About this property

Farmhouse Stay with Pond near Sequoias

Come enjoy the original farmhouse, located at the entrance to our 8 acre oasis in the quaint town of Exeter, Ca. Our property includes the farmhouse, the main house (where the owners live), a barn and a beautiful one acre pond. Enjoy anniversaries, friend trips and family time away from the city. Birdwatchers, bring your binoculars.


If you decide to leave the tranquility of our pond, you can spend time antique shopping in Exeter, Lake Kaweah, Three Rivers, Sequoia or Kings Canyon National Park.


The farmhouse, built in 1967 has 2 bedrooms, an office which can be used as a 3rd bedroom and two bathrooms. You will have privacy with your own front and back yards, parking spaces, gas fire pit, horseshoe pit, etc. The house has an updated kitchen with everything you will need to enjoy your stay.

In addition to the farmhouse’s front and back yards, guests have access to our one acre pond. Feel free to use our kayak or pedal boat where you will see fish and turtles amongst the beautiful willow and oak trees. Make sure you take time to enjoy your morning coffee by the pond and relax in one of the hammocks after exploring the nearby Sequoia National Park. We have prepared the center of our U shaped pond for our guests to enjoy. There you will find a hammock, picnic tables and a tree chair; so bring a book or picnic basket for a relaxing afternoon by the pond.

Guests can also enjoy our dock for spectacular sunsets. Please let us know in advance if it's a special occasion. You can also make arrangements to use the barn which includes ping pong, bumper pool, corn hole and other games.

We live on the property and would love to meet our guests when we are available. At the same time, we know that sometimes our guests just want to come enjoy our farmhouse and pond without interacting with other people. Feel free to message us with any questions. We have lived in the area a long time and have a lot of tips of things to do, places to eat, etc.

There is no swimming or diving allowed in the pond. Most of the pond is shallow and full of life. Guests are required to sign a waiver in order to access the pond and boats. CHILDREN MUST BE SUPERVISED AT ALL TIMES!

No parties are allowed. Quiet hours will be enforced between 9pm and 8am to respect our next door neighbors.

Our property is bordered by other working farms, so there may be agricultural based activity and noises while you are here. We are surrounded by walnut, mandarin, kiwi and plum orchards. You will also be able to enjoy visiting with our neighbor's cattle; but please don't feed them.

Next to our barn, you will find various fruit trees. Feel free to sample the seasonal fruit on these trees, remembering to leave some for future guests and the owners.

Our property is in the country. There are bugs, wildlife, farm smells and dirt! We have a professional pest service but.. this is the country. You may see squirrels, frogs, lizards, foxes in addition to the many birds that enjoy our property.

Our property is 5 minutes from the city of Exeter. We are located in the country, surrounded by fruit and nut orchards, cattle and horses. We also have some pretty great neighbors.

Exeter is a cute little town with murals, a few cafes, shops and antique stores! Our favorite restaurants include: Monet's, Wildflower Cafe, Cafe Lafayette, Exeter Whistle Stop for Breakfast, Alejandras Mexican, VIP Pizza, Bellcraft Brew Co. and Frosty King for milkshakes.

In between Exeter and Visalia is a small town called Farmersville. Stop there for some of the cheapest gas around.

15-20 minutes away is the city of Visalia. We love their Main Street downtown area. Fugazzis, Elderwood and Pita Kabob are our favorite restaurants there. Visalia also has Costco, Walmart, Target, movie theaters, mall, etc.

20 minutes from our property you will find Lake Kaweah where you will see ski boats, houseboats, jet skiis and camping.

Three Rivers is a fun town to drive to for lunch or dinner. Some of our favorite restaurants along the river include: Pizza Factory, Quesadilla Gorilla, Sierra Subs and Salads, Ol Buckaroo, Three Rivers Yogurt, River View Restaurant and Lounge (live music), and of course Reimers Candies and Gifts (ice cream). We also enjoy hiking on the Skyline Trail or sticking our feet in the water at Slick Rock (although the parking lot can get pretty crowded on weekends and hot summer days).

Sequoia National Park is one of our favorite places to cool off from the valley heat. Moro Rock Trail is one of our favorite hikes ending in a climb up Moro Rock and some of the best views around. It's a beautiful but winding road and actually takes an hour and a half from our property. Near Moro Rock, you will also find the General Sherman Tree and the Lodgepole visitors center.

Grants Grove, Hume Lake, Cedar Grove are also some of the places we visit regularly in Kings Canyon. The drive to Cedar Grove is long but worth it. At the end of the road you will find a loop with river access. There are places to swim, jump off a large rock and just relax. Crystal Caves is also on the way to Cedar Grove.
Hume Lake has a private camp but is also open to the public. You can rent small boats, stand up paddle boards, etc. They have a small restaurant near the lake with milkshakes, burgers, etc.

We have parking in the front of the house, in the garage and on the side of the house. We can even arrange for boat or RV parking if you let us know ahead of time. We are a 5 minute drive away from Savemart (grocery store) and downtown Exeter.

Great family place
Owners are very nice. Farmhouse was Spotless and extremely welcoming. Everything we were hoping for, farmhouse provided. Perfect place for three generations of family under one roof. Room for the kids to play in the yard, adventure at the pond and comfy patio and couches for times of rest. We loved our stay and are already planning our next trip back.

Girl's trip weekend
All I can say is "wow!" This property was the perfect spot for our girl's trip weekend. The views were incredible. We felt isolated from the whole world, while still having the luxury of being close to town. The house is exactly as pictured, like exactly! It was decorated to perfection. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you'd need to cook delicious meals. One of the best VRBO houses I've ever stayed at. The owners were kind and available, while also giving us the space we needed. A definite must for anyone looking to relax and get away.

Incredible Host & Hospitality!
This sparkling & stylish farmhouse was great, with absolutely incredible hospitality! Layout of the house and the wonderful furnishings made it a relaxing place to retreat to after busy days. Even special requests were fulfilled quickly and readily. The house is a short drive to gorgeous hiking in Sequoia Natl Park. We will definitely be back!

We have always loved the outdoors! In our free time we enjoy hiking in the nearby mountains, spending time at the beach and traveling to other countries. After stumbling on this property in the beginning of 2021, we decided that we didn't want to just travel to beautiful places, we wanted to live on a property which would regularly take our breath away.
