My wife and I stayed one night at the Cozy Cottage and really enjoyed it. It was exactly what we were expecting and hoping for - a charming place with a lot of character. John personally greeted us when we arrived, and we had a great time chatting with him. He brought us breakfast in the morning, and we got to meet Tracey as well before we left. My wife made really appreciated how clean everything was. We will definitely stay here again if/when we get the chance.

We were extremely pleased with the cozy cottage. There was such a personal touch that made us feel completely welcomed and very comfortable. So much detail was noticed. I feel the hosts, Traci & John, put a lot of effort into pleasing their guests. We really enjoyed the late night ice-cream dessert to celebrate our anniversary. The fridge and freezer offered some select stocked food items for our pleasure a nominal cost. Also, our breakfast was kindly appreciated before checking out. I highly recommend the Cozy Cottage!

It was an amazing stay at the cozy cottage! Traci and John greeted my wife and I, as well as our dog, and showed us around even though we checked in at 8pm. The tub was a great experience after going through the sequoia national park. Would love to come back for more nights!

An awesome home base for my exploration of Sequoia and Kings Canyon!

The whole cottage was comfortable and cozy, and that bathtub after a long day of hiking was amazing. The hosts made sure I had a hot breakfast every morning, and I was visited by wild turkeys and a friendly rooster. I would absolutely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by John Welsh

Host profile image
We have lived near the entrance to Kings Canyon National Park for 20 years. Our life's experiences, as well as our work experience, have helped us to understand, and flourish in the Hospitality business. Our aim is to provide our guests with a wonderful experience, and provide a home that each and every guest will love, and call their own.

Why they chose this property

Our property is conveniently located on a paved county road. It is a single story, with very easy access. Other properties in the area are very old, dirt roads, and are in conditions not worthy of a stay (in our opinion). Our property boasts old growth oaks, pines, manzanita, and plenty of room to enjoy nature. In addition to our 15 acre property where we live and host, we also have a 100 acre cattle ranch which our guests have access to. There you will find a seasonal creek, along with miles of trails, views, and above all else, serenity with no other humans present (other than a caretaker).

What makes this property unique

Aside from our easy access, our cottage is decorated to be pleasing to the eye, and comfort for the soul. Our guests find the comfort so amazing that they almost always make themselves at home. Our Cottage is a single floor plan, where there are no stairs required, no animal barns with farm-like aromas, and personal attentiveness is provided by both of us, unlike other locations where the owners are not present to meet the needs of each and every guest. In addition to the above, we pride ourselves on cleanliness. Each and every linen, including comforters is washed prior to each guests arrival. Extra linens are provided as well. Lastly, our large yard, as well as a 1 acre pasture for your personal enjoyment is available to each and every guest.
