The cabin itself is much larger than the pictures give it credit for. Nice secluded location. A little further from the parks than I anticipated but it gave us a nice scenic drive.

My husband, dog and I loved our stay here! It was so peaceful and out in the middle of the wild, while still being close to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. We enjoyed the hot-tub, watching the sunset, and the good wifi connection to be able to watch college football. We would stay here again if we were back in the area.

Just what we needed for our national parks trip. Close to both Kings Canyon and Sequoia. The neighborhood was quiet and remote. The roads are narrow and windy but worth it to see those views. The place was as described and had a lot for you to do while resting after a day of hiking (hot tub, puzzles, games, telescope) . Sarinah communicated an issue with us promptly. Would recommend!

Loved the bird watching. Place is as advertised (remote). About 30 minutes on windy roads to Kings Canyon visitor center. Only requests would be more hand towels and stuff like ziplocks and Saran Wrap for packing food. Our stay was great.

Lovely Stay

Everything was expected, if not better. I honestly thought it would feel a lot more cramped with our family of 6. We were prepared for that. But when we got to the property after a long day of traveling and spending time at Kings Canyon National Park, we were exhausted and coming "home" was great! Checking in was so easy. The place was clean and we had room to unwind. The shower was great! That's not normally something I think about but truly the pressure and warm water felt amazing. Plus because we have a daughter in a wheelchair, it was so nice to stay in a place where we could shower her because there was a little seat in there. It was perfect and not something that usually happens for us. Our kids loved seeing all the wildlife around the property and we enjoyed the hot tub every night. Unfortunately, because we were there during fire season we couldn't use the fire pit but something I thought would be a major disappointment to. The kids turned out to not even matter because they enjoyed the property even without it. We played the games that were provided and every night we were able to cook a nice meal to fuel up for the next day. We would definitely stay here again.

Great secluded getaway

Exactly what we were looking for - nice quiet getaway with privacy and enough amenities to not have to leave. The property itself appears large, but very little accessibility. Hills are steep and there are no trails.

It’s quite & secluded. Well maintained property. It’s located close to Kings Canyon entrance. I would definitely stay here again. My only concern were the small holes in driveway near door entrance had yellow jackets coming out. A load of gravel would fix the problem.

Private and Peaceful

This property has everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The sunsets were absolutely beautiful and the outdoor area with the grill, fire pit and hot tub were great. I wish we would have had one more day/night to enjoy the property only. It’s a little out of the way to get to, but completely worth it. Owners’ communication was amazing as well. Great place to stay!

Great stay in a beautiful location

We stayed here with our 3 children with the plan to see Sequioa National Park. The location is on a winding road but the reward is isolation and great views and a place with all the amenities. We loved hiking all day and coming back to a hot tub and grill to enjoy the evening. evening. The evening.

This property was the best VRBO we’ve rented! The views, the amenities, the gracious host—all top notch. The road construction added some time and effort to get to parks, but even with that, we’d choose to stay here again in a heartbeat.

Everything you need for a great Parks visit

This property was perfect for our visits to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. From s’mores supplies to venom extraction kits, they thought of everything to make sure you had the best stay, both at the cabin and out in nature. And sitting in the hot tub after a long day of hiking, watching the stars come out, was the icing on the cake. Would absolutely stay again if we’re in the area and highly recommend to others.

This cabin is perfect for a couple and their dog. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen has everything, and the view is great. The stars are beautiful. We would recommend using Dunlap Road to access the cabin, avoiding Millwood Rd.

What a view.

This place is special. The view from everywhere is spectacular. The home is well stocked and tidy with modern furnishings. We loved our stay here. Couple things to note, the drive up is on a 1.5 lane road with switch backs. Its a little intense but well worth the effort. Be familiar with what poison oak looks like. Easy to avoid as long as you know what too look for. Additionally, the main road to kings canyon was closed during our stay. Detour added about a half hour to our drive. Property was so lovely we took a break from the drive and spent a day puzzling, enjoying the hot tube, playing games, and wondering at the view.

More than we bargained for

I booked this for my family so we could visit Sequoia. It takes about 45 mins to get to the park. There is a great bar/restaurant close by (Pinehurst Lodge). While on the property we saw a red newt and some frogs. We saw wild turkeys driving to the park. The jacuzzi was very nice. Started out cool but heated up for the next night. It was very clean with tons of extras-lots of snacks, tea, coffee that my kids loved. We had a fire the first 2 nights but couldn’t have one the next night due to snow. Bring wood. We had a really great experience.

Great little hideaway

We wanted a spot that was away from it all and we got just what we wanted. The property has a very well appointed single wide pre-fab home that isn't much to look at on the outside, but looks and feels great on the inside. There is a full kitchen with most every tool you may need, lots of spices and many condiments, large fridge, and a dishwasher. There are 2 smart TV's, books, games, and art supplies for entertainment. There is also a washer and dryer as well as a bunch of nice extra things one might want at a place like this (dog bowl and bed, inflatable mattress, high chair and pack and play, etc.). The only problem I had inside the home was a lack of water pressure in the shower, but it was enough to get the job done. The home is at the very top of a ridgeline with views to both sides (albeit some power lines somewhat interfere with the view to the east). There are other properties around, but they are sufficiently far away. The outside area is long and narrow, and there is a pretty steep slope to the west that I wouldn't trust really small kids around (mine were ok at 5 and 9). The hot tub and the fire pit were a big hit with the children. We chose this area to hit up King's Canyon to play in the snow (mid March). This place had an annual pass we could use to get in, and there is a relatively direct (but winding) paved path to the park. We were able to sled and play in the snow just a few miles into the park. We had a great stay! Absolutely gorgeous this time of year.
