We appreciated the property, the location, and the access to the outdoor amenities at Big Trees Village. The location is 5 minutes from Calaveras Big Trees state park. There are tons of sequoias and great trails. Big Tree Village had 2 pools, pickle ball, bocce ball, Frisbee golf, basketball, four square, shuffle board, foosball, ping pong, and probably more. They do close at 5 most days which seemed kind of early, but we still enjoyed it. Also Big Tree Village is not in walking distance, just to let others know.We spent a day at Yosemite and a day at Lake Tahoe.The game room under the garage kept my sons busy. The owners were quick to respond when the a/c was not working properly and had it fixed the same day. I will mention a few MINOR issues/ complaints. The screen door in the living room was bent and didn't open/ close well. The sliding glass doors in the bedrooms didn't have screens so we were unable to open those in the evening. The queen bedroom didn't have a window, so a screen on the door would have been great. The listing was a bit misleading for the bedroom with bunk beds. It looked like there were 2 sets of twin bunk beds in the listing, but there is only one set of twin bunk beds, a twin trundle bed and a futon. (This was sufficient for our needs so this didn't affect us, I'm just pointing it out.) Both showers were not enclosed. They were each open so that it would get a bit cold while showering. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend! THANKS : )

Immaculate cabin with all of the amenities
We visited for a long weekend after a late Spring snowstorm brought good snowshoe conditions to the area. This cabin is absolutely amazing; spotlessly clean, stylish, with a fantastic kitchen upstairs and a full spa-like bathroom downstairs (perfect for a long tub soak after a day on the trails). There is a gameroom with all the fun things you could want; we were just two but I imagine a family would have big fun here too. It was a perfect getaway; thanks for this gorgeous space and I hope we'll be back!

Gem in Big Trees Village!
Very well appointed home in Dorrington. Loved our stay. Very clean inside with many comforts! Only negative was the very dirty barbecue. We wanted to grill dinner but looked like the grill hadn’t been cleaned in some time.
