Cozy cabin, convenient location

We had a comfortable stay at the Cozy Cub. The cabin is indeed cozy with good entertainment games. Convenient location to many good attractions. Our host, Liz, was very responsive and very accommodating to our request.

We had a fantastic girls weekend to rest, catch up and play. The cabin is well stocked of everything you could need or want and then some! We loved the proximity to Calaveras State Park, several lakes, and the use of the community pool for the 3- year old. We loved it and would definitely recommend it!

Truly 5 stars

We loved our stay at the Cozy Cabin. It was very comfortable and clean and a wonderful getaway. All the details were thought of in the most hospitable way. It was snowing when we got there and we had no problems parking or getting to the cabin. The wood stove was a wonderful treat for us too! We definitely would recommend to even the pickiest of friends.

Truly a Cozy Golden Find

If you want a real rustic and peaceful cabin experience, this is the place! It was an amazing experience and overall incredibly comfy. It had everything you could dream of in a cabin which brings a huge sigh of relief, especially to those who are extra-packers and paranoid about leaving anything behind. I would definitely book this again for any time of the year.

We loved our stay at the Cozy Cub! Keyless entry was super convenient for late check-in. The host responded promptly to messages. The fire pit table on the deck was great for roasting marshmallows with a beautiful view of the stars. It was awesome that they allow fur babies. The bed was comfortable, the TV was large and well positioned for viewing. I appreciated that the sofas were leather…. no need to worry about accidentally spilling wine and the wood burning stove made it extra cozy. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely peaceful location and cabin

My wife and I, along with our two teenage kids plus 2 small dogs, loved our 3 nights at the Cozy Cub Cabin. The parking is super close to the cabin, level, and immediately accessible from the road. Easy access to the local grocery store and restaurants, and only 10 miles along Hwy 4 to the lovely town of Murphys.The property is very well maintained and equipped, and was perfect for a school break family getaway. The owner reached out to ensure we had the information needed to access the property, and the checkout process was straightforward. We'd love to return at a future date.

Comfortable, Cozy stay

I spent a night with my family in the Cozy Cub and it was good. We’d had a fun but busy week leading up to our stay and my daughters very much enjoyed relaxing in the upstairs bedroom with a Disney movie (DVD player, TV, and movies were all included in the property). My wife and I enjoyed the pool table and fireplace, and we did s’mores on the outside firepit. We also did laundry while on site. Our travel plans called for us to move on after just one night but we all noted that it could be nice to stay in the Cozy Cub for longer.– came away feeling refreshed / recovered.

"Cozy" is the perfect word for it

We had a lovely, if too brief, stay at the Cozy Cub. All six of us (two couples and two older kids) were more than comfortable, and the kids loved having the upper loft to themselves. The billiards table was a special treat. The kitchen had everything we needed (and more) to prepare meals, and the back deck was a perfect morning coffee/conversation spot for the grownups while the kids played upstairs. The location is perfect... about 10 minutes from Calaveras Big Trees and just up the road from Murphys and Arnold. And the host was great--one of our party left something at the cabin, and the host went above and beyond trying to help us retrieve it. I hope we can return soon!
