Beautiful Private Cottage 3 miles from the Sequoia Park Entrance
Tucked into the lower east side of Salt Creek Canyon sits this beautiful hand-crafted 580 square foot guest house on nine acres. Originally built by owner as a writing and painting studio in the late 1980s, it has an open floor plan with a wood beam ceiling and pine plank flooring. All wood furniture is made by owner. The screened in porch opens onto two wooden decks that over look a series of cascading ponds and Salt Creek farther below. A separate driveway from Salt Creek Road (also known as Craig Ranch Road) with carport provides parking and privacy. Location makes it very easy to get to where you want to go, whether it is to the park, to town or to the end of south fork and lady bug trail. A half mile walk or bike ride further up Salt Creek Road gives you access to BLM (Bureau of Land Management—public lands) and Case Mountain for great hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as, Salt Creek waterfalls. (seasonally winter and spring) It is a park all unto itself.

We loved every minute- it's a truly magical place, exceptionally appointed, with every need anticipated, and thoughtful, artistic details at every turn. We will definitely be returning.
My husband and I stayed here for a few days while on our honeymoon. It was such a nice and relaxing stay. Martha was great in communicating with us and made sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this cottage!!!
Our stay was perfect. The cabin is beautiful with so many unique touches. Kitchen and bathroom are very generously stocked with anything you might need. Thank you so much!
We loved our stay! The owners definitely put in a great deal of time and energy in the furnishings, decor and amenities to make this cabin relaxing and enjoyable. We couldn’t have been more thrilled the second we walked in the door and felt inspired and welcomed.

Perfect place to stay! Wildlife and close to the park.
This cottage is so calming and relaxing, both inside and out on the property. It is immaculately clean and comfortable. It would be a great place to stay if you needed to get away and do nothing else. Martha is a really neat person to talk to and she and her husband are obviously blessed with creative talents. I would definitely recommend this as a wonderful getaway!

Beautiful, serene property just a couple of miles from Sequoia National Park. Perfect location for our relaxing vacation!!
The cottage is a tranquil, serene place to stay. It was clean, well-equipped with everything we needed, and featured thoughtful and homey touches throughout. We would definitely recommend staying here if you plan to explore sequoia national park - it’s just a quick drive away! 10/10.
We love quiet and off the beaten path places and this totally fit the bill. Very well appointed cottage in a beautiful setting. Also make sure to take time to explore the BLM land up the road!
Can’t say enough about the place! Windows all around. Beautiful screened porch. Lovely design and decor. Every last thing you could need has been anticipated. One of our absolute best!!!
The house ist best equiped , clean and verry comfortable and lovely decorated. The owner are very friendly and helpful! We enjoyed our stay in the peaceful surrounding very much.
Beautiful cottage, tastefully appointed. Tranquil location. We loved our stay here and couldn’t wait to get back to the cottage after hiking. Peaceful mornings with coffee on the deck in the company of hummingbirds.
My wife and I had an absolutely amazing stay here. The house is immaculate with craftsmanship and attention to detail everywhere you look. The property itself is incredible with several ponds right out your back deck and the sounds of the river just below in the background. Whether you're looking for a relaxing retreat in nature or a home base to explore Sequoia National Park this is the place to be!

Very cozy, stylish, and immaculately clean cottage with a beautiful fish pond outside. Near the entrance to Sequoia park. Hidden gem!
This finely crafted cottage is nestled anong intimate cascading water features. It is evident that it was designed with a keen eye for simple elegance. One of our favorites.
We absolutely loved this cottage and hated to leave. Excellent place, beautiful and peaceful. Close to Sequoia National. Kitchen well-equipped, very clean. Enjoyed screen-in porch and deck. Host communicated timely. Highly recommend to disconnect and get away with someone you love.
It’s hard to imagine a more perfect stay: a precious cottage built with craftsmanship and care; scenically nestled in a secluded pocket of nature; immaculately maintained; hospitably prepared with attention to literally every detail, and gleamingly cleaned. Visiting the Park was convenient and beautiful, but returning “home” to the cottage each evening was an equal delight. It was, indeed, a perfectly wonderful stay. It only rates 5 stars because “10” wasn’t an option. Thanks Martha and Rick.
