Stanislaus National Forest Cottages

Calaveras Big Trees CA State Park protects 2 groves of giant sequoia trees that are 300 ft tall with 25 foot diameter trunks. The giant trees were discovered in 1852. The location first gained notoriety from a sequoia called the Discovery Tree that was cut down in 1853 and 24 foot diameter sections were shipped and exhibited in San Francisco, Cape Horn, and New York City. It was originally 363 feet tall, but now is only a 3' platform base where it originally stood.

The posted picture was our hike through the South Grove area (a 3 mile hike with scattered Giant Trees). The colors and spring undergrowth of the forest was so green and vibrant. The beauty was unexpected and we plan to return in the Autumn when the undergrowth is changing colors.

Top Stanislaus National Forest Hotel Reviews

Yosemite Westgate Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Space was great, staff was friendly, room was clean, best part: close to YNP. "

LAZY BEAR CABIN! Sleeps 10-12, wheelchair accessible, great Highway 4 location.

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was great - such a pretty spot surrounded by the forest! Nick also was great - very communicative and helpful. Everything worked as advertised, the beds were comfortable and Nick and his cleaning service were accommodating and helpful in facilitating us stopping back by after checkout to grab a jacket we had forgotten/left hanging on a hook behind the front door. Thank you Nick!"

Timberline Lodge - Arnold - Bear Valley

10/10 Excellent

"It was like sleeping in a forest cabin. The outside was a bit deceiving but once we met the hosts and saw our room, we were pleasantly surprised. The exterior is in need of a little fresh paint but very comfortable with a family friendly stove heater with soft fire (very warm and adjustable). The bedding was so soft, lofty, and fresh. Just a few miles from Big Trees State Park and downtown Murphy’s (both a must see). "

Double Decker Cabin Retreat – Peaceful Getaway in Arnold

10/10 Excellent

"Post were excellent communicators very nice house was beautiful. Plenty of wood to last us during the trip no issues at all very clean. I love it. It’s stocked with coffee, coffee maker air fryer. And a few seasonings tinfoil. Very happy for a trip and I love how the bedroom downstairs have bunkbeds and a main bed with a little gaming system. It was just perfect for the kids to be downstairs while the adults were upstairs enjoying the fireplace. The barbecue pit outside was very clean and easy to use as well 10 out of 10 recommend "
