Perfect Family Getaway

Our family of four loved every part of our stay! From pulling in and being greeted by the dogs, meeting Drake and Lainey, feeding Bill and Ted (the rams), exploring the property and playing games provided, our family kept saying how this was the perfect place for us. The house was clean and beds were super comfortable. We highly recommend this property for families.

From the Owner: "Thank you for the positive review. I completely understand your point about being made aware of the groundskeeper who lives on-site with his family.There's so much to include in our listing information that not all can be posted right at the top of the listing. We do state the following under "Additional Information". I can understand how it can be missed, because it's further down in the listing.Additionally, the groundskeeper and his family live on-site, in a separate home with a separate entrance, and share access to some of the outdoor amenities."I'm not sure why the water was turned off - they were probably doing irrigation maintenance - but I'm glad it was taken care of quickly. Thank you for that feedback."

Wonderful stay!

I stayed with my husband and toddler for two nights. Great communication with Natasha and Nathan throughout (very helpful directions to the house!). The house itself is lovely and super well-equipped! The only bathroom is upstairs, but that was not an issue for us. Very quiet neighborhood and the beds were comfortable!

Hopefully, it was clear to you and not a surprise when you arrived. Thanks again!"

Beautiful home base to Kings Canyon and Sequoia NP

Lovely home, spacious. Big kitchen, family room (which we did not use) and a relaxing deck. About 45-60 minutes to entrance of parks. Home is very remote. Bring your own groceries and do not expect any grocery stores or restaurants nearby. The property is beautiful and peaceful. Thank you

Very nice!

Very clean with cute decor. Comfortable bedding, ample clean linens and a well stocked kitchen. Only disadvantage was the remote location. They fully disclosed that in description but it was inconvenient to have to drive so far to get supplies when needed. Having the only bathroom on second floor was not ideal but ok. I would suggest adding at least 1/2 bath on lower level. The upper family room level was great! We enjoyed watching movies there. Overall, we had a good stay and felt the accommodations were nice and do recommend it for families.

My mom and I enjoyed the stay in this clean home. Loved the friendly dogs and enjoyed watching the variety of birds. Cabinets are labeled to help you find needed items and the use of a washer and dryer was handy. The only downfall was going up steps during the night to go to the bathroom; however, I took the opportunity to go out on the deck to check out the night sky. I could see the milky way

Sweet Place

The home is on a beautiful property and is very family friendly with a trampoline, play house, and toys. They are clear, but it is a good reminder, that the house is pretty remote. It’s quite far to get to a town, medical care (which we ended up needing), etc. It would be best to get groceries before you get anywhere near the home. The local farm stand was really great. We would recommend that. We also went to Cat Haven nearby which was really sweet and something to do. We also saw the national parks. Kings canyon is closer and a reminder that it’s colder on the mountain!

Super cute and convenient

This charming little place is the perfect low-cost getaway to see the national parks. The only bathroom is upstairs (and the beautiful steps are hard on the feet, so wear shoes), and the bathroom door has a gap, but if you travel with family and don’t have handicaps, it’s not a big concern. Other than that, they thought of everything from labeling the cabinets to providing a first aid kit. It was comfortable and a good experience. Ps. The gate doesn’t work so you need to open it by hand, despite the code.

Unique stay for families with kids.

We stayed here for 2.5 days, and the kids already asked to stay here again whenever we visit the area again. The host family is so kind and really went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable (Lainey baked us bread upon our arrival!). It snowed on our last day there, and they even shoveled a path around our car and to our front door. Their two super-friendly dogs were always there to greet us, and the other animals on the farm were fun to visit with. It's a spacious, gated property, so the kids were able to play outside and walk the grounds on their own. The house is stocked with books, a few games, toys, and drawing supplies. Most importantly, the house is CLEAN. Thank you, Drake and Lainey. We really enjoyed our stay.
