About this property

Beautiful Private Cottage 3 miles from the Sequoia Park Entrance

Tucked into the lower east side of Salt Creek Canyon sits this beautiful hand-crafted 580 square foot guest house on nine acres. Originally built by owner as a writing and painting studio in the late 1980s, it has an open floor plan with a wood beam ceiling and pine plank flooring. All wood furniture is made by owner. The screened in porch opens onto two wooden decks that over look a series of cascading ponds and Salt Creek farther below. A separate driveway from Salt Creek Road (also known as Craig Ranch Road) with carport provides parking and privacy.
Location makes it very easy to get to where you want to go, whether it is to the park, to town or to the end of south fork and lady bug trail. A half mile walk or bike ride further up Salt Creek Road gives you access to BLM (Bureau of Land Management—public lands) and Case Mountain for great hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as, Salt Creek waterfalls. (seasonally winter and spring) It is a park all unto itself.

So Relaxing!

This cottage is so clean and serene. We watched 6 CA quail and listened to numerous birds while relaxing on the screened porch. We also saw a deer in the driveway. This was a perfect location for enjoying the nearby national parks.

perfect little hideaway

this property was beautiful and the hosts really go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you would need while staying. I will mention that I was bit by some type of bug in the bed at 2am it was a large black bug with pinchers and still have a red itchy mark. Also the water is sulfur water which I did not see mentioned but felt I should point out to future visitors.

This cottage was simply amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. Perfect for any couple looking for a quiet getaway. Location was great, just outside Sequoia National Park entrance. A grocery market and places to eat all nearby. The hosts Martha and Rick have thought of everything in preparing the cottage for a guest's stay-- coffee and basic foodstuffs stocked in the kitchen, a binder of local recommendations, towels, linens, wifi, recycling, everything. The cottage itself is incredible. Beautiful and comfortable interior, a wonderful screened-in deck and adjoining outdoor balcony with a serene view of the creek that flows through the back yard. The surrounding trees offer complete seclusion and privacy. My wife and I will absolutely stay here again.

Truly amazing! The cabin is so clean and well cared for and the location! Wow. After many days of travel to reach our oasis and then a full day right away the next day in SNF (on 9/30 not knowing at the time if the government would shut down and what that might mean for National Parks) the three days we had to rest, unwind, breathe the wonderful mountain air, listen and watch the many birds and animals that wander by….they were perfect. Even with some rain on our last full day it was still peaceful. Enjoyed many games of cribbage and most of our in house meals in the wonderful screened in porch. Martha and Rick have done a fabulous job making sure this cottage will be a perfect stay. Thanks for sharing with us. We only hope we can return one day
So relaxing! Just you and the Hummingbirds

Wow! We wish that we had a higher number to give it! We have traveled a lot, and we have stayed in a lot of spaces. This is the nicest experience that we have had so far, Everything was perfection from the homemade furniture to the koi pond. Every view from the back of the house overlooks nature. We felt like we were living in a tree house! The deer and hummingbirds kept us company. The only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend there,

The Loveliest Cottage!

This is just the most gorgeous home - we were so impressed with every detail from the beautiful wood furnishings, the art, the windows letting natural light into every corner, the candles, the screened-in porch to have coffee and watch the hummingbirds in the morning, and more. Martha and Rick have truly thought of every amenity you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. Martha is such a warm and lovely person and we appreciated her communication with us. We would love to return again, perhaps to experience a different season in this magical place!

Wonderful little paradise in serene setting

My husband and I stayed for four nights in this cute little cottage. It was perfect for us and I have to say the best VRBO we have stayed at. Martha and Rich’s attention to detail and communication, from driving directions to check in and out made everything so easy. Cottage so well appointed it was like living at home. Rich’s handmade wooden furniture is gorgeous and the plants, and orchids…just made you feel at one with nature. Greeted by deer and hummingbirds every morning in our private wooded sanctuary. Just a short drive to sequoia national park and three rivers downtown area. ( Brewery was great and little village store had excellent food.) Bonus hiking right down the road at BLM. They also had multiple books with hiking info for sequoia, kings canyon and Yosemite. Other books and DVDs. Highly recommend!

Perfect location! Great place, lots of amenities and tons of amazing local flora and fauna right on the property. We saw turkeys, bats, deer, bullfrogs, quail, hawks and more.

The Best Part of Our Trip

This cottage is so calming and relaxing, both inside and out on the property. It is immaculately clean and comfortable. It would be a great place to stay if you needed to get away and do nothing else. Martha is a really neat person to talk to and she and her husband are obviously blessed with creative talents. I would definitely recommend this as a wonderful getaway!
