This is a beautiful property with a charming cottage. The space is full of interesting books and knick knacks. The outdoor space is beautiful and fairly private. It was just two of us, but I wouldn’t hesitate to bring children here. There are many games, ample space for everyone, and many birds to look at! Turkeys visited us daily, and many songbirds as well. One of my favorite stays ever!

Awesome cabin and perfect for sequoia and kings canyon

We loved the cabin. Everything about it was perfect and owners were great. If you’re worried about no AC, don’t be. The swamp cooler and open windows at night had us all sleeping like babies. We also loved the decor and then extremely well stocked kitchen. If we ever make it back to this area we will be here again!JD

Charming place very close to Kings Canyon / Sequoia National Parks

Quaint place a short (windy) drive to the Kings Canyon entrance. Lots of room. No dishwasher, but otherwise the kitchen had just about anything you would need including spices, condiments, etc. The host was quick to respond when we had any questions or issues. Be aware there are is a small step between the living area and the bedroom area along with a couple steps down to enter the bathroom. The host has small lights on the steps which was much appreciated when making our way around at night.

Cute cabin very near Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Perfect spot for getting to park destinations. Requires a little pre-planning to get groceries on way in. Hosts were great.

Cozy Relaxing Cabin

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy cabin. The location for visiting Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon is great. The owners were very relaxed and accommodating. My daughter enjoyed playing the piano on the front porch which was surprisingly well tuned for being outdoors. Well stocked house with board games and kitchen supplies. Enough space for our family of five. If you are uncomfortable on mountain roads, 245 is challenging. I would arrive via Dunlap or Dry Creek Road instead.

Immediately felt at home

The cabin was perfect for our family and bigger than I expected. It has a great location near the parks. But the thing I most appreciated was how much at home we felt. Unlike the sterile, minimalist design trends of today, it was like stepping into a cozy friend or relative's house. We were surrounded by a lifetime's worth of collectibles, art, and an ecclectic assortment of books. We also had an opportunity to meet the owner, which it usually not an option in the impersonal world of rentals these days. Five stars!

Fantastic Stay

Our family of 5 stayed as we toured the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks for 3 nights. The cabin is adorable! We loved it and the space it provided for all of us! It was super close to the park entrance, and that was a huge plus! Mahalia was a great host letting us know of any issues- such as a road closing and the wild fire that happened to happen the same time we were there. Great communication!

We stayed here while visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The cabin was in a perfect location for our visit and provided a comfortable and quiet retreat during our evenings. It's an older cabin but was very clean and cozy! We would absolutely stay here again.

Sequoia fires

We came to this property just as the fires closed Sequoia Nat. park. Smoke from the fire was heavy in the area and affected everything we did. Mahalia came to our rescue and brought air purifiers to the house and extra N95 masks. She also offered to cancel our reservation with a full refund. We decided to stay and were still able to visit Kings Canyon before it closed. It was a very charming house and a very gracious host.
