wasn’t working properly prior to our arrival, but he was able to get someone to check it. It worked very well and the whole place was warm. The owner was very responsive, answering all of our questions quickly. The road leading up to the Airbnb had a lot of twists and turns. We needed our navigation system each time we left and returned. It was a nice stay overall. I would recommend it for large families or groups.

This was a great place for our family of 5. The kitchen has EVERYTHING you need. Lots of toys for the dog. It was peaceful. I work remotely and enjoyed working out on the deck. The house was warm and roomy. The wifi wasnt as great for us with me working remotely or streaming movies, but that might be expected in this wooded area. I stayed at another nearby Airbnb and their wi-fi was horrible. This was much better but not great for what I needed to do at work. I just used my hotspot and it worked out. All in all this a great spot and they really put time and effort in making you feel welcome. I definitely recommend this place. Don't miss out on it!

We had a great stay with our kids and it was perfect. Great location with access to big trees state park and bear valley.

Everything was great except the living room TV didn’t work. The host was responsive to it and as helpful as they could be without actually coming to the house. TV wasn’t a huge deal to us so we decided to go without it. But was happy the host was willing to help!

We felt very comfortable from the moment we arrived. Deborah reached out before and after our arrival, making sure we had what we needed. The home had everything we needed, with extras of all the comforts, such as blankets, pillows, towels, and bedding and ample storage space. There was also a small guide to the ins and outs of the house, which was helpful (especially as a reference at check-out). We especially enjoyed all the board games and crayons--there was plenty to keep the kids occupied when they weren't scurrying up and down the three-level bunk bed.

We went to Robert’s place a couple of years ago and it felt the same as last time: it was great! Clean and has everything we need. The place is close to everything: restaurants, grocery, main roads

Would definitely recommend staying here for your Sonora trip! Clean and comfortable, I can tell the hosts put thought and care into making it a smooth stay. Safe location with a nice front patio.

Loved our stay at Melissa’s! The place is a short 5 minute walk to downtown Sonora, everything was clean, and you can tell she put a lot of thought into the details like the complimentary treats and tea which we really appreciated. Also the place is much larger than the pictures make it seem. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It is very cozy; perfect for a woodland winter getaway compete with fires in both the outdoor fire pit and the indoor wood burning stove. The dogs lived their best dog lives running around outside and exploring. We really liked the privacy resulting from the other nearby cabins being boarded up for the winter. We were practically the only ones in the neighborhood! The only issue we had was that the instructions from the rental management company about how to obtain the keys for check-in were not clear. We would definitely recommend this place and plan to stay here again!

Wonderful small cabin for a great relaxing getaway. Beautiful view of the forest out every window and it feels very private. Perfect for a puzzle and reading vacation. Julieta was great at answering questions and was really nice. We were hoping for snow but missed it by 20ish days. Based on the pictures it looks like snow would be beautiful at the cabin. We would recommend it :)

Definitely felt homie. Loved it. Definitely will be considering to stay there again next time.

Amazing stay at Kristianne’s - sheets and towels felt luxurious and definitely got the cabin feel we wanted. Cozy stay with fuzzy blankets for the living room, very quiet surroundings. and amazing water pressure in the bathroom. Place was spotless, would definitely come again. Great location for Bear Valley and Calaveras State Park.

Our stay at Ponderosa Pines was wonderful! The cabin was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen to a relaxing hot tub. The location was perfect for exploring local attractions, and we loved the access to Twain Harte Lake. Overall, a fantastic retreat – we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful cabin looked even better in person! Loved the fenced back yard for our kids. Super easy to find and easy check in. Thank u!

Our family of four had a great two days at the cabin. The cabin was very tastefully furnished and felt like home. It was cozy and all the amenities one could expect including a family room with games and books. The house was squeaky clean and the fireplace was a great touch. The surroundings were quiet and very private. We skied at Dodge Ridge which was 20 min away. Overall a memorable weekend for our family and we plan to visit again this summer.

First time in Arnold, Ca. Perfect place for our family weekend getaway, close to Calaveras Big Trees and to the Sno-Park areas! It was very clean and organized with extra mattresses and lots of extra blankets and games for our family. Clear instructions, peaceful place, and very responsive host. Some local recommendations as well. Definitely will be back and will recommend to family and friends. Thank you!
