Welcome to Rocky Point at Squaw Valley! A unique octagonal home recently renovated and situated right in the middle of Central California's beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills, just 1 hour East of Fresno, CA. Perched high on the top of a ridge, we offer some of the most stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the San Joaquin Valley. If you are looking for a great get-a-way for relaxation or adventure we are the place for you.
Activities nearby: Summer and Winter activities in Kings Canyon National Park, Sequoia National Park, and Sequoia National Forest - webcams at: https://www.nps.gov/seki/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm -- not to miss in the parks the General Grant and General Sherman Trees, Grizzly Falls, Roaring River Falls, Boyden Cave (currently closed while undergoing repairs), Crystal Caverns, Moro Rock, horseback riding, Buck Rock Fire Lookout, and plenty of exciting day-hikes; fabulous fishing at Hume Lake, White Water Rafting along the Kings River with Kings River Expeditions, Avocado Lake, and Pine Flat Lake; and 15 minutes to our local Project Survival Cat Haven (don't miss this), Fresno Field Archers, and US Forest Service Delilah Fire Lookout (manned summer months only).
Eating Close by: Bear Mountain Pizza (great pizza), Gina's Sierra Inn, and about 30 min back down the hill is the School House Restaurant & Tavern (well worth the drive and live music on the weekends).
Our property is also located within minutes of 2 local Wineries - Sierra Peaks Winery and Riffelhof Vineyards. Sierra Peaks is open 12 - 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, June through September. Riffelhof Vineyards is open on weekends and by appointment on other days. A little bit further back down the hill are several wineries - Cedar View Winery, Kings River Winery, Maréchal Vineyards and others.
We have 3 nicely stocked convenience stores and 2 gas stations (one with diesel) along with a Dollar General close by for anything you might have forgotten.
Please be aware that this is a NON-Smoking property and due to the high fire danger there are no open flames allowed from April 1 to Nov 1.
There are 3 security cameras outside covering the cul-de-sac, driveway, and back of the garage.
Please note that the bathroom shower handles need a firm tug out to turn the water on. Once water is on, then twist the handle for desired water temperature.
We do accept up to 2 Pets at our property but there is an additional cleaning fee of $50 per stay.
If you are planning on bringing pets (which are welcome), please keep them on a leash at all times as we are out in the country - we don't want anyone losing their friends. Do not leave pets tied up outside. Please DO NOT allow your pets on the bed, as their paws will stain the bedding. If you cannot stop your pets from coming onto the beds, please bring your own king-size blanket as a safety cover. DO NOT leave pets unattended either outside or inside. Pets can get nervous when left alone in a new space and chew on things.
