Tranquility Luxury Lodge w/ AC & Pool Access!
Welcome to Tranquility Luxury Lodge! Explore all that Calaveras County has to offer from your newly, extensively, remodeled rustic-chic lodge adorned with new, designer furnishings.
This unique cabin with its meticulous attention and stylish detail in every part of the house, sleeps to 6-8 people. Cozy up to one of 3 fireplaces in the home on chilly winter nights, enjoy a soak in the large sunken tub, or enjoy dining al fresco on the patio. Complimentary access to Local Pool and Big Trees State Park.
Visiting one of the many lakes near Tranquility Lodge is a must in the summer where you can swim, kayak and stand-up paddle board (available for rent in nearby Arnold).
Enjoy privileges at Big Trees Recreational Center (a private club you’ll have free access to) just 3 min away where you can swim in one of the 2 pools, play tennis, basketball, frisbee golf or bring the kids there to enjoy their fun playground, bocce, volleyball, horseshoes, shuffleboard and more!
The area offers so many year round activities …In the winter the snow capped trees tell you it’s time to get out the skis and head to Bear Valley Ski Resort (just 30 minutes up the hill) or to bring the kids sledding at a nearby snow park. Of course, many choose just to settle in at the cabin and enjoy the peace and tranquility found there. Relax in front of the huge custom stone fireplace while you're surrounded by windows that look out onto the forest or step outside and relax by the fire pit with a glass of wine after having a meal on the deck under the trees.
Fabulous living area with quality, comfortable furnishings, sit back and relax by the wood fireplace and take in the views! Designer kitchen with state of the art appliances and a gas range. Well stocked with the essentials to make your stay more enjoyable.
Two full bathrooms (shower in each), and a large stand alone tub in one. Relax and enjoy the view while being warmed by the fireplace. You’ll stay cozy by the fireplace in the primary bedroom or take on the fresh air on the private deck. The second bedroom also has access to the larger deck. The third bedroom is a loft with steep ladder access. Not suitable for for all ages.
A convenient fire pit for enjoying cooler evenings, ample deck space and outdoor dining, bbq, and outdoor lighting. Entertainment includes Smart TV, ping pong table, corn hole game, outdoor swing, board games, cards, books provided.

Quiet and tranquil as described yet near to parks and towns of gold country.
Comfortable and well maintained property with many extra features to bring the feel and warmth of home. We will definitely be back.
Beautifully remodeled and well appointed home. It was cozy, beautiful and relaxing with all the amenities needed to stay in and cook a family meal after a day on the slopes.
Our family of four had a wonderful stay. The hosts considered every type of guest. There were board games, high chairs, snow gear, and a fully stocked kitchen. The check in and check out process was easy. We hope to return later this year.

We so enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and well appointed home.
We had a wonderful time. The cabin was perfect for our cousins weekend getaway. We had everything we needed for a comfortable relaxing stay. The property manager was very responsive with any questions that we had. Thank you for sharing your lovely cabin with us.
The most amazing girlfriend’s getaway weekend. Not a single detail was missed in this home. The decor, amenities, location and superior host accessibility made our stay perfect. We all agreed that we will be booking again.
It was a comfortable and cozy stay. Everything was clean and nicely displayed.
Check in and out was easily accessible and the Rosen family where friendly and communicative. It was also nice they provided plenty of snow gear to utilize.
It also was a nice location, where nearest town and food was a 15 min drive away!
This home was perfect in all ways. We had three adults and a two year old. The cabin is beautiful, cozy, and has absolutely everything you need/want. In fact, we wanted to extend our stay, but it was already rented. Spotless, beautifully appointed. Loved it.
We so loved our time at your beautiful cabin. We loved how quiet and peaceful the area was and the amazing outdoor spaces. So grateful for the wonderful air conditioning since it was so hot. The bedrooms and bathrooms were so well done. We loved the living room and the great big windows. Thanks again for being a fantastic host.
We’ve been renting cabins in the Arnold area for nearly 20 years. This has been our best find yet!The cabin is absolutely perfect. The Christmas decor was a very pleasant surprise. Kids loved the bunk beds and the loft. There are plenty of games available, snow toys, and everything else you might need. The location is beautiful, the deck in the back gorgeous and the super tall swing was the cherry on top. We would love to come back.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Tranquility Lodge. Lovely amenities and fully equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze. The small details, a welcome package, accurate instructions and board games for the whole family really made our stay even that much more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back to stay!
We loved our stay at this property and really enjoyed our time here. It it lovely annd comfortable indoors and out and very well equipped. We loved the fire pit for morning coffee and evening time together and my college age boys loved the ping pong table too. The neighborhood was secluded and serene. Only bummer was that Big Trees State Park planned a controlled burn which made for a smoky day outdoors toward the end of our stay.
We all enjoyed our stay at Tranquility. The place was spotless, everything was updated very nicely, and the surroundings were peaceful and quiet.
The ONLY consideration for us not to go back with the Littles is the steep stairs up to the bunkbeds. IMO, the loft area is perfect for preteens/teens. Other than that, we highly recommend this cabin!!
We had a fantastic stay at Tranquility Lodge. Check in and check out were super easy, and the house is gorgeous and comfortable. You can tell that a lot of care was put into upgrading the house. There's still a very comfortable mountain vibe but also luxury touches throughout. Having a/c in the summer made sure we were comfortable at all times.
Our group of adults were in town for a nearby wedding but we could easily envision a winter getaway, too. We would absolutely book this place again.

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at this charming house. It was incredibly cozy and felt like a true home away from home. The house was exceptionally well-thought-out, with all the amenities you could possibly need, from a fully stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and plenty of cozy blankets. Everything was spotlessly clean, and we felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay. This house truly had everything we needed as a family to spend an amazing weekend. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

We were pleasantly surprised by how wonderful and lovely the lodge was; it definitely exceeded our expectations. It is tastefully decorated, modern, yet charming with a well-equiped kitchen. We especially loved spending time by the deck firepit enjoying a glass of wine and the peaceful surroundings. The beds were very comfortable, and the master bathroom was great. The lodge is centrally located with a 15-to-20-minute drive to Bear Valley Resort, or shopping in Arnold, and other attractions. We hope to return in the future and highly recommend this lodge.
I travel alot for work and this is by far the best equipped and organized home I’ve stayed in. It’s beautifully decorated and the kitchen has everything you need for a perfect stay. It’s also nice that every light switch is labeled. lol it takes the guesswork out figuring out what lights work with what switch. The only thing that was a surprise is that the twin beds only hold 150 pounds and were too short and small for my 6’ son and my 5’7” daughter barely made the cut. I felt bad for my kids that I didn’t know this information. The deck is amazing and we spent most meals outside. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay
Well Appointed Cabin with Family-Friendly Amenities
This cabin is as beautiful as it looks in the photos! Our family and our in-laws enjoyed our stay in the comfortable and luxurious accommodations. Kids aged 9 - 17 enjoyed the bunk room but had to be careful with the ladder up (as did us adults making sure everyone was going to sleep!).
Each room in the cabin was a joy to be in - pleasing to the eye and meeting every need. The kitchen had everything, which is so nice and rare in a rental. The deck was so pleasant to spend warm evenings on and the outdoor fire pit/table was a crowd-pleaser.
We appreciated and enjoyed all the amenities! The staff at the neighborhood pool made a point to remember our names. The kids (and adults) enjoyed innertube water polo, pickle ball, tennis, and movie night - it far exceeded expectations!
We will definitely be back!

The second we stepped into this beautiful cabin, we couldn’t stop smiling! You feel the coziness all around you. Every detail was thoughtful and so pleasing to the eye. It was spotless! The bedrooms were so comfortable and had a romantic feel about them. The bathrooms were very spacious and very custom. The master bath has a giant stand alone tub and a fireplace that heats up the room nicely. The kitchen had everything you would need and was fully custom. Plenty of space to bring your own groceries and cook on the beautiful gas stove. My favorite place was the family room, though! The fireplace makes a huge statement and the views from the room are gorgeous! Luckily we were there when it was cold enough to use the fireplace. We never wanted to leave that room! The owners were SO thoughtful, they even have a State Park Pass you can borrow. We used it for Calaveras Big Trees State Park. That is a must see! We went to Murphy’s twice and shopped around Arnold. This is a very charming area and where the cabin is located, it is so quiet and we took walks every day in that great smelling mountain air. I’d like to come back when it’s a little warmer so we could take advantage of the spacious deck and fire pit. And to top it all off, they leave you a gift to remember your stay! We can’t wait to go back!!

We enjoyed every moment of our stay in Dorrington at the Tranquility Luxury Lodge. We hiked in Big Trees, ate lunch at the Lube Room and ventured to the nearby Sourgrass Day Use Area in the late afternoon to explore the river. Our evenings were spent barbecuing and sitting around the fire pit enjoying the scenery. This was a relaxing and activity filled getaway!

Beautifully renovated and well stocked cabin. The kitchen was amazing, the beds were comfortable and the living room having doors so the adults could stay up and talk after the kids went to bed was ideal. The bathrooms were great and unlike many cabins even after 4 adults showered and the kids took baths the hot water still worked. It worked for us and the kids loved their loft, but the stairs were more ladder like than they had looked to me in photos, I would not recommend the loft for kids under 4 but for the elementary school age set it was “the coolest inside tree house ever!!”
