ParticipantOur family also has been coming up for many years. I had some local friends that worked in the restaurant while in their late teens. They had some great stories of paranormal activity at the hotel and dining room.

ParticipantWe have had Magic Jack for about 3 years. The down side to that is when your internet is out, so is your phone. However, for $29 a year, I can deal with that.
Also, my iPhone using Verizon works there as well.
Anyone using Direct TV?Dacmill
ParticipantThanks for the input- I tried to look at Comcast options online, though our address wasn’t in their system. I’ll have to call and see what they can tell me. I may just cancel our landline- though I know I’d lose connectivity in power failures. Including taxes and fees, the bill is $42 a month for what on average is just a few calls a month. I’ll see what the bundled comcast fees are, including VOIP, and figure it out.

ParticipantYes,
The ghost of Rebecca Dorrington. I knew of this tale over 40 years ago when, as a kid, coming up to the cabin and playing/hanging out with the local kids who told me the story.

ParticipantA friend ran across this site on The Dorrington Hotel does anyone remember reading or hearing about these so called findings? Was is it something the past owners put out there to drum up business? I have been coming up here since I was 4 years old and I never heard this before. Here is the link.

ParticipantWe have the ATT landwire at our Arnold cabin and added Comcast internet last Spring. We get a steady 25mbps download speed. If you switch to the Comcast phone, it needs electricity to run, so you’ll be down on both during a power outage. For television we run a $50 Roku with an Amazon subscription and have plenty of entertainment options for a long weekend up there.

ParticipantWe were in the same position. We were too far from the DSL hub. Comcast internet is $30/mo for 12 months. Rarely used the phone and the price kept increasing. It went from under $10/mo in 2005 to $29/mo in 2014 for 1-2 calls a month. We got a microcell and replaced the land line as it was not worth the price. Full timers might want a land line but we didn’t need it. Full timers might like generators and the like but less important to part timers who can go home if worse comes to worst. Dial up internet is available but is pretty slow!!

KeymasterI would suggest keeping and ATT landline. Comcast goes out far more often and for far longer than ATT during winter storms when you may need the phone the most.

ParticipantFor years we’ve deliberately kept our place on Iroquois an internet-free zone. Recently though, the hassles of needing to leave to check email and work online are outweighing the benefits of being unplugged.
Our landline is with ATT and, surprisingly, they don’t offer DSL at our address- though we have friends nearby who have coverage. It seems like Comcast is the other option- any advice or suggestions on adding this, or bundling our landline in a combined package?
thanks- david

ParticipantThe Calaveras Chronicle had an article on new businesses opening in Arnold. I believe it said that Emile Mogannam, owner of the Rusty Knife Shop next to SNAC, had purchased it and was opening a restaurant in the ‘bar and grill’ style of a century ago. Overheard someone at Sarafina’s saying it would be closed for a year to fix up.
Article also said the Lube Room was reopening and the Dorrington Hotel along with saloon was sale pending.

ParticipantThat’s hilarious!!
I heard it was going to be a fully clothed restaurant.jandm
ParticipantFound another posting on Michael Oliveira’s FB page. It looks like this is a rumor? The new owner is planning on opening up a restaurant/lounge?

ParticipantJust found a posting on Merita Callaway’s FB page after googling this question. Someone asked this question and supposedly it is a rumor. Who knows. So many businesses gone; buildings vacant. Hope it is a rumor.

ParticipantWhat exactly would be a *Gentleman’s Bar* here in Arnold?
