Dog Woods Cabin

Great location/spacious- cluttered

First, I want to say the hosts were VERY nice and communicative. The cabin was a great size for our family of six and the loft was much more spacious than expected. The fire place worked great and we actually got a little hot a few times. The neighborhood was great and being able to walk to a hiking trail from the house was awesome. However, there was an issue with cleanliness/clutter. It’s obvious from the pictures that the cabin has a lot of decorative items. So much so that one entire place setting at the bar was usable. We were careful when moving items to make room but, every time something was moved, the amount of dust and dirt it kicked up was a problem. I tried to vacuum since we tracked in a little dirt, but when I pulled the vacuum out the canister was completely full. So I went to empty it and saw that the filter was caked in dust, so I cleaned that too. Then when I went to use the dishes, forks had food stuck in the tines and one of the spoons was incredibly sticky and the utensil holder was very dirty. Unfortunately, after all that, I spent the majority of the day cleaning all the dishes and counters for my family to use. Just a bit of bummer when you pay a cleaning fee and come to relax but can’t. I was also told there were spices we could use, however most of them were 5-15 years expired. Be aware, the hosts are clear about hauling out your own trash, but it’s about a 10min drive and not open all week so pay attention to the instructions.

FUNky hidden gem!

Our family loves Dog Woods Cabin! This was our second trip (the first was in the winter), and we’re already planning to go back. The cozy funky vibe is hard to beat. Great location, quiet and private, and we can bring our dog. We went to dinner at one of the clubhouses, spent an afternoon at White Pines Lake, and hiked to Top of the World. This cabin was the perfect homebase for our weekend recharge from the Bay Area. Highly recommend!

Dog Woods Cabin

We had an excellent time at Robin’s cabin over the weekend. It was fully equipped, the directions were clear, and the rooms were very comfortable. We loved the decorations and the beautiful trees on the property. Would absolutely return.

Dog Woods Cabin

Robin is an excellent host - clear directions on how to respect the space, more than accommodating to us while we were dealing with poor weather. Beautiful cabin, very private and tranquil. Highly recommend.
