My husband, dog and I loved our stay here! It was so peaceful and out in the middle of the wild, while still being close to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. We enjoyed the hot-tub, watching the sunset, and the good wifi connection to be able to watch college football. We would stay here again if we were back in the area.
The cabin itself is much larger than the pictures give it credit for. Nice secluded location. A little further from the parks than I anticipated but it gave us a nice scenic drive.
Cute little place with amazing views! Driving around Badger is quite the adventure on all of the winding roads, but it’s totally worth it. We loved the comfy beds, hot tub, and large selection of games and activities.
Amazing property and views. Having a dip in the jacuzzi after a long day of hiking was the cherry on top. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Will 100% be coming back!
This property was really good to stay for our stay! Had everything we needed for our stay and was able to see the host put a lot of effort and thought into this place for the guests!
Very cute house that has great views. The hot tub and fire pit were great ways to spend the evening after a day at the national parks. A great mountain experience.
Loved the bird watching. Place is as advertised (remote). About 30 minutes on windy roads to Kings Canyon visitor center. Only requests would be more hand towels and stuff like ziplocks and Saran Wrap for packing food. Our stay was great.
Just what we needed for our national parks trip. Close to both Kings Canyon and Sequoia. The neighborhood was quiet and remote. The roads are narrow and windy but worth it to see those views. The place was as described and had a lot for you to do while resting after a day of hiking (hot tub, puzzles, games, telescope) . Sarinah communicated an issue with us promptly. Would recommend!
We really enjoyed staying here! It was well stocked and pretty scenic drive to sequoia and not to far at all! Between the hot tub and outdoor seating fire pit and bbq we love being outdoors and appreciated these amenities!

Disliked: Listing accuracy
good, hot tub with great views, but question the listing for 6 guests. Only 2 rooms, one queen bed. An inflatable mattress only fits in kitchen/living room, small and uncomfortable pull out sofa was for 2 more ...

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the sleeping arrangements did not fully meet your expectations. We are currently looking into upgrading our sofa bed to make things more comfortable for future guests. The queen bedroom is quite spacious, so the air mattress can also be set up there if preferred, or beside the couch by moving the chair. We do our best to provide clear photos of each room so guests know what to expect before arrival. We’re glad you enjoyed the hot tub and the beautiful views, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
Perfect spot to stay after calling for a week! We enjoyed all the location had to offer. There were prescribed burns in the area but still a beautiful property

Thanks! You were a great guest and always welcome to return :). winter is pretty beatutiful
This property was the best VRBO we’ve rented! The views, the amenities, the gracious host—all top notch. The road construction added some time and effort to get to parks, but even with that, we’d choose to stay here again in a heartbeat.
The property is remote and charming, exactly as described in the listing. Our host was fantastic. She communicated promptly and accurately. And she went the extra mile to help solve an issue that arose with Vrbo. Thanks Sarinah!!

I can't say enough positive things about this cottage! The host was incredibly responsive and you can tell a lot of details were put in place to make every person feel right at home. The views are immaculate from the property and a comfortable drive to the national parks. I would book again in a heartbeat if ever in the area!
Exactly what we were looking for - nice quiet getaway with privacy and enough amenities to not have to leave. The property itself appears large, but very little accessibility. Hills are steep and there are no trails.
This cabin is perfect for a couple and their dog. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen has everything, and the view is great. The stars are beautiful. We would recommend using Dunlap Road to access the cabin, avoiding Millwood Rd.
