About this property

Ponderosa Cabin ~ rustic comfort + WiFi by Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

The Ponderosa Cabin offers a rustic setting with vintage charm, along with modern amenities. After spending the day at nearby Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, enjoy cocktails on the spacious deck, a hot shower in the clawfoot tub, games by the fireplace (knockoff game of Twister anyone?). Or just read and relax in the main bedroom downstairs or upstairs bedroom. The Ponderosa Cabin has gorgeous interior walls of knotty pine. And yes, there's Internet--when you need it. You’ll find a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room in the cabin for up to 4 guests.

Our cabin, fondly named after the beautiful Ponderosa pine tree with golden bark, is nestled in a quiet setting. You may see wild turkeys up the hill in the morning or deer grazing at dusk at certain times of the year. At higher elevation in the National Parks you’ll find Ponderosa pines growing alongside giant Sequoias. It's a 20 minute drive to the entrance of Kings Canyon (Big Stump entrance) along Hwy 180. This is the best of all worlds: you have a gateway to the National Parks and a private setting in the woods. If you like the mountains, this is your retreat.

If there is snow at higher elevations in the winter or early spring, tire chains could be required in the National Parks and on Hwy 180. Kings Canyon National Park is at 6000+ ft. elevation; it may be clear at the cabin but you could encounter snow as you head up into higher elevations.

Please remember this is not a hotel. Access to parks is convenient but local roads are narrow. Note there's an unpaved road for a quarter mile leading to the cabin. There are no grocery stores or banks near the cabin, although there's a restaurant in walking distance. (Grant Grove Village in Kings Canyon NP is 30 minutes away by car, and there are gas stations, convenience stores and restaurants along Hwy 180.)

I believe that the Ponderosa Cabin will always have a place in my mind and my heart as the best country house I have ever visited. Isolated, surrounded by nature, roustique, original and vintage, gave me the feeling of visiting my grandparents house up in the mountains. Kids loved the attic and all of us enjoyed the board games that were available. The fireplace makes the whole experience even better! Moreover, the owner has been great with communication and resolved any question I had in time. The only negative thing is the network coverage in the area, depending which provider you have. However, there is efficient wifi in the cabin to stay connected ... if you wish! One more thing to add is that the location is perfect for those that plan a visit to Kings Canyon and Sequoian NP. Only 15-20 mins from the north entrance, the one closer to Kings Canyon. Last but not least the cost. I would say that for what it offers and compared to per night stays' values in the area, the price is fair enough.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is in a great location, less than 20 minutes from the entrance to Kings Canyon. There is no AT&T reception in the area, or even in the parks, so communication was very difficult for us. People in the area use Verizon. Li Lovett, the owner, was a REAL JOY to talk to, and very attentive to our needs. The cabin is rather hard to find. After you turn onto Todd Eymann Road from Highway 245, it is the first driveway on the left. The house number is beside a stump, and it can be difficult to see. There is a washer and dryer, but the dryer is outside under a tablecloth, and we didn't find it until the night before we left., The fuse box is also outside under the electric meter. The steps to the upstairs are very steep, and are almost like a ladder. You need to bring the food you will need, although there are small markets at the park visitor centers. Also, be sure you have enough gas in your car, because the nearest gas station is over half an hour away. All in all, we loved the cabin and the area!

Great rustic cabin in the woods
My husband, adult daughter and I stayed at the cabin for three nights. Great location about 20 minutes outside Kings Canyon and 5 minutes down the road from Pinehurst Saloon. ( Burgers were good!) The cabin is rustic but in good working order, some fun and quirky deco. We would recommend a stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Li Lovett

Host profile image
Twenty years ago, Li spent a summer at Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks working on a botany crew and discovered giant sequoias, the largest living things on the planet. As an outdoor enthusiast, she’s hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Virginia, did a pilgrimage (of sorts) with her husband on El Camino de Santiago, and roughed it in the deserts of California, Utah, and Arizona. But her favorite place is the mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevadas– the only place in the world where giant sequoias can be found on its western slopes.
