Cozy, natural and well equipped! Our first impression as we pull up in to the parking space was “WOW”!! The views of the valley and sunset from the property itself are a treat! The accommodation was perfect for a family of 5 (grandparents and kids included) along with our dogs. All rooms were well equipped and the walkin closet is more than enough to store and change clothes! It does give you a country feel! The resident quails and bunnies will occasionally greet you and will scamper as they hear you walk out the door!We really enjoyed sipping the complimentary bottle of red wine!

Clean property and gracious hosts

Overall the property was very clean and the hosts were great and very accommodating. Kitchenware was very dated and many items could not be used due to poor quality. Drive to Sequoia was at least 1.5 hours.

Peggy, our host, is awesome and very responsive. We had instructions ahead of time and were able to find and enter our location smoothly. A few quirks, since the location is remote and surrounded by darkness, is that our kids were a little freaked out that one of the bedrooms has a connected dark storage room, separated by a drape, which scared them at night. A door would be preferable. Also, since the location is remote, people should be ready for ants, spiders, and rodents. Otherwise the beds were comfortable, and we used the kitchen to make food.

As any normal person I was skeptical that it was going to be as pictured but I was not disappointed. Everything was amazing and beautiful! The area is great and the distance to get out into nature and reconnect was within reach here. I felt safe with my three small kids and didn't feel embarrassed with their rowdiness because it was just our family enjoying the sun and nature during the day and being bathed in stars at night. Thank you to the host, Peggy for her great hospitality and supplying all the things needed for a great stay. Pet friendly!!

Cozy and quiet retreat close to Sequoia NP

Easy check-in, property is secluded but also a quick drive away from Sequoia NP which made it a great place to relax after spending the day exploring the park. Photos are accurate and property is clean, beds are comfortable, and has a spacious common area. Appreciated the complimentary wine upon arrival - will be sure to reserve a tasting next time!

National Park Adventure

This property was a great spot for our visit to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. From the location we could explore each park and relax in comfort in the evenings. The space was great for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) with room and beds to spare. Check-in and check-out was also seamless.

King's Canyon Getaway

If you are looking for a vacation home close to King's Canyon that is not located within the park, this is a great option. About a 20 minute drive back and forth and the experience of staying more remote than rooms in the park. Bear Mountain pizza was awesome!

Nice and quant home. She really took the time to add lots of nice helpful touches from labeling cabinets to tips for staying in the countryside like storing food in the fridge during ant season. The kids loved the trundle bed. The home is loved and the area was so peaceful! Bring a telescope as it’s perfect for stargazing out there :)

Rodent-infested - stay elsewhere!

The house has a festering rodent infestation that negatively impacted our trip. We found fresh mouse droppings (pictured) throughout the house upon arriving for our stay and each morning after waking up, and a mouse ran into the bathroom from under the sink one evening while I was using the toilet. The house is generally dingy otherwise, and perhaps this could be understood given the relatively remote location, but the blatant rodent problem moves the house into the category of disgusting and unsafe.One of the bedroom doors also does not close all the way (pictured at its most closed position). This resulted in increased anxiety regarding the rodent problem for the guest who stayed in this room, since there was no way to fully shut the door and attempt to prevent rodent access to the room from the house common areas.Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Up a mountain in Dunlap

Wildlife abounded, coyotes, rabbits, a rattlesnake, quail, and many other birds. The house was in a great location, up a mountain with views of Fresno. We visited Kings Canyon, Sequoia, Yosemite, and the Pacific Ocean. The host kindly let us check in early and offered to help direct our route back to the airport if the roads were still closed due to the Lightning Complex Fire that happened during our stay.

We felt taken care of

The property was clean, and very well-stocked for our stay and for meals prepared there. We also felt well-taken-care-of, both en route to their property - when we needed to dodge a wildfire en route from San Diego, and also during our stay with Peggy's kind check-ins and tour advice. Arrive before sunset (the drive up is a bit winding/hilly but very pretty and peaceful for the soul!) and bring your groceries, and you'll be set for exploring beautiful Sequoia NP. Thanks, Peggy and team!!

California roadtrip with pets :)

This was the first stay of our California vacation, and we truly enjoyed it. We arrived late at night, but the check-in was simple and smooth. Our host was very communicative and sent clear directions beforehand. We used the home as a base for our visits to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, which worked out great for us. The home was clean and neat. It included all that we needed for cooking meals together. We enjoyed the ample space of the home and the outdoor setting. It was very comfortable for us and our two furry friends. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!
