PARKING
* FLAT Driveway, with plenty of parking (2-3 cars). We keep it PLOWED all winter, but in a big storm, you may have to clear doorways yourselves with available shovels.
We do not live locally but are available by phone, email, or through the app. Our wonderful cleaner is available on-location for immediate needs.

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!

RENTAL AGREEMENT and SECURITY DEPOSIT ($250)
* Immediately after booking you will receive a link to a separate Rental Agreement from Evergreen Dorrington Chalet. This agreement must be e-signed within 48 hours for the booking to take effect.
* We may require a separate security deposit credit card hold of $250, released within 5 days after check-out. Your submission of the rental agreement is a requirement of Evergreen Dorrington Chalet, separate from any requirements of this listing site.

TRASH REMOVAL FEE ($150):
For your convenience, we have installed a bear box with both a trash and recycling can. Trash day is every MONDAY morning and recycling is picked up every other MONDAY.

We installed the bear box in the hopes that you wont have to take your trash out with you. But we obviously cant guarantee that the cans will be empty when you arrive. At checkout, please take any trash that does not fit in the bear box with you to the local dump. There is a convenient free trash dump on your way out of town in Avery (more directions/instructions provided after booking).

If you choose to leave overflow trash INSIDE THE CABIN, we will charge a $150 trash removal fee because we will have to pay someone to take it to the dump. If all of your trash fits in the bear box, there will be no charge.

EV CHARGING FEE
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 app after checkout.

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. The cabin 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 offer 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.

Perfect stay! Nice, private neighborhood in beautiful pine trees (still miss that smell). It is quiet & so dark at night for amazing star views. Close to restaurants, parks, trails, & stores. The owners go above & beyond to make sure you have everything - fully stocked, many personal touches. We loved the espresso machine, hot tub, Nintendo Switch, park pass, pellet stove & firepit! Plenty of towels, sheets, blankets & kitchenware - we ate in most nights because we loved being there. We searched tons of places in N Cali before choosing this one & considered visiting surrounding areas like Yosemite or Lake Tahoe but found so much to do in the area that we never had time! Highly recommend Big Trees State Park (both N & S trails), Natural Bridges Trail, San Antonio Creek Falls Overlook, shops/wineries on Main St in Murphys, & The Watering Hole (lots of things on tap & great food). We visited the Bistro & Big Trees Market the most. It was all just what we needed for our little get away!

Response:Thanks for the awesome review, Jess! We're so glad you loved the peaceful setting, starry nights, and our homey touches. Sounds like you made the most of Calaveras County too, with stops at Big Trees State Park, Natural Bridges, and more. We’d love to welcome you back for more relaxation and adventure! Thanks for being wonderful guests.

We had a wonderful stay at Pinecone Cottage! Beautiful surroundings, private yet not to far from walks, hikes and the highway. The small touches and amenties really stood out: phone chargers, espresso machine, hot tub, extra towels and linens and even an app! Directions for everything were right at your finger tips, even town recommendations. Chelsea was very communicative and welcoming. We plan to rebook for our annual trip to this area!

Response:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Jenn. I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the little touches.

It was a perfect place for us to visit the surrounding areas like the big tree state park, the wineries, the caverns, etc. After the day activities, this place provided a good size of hot tub for our family to relax, good selections of DVD's for the family movie night, and the video games to keep the fun going. And the espresso machine was making great Americano for us to have a great start of the day. Very grateful to find this place the last minute and the request to stay was accepted. Thanks a lot to Chelsea. Such a wonderful host and easy to communicate.

Meet The Host

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!
