This place is awesome! The pictures don't do it justice, such a fun and fantastic place. Very very clean and beautiful in and out. Fun dirt road to get to the property.
This is an beautiful well-appointed studio cabin in a peaceful and scenic location. It's conveniently located to all the nature you could want. The historic Kennedy Meadows General Store, the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail), & Grumpy Bear's Bar & Grill are all a short drive away. You should plan to pack in most of your groceries as there are very limited options available in this off-grid area and both of the dining options I mentioned have spotty service hours/days.The cabin is very comfortable with so many thoughtful touches to make your stay special. Plenty of linens, lots of hot water, a comfy bed, wifi, flat screen TV, & more. Be aware that there is no A/C, but the temps do not require it here. The night time temps are more than sufficient to cool the cabin for sleep and it's so well insulated that the indoor temp barely changes during the day.A very pleasant surprise given this remote off-grid area. We will definitely look forward to returning.
