A little piece of paradise, on top of a mountain, just below the snow line but perched above anything else. Enjoy quiet nights in the hotub under the stars, a bonfire, bbq with friends, family, and pets with a fully stocked kitchen. Snack on fresh walnuts growing all around, and pick some fresh bay leaves or rosemary to use for dinner. Let the dogs run wild or indoor and games provided. Seqoia National Park is 30 min away and Lake Hume is about an hour way. Have fun!

Very cute house that has great views. The hot tub and fire pit were great ways to spend the evening after a day at the national parks. A great mountain experience.

Fantastic Harrier Hawks

Loved the bird watching. Place is as advertised (remote). About 30 minutes on windy roads to Kings Canyon visitor center. Only requests would be more hand towels and stuff like ziplocks and Saran Wrap for packing food. Our stay was great.

Perfect experience

Like a perfect destination hike, the road to this cabin makes you work for it, but it won't disappoint. Fully stocked, clean, and comfortable, the view was simply outstanding. The bed was soft, so nice after a full day. The owner is sweet, thoughtful, considerate, and prompt and hasn't forgotten anything. She left the perfect amount of personal touches to make it feel like home. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This place was amazing! The owner has left nothing out - has thought of everything you might need for your stay. The kitchen is fully stock with dishes, pots and pans- and not the thrift store items. The appliances have been updated. I didn’t use the jacuzzi but I did look at it and the temperature felt right and it was spotless. My only negative is it takes about an hour to get to Sequoia park. Also of note for those that get car sick- the roads have a lot of twists and turns, which was not a drawback for me. I would definitely recommend a stay here. Also, my dogs loved being outside and exploring.

Lovely Stay

Everything was expected, if not better. I honestly thought it would feel a lot more cramped with our family of 6. We were prepared for that. But when we got to the property after a long day of traveling and spending time at Kings Canyon National Park, we were exhausted and coming "home" was great! Checking in was so easy. The place was clean and we had room to unwind. The shower was great! That's not normally something I think about but truly the pressure and warm water felt amazing. Plus because we have a daughter in a wheelchair, it was so nice to stay in a place where we could shower her because there was a little seat in there. It was perfect and not something that usually happens for us. Our kids loved seeing all the wildlife around the property and we enjoyed the hot tub every night. Unfortunately, because we were there during fire season we couldn't use the fire pit but something I thought would be a major disappointment to. The kids turned out to not even matter because they enjoyed the property even without it. We played the games that were provided and every night we were able to cook a nice meal to fuel up for the next day. We would definitely stay here again.

Great secluded getaway

Exactly what we were looking for - nice quiet getaway with privacy and enough amenities to not have to leave. The property itself appears large, but very little accessibility. Hills are steep and there are no trails.

It’s quite & secluded. Well maintained property. It’s located close to Kings Canyon entrance. I would definitely stay here again. My only concern were the small holes in driveway near door entrance had yellow jackets coming out. A load of gravel would fix the problem.

Private and Peaceful

This property has everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The sunsets were absolutely beautiful and the outdoor area with the grill, fire pit and hot tub were great. I wish we would have had one more day/night to enjoy the property only. It’s a little out of the way to get to, but completely worth it. Owners’ communication was amazing as well. Great place to stay!

Great stay in a beautiful location

We stayed here with our 3 children with the plan to see Sequioa National Park. The location is on a winding road but the reward is isolation and great views and a place with all the amenities. We loved hiking all day and coming back to a hot tub and grill to enjoy the evening. evening. The evening.

This property was the best VRBO we’ve rented! The views, the amenities, the gracious host—all top notch. The road construction added some time and effort to get to parks, but even with that, we’d choose to stay here again in a heartbeat.

Everything you need for a great Parks visit

This property was perfect for our visits to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. From s’mores supplies to venom extraction kits, they thought of everything to make sure you had the best stay, both at the cabin and out in nature. And sitting in the hot tub after a long day of hiking, watching the stars come out, was the icing on the cake. Would absolutely stay again if we’re in the area and highly recommend to others.
