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 won't have to take your trash out with you. But we obviously can't 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.

Great location, perfect home away from home! This cabin was so cute and cozy, it was very clean and so nicely decorated! It was well stocked and you can see the pride in ownership as soon as you arrive. Chelsea and Bobby have gone above and beyond to make everything very comfortable for their guests. They have thought of everything even an app that provides all the information you need during your stay. We will def book again in the future!

Lovely location, amongst the trees and very quiet so you it feels secluded although it is part of a nice neighborhood. Access to the neighborhood community pool and playground was awesome, fire pit and hot tub were amazing, well equipped house including espresso machine. Appreciated small touches like the phone charging cords for the three common charging plugs, and easy to remember door lock code. We had a few questions along the way and the owner was very helpful and replied very quickly. Only issue is that the upper half of the taller windows was uncovered so light streamed in pretty early in the morning, but you kind of have to expect that from staying in a cute cabin in the woods so just make sure you bring an eye mask if you are not an early riser. Would 100% stay here again.

Overall great trip. The lodge was clean and well maintained. The hot tub was a highlight. In addition, Bobby provided amazing customer service when we bumped into a local issue with PG&E cutting off power in the neighborhood. We would definitely come back.

Our family of 3 plus little dog had a fantastic stay at the Pinecone Cottage. We loved the jacuzzi after long days of skiing. We loved that the kitchen had all of the cooking utensils, pots, pans, and appliances we needed for meals. The WiFi was reliable, and we had access to many streaming services and movies. The beds were comfortable! The towels were plentiful! The driveway was plowed each morning! Chelsea and Bobby are thoughtful hosts, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The house was wonderful and we were very happy with our stay. We had no complaints and the hosts were very responsive. We plan to stay again in the summer to be able to partake in more local trails. We stayed when there was still a good amount of snow on the ground, but it was refreshing to walk our dog around the neighborhood with all the beautiful snow. Would totally recommend this rental to anyone!

We loved our time at the Pinecone Cottage. Beautiful place, nice hot tub, safe area. The girls loved roasting marshmallows over the outdoor firepit. The only thing I hadn't considered was that there is no fence for the doggo so I had to take him out on a leash. I could have just left him tied outside on the leash if he didn't have separation anxiety. Communication was great. The whole process was easy. Thanks!

We had a beautiful time! A girls weekend, way overdue! We loved the pellet stove fireplace, the espresso machine, the hot-tub and the openness of the kitchen/living space. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked! Loved the thoughtful touches like the complimentary bottle of wine, chocolates and sweet guestbook. The digital manual Chelsea sent, prior to our arrival, was a great reference tool. Thank you, Chelsea!

We had an amazing time at the Evergreen Pinecone Cottage! The cottage was super cozy and was well appointed with all the amenities. The tall A-frame windows have beautiful views of the pines and keep you connected with the outdoors, which was really nice with 6-7 feet of snow on the ground! The hot tub was wonderful and espresso machine was so much fun in the mornings. Chelsea and Bobby were amazing hosts, they had awesome communication and provided clear details on everything including providing an app for quick reference. The Dorrington area was quiet and peaceful and loved taking our pups on long walks through the neighborhood and narrow snow lined streets. Overall, the cottage was very clean and cozy with tons of character and had all the amenities of home. We loved our stay and would highly recommend the Evergreen Cottage for a relaxing and carefree vacation!

We came here to celebrate my son’s 12th birthday and had a great time. The property was clean and well- equipped, we cooked both nights we were there. The hot tub was a treat, as was the sno park pass! Chelsea was always quick to respond and a great communicator. Love the neighborhood, and how well- groomed the streets were even after snowfall. I would love to stay here again! Thank you Chelsea!

Wow we can’t say enough about this cabin. Our family of 5 has the best time. Kids played in the snow for hours daily, hot tub fun while it snowed, played Atari, board games and watching movies. We loved all the special touches like the biscotti’s and cookies. The cabin has everything you need. We would definitely come back.

This property was an absolutely perfect getaway for our family. Chelsea and Bobby are the best possible hosts and thought of every last detail to make our trip exactly what we were hoping it would be. Check-in was seamless, the home was spotless, and everything worked exactly as indicated. We were there in the winter and the roads and driveway were plowed just as described in the listing, and we had more entertainment options indoors than we could even get to during our stay. The hot tub was clean and warmed up quickly, and our whole family enjoyed that feature so much. We were so happy we chose this home to rent for our family trip to the snow, and we hope to rent from Chelsea and Bobby again soon, as they were the easiest hosts to work with that I’ve ever rented from. Wonderful stay—highly recommend!

The cabin was exactly as advertised and was a great place for our family to get away for a few days. Chelsea was extremely helpful with communication on things to do near by as well as different amenities that the town offers.

We had a lovely stay at Pinecone Cottage and couldn’t have been happier. The cute cabin had everything we needed and the kitchen was very well stocked. The beds were comfy and we appreciated the little touches like the phone chargers and how everything was clearly labeled. They even have a digital house manual that helps explains the house very clearly. The location was also perfect, since we spent a lot of time at the local lakes and the Lube Room! Chelsea was very attentive to our needs and was a great host. We look forward to coming back in the winter and enjoying some snow fun, too!

We enjoyed our time at the cabin very much and found it comfortable, clean, and spacious for our needs. The neighborhood is blissfully quiet. The kitchen was well stocked. Our favorite gathering place was the backyard deck where we would unwind from a day of swimming, hiking, and kayaking. We have zero complaints and the reservation was painless.

The Pinecone Cottage is truly special. It’s clean, well decorated, has a really cozy lay out and a kitchen with plenty of cooking items. The espresso machine is a real treat. The hot tub is such a fun experience as well. As always the owners of these special homes think of everything. They are very responsive and helpful if needed. We look forward to another stay at Pinecone Cottage.
5.0 / 5.0
Amazing stay at an awesome spot! House had everything we needed and then some. Loved the coffee bar with the variety of syrups- what a surprise! Really appreciated the website for the house that had all the details we would need in one place- including recommendations for restaurants.
The pass to Big Trees was also a bonus that was unexpected and came in useful.
Hot tub was state of the art and added that touch of luxury to our mountain escape.
Beds were comfortable, house was clean and the back deck was an amazing place to relax and recharge.
We can’t wait to come back!
