About this cabin rental
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 wifi 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.

We had so much fun staying at this cute little cabin. Took advantage of being closer to the mountain! The host was extremely helpful with any questions and even returned an item that we left at the place. It was great to have a little yard for dogs to go in, although One of my small dogs was able to get under the fence so just be aware of that. I would highly recommend this place! Thank you, Michael!

We had a great stay at this clean and well stocked cabin. Everything is well maintained and comfortable. The fenced in yard was a great area for our golden to run and play safely while we had lunch at the picnic table. The smart TV's were really nice and the high speed internet was excellent for the little bit of remote work that needed doing. Lots of thoughtful details for the human and canine guests alike.

We stayed at 2 Dog Lodge for a long ski weekend. The cabin is very well appointed with everything we needed. Our 2 teenagers had their own large bedroom and our dogs had their own large dog beds! It heats up easily with the wood stove and is located very conveniently off the highway to get us to the ski hill. Mike was very responsive and pleasant to work with, we will be back!

We had the best stay at 2 dog lodge! We had our toddler and our friends had their dog and there were so many little details in this home that made all the difference. They had children’s utensils and dishes, which is something we completely forgot to bring so it was such a nice surprise. For dogs they had beds, bowls, dry off towels and poop scooper. We came during a winter storm and the road and driveway was plowed for us so we didn’t have to shovel our cars out the entire time. Highly recommend this cabin! Michael our host was very friendly and communicative throughout the whole process. Thank you Michael!

Our stay at the 2 dog lodge was wonderful. The cabin was very clean and very cozy. Easy to settle into and feel right at home. Communication from the owner/manager was great. He made sure to let us know how to reach him if a need either urgent or something to make us more comfortable was needed. The fenced yard on the property was much appreciated by our two pups. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful, great little walking loop up the road. Wonderful stay!

This is our second time staying at the two dog lodge. We enjoy this location and a fenced in area for the pups is key! The owner is reachable and very responsive. Appreciate him sharing his home with our family!

This place was perfect. Many amenities provided. Very comfortable beds. Kitchen well stocked, charging station for your devices. The owners have went above and beyond to provide what you need for a relaxing stay. The yard for the dogs was absolutely great. A very nice neighborhood and not too far to Arnold. Will definitely go back again.

The property was very well maintained and the home was super cozy and well stocked. Wood heat is the best heat and that woodstove worked like a CHARM on those freezing mornings! We stayed with our pup, Duchess, and it was such a huge relief to be in a house that was beyond just pet friendly, and was actually set up for dogs with food and water bowls, poop bags, and a fenced in yard. The owners were very communicative and helpful both before and during our stay. I managed to lock us out when taking the pup for a walk, and they gave quick and clear directions to get back in. They even checked in later to make sure we were all right! I honestly think this was the best VRBO experience I've had and we would gladly return in a heartbeat!

This place was great for so many reasons. First, Mike the owner was very communicative and provided us a lot of information about the house, which was awesome. The house was sparkling clean, which is hard for a place that allows dogs. It had everything we needed and so many thoughtful extras. The house was in a really nice neighborhood for walking the dogs and also close to Calaveras Big Tree Park. We would definitely some back. Thanks for being such a great host!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was very dog friendly. The gated front yard was key. Our family enjoyed hanging out, playing games and not having to worry about the pups wandering! Michael was friendly and attentive.. we hope to stay there again sometime!

Very nice and peaceful! The deck was our favorite spot, especially in the evenings. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen has cookware, utensils, dinnerware etc. Our host was super quick in getting back to us when we had a question. I would recommend 2 Dog Lodge.

This is a beautiful cabin that is perfect for travelers with dogs. The host, Michael, has taken great care to provide everything you could possibly need and felt like our home away from home. The kitchen is well-stocked and the cabin is very clean and super dog-friendly. Our dogs enjoyed the outside area where they had space to roam about, and loved the comfy dog beds. Michael, is very responsive to messages and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to return!
