Bed bugs are not a sign of dirt. They ride in suitcases, sleeping bags and secondhand mattresses.
Long Barn is an unincorporated community at roughly 5,000 feet, about 4 miles northeast of Mi-Wuk Village off Highway 108. It grew from a wagon stop on the Sonora Pass route during the Gold Rush, where travelers rested at the long barn that gave the place its name, beside an apple orchard that still stands. The barn itself came down in the early 1970s.
The 2020 Census counted 162 residents in the CDP, with a median age of about 58, and only 78 of its 348 homes were lived in full time. ZIP 95335 follows the same pattern: about 410 residents and roughly 1,140 homes, about 900 of them held for seasonal or occasional use. Most of that housing went up in the 1950s and 1960s.
Lodge Rooms, Rentals and Cabins That Change Hands
Since the 1920s, the Long Barn Lodge has drawn visitors to its rooms, cabins and ice rink. Around it, family cabins and short stay rentals fill up for snow weekends and summer trips toward Pinecrest Lake, then close again. Every new group brings its own bags, and a few bugs left behind can wait for the next arrival.
- Hosts should strip and look over each mattress seam and headboard between bookings, not only when a guest complains.
- Skip roadside or yard sale furniture for the cabin unless you can inspect every joint and seam first.
Booking a Crew for a Cabin Above Sonora
No pest control company has an office in Long Barn. Our technicians drive up Highway 108 from the Sonora area to reach Long Barn, so the trip shapes the schedule and sometimes the price.
- In winter, storms can bring chain controls on Highway 108, so leave room for a date to slide.
- Describe the driveway, snow berms and parking before the visit, since our technicians haul heavy heat and steam gear.

Long Barn Bed Bug Questions
Does Long Barn have a town government?
No. Long Barn is an unincorporated census-designated place in Tuolumne County, so county offices handle local matters. The 2020 Census counted 162 people in the CDP. We take requests from any address in ZIP 95335, which also carries the Cold Springs mailing name.
We only come up to the cabin a few times a year. Can bed bugs last between our trips?
They can. Adult bed bugs are able to go weeks, and in a cool closed house sometimes months, between meals. If bites start soon after you open the place for the season, book an inspection instead of waiting to see if they fade.
Will snow on Highway 108 delay the inspection?
It can. Caltrans puts chain controls on Highway 108 during storms, and our crew coming up from the Sonora area may need to move the date. Choose a window with a day or two of slack, and we will check the forecast with you the night before.
How much does bed bug treatment cost for a Long Barn cabin?
Price depends on the size of the cabin, how many rooms have bugs and the method. Angi's 2026 US averages run about $200 to $400 for one room and roughly $1,500 to $6,200 for a whole home. Travel up the mountain can add a trip charge, so rely on the written quote.
Do the motel rooms and cabins at the Long Barn Lodge fall under the same rules?
Lodging guests should report bites to the front desk, which decides how its own rooms are inspected. Our service is for private cabin owners, hosts, landlords and renters who want our licensed technicians to look at their own place.
