We had a great stay! We lived and worked out of this home for 2 months. The House: It has great amenities. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. The water pressure was excellent. We never ran out of hot water, even after long post-hike showers. The outdoor space is fantastic, especially the fire pit and the koi pond. The washer and dryer are nice. The wifi is high speed and fairly reliable. It doesn’t reach the front bedroom or living room as well, so if you’re working remote choose the back bedrooms. The beds are very comfortable. There are extra pillows and blankets too. There is a lot of space in the home so everyone can spread out as needed! The location: Fantastic. It’s 45 min from Sequoia National Park entrance. It’s 30 minutes from the beautiful Lake Kaweah (highly recommend going to the Cobble Knoll in Three Rivers and hiking along it!!). Death Valley, Yosemite, North Big Sur are all within 3-5 hours. South Big Sur and the coast were 2! If you want to explore California (or the big sequoias), this is the place to be. The hosts: Excellent. Lisa and Elizabeth are very prompt. Any time we had a question or a request, they were there. We asked for more desk space and tables were dropped off. We needed the circuit breaker reset and someone was sent within the hour. Incredible service and kindness!! The koi: Great. Overall, we had an amazing time and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.

This is a fantastic home. It accommodated my large family well. My children are all married and my oldest daughter has three children all under the age of five. They were able to spread out in the garage apartment. This allowed them their own space and could put children to bed (or get up early) without us disturbing each other. My other married children each had their own rooms that allowed everyone the privacy they needed. The common spaces were large and spacious. This allowed us to spread out and not be on top of each other. Elizabeth was great at making sure we were comfortable and didn't need anything during our stay. This home has a beautiful back yard that made a wonderful place to share evenings together. We truly enjoyed our stay! We enjoyed being in a lovely, clean, and spacious home.
