Summary:
Summer relaxation and adventure season is here! From Arnold to Ebbetts Pass the options for a mountain escape are truly endless. "2 Dog Lodge" is the perfect cabin for your family and the puppos too! Hike & swim in the mountain lakes, relax at the community pool and then enjoy the yard for evening grilling and chilling. Everyone is going to have a good time. Our cabin is located just a few turns off of Hwy 4, in the wooded neighborhood of Camp Connell. Every season offers something special.
The Space:
2 Dog Lodge is ideal for small groups and families who want a quiet escape in the mountains and are bringing the fur-babies along for the adventure. Check out our social content and reviews ! Throughout winter we stock firewood, kindling, fire-starters and old newsprint so you can easily keep the cabin cozy and warm ~ wood heat is good heat :)
When the snow melts and it's time to enjoy the outdoors, we have deck furniture, a gas grill, gas firepit and chairs in the yard, plus a redwood picnic table. The Big Trees Village Community center with pool, frisbee golf and other activities is open, and our guests have free access.
Downstairs you'll find a kitchen with everything needed to cook complete meals, plus a comfortable living room & dining setup. There's a bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet and dedicated workspace downstairs, plus full bath and laundry. Upstairs you'll find a spacious bedroom with 2 queen beds, huge closet, porta-crib and dog beds which you can use, plus attached bathroom with shower.
55" smart TVs in the living room and the upstairs bedroom will keep everyone entertained when outdoors adventures wrap up. The Wi-Fi is fast enough to stream or work-from-cabin too.
Access to the cabin is super-easy: level and flat entrance from the county road, plus parking for up to 3 cars just steps from the front porch. We have a small deck with seating and a Charbroiler gas bbq. Patio furniture, Adirondack chairs, a gas fire-pit and a redwood picnic table give you numerous options for how and where to enjoy the property.
**New to the yard: we've added a propane fire-table and a redwood picnic table. Be sure to bring marshmallows for toasting**
Guest Access:
You'll access the cabin with a smart-lock. We'll send you the code and wifi password before you arrive. The entire cabin and yard is yours to enjoy! Keep in mind that you're in the mountains and weather, critters and terrain can surprise you at any time - even in the fenced yard area. Don't leave children or pets unattended, please.
The Neighborhood:
Quiet forested mountain neighborhood at 5000' elevation. Easy access from Hwy 4 east of Dorrington, just minutes away from high alpine adventures year around.
Getting Around:
Parking for the cabin is off-street, we have a level and driveway with easy access from the county road. Plow services throughout the winter help maintain access.
Snow and ice: at 5000' we can get snow and/or freezing temperatures any time between October and May. During the winter it is best to always carry chains and come up in an all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive vehicle with all-season or snow tires.
Other Things to Note:
You'll lose cell service along Hwy 4 most of the way from Murphy's to the cabin. **Be sure to download your check in instructions before you lose service**
House rules will be emailed with your reservation confirmation.
Interaction with Guests:
As hosts we are available (remotely) to provide support or answer questions most days 7am - 8pm. We have local cleaners and support personnel in the event of something seriously wrong and will do our best to remedy any situation that impacts your stay. Generally, the cabin creates a very independent experience for guests who enjoy an escape to the mountains.
Arnold is home to this cabin. Whale Rock and Chief William Fuller Monument are local landmarks, and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Calaveras Big Trees State Park and Calaveras South Grove Nature Preserve. Leland Meadows and Twain Harte Miniature Golf are also worth visiting.
