Ski race weekend trip

We booked the house for two families for the weekend for our kids to race at Dodge Ridge. We arrived after dinner, checking was seamless. The house did not have wifi which was almost an issue because we had a work issue to handle but it is advertised properly that there is no wifi. There were clean dishes in the dishwasher to be u loaded. They say to bring your own paper towels and toilet paper but there was some of each upon arrival. The communication with the host was easy. 5 kids slept in the loft which is perfect for kids and two couples used the rooms downstairs. We will try to book this same home when we come back to ski dodge ridge. It was a quick 12 minute drive to the resort.

Pinecrest lodge

Place was as advertised- older cabin fit for family stay; once heater got going it was very warm and cozy; appliances are a bit dated and we waited a while for boiling water etc. Very convenient location close to Dodge Ridge. Now they need snow!

Great stay

We went with little kids to enjoy the snow. The description of the place was pretty accurate. We knew what to expect and got prepared and had a great time. The heating was not perfect (Some rooms in the lower floor were cold while top floor got pretty warm) but it is a cabin and definitely it was not a huge problem. It has a cute spacious place with a good location.

Great Location but prepare to travel back in time...

I brought my wife and two kids (6 and 8) to this cabin for a long ski weekend and I will concede, the nightly rate for a place this big was very affordable given its size, however, with exception to a new oven in the kitchen, this place was super rough. Granted we went during a big snowstorm but the road to the cabin was so poorly plowed that we couldn't drive all the way up to the front door. The driveway was never plowed so we had to park at the overflow lot and hike 1/2 mile down to the cabin in the snow. The only source of heat is one propane fireplace and it took a full day and half for the inside temperature to get higher than 55 degrees. The furniture is all pretty beat up and the sheets for the beds (which we had to make ourselves) and the towels in the bath room are all super old and thread bare. The kitchen utensils and glassware were equally old and beat up, picture the leftovers at a yard sale. You will need to bring everything you need to make a meal, not a salt shaker in sight, no garbage can, no sponge, no nothing. Also, no internet and 1 bar of cell phone service if you are lucky so bring a book and ham radio. You are basically camping, which has its charm, but only if you are expecting to go camping. There is air hockey...kind of.

Cozy cabin perfect for big families

Me and my family had an amazing stay. The cabin was spacious and accommodated my family of 10 plus our little pup. Everything was as expected. Only downside was the service for some Verizon and no Wi-Fi but other than that everything was explained accordingly. So close to dodge ridge and Pinecrest. Area gets a lot of snow and icy please bring chains when needed! Cabin had a lovely kitchen area and we all enjoyed the hockey & foosball table for entertainment. Darlene was also very accommodating and even offered late check out which was super nice since the snow was starting to come down hard. She was a great host. We look forward to booking another property in the future.

PRETTY DECENT RUSTIC CABIN!

Our Family had a great time (8 humans plus 2 dogs) everything was functional as it is, great location from Dodge Ridge Ski Resort (about 14 minutes drive or less) and Pinecrest Lake (10 minutes or less) You can't ask for more for the price! Our only reccomendation to the host is that a few matresses (not all of them) need to be upgraded. The night sky here is gorgeous, and you can take very decent long exposure pictures of the night sky.

OLD FRIENDS REUNION

Having rented different houses over the years, we were shocked at this place. Admittedly I accidentally rented this one thinking it was the one we rented the previous year. Every other place we rented had linens, soap, etc. None of these were present, we had to bring everything. The Beds were not very comfortable, one of them the springs could be felt, and mine was rock hard, Mine also moved if I tried to sit up or fluff a pillow. I had to put socks on the wheels so it would stay put. All the lights were dim and even with them all on it was dark. Too cheap to put in higher-watt bulbs. The TV'a were15 inch models. Very small screen and with basic cheap cable on it. Upstairs which is open with bunk beds and regular beds had a VCR DVD player with a bunch of old VCR tapes. It didn't work. Also had an old run-down air hockey game that barely worked. Luckily it wasn't cold because the heater was a Kerosene contraption that we couldn't figure out. One would not want to be there in the winter as it is all single-pane windows and a lousy heating system. The cabin seems old and cheaply built. I do not recommend this to anyone.

Reunion in Cold Springs

Really enjoyed walking the loop in the Cold Springs cabin area a few times. There are some really nice views and a short trail on the lava ridge. There’s also a trail at the bottom of the development that can be taken to the river. Pinecrest Lake, Movie Under the Stars, swimming and hiking were all great. Dinner on the river at Strawberry was delicious. The Pine Crest Store is an icon with fun t-shirts, hats and all kinds of lake stuff. Love it all!

Nice cabin in high Sierra, right next to Pinecrest lake

Really nice rustic cabin, a lot of character. Very short drive to Pinecrest lake and hikes. We and our dog Daphnia loved breakfast on a sunny deck and long morning walks in the nearby forest. Also great host, we forgot our blankets but she got them to us after we called her and asked her help. Highly recommend!

Decent for the price

The house clean and had plenty of space. It is very outdated. The stove works but needs replacing. Needed maintenance to come fix the shower before we could use it. Great communication with management, great location, fit 2 families with plenty of space. Beds are uncomfortable. Overall the stay was a success.

Nice, rustic place- info needs updating

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, but rustic. Really a classic cabin experience. They might need to come through and update the binder and notices. I think some tips on how to cool the place down and access the amenities would be helpful. Once we checked in, we just kind of figured it out.

About the host

Hosted by Darlene - A1 Vacations Customer Since July 1996

We've been serving vacationers since 1984, 40 years. It's a family business, my children grew up in the business and still assist guests daily. When I started, the cabins didn't even have TV, it was the forest and fun that drew guests up the mountain to play, swim, fish, hike, bike, horseback ride and visit Columbia State Park, Dodge Ridge Ski Resort, Pinecrest lake, Ice skating, snow play, Tuolumne and Stainislaus River, big Trees and so much more. It has been a pleasure to serve thousands of guests over the years. We do our very best to make each stay a great experience. The crew works exceptionally hard to keep everything going! We look forward to having you as a guest!

Why they chose this property

This beautiful ideal cabin home is centrally located for uphill and downhill activities. From Pinecrest Lake to Don Pedro. Dodge Ridge to Yosemite, Calavaras county as well. Every thing from Casino-Spelunking, Water Sports to live theater.
