The property is as described, so no issue there unless I were handicapped or overweight, I’d never get into the bathroom. The rooms are cute and unique but the walls are thin and the roadway is close so it’s rather noisy. We’d stay again because if its quaintness, but I’ll bring earplugs 😁

Nos quedamos en el chalet al lado del arroyo, aunque en el momento no tenía agua es hermoso el área. La habitación es un camper decorado en su interior como cabaña. Nos gustó la experiencia ya que buscamos una cabaña para estar una noche de camino a visitar el Sequioas National Park, y este fue una opción económica y accesible. Por la temporada el restaurante estaba cerrado, pero pudimos ir a una pizzería y a Coffee shop como a 9min. Todo estaba limpio, nos tenían harina de café lo que es un buen recibimiento. Cuando llegamos nos recibieron con mucha amabilidad. El área alrededor y los paisajes bellísimos.

Very convenient property if you are on your way to visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National park. Rooms are small but cozy. Mattress could be better as it is a little more spongy. The TV in the room was a smart one and since we had a small kid, it was useful after the long day.

Great place to stay close to Kings Canyon NP

Lisa was extremely helpful in getting us settled into our cabin. She even helped us with our bags when we arrived and when we left. It is a rustic cabin with a separate bathroom and shower, as stated in the description. The bathroom was very close to our cabin, just a few steps away.
