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, conversations by the cozy fireplace. 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 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. Stairs to the upstairs bedroom are narrow and steep. Access to parks is convenient but local roads are winding. 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.)

This Cabin truly is in the middle of the woods. I like that part. And the deck is wonderful. However, found the whole experience a bit spooky. There was very frequent communication. I appreciated the communication with Li but a bit too much communication from the property manager, because you didn’t feel like you were alone and perhaps like you were being watched. She also left a note asking for a cash tip. The communication was confusing. The cabin was very hard to find. The directions say to turn a sharp right but it’s really a left, for example. The deck was very dirty. The grill had food on it. The “stairs” to the bedroom are dark and treacherous. Broken glass on the side of the house. Non-working smoke detectors. We left a day early. If you’re sensitive to energy, this might not be the place for you.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Aug 2026
We're sorry to hear about your experience, and we take feedback seriously. The cleaner was subbing while our property manager was away, and that note was not appropriate. She was trying to accommodate your arrival several hours early, and she explained that's when she dropped the glass from the deck table. Our check-in time is 4pm, as posted and in the arrival text; we will need to be stricter so that our cleaners have more time. Note that our regular property manager is meticulous about cleaning. Lastly, we can check on smoke detectors, but your concerns about energy sensitivity are not something we have any control over.

So perfect if your vibe is getting away to a secluded cozy weekend!! a drive away from the parks and beautiful hikes, the cabinet itself is so woody and cozy, surrounded by woods and nature, we enjoyed cooking, lighting the fire and enjoying the peace and quiet.

We enjoyed our stay. We were fairly close to the national parks which was our priority. The host and manager were very responsive to our questions and/or concerns. One item of note-- you have to go into the main bedroom in order to use the bathroom.

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.
