Cozy cottage is sooo cozy

We stayed four nights, as the location was close to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. The hosts were so hospitable and the cottage was super cute and comfortable.

Adorable and Safe space

My friend and I stayed here all the way from the east coast. John and Tracy love hosting. The space they created is very private and we enjoyed the stories they shared, they had a fridge filled with groceries, brought us breakfast every morning, and gave us umbrellas when it was raining. The space was so clean and cozy. Loved the experience!

A great hidden mountain hideway with great hosts

Like a hidden gym this cottage is a great stay for visiting King Canyon or Sequoia or just enjoying the calm nature in the mountains. John is a great breakfest cook and we loved the talks and hints Traci and John provided to us for our daytrips to the National Parks. The big tube is a great plus for relaxing at evenings and the cottage is just perfect for two and really clean and in perfect shape. Also if you missed the grocery they will take care of you with a packed fridge ;-).

About the host

Hosted by John Welsh

We have lived near the entrance to Kings Canyon National Park for 20 years. Our life's experiences, as well as our work experience, have helped us to understand, and flourish in the Hospitality business. Our aim is to provide our guests with a wonderful experience, and provide a home that each and every guest will love, and call their own.

Why they chose this property

Our property is conveniently located on a paved county road. It is a single story, with very easy access. Other properties in the area are very old, dirt roads, and are in conditions not worthy of a stay (in our opinion). Our property boasts old growth oaks, pines, manzanita, and plenty of room to enjoy nature. In addition to our 15 acre property where we live and host, we also have a 100 acre cattle ranch which our guests have access to. There you will find a seasonal creek, along with miles of trails, views, and above all else, serenity with no other humans present (other than a caretaker).

What makes this property unique

Aside from our easy access, our cottage is decorated to be pleasing to the eye, and comfort for the soul. Our guests find the comfort so amazing that they almost always make themselves at home. Our Cottage is a single floor plan, where there are no stairs required, no animal barns with farm-like aromas, and personal attentiveness is provided by both of us, unlike other locations where the owners are not present to meet the needs of each and every guest. In addition to the above, we pride ourselves on cleanliness. Each and every linen, including comforters is washed prior to each guests arrival. Extra linens are provided as well. Lastly, our large yard, as well as a 1 acre pasture for your personal enjoyment is available to each and every guest.
