Other things you will LOVE:

Two Kayaks and life vests
Several sleds and snow shoes
EV charger available (Level 2 J1772 plug) - see fee below.

You may also park one car in the GARAGE

FAST WIFI (250+Mbps download speed)

Xfinity cable TV

Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ , HBOMax, ESPN+ INCLUDED

Lots of Board games and books (especially kids' books).

Whole House Generator to keep the lights on during power outages.

Note for LARGE GROUPS: We think our chalet is most comfortable for groups of 8 or fewer -- plenty of sleeping options and room to spread out. However, we can sleep up to 11, although it will be snug. Also, due to the extra wear and tear, especially on the septic and water usage, we charge an extra person fee for groups over 8 guests (automatically added to the quote).

You have access to the whole house and GARAGE.

We do not live locally but are available by phone, email, or through the app. Our wonderful cleaner is available on-location for immediate needs.

IMPORTANT: Separate 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 in order for the booking to take effect.

In addition, we require a separate security deposit credit card hold of $250, released within 5 days after check-out. Submission of the credit card is a requirement of Evergreen Dorrington Chalet, separate from any requirements of Airbnb.

TRASH REMOVAL FEE ($150):

Like many cabins in the area, we do not have regular trash pickup and we, therefore, require guests to dispose of their own trash either by taking it home or to the local dump on their way out of town.

If you choose to leave trash behind we will withhold a $150 trash removal fee from your security deposit or as a payment request through the booking platform. This fee is waived for bookings that check out on either Wednesdays or Thursdays or on days when the dump, is closed). There is a convenient free trash dump on your way out of town in Avery (more directions/instructions provided after booking).

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.

PET POLICY:

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!

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, Xfinity Mobile) tends to be the only provider that works. For this reason, we provide a *LANDLINE PHONE* available for your use.

Cabin and host are fantastic
The cabin was clean, comfortable, and has all the amenities you can expect, and way more. The back up generator provided uninterrupted power and worked flawlessly. The location is right where we wanted to be. Loved everything about it. Chelsea was proactive, letting us know about the power outage in the area (thanks to the generator, we didn’t even realize the power was out). She was very responsive to any questions, both before our trip, and during. The guide provided was very helpful. We will return!

Mountain retreat
What a wonderful house. Access was really easy for my mom who uses a walker and my dad who is 93. Everything from the driveway into the house and then the kitchen, dining room, family room, bedrooms and bathroom were all on level ground. Every possible amenity in the kitchen, day use passes for the state park and sno-park, bikes, kayaks and video games were all available. Plus all switches were labeled and there were nightlights so nobody stumbled in the dark. My sister used the 220V charger for her car. This time of year the roads, lakes and parks were empty and the locals seemed genuinely happy to have visitors. Awesome!

Great cabin for kids and adults
This is the second time our family stayed in this cabin. We love the game room above the garage. We just send the boys out there and us adults can enjoy the peace and quiet. There is so much for them to do out there: video games, a real PacMan stand alone video machine, air hocky, fuzball, TV with movies, etc. There is even a bathroom up there. The property has everything you would ever need to enjoy your stay. It was very clean when we arrived. Even though we did not need it for this stay, we do like the fact that it has air conditioning. We also like how environmentally friendly the cottage is. They supply bamboo toilet paper and paper towels and there is an EV charging station. Our family highly recommends this cabin for families.

About the host

Hosted by Chelsea Vaughn

Host profile image
I am Chelsea Vaughn, proud co-owner, with my husband Bobby, of Evergreen Dorrington Chalet and Cottage.
I am a Colorado native who loves to travel, hike, and spend quality time with family and friends. I love Dorrington because it gives me a taste of the Rockies, but is much closer to my Bay Area home! Welcoming guests to Evergreen Dorrington properties has been a joy.

Why they chose this property

Having traveled with our family to the Arnold area for several years we decided to make Dorrington our second home. We hoped to find a home that would give us 4-season fun and the benefit of that clean mountain air! Skiing, hiking, biking, and kayaking are what we love about the area, and now our dream has come true. We really like being part of the Arnold/Dorrington community and want to share our home with like-minded people.
