We loved the size of the property and close to the entry. The home did not have any bed larger than a full. This was the only issue bit we made due and enjoyed the home!
I stayed with my family and friends and it was a blast. The house is inside the park and great views.
The house is pretty open in terms of layout. So great for spending time with family.

Very spacious with plenty of rooms for our 4. Recommend trying to arrive during daylight hours as the drive is very steep and a little tricky to see in the dark.

The over all stay was excellent and very nice! The hosts were very helpful and informative in the instructions and expectations, but one thing i would have wanted to have were curtains for the downstairs area, would have love to put a 5 star overall rating if it wasn’t for it.
The house was VERY clean and VERY comfortable as well as very spacious. We enjoyed our stay at this property and would have loved to stay longer. The scenery was breathtaking and the overall view was amazing! Everything is either in walking distance and or driving distance.
And again, I would have loved to have left a 5 Star overall review but it did lack privacy in the downstairs area.
Beautiful, rustic lodge - type property. This is the place to go to get away from it all. The Mountain views are incredible, as well as star gazing at night. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for our family of five including 3 teenagers. Plenty of space for all. The Pizza Factory and Sequoia Coffee Co. are must- do places to go, and driving up to Sequoia National Park is wonderful as you’re already inside the gate. My only recommendation would be to fix the big pit hike in the driveway just before pulling up to the house.
We found these accommodations to be just what we were looking for while staying in Sequoia. The kitchen and living area were modern and spacious with beautiful views. There was plenty of privacy. The host was friendly and easy to contact. Being inside the park was a plus as we stayed for a week and did not have to re-enter each day. It was convenient to a Visitor Center, hiking trails, points of interest, and also shopping in Three Rivers. So happy we found this place for our visit to another national park.
The location was wonderful, just within the park. The size was great for our family of five. It could easily hold more comfortably. The beds were all comfortable as was the rest of the furniture. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, etc. Three full bathrooms were great. The only shower heads could use updating, but we all were able to get clean. We all agreed that we would rent this house again.

Very nice comfortable home within the park!
We were very pleased with this location and amenities. Served as a comfortable home base for our hiking and fishing activities all week. Nice views right from the deck. House is very comfortable and has all the amenities you'd expect (laundry, nice kitchen, grill, good a/c, nice bathrooms, satellite tv that we didnt even turn on, wifi internet, etc). Note the park and Three Rivers does not have Verizon cell signal - AT&T only - so the wifi was an important link back home. House owner was very accessible and greeted us upon arrival. I have no hesitation booking another stay!
Our cabin was beautiful. The location is incredible. The views breathtaking! There are however a few things that need attention at the cabin. Hot water was inconsistent. That was a bit challenging. The kitchen could use a good cleaning and updating of the appliances and such. It’s an older cabin with some old charm but there’s definitely a need for some overall cleaning and upkeep. I know it’s a full time rental and it probably gets a lot of west and tear but I think upkeep is quite important.

Do not stay here!
Upon check in the cleaning service was still there. The house thermostat read 98 degrees! After the cleaning service left I found a dirty coffee maker, a dishwasher full of dishes and the kitchen floor not swept. Four hours later when I wanted to just sleep after a day of travel the house only cooled down to 91 degrees! I was unable to sleep under such circumstances. I was there for my daughters wedding and on the wedding day when we had to take showers there was no running water!!!! We had to shower at my daughters place. I was there for only three days and could not wait to leave! It was such a disappointment! There was no greeting, no instructions left. The hospitality on the owners part was terrible since it was nonexistent. Save yourself the money, frustration and disappointment and look for a different house.
First, the house is nice but the parking area is narrow and small, it would be hard for a big van to maneuver, its better to drive a mini suv or sedan. Second, utensils is not complete such as pans, spatulas, ladles. Bring a rice cooker if you eat rice. Third, I slept in one of the rooms that needs an upgrade for the mattress. I suggest, attic floor should have a wall to wall carpet just to minimize the sound of the footsteps. Lastly, roads from where we stayed, which is the Three rivers, is under construction en route to the main attractions. We were asked to drive 2 hours to the other side of the National Park which is the Kings Canyon for us to see all the main attractions. Overall, it was a very tiring trip but had a pleasant stay.
We just finished a really peaceful, relaxing week at Sequoia National Park. The house was a good base located just inside the park. The weather being unseasonably hot made the house a little warm in the afternoon thanks to the huge windows, but it was much more comfortable after the sun went down. It’s not a luxury property, but if you want a convenient location with lots of character, this is a great place.
Great house for our group of 5. As shown in the listing the upstairs has minimal privacy, but perfect for the kids - especially with the fire pole. The house is spacious, especially the kitchen. We were able to prepare a full Thanksgiving dinner without issue. But could have used a little more silverware.
A new front patio had just been poured prior to our arrival which was slightly inconvenient, but I was able to easily communicate with the owner to resolve any issues. In general there are several things that should be fixed - the microwave filter cover was missing, the sliding door in the kitchen is nearly impossible to open, there was caution tape on the front deck railing, etc.
But overall we loved the house. The views are amazing. The house is architecturally interesting. And the location is great. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who loves nature and doesn't require perfection.
This is a great location if you want to explore Sequoia NP. It’s actually just inside the park. The house was clean and well stocked. The only thing it was lacking was laundry soap, but there was a store close enough by to go grab some. We had four kids and they were all able to sleep in their own bed. There were two queen beds in the upstairs loft, along with two twin roll away beds. And two bedrooms with queen beds downstairs. I really appreciated that there were fans in each room. You could tell it was an older home, but it was cozy and met our needs.
