The Dorrington Hotel

I'm sitting here, reflecting back on my daughters. Wonderful wedding at the Dorrington Hotel. The staff has no peer, they are just amazing. The hotel is so quaint, and we had nine families able to stay the weekend there while others found plenty of nearby accommodations. The food, the amenities, the atmosphere, and the flexibility of what they offer Made for a dream wedding at a price that is affordable to every day Americans. We will be going there for my daughters one year anniversary party for sure. It sure doesn't hurt that. They have an attached bar and grill for more casual, fun, for instance, our wedding party dinner the night before, it is so grating to see and meet people who really go out of their way to take care of you. An 1880's hotel venue? Historic wedding!

We had the pleasure of holding our wedding at The Dorrington Hotel (September 10th, 2022). We cannot say enough great things about this venue! The food, rooms, overall look/feel, etc.; however, most importantly, the amazing team that gets you through your special day. We thank everyone, but most of all, Lori - you were the rock to making our day so special! Definitely reccommend this for a wedding, birthday, friends-getaway and the list goes on.

Had a wonderful stay in their single cottage located behind the hotel. It's a rather large studio suitable for a single person or a couple, with a small kitchen, tv, a lovely porch to sit on, chairs outside perfect for star gazing, and the most amazing jetted bathtub. It was heaven! Tami was absolutely wonderful and always made herself available if I needed anything. Though I didn't need a thing. Everything was absolutely perfect. It was a short walk over to the Lube Room Saloon where they have some amazing bar food available for dine in or take out. I ordered take out several times and made some wonderful meals in the kitchen. 30 min drive up to the lake and also found some amazing secluded swimming spots on the river. Lots of hiking around the area and a short drive to big trees state park. All in all it was an amazing stay and I will be back!

By far the most magical wedding venue I have ever been too. The landscape itself is such a beautiful backdrop. The whole weekend was so much fun having the bridal party stay at the hotel that has been maintained so perfectly keeping its charm but with modern amenities, and then right next door is the Luberoom which is a 10/10 spot in itself. Great food, friendly locals, and an all around great time. I will definitely make a trip back to stay at the Dorrington again!

The Dorrington Hotel was the perfect venue for our annual family-friend Escape Adventure to the mountains. Rustic charm with all the comforts of home. The rooms were clean, beds comfy and simply decorated. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals with an added bonus of the Lube Room next door for when you didn't want to cook and/or needed a cold beverage. We enjoyed the short drives to Bear Valley, Big Trees, exploring the back roads and the Stanislaus River. Lots of adventure to explore in the area or just kick back and enjoy the ambiance and comfort of the Hotel. Staff was most accommodating, friendly and you got a good sense they truly enjoy what they do. Highly recommend.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary at the Dorrington Hotel, and it was PERFECT! The guest rooms are sparkling clean and beautifully decorated, the food served at our party was delicious and the personal attention of the staff made us feel like family. We renewed our vows in a quaint building that had been decorated as a chapel and it couldn't have been nicer.If you want a truly special venue for a family reunion or any other gathering of family and friends, you can't find a better location than the Dorrington Hotel. Thank you to Tami, Leslie and the whole staff for a wonderful experience!

Great place for our family trip to the snow. The hotel is really a private residence with six bedrooms. (Five in the main hotel and one in a separate unit right outside the back door) The decor is not fancy, but very nice, clean and fits the feel of the area in the mountains. All bedrooms have queen beds. The living area is spacious and worked perfect for our extended family and kids. There is one large dining table that will fit 10-12, a small dining table that will fit 4-6, two barstools at the kitchen counter, two sofas and misc chairs around a large TV. With so many family members in our group, all of the different areas gave us lots of room to spread out. There is a large deck out the back door that leads to a huge backyard. We had lots of fun making a sled run, having snow ball fights and playing with the kids. The service was fantastic, both at the hotel and next door at the Lube Room. Leslie helped us out and made sure everything was perfect. My daughter forgot her pillow and they sent it back to us no charge. The Dorrington Hotel exceeded our expectations. We will be back!

I love the Dorrington Hotel! It was built in the 1800's by a man named John Gardner and his wife Rebecca. There are many different legends surrounding the death of Rebecca. They range from being killed by Indians to being killed in a stage coach accident. It is said that Rebecca's ghost haunts the hotel to this day. The rooms are furnished and decorated in Victorian style. Very charming. There is also a restaurant downstairs which is very good. They make a really yummy spinach salad which is one of my favorites. If you are a history buff and/or like a good ghost story, then the Dorrington Hotel is worth a visit. Say hi to Rebecca!

My favorite place to stay! The staff is amazing and so helpful in planning events. I have had a New Years party here and been to one of the most beautiful weddings. I highly recommend having an event here! So much charm.

I went to a wedding on the property a few weeks back, and we all stayed at the hotel and it was an unforgettable weekend. The venue overall was straight out of a fairytale. The hotel was a quaint, charming and filled with history of the original Dorrington settlers, but with modern amenities. The service was great and everyone was very attentive. The lot where the ceremony took place was jaw-dropping. There's something special being surrounded by 100 foot redwoods with mountains in the backdrop - it is a very special place! Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway or even an event such as wedding. Especially since there's the local bar next door, The Lube Room, with excellent beers and burgers!
