Welcome to our mountain getaway cottage! Barberry Cottage is located in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills. It is located only 32 mins/22 miles from Kings Canyon National Park where you can enjoy walking among the majestic giant sequoias of General Grant Grove, relaxing at Hume Lake, or adventuring in Boyden Cavern. The cottage is also a perfect location for a peaceful getaway where you can spend time simply relaxing amidst classic California scenery: oaks, pines, and the ever-changing skies.
Staying at Barberry you will also be close to Sequoia National Park with all that it has to offer- Moro Rock, the General Sherman Tree, the Giant Forest, Tunnel Log and Crystal Cave. Cat Haven, which provides a home for over 50 big cats from around the world, is close by.
The cottage, entirely renovated with hosting in mind, is beautifully decorated and a wonderful place to relax. There are very few light sources nearby and, combined with the altitude, it makes for outstanding stargazing.
Outside you can BBQ, sit by the firepit, and enjoy the view down the valley. Birdlife is abundant and red-tailed hawks will fly close by.
Inside you have a kitchen/dining/living area, bedroom with queen bed, bathroom (tub-shower and toilet) and laundry. Upstairs is a large loft, with view of the valley, containing one queen and 2 twin beds.
Gas, a limited supply of fresh food and basic groceries, and GREAT COFFEE are 10 minutes away. A bigger selection of groceries, and pizza, are 20 minutes away. There is a restaurant 15 mins away and another 25 minutes from the cottage.
