Get away from it all and find yourself tucked away amongst towering pine trees in this adorable lofted A-frame cabin! Even the most design-oriented guests will be spoiled in this getaway, as the wood stove creates a classic centerpiece for the main room and is backed by floor-to ceiling windows that allow an abundance of natural light to flood into the space. Fresh air won't be hard to come by, as a spacious deck awaits with a table set for four to enjoy morning cups of coffee or evening cocktails as the sun goes down. When you work up an appetite after a day of hiking nearby, the full kitchen with well stocked pantry is more than ready to assist in preparing tasty recipes with a full-size fridge, an electric stove/oven, and a microwave oven. Or if you'd like there is a gas grill available. Plus, the free WiFi and flatscreen TV will be perfect for entertaining. Though this home is perfectly secluded to give you some much needed privacy, you will have easy access to Highway 4, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, North Fork of Stanislaus River, Bear Valley Ski Resort, and several snow parks. It is walkable to The Lube Room Pub, and Camp Connell General Store. Arnold, Murphy's, and Avery are few miles downhill for groceries, restaurants, wineries, breweries, tasting rooms, and outdoor equipments stores.

WINTER Preparedness:

The cabin has a steep driveway, and can be slippery during the winter. We provide partial snow removal services for the driveway and make every attempt to have the driveway plowed prior to your stay.

It is highly recommended to have access to offline maps for directions in the event of power outages causing loss of internet connection. Snow shovels are provided and available by the entrance to the cabin for guests to access the front door and the deck safely. During snow season, street parking is not permitted. Doing so may put your vehicles at risk of being damaged by the snow plow or risks being towed. For up to date road/traffic conditions, pls refer to Cal Trans Website.

    Wonderfully secluded place to rest and relax. Perfect for two people. Close enough to drive to Mosquito Lake and Calaveras Big Trees.

    We fly in for a family wedding at Dorrington Hotel. The Chalet was comfy and very convenient location for all family get togethers. Murphys was great for shopping and enjoying the vineyards.

    We had a wonderful night away with the family at this cabin! The house was exactly as advertised—clean, cozy, and perfectly rustic. Communication was excellent, and it was easy to find, nestled among beautiful big trees. We grilled dinner, made pancakes in the morning, and spent time just sitting and listening to the sounds of nature. Our kids were in heaven—unplugged, exploring, and truly away from it all. It was also an easy drive to Bear Valley and Alpine Lake, where we had a couple of fun little adventures. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a peaceful escape in the woods. We’d absolutely come back!

    Our stay was perfect! Everything we needed was accessible! The cabin was just everything I could’ve imagined. It was our first time staying anywhere besides a hotel and I’m so glad we chose this cabin!! The view from the large windows was everything. It’s what sold me to choose there. I definitely am ready to go back!! Eunice was easy to reach for any questions I had! Definitely recommend!!

    It was so great to have a cozy place close to Bear Valley to turn a ski day into a ski weekend. The wood stove and efficient kitchen made staying warm and cooking meals easy and fun. Loved it.

    Chose this cabin because I love the classic, cozy A-frame style, and I wanted to be in between groceries (Arnold) and skiing (Bear Valley).The large front window, wood-burning stove, cozy blankets, clean and modern bathroom, and upstairs bedroom were the highlights. The kitchen is tiny and has few outlets but it was fine in the end for what we needed, and served its purpose. I just wouldn’t plan on making any complicated meals here.

    Cozy little cabin in a private spot but not too far away from people. Has all the necessary basics and more. We truly enjoyed the wood burning stove - it warms up the place in no time while adding to the atmosphere.

    The Sway Chalet was a perfect mountain getaway! The neighborhood was quiet as can be and the cabin was rustic, clean, well-stocked for cooking meals, and firewood was well stocked to enjoy fires in the livingroom with the fireplace/stove. WiFi was excellent and Apple TV was a nice touch for entertainment. The floor to ceiling windows looking out on the forest were awesome, and the deck outside of the windows was good sized with a nice table and chairs to enjoy meals at. Calaveras Big Trees State Park is 5 minutes away, so it was nice having that so close by to go on a hike. The host, Eunice was very responsive with any questions I had, and the cabin was very easy to find despite the GPS in my car not working. I will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you!

    The Cabin is easy to access, clean, comfortable and very well equipped. I cant think of one thing that we needed that wasn't there. The host was available and more than responsive. Really a pleasure to deal with. The cabin is super convenient to Groceries, High Speed Electric Car Charging, Calaveras Big Trees and the Stanislaus River. It is a great stay.
