About this property

Secluded log home on horse ranch in Sequoia National Forest

Escape to the forest and enjoy 3 bedrooms. 2 bath mountain log home on 54 ac. horse ranch. At 4900' elevation in the Sequoia National Forest & Monument. Note this is not Seqouia National Park which is 2 hours away.
The home sleeps 6 guests MAX. (1 queen bed, 1 full size bed, 2 twin beds). Front porch & back deck with views of forest & stars! With 2 bathrooms including a jetted bathtub, this fantastic house is perfect for a family getaway.

This is not a party place, and no loud or unruly activities will be allowed. We live nearby and we will cancel your stay, and you will leave if you violate house rules or engage in any activity that could cause damage or hazards.

Enjoy the convenience of amenities like a washing machine, heating, AC, and WIFI. Relax in the gorgeous living space after a day of exploring. Posey is a post Office serving a rural area in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of Tulare County. The closest town is the small town of Glennville 11 miles from rental. Glennville is a small ranch town with 3 cafes, 2 with bars and 2 small grocery stores. No gas or charging stations so do not leave the last full-service town without filling up.
if you want to get away from it all. You have 54 acres of ranch, open space and forest around you, instead of being in a subdivision surrounded by other cabins and people. The rental house was our parents' home on our horse ranch. We live on the ranch about a ¼ mile apart from the rental. Our ranch and the surrounding Sequoia National Forest are a relaxed place to get away from crowds and in tune with nature on the trails on the ranch and the surrounding National Forest. Relax and enjoy the great views, watching wildlife and the horses or stargaze from the from the large front porch or the back deck. If you have not seen the night sky away from the city, you will be amazed. All summer & winter mountain sports can be enjoyed. Hiking, horse riding on ranch & surrounding Forest Service Trails. Dirt bikes and E-bikes on designated Forest Service trails only. Then again you may just want to cozy up to the fireplace with a book.

We provide an information book on area sites and activities. There is a small stream, Poso Creek, you can explore on National Forest public land very close to the ranch with a road and trails from the ranch to it. Fish in the Poso creek are small natives that take skill to catch. There are other streams in the area you can fish, the ones that are planted with fish are about 45 minutes away or the Kern River an hour away. There are forest service trails and roads in the area. There are two historic lookouts about 30 minutes away and Giant Seqouia groves such as those along the Trail of 100 Giants about 40 miles or 1 hour away.
In the spring and summer white water rafting can be booked in Kernville on the Kern River about 36 miles (1 hour) away along with boating and fishing in lake Isabella.

In winter, if there is enough snow, you can x-country ski, snow mobile, snowshoe. While we do not get snow real often, we do get snow several times between Oct and May. Sometimes about 3 feet. You must be prepared to use 4x4 or chains in winter as snows can happen suddenly. The roads are not plowed at night and only once about midday. When there is over a foot 4X4 and chains are needed if you need to leave before they plow. So, check weather often. The driveway is up hill to leave so if it snows you usually need to park at the top by the county road. The closest downhill ski area is Shirley Meadows, about 30 minutes away, but they do not have enough snow to be open all winter. The closest ski area opened most of the winter is China Pk. about 2 hours away.

Pets or horses maybe ok with addition fees after you contact us for permission. Kennel & panel corral available. Small dogs are welcome with a pet fee. You are responsible for any cleanup or damage and if you rent that means you agree to pay for any costs related to pets. But be advised that dogs must be controlled at all times. We hate to see any pet injured so for their safety you need to know that running lose can cause them to by injured or worse by wild animals that attack dogs and by ranchers. CA Law says a rancher may shoot a dog that chases or harasses livestock. There is lots of livestock in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick

Host profile image
I was raised here worked logging and on ranches as a teen. Then went to work for the US Forest Service in Fire Management my first career. I retired early and then worked for Kern County FD for a second 20.

Why they chose this property

This is the woods I where I was raised and it is wonderful. I lived in forests all over the state with the USFS and got back to the home I love in 1984 building a home on my folk's ranch. I bought it and we now rent what was their house.

What makes this property unique

Everything, it's a log home all by itself on a horse ranch surrounded by the forest, wildlife and beauty. This is a secluded little-known area of Sequoia National Forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains at 4900 ft elevation. The closest town is a small ranch town 11 miles (20 minutes) away.
