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.

Great Views and Near Sequioa and Kings Canyon

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.

Fantastic Harrier Hawks

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!

Perfect experience

Like a perfect destination hike, the road to this cabin makes you work for it, but it won't disappoint. Fully stocked, clean, and comfortable, the view was simply outstanding. The bed was soft, so nice after a full day. The owner is sweet, thoughtful, considerate, and prompt and hasn't forgotten anything. She left the perfect amount of personal touches to make it feel like home. I would recommend this place to anyone.

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.

Lovely Stay

Everything was expected, if not better. I honestly thought it would feel a lot more cramped with our family of 6. We were prepared for that. But when we got to the property after a long day of traveling and spending time at Kings Canyon National Park, we were exhausted and coming "home" was great! Checking in was so easy. The place was clean and we had room to unwind. The shower was great! That's not normally something I think about but truly the pressure and warm water felt amazing. Plus because we have a daughter in a wheelchair, it was so nice to stay in a place where we could shower her because there was a little seat in there. It was perfect and not something that usually happens for us. Our kids loved seeing all the wildlife around the property and we enjoyed the hot tub every night. Unfortunately, because we were there during fire season we couldn't use the fire pit but something I thought would be a major disappointment to. The kids turned out to not even matter because they enjoyed the property even without it. We played the games that were provided and every night we were able to cook a nice meal to fuel up for the next day. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

Great secluded getaway

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.

It’s quite & secluded. Well maintained property. It’s located close to Kings Canyon entrance. I would definitely stay here again. My only concern were the small holes in driveway near door entrance had yellow jackets coming out. A load of gravel would fix the problem.

Private and Peaceful

This property has everything you need for a relaxing and peaceful stay. The sunsets were absolutely beautiful and the outdoor area with the grill, fire pit and hot tub were great. I wish we would have had one more day/night to enjoy the property only. It’s a little out of the way to get to, but completely worth it. Owners’ communication was amazing as well. Great place to stay!

Great stay in a beautiful location

We stayed here with our 3 children with the plan to see Sequioa National Park. The location is on a winding road but the reward is isolation and great views and a place with all the amenities. We loved hiking all day and coming back to a hot tub and grill to enjoy the evening. evening. The evening.

Absolutely Perfect!

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.
