My two dogs and I had a very nice stay at this Hipcamp location. The hosts were responsive and helpful. The cabin is cozy, with a fully stocked kitchen, board games, DVDs, and a very useful binder with local information and things to do. The property is wooded and hilly, with paths cut through it, multiple seating and eating areas, and plenty of outdoor activities/games.. Nights were quiet (I did hear shooting practice down the road for a couple of hours one day). Overall, a relaxing and exceptionally well-set-up place to stay, particularly for a group..

Had a wonderful time at this site! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how open and spacious the property is. There’s so much room to spread out, relax, and really take in the natural beauty of the area. Whether you’re coming with family, a group of friends, or bringing your dogs along, this place has the perfect setup to make everyone feel at home and comfortable.
The cabin was clean, cozy, and incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed — you can really tell a lot of thought and care has gone into making it feel welcoming. The site also offers a great selection of games and activities, which kept both the kids and adults happily entertained for hours. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Steven and Michelle were so kind and super responsive to any questions or needs we had.
Looking forward to booking again in the future !

5 nights at Unplug for nature, dogs, and kids
We loved our time at the cabin. The trees provided a wonderful respite from the heat. We had deer drinking at the stream nearly every day. The thoughtful touches that Steven and Michelle have put into the both the cabin and the surrounding area made our vacation very special.

Everything about this place is amazing. Fully stocked with everything you could need, outdoor shower was my favorite part, quiet, tons of firewood, a platform to do yoga on, and the dogs could roam. 🩷 Blissfully way to disconnect.

Love it. They just added a new deck that is awesome for hanging or for tents. No signal, thank goodness.

Steven and Michelle’s place was exactly what we needed! We have a pretty spacious yurt we were looking to pitch and their property provided more than enough space. The dogs loved the grounds and with the games and activities throughout, we never got bored. In enjoying our downtime I wanted to take advantage of the outdoor cooking options and got a chance to smoke a chicken and grill a bunch(we enjoyed it so much, when we got home we promptly bought a smoker and a grill). Of course at night, we took advantage of the fire pit and the screen for projecting movies. This place was everything we’d hope for.

We had an amazing weekend at this cozy cabin! From the start, Robin was an incredible host, he provided detailed and thoughtful information about the cabin, which made everything so easy. The directions were clear, and check-in was seamless. The cabin itself was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It truly felt like a home away from home. Our dog had the time of his life exploring and lounging around … he probably enjoyed it more than we did! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-hosted getaway.

Michelle and Steven were so easy to communicate with and very responsive. We loved hearing the birds' songs in the morning light and falling asleep to the stars. We brought tents for outside sleeping as well. But the comfort of the bed in the cabin was much appreciated! There are so many games available and a great fire pit with seating. The outdoor shower is awesome! And the kitchen is more stocked than many rentals we've stayed in. I'd say that the cabin/property was just a bit closer to the road than I expected, but it didn't really bother us. And there are visible other houses/properties fairly close by. Again, was not an issue for us, but just wasn't expecting that. The property is peaceful and beautiful. Thanks for being so accommodating Michelle and Steven!

Michelle and Stephen have created a wonderful home away from home with their cabin and tent camping site. They paid extra attention to details that made the experience fun and we felt well taken care of! The communication with them was great too! Thanks for letting us stay!

Our 3 night stay with our two little boys couldn't have been better! We had almost everything we needed, and the things we didn't were already mentioned and came along with us. The boys found all the bugs and brought some extra dirt home with them. Absolutely would recommend for some country relaxation by the fire. Bring that mosquito spray though! 10/10.

This is our second time enjoying this beautiful forest spot. We enjoy the solitude for our small family, and their five acres could easy accommodate more. Fridge, stove, electricity, hot water, three types of grills most of the comforts of home, and far enough away to get no cell service!!!

Thank you Steve and Michelle for sharing your beautiful cabin for us this weekend. We enjoyed staying in this lovely cabin. Tree house, swing, zip line , hammock, out door shower.. so excellent. You guys have more cookware and serving wares than I have at our house. Our two dogs ( golden retriever and black lab) did not finish exploring. We will send our family and friends to this place and definitely come back.

3 nights at Dog Woods
This is a great cabin, private and hidden in the trees, and well appointed indoors. Minutes from Calaveras Big Trees and dining, other amenities in Arnold. The cabin is cozy, quirky and came supplied with everything one could need, including wood for the delightful woodburning stove. Have stayed twice, highly recommended.
