Sequoia Sanctuary•Hot Tub•Private Hilltop Escape
Perched on a quiet hilltop above the Kaweah River Valley, Sequoia Sanctuary is a private, peaceful retreat just 10 minutes from Sequoia National Park.

Designed for guests who value calm, comfort, and a truly clean space, this is where you come to reset between adventures.
Sequoia Sanctuary
A Private, Design-Forward Basecamp Near Sequoia National Park.
Perched above the Kaweah River Valley, this quiet hilltop retreat was created for travelers who value cleanliness, privacy, and thoughtful design.
It’s a place to reset between hikes, wake up to silence, and return to a space that feels intentionally maintained.
Best suited for quiet stays and guests who enjoy a calm, low-key environment
Designed for Multi-Day Exploration (3–4 Nights Recommended)
Many guests underestimate how much there is to see beyond the main entrance.
We provide:
A fully curated digital map with routes, hidden spots, and timing strategies
Suggested 3–4 day itineraries (Sequoia + Kings Canyon + Mineral King)
This makes Sequoia Sanctuary an ideal base for international travelers and planners who prefer structure without stress.
International Travelers
Many of our guests visit from abroad and use Sequoia Sanctuary as a base for exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon over several days.
We provide a fully curated digital map with routes, timing strategies, and key stops so you can navigate the park efficiently without guesswork.
A Note on Value
Sequoia Sanctuary is intentionally designed for guests who value a clean, private, and thoughtfully maintained space after long days exploring the park.
Rather than maximizing occupancy, we focus on providing a consistent, well-cared-for environment. Something many guests find makes a meaningful difference in how restorative their stay feels.
Hot Tub Access
Our hot tub is included with standard nightly rates ($299+).
For discounted/off-season stays below this rate, hot tub access is available as an optional amenity add-on ($149 per stay).
Because it requires time to clean, refill, heat, and balance between guests, we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you’d like it prepared.
Cleanliness Standard
This is a shoeless home.
We maintain a consistently clean, allergen-conscious environment using:
Professional cleaning + steam sanitation Mattress encasements and protected bedding Minimal clutter, no shared pantry items
If you’re used to removing shoes at home, you’ll feel very comfortable here.
Why Spring & Fall Are the Best Times to Visit
These are our favorite seasons!! And when experienced travelers tend to visit:
Spring
Waterfalls at peak flow Wildflowers + wildlife Ideal rafting conditions
If you prefer space, calm, and optimal conditions, these seasons consistently outperform summer.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area.
