Late Snow Mini-Trip

Awesome stay! Our two families wanted to do a mini snow trip, but the timing dates for our two families worked out to be the end of March - not much hope for a lot of snow. That stated, we rented Kevko's Cabin - Classic Chalet in Big Trees Village. Checking in, there were just a few mini snow patches - not what we had hoped for, but realized we had to drive 20 miles east on Highway 4 to Bear Valley to see more snow. Up at Bear Valley we had more snow and had a great time cross-country skiing. Fantastic! That night in Camp Cornell, we had major thunder and lightning storms, which were a great nature treat. Even better, we also got 9 inches of snowfall that night, an even better treat! Nature aside, the cabin met all our expectations. Thanks for the great new memories.

3 star

The cabin pictures online looked better then the cabin in person. There were stains in the carpet in the living room and bedrooms. The cabin was well stocked with the necessary kitchen items and towels. Overall a 3 star.

Amazing Mountain Cabin

Our stay was amazing! It was the first time for us in Dorrington. The place was spacious, yet cozy! I’ve never stayed at a cleaner house, the property management company clearly takes very good care of their properties. It was great for kids with a pool table and just enough snow on the ground for a sled run! Highly recommend this home! We would love to go back next year!

Mom's Family Bday

My family and I had such a wonderful time! Kevkos cabin was comfortable and spacious. Play room did have a musty smell but nothing that made our worry list. Futon cushion is definitely worn out (could stand to be replaced) but all other beds were comfortable, definitely on the firmer side. Bbq is now propane and not charcoal (very nice and easy to use). Celebrated a nice immediate family getaway with definite plans to return! Thank you.

Scammers - Be Aware!

Don’t rent from anything from Cedar Creek! They talk smoothly to sell and yell at you if you ask for what you paid for. I rented the house with swimming pool which does exist in the community but they don’t pay the membership so you cannot use. Called 4 times went there once and they treat us super bad, as if we were disturbing their peace. The even manager yelled at my pregnant wife. Please do yourself a favor and rent from someone else.

Spacious, comfortable and well equipped

Great house in a great location. Lots of space, great pool table and a well equipped kitchen. Beds and couches were comfortable. It was quite hot when we visited but there were several fans to help cool us down. The only negative I can think of was that the grill was a bit old and difficult to light. Would definitely recommend.

Too Hot

This house was extremely hot. The only place that was cool was the downstairs pool room, which had a strong musty, moldy smell. We ended up leaving a day early.

Great location, plenty of room

Our family had a great time at the house. It was a quick 20 minute drive to Bear Valley for snowboarding. The lower level had a tv and a pool table which was great for the teens to hang out. Easy 10 minute drive to Arnold for shopping and eating if needed.

We had a great weekend at Kevkos cabin. We've stayed there before but this is the first time there was snow, and it was a great place to play with the kids. The cabin is a comfortable family cabin with lots of room, the kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. The kids really enjoyed the cubbies under the eaves for getting away from the adults. Will return.

Mountain Retreat

My girlfriends and I found such peace and restoration at this beautiful mountain retreat. A trip to wine taste in Murphys, a wonderful walk among the redwoods and sequoias at the nearby state part, reading, playing cards...Just what the doctor ordered. Kevko's cabin was immaculate, and comfortably appointed with ample sleeping and sitting spaces. Beds were super comfortable and there were lots of "nook" spaces to find a quiet place to read away from others who wanted to visit or play cards. Will definitely return!

Great weekend at Kevko Cabin! Cabin was wonderful, very comfortable, quiet, clean and well appointed, spacious, comfortable beds, good lighting and that wonderful deck perfect place for get together's. There is game room downstairs with a pool table, wonderful for giving those kids their own space so the adults can relax upstairs. We had a great time! We will rent this cabin again soon.

Awesome place

Our family has stayed at Kevko's Cabin on two different occasions. We loved everything about the cabin. It was a warm and cozy place to call home for awhile. I have two teenage grandsons and they loved the downstairs with the pool table. I myself had not played pool in years and we all had a great time. There is plenty of space so people are not stumbling all over each other. One visit was when it was snowing and we had a great time. My grandkids made a toboggan run right next to the house so when we got cold we were able to get inside and dry off. We are all looking forward to the next time we can stay there.

Great cabin

We had a great time staying at Kevko Cabin. We were several adults and (4) children and there was plenty of room for all of us. It is a very spacious cabin with a huge pool room on the bottom floor that the kids as well as the adults took fully advantage of. The bedrooms are a good size, the beds are very comfortable and the entire house has a warm and cozy feel to it. Large dining room table with room for plenty of people to gather around for dining or playing games. Kids had a great time playing and sledding in the snow at the side of the house. All together a great house and a great trip.

The perfect cabin in the trees.

This is our third stay at the Kevko Cabin. It is a large 3 story spacious cabin with a full kitchen. The kids loved playing pool down stairs in the game room. We also loved sitting on the patio watching the squirrels in the trees during the day, and the bright starts at night. The fire at night was perfect to warm up to after playing outside on the snowy hill next to the cabin. The beds were very comfortable, and the cabin has a very relaxing, warm atmosphere. The magnificent view of the trees out the large windows makes it feel like a tree house cabin. This is the perfect place to unwind and relax, we are looking forward to returning again soon.

Kevkos Cabin

The size of this cabin fit 6 adults and three children well. The cabin was very dirty. I spilled water on the kitchen floor; the towel used for cleanup came back very dirty. Every floor was dirty and the living room carpet was very stained. When we were cleaning up before we departed, we looked under the bunk beds to make sure we hadn't left anything and found two diapers...eew! We don't have any child in diapers so there were left by some former occupants.The shams on the king bed had stains and needed washing. The two queen bed mattresses were in such bad shape that you could not sleep on either side witout rolling towards the huge slump in the middle. If you are a migraine sufferer, avoid the living and dining room where uncovered fluorescent lights hang on beams and some of us could see the flickering continually. We tried not to turn them on, but the few table lights were so dim it was hard to see without the flourescents. I would not recommend this cabin in its current condition. Its unfortunate because the cabin could be a great place to come back to each year with just a few fairly obvious corrections. Our kids loved the hill outside the cabin and used it to sled a lot. They also loved the pool table.

Cozy Getaway

A homey and comfortable cabin. Mattresses were comfy, which is always key for a good vacation. Separate from the neighbors, so a nice amount of privacy.
